“Brooke was the absolute best with Penny! She did such an amazing job of keeping our senior dog active but with plenty of rest. When we came home, Penny was snoozing away , no barking nothing, which means Brooke clearly made her feel super comfortable. Would have her back whenever- she’s also an amazing house guest.”

About: I love being active and outdoors, dogs always have a special place in my heart. I am currently a veterinarian assistant and have been working with animals for over 7 years through the military. I have been trained on: first aid, grooming, hygiene, and care for all animals. Working with dogs of all sizes helps me better my skills so I can someday be a vetanarian and open my own hospital. I strongly believe that dogs are men best friend and should be treated with the best care and love. Running around with young and energetic dogs or walking and relaxing with older and relaxed dogs I love them both. And I look forward to having this great opertonity and experience with your dog. I work relief for a vet hospital but my availability is very flexible. I am able to take your pet out twice a day if needed. I have a fenced in back yard and a nice neighborhood where we are able to run and walk with our dogs. So there is plenty of space to play and relax.

About: Hi, my name is Ashley, and I am a middle school educator. Outside of teaching and working with students, I have a huge love for dogs. I have three family dogs, two girls and one boy, and I truly enjoy each of their unique personalities. Funny enough, my boy dog’s birthday is the day before mine, so I always joke that we have the same personality! I have always been the type of person who instantly notices dogs wherever I go. Whether I’m walking around town or traveling on vacation, I’m usually the one saying, “Oh my gosh, look at that dog! I want to go pet them!” I even find myself feeling emotional when I see stray dogs because I wish every dog had a loving home. Animals bring so much joy, and being around dogs has always been something that makes me genuinely happy. I am currently a school teacher, so during summer break I have open availability and more flexibility to provide pet care throughout the day. Once the school year begins, my availability will mainly be during evenings throughout the week and on weekends. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, so I do my best to follow the care instructions provided by their owner. Pet care for me includes making sure they receive their meals on time, have fresh water, go on their daily walks or potty breaks, and get plenty of attention. I also love spending time playing, cuddling, and giving them affection so they feel cared for while their family is away.

Trusting your babies and your home to someone when you're away can always be tough. It is nice to know that I could trust Latoya. Will definitely look for her help again!”

About: Caring for pets and house sitting has been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’m just getting started here on Rover, but I have over 15 years of experience managing homes and caring for all kinds of animals. Whether looking after my own pets or stepping in to help others, I pride myself on being reliable, trustworthy, and attentive to every detail. Having owned a senior pets myself, I understand the patience, gentle touch, and close monitoring they require. I am fully trained and comfortable administering medications, including oral doses and injections, so you can travel with total peace of mind knowing your pet's health is in expert hands. My schedule is currently flexible and I'm eager to help you and your furry friends. I'm usually available after after a 24 hour notice. For House Sitting or Drop-Ins I treat your home with the utmost respect and strictly follow your security routines. I ensure all doors, windows, and gates are locked securely behind me. During visits, your pets are kept on a leash in unfenced areas. For Dog Walking Your dog's physical safety is my primary focus. I double-check all equipment (collars, harnesses, and leashes) before we leave the house and strictly avoid high-traffic or hazardous walking paths. I keep dogs on-leash at all times and remain highly alert to other dogs and traffic in your neighborhood.

“Cristal and Edgar were so great. We were only able to do a meet and greet two days before service began, but they were ready and willing to help my nervous doggie feel loved and cared for. They also watched out for our two bunnies while we were away. They sent pics and provided updates frequently. I won’t hesitate to hire them again.”

“Mckenzie was the first sitter we ever had, and she was great! She took great care of our crew, and knowing she was there with them gave us a lot of peace while we were away. She connected with me daily, shared pictures of my pups, and asked questions if she needed more information, which I really appreciated! On the way home, we got a flat tire, and she was willing to be on standby to let our dogs out in case we were home too late. She also left us notes about the week, again, which I appreciated! Highly recommend and we would definitely use her again! Thanks Mckenzie!!”

“Shannon was fantastic. She saved us from a last minute cancellation, and was a pleasure to work with. She looked after our small clan of pets: Samus the skiddish Aussie Shepherd, Oscar the grouchy Siamese & Yoshi the timid tabby point, over the weekend. Shannon was patient with Samus, as it takes her a bit to warm up to new folks. It was clear that Shannon really enjoys being around animals and took great care of our pets. She sent videos of playtime with the dog and told us how the cats absolutely loved her. Would highly recommend, and she will be our first call on our next get-away.”

About: Hi! My name is Iyah, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. While I am new to Rover, I'm not new to caring for fur-babies!! I have loved animals of all kinds since I arrived on this earth! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, personalities, and energy levels through previous and current professional work experience at a dog and cat care/boarding business, along with caring for pets in my personal life as well. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic grooming care, administering medications when needed, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also understand that every dog is different, so I always try to pay attention to their personality, routines, boundaries, body language and needs. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, including anxious pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always aim to provide reliable care, consistent communication, and lots of updates/photos for peace of mind. Whether your dog is energetic and playful or more shy and relaxed, I’ll make sure they receive patience, attention, love and genuine care. Your baby will be cared for and loved on as if they were my own. For me to be even more successful in what I do, I love all my clients to give me as much details about their babies as possible, I'm here to accommodate, support and make you and your pet-parent life as comfortable as possible. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! 🐾 ⚠️DISCLAIMER⚠️ 🐾 Meet My Pet-Care Partner! For transparency and safety, I want all pet parents to know that my fiancé, Robert, may accompany me for certain bookings—particularly overnight house-sitting stays or bookings farther away from home. Robert and I both work professionally with animals full-time and have hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats with different personalities, routines, and needs. We genuinely love what we do, and your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness will always come first. 🐶🐱💕 For house-sitting bookings, I may request that Robert accompany me, as I am a young woman staying overnight in an unfamiliar home and area. I completely understand that this is your home, so this will always be discussed with you beforehand—there will never be an unexpected additional guest in your home. You’re also more than welcome to meet both of us during our Meet & Greet so you can feel completely comfortable with who will be caring for your pets and staying in your home. My goal is for everyone to feel safe and comfortable—your pets, you, and us! 🐾🤍 I work two jobs, but my schedules aren't consistent. I'm open to taking care of your babies whenever I am off and whenever I do have free time. I would prefer coming to your home to care for your babies as I do still stay with family who are not as dog crazy and loving as me.

FAQs for House Sitting - Covington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Covington is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 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 October 2026, there are 2,020 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Covington. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.
