“Once again Amber took great care of our fur babies and our home. She kept us updated and sent pictures frequently. She will be our first choice anytime we need a sitter. Thank you for the piece of mind we have when away.”
“Elizabeth was amazing and patient with both Lily and Lewis. Her updates gave me peace of mind and allowed me to focus on my work trip. I knew she was giving my pets the same love and care I would if I were there. Highly recommend her for any of your furry friends.”
“Mateo was geear and professional to work with. He was able to come by multiple times a day to check up on Domino and provide him the care he needed! Would recommend to friends and family!”
About: Since the day I was born until this day I have had at least 7 different dogs in my family! I find so much joy in playing with them and seeing them have fun. I have dealt with all kinds of dogs; shy, aggressive, hyper(my favorite), mischievous,..... basically all of them :) I have pet sat for my friends and family’s dogs while they were on vacation and enjoyed every second. I am also an Olympic weightlifter so if you’re worried about your strong pup pulling too much on the leash, there’s no need to fret. I can hold them back! There is not one since dog that I didn’t find myself to love and adore with all my heart. I would love to take care of your pups whenever you need me to!! :) I am currently free all day Monday-Saturday, so my schedule is flexible! :) I am able to do drop ins three times a day to ensure that your animals get the care that they need. Primarily, I will make sure your pets feel safe and are well taken care of! I will ensure that your pet gets lots of love and play time while you are gone
“Kira was EXCEPTIONAL and EXCEEDED my expectations in every way. She obviously loves animals and my four dogs absolutely loved her. They all vied for her attention and her positive energy satisfied their demands. She is more than just a dog "sitter." She engages and "plays" with the dogs and they love it. I was very detailed in my requests regarding their care and she was eager to know what I wanted and met their needs beautifully. I had to be gone for four days to visit a very sick friend going through a bone marrow transplant and it was such a blessing to know my dogs were in such trusting, professional, and capable hands. Kira also took great care of my parrot, Buddy. Kira keeps a smile on her face and is very kind and sweet. She communicated with me while I was away and sent pictures of my dogs enjoying themselves. I returned to a home that was as clean as I left it, with a freshly made bed. I will use Kira and only Kira, if she is available. I selfishly and with hesitation HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kira for anyone looking for a dogsitter, because I want to keep her schedule open for when I need her. :) She is definitely a 10/10.”
“As first-time Rover users, we were initially nervous, but Taryn immediately set our minds at ease. She warmly suggested a meet-and-greet to ensure it was a good fit for us and our pets. While we were away, Taryn was excellent with communication, checking in upon arrival and sending regular photos and updates. Coming home was a delight; our house was spotless, our dogs were happy, fed, and well-exercised, and Taryn had even thoughtfully started a load of household linens in the wash. We have no doubt our animals adored her and received the very best care. We will absolutely be asking Taryn to return!”
“Joalice is a reliable and compassionate pet sitter! I am always at ease knowing she is looking after my pets and home while I am out of town. I will continue to use her as long as I can!”

“Shannon was great! I need someone in a very short amount of time and she was able to make it happen. Easy to get in touch with communication is outstanding. Our 2 goldens were loved on so much and very well taken care of while we were gone. Will definitely ask her to watch them again!!”

“Anna was a pleasant surprise after meeting with her. It was obvious she had been around animals all her life and was very familiar with their behavior. One of my cats took an immediate liking to her. The other cat, who is skittish and scared, warmed up to her in the four days I was away. Anna did not push and let her adapt on her own time. Both cats were calm and happy when I got home. Anna gave them her full attention and made sure they were spoiled and well cared for. Additionally, she took care of things in my home that I didn't expect, and I was very grateful. It is such a relief to have found someone that loves my cats like I do, is reliable, dependable and personable. So happy that I can travel without worrying about the care my babies receive. Thank you, Anna!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Covington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Covington is $50 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,019 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Covington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Covington walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Covington maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Covington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
