“Can I leave 15 stars??? Kay is fantastic. We had three of our regular sitters cancel on us for our trip over Thanksgiving. We were about to have to cancel our trip. Kay came in and took such great care of our girls, including our recent rescue that had some behavioral issues. She took great pictures and gave us updates on our babies. She even fed our fish and took in our black Friday packages. I'll be using her every time we have to leave our babies at home.”

“Catecha was Exceptional dog sitter! Leaving your dog with someone can be stressful, but Catecha made the entire experience effortless and reassuring. Catecha communication was excellent, Catecha was dependable, attentive, and clearly have a natural connection with animals. My dog was not only cared for, but genuinely loved on while I was away. Coming home to a happy, calm dog confirmed I made the right choice. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Catecha again and highly recommend Catecha to anyone wanting top-tier care for their pet.”
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.
“It was so easy to work with Max and Savannah. They came over a few days beforehand to meet our pups and make sure the dogs would recognize them when I wasn’t home. It relieved a lot of stress and worry while I was at work.”
“Marilyn is such a wonderful pet sitter! She took amazing care of my cat, and i could tell my cat was genuinely excited to see her. This means a lot coming from an extremely shy timid cat! Not only did she feed and handle the litter for my cat, but she also spent time interacting with her during each visit which my cat appreciated. We feel assured that our cat is in great care whenever Marilyn takes care of her.”
About: I have had animals my entire life, so 30+ years of experience. I know that your fur babies are a part of your family. You can count on me to make sure they feel at home. I am currently not working so my availability is usually wide open! I would love to turn petting sitting into a full time gig, as animals have always been a way to my heart. I have a fenced in back yard. I have two extremely friendly medium sized dogs (both are spayed/neutered). I also have 2 playful cats that interact very well with the pups. All of our pets are inside only.

“Merit was absolutely wonderful! She took excellent care of Bramble and Ash while we were away and went above and beyond in every way. She was incredibly attentive, made sure we received photos every visit (even when our shy cats were hiding!), and kept us updated throughout our trip. She even brought in our mail and left everything neat for us when we got home. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cats were in such caring hands. We would happily book with Merit again and highly recommend her!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Covington
Lydia is incredibly pet-friendly and caring. We knew that six small-breed dogs could be a challenge, but she was able to meet each of their individual needs while keeping us updated throughout the entire stay, which gave us complete peace of mind. We were able to truly enjoy our vacation because we knew they were in great hands. Lydia was very proactive, attentive, and communicative. We would definitely trust her with our dogs again and will gladly use her services in the future.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Covington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
