“Bill and Haley are more than I could ask for in dog sitters… once after my fight got delayed, they were willing to bring my dog Sadie out to the car at 1 am, so I wouldn’t have to drive back the next morning. They go above and beyond in attention, care and kindness. I absolutely highly recommend their services!”
“I had a wonderful experience with Jane and would absolutely book again. She took excellent care of my two dogs over for the week and was incredibly thoughtful, caring and communicative. I received updates each day with photos, which really put me at ease on vacation. Jane truly went above and beyond and am so happy with the extra special care she took for my pups. 10/10”

“Matt was a great caregiver for my 2 dogs (black lab & bernedoodle) while my family and I vacationed for a week. Prior to booking with him, he kindly offered to allow me to meet him and his dogs at his home. He quickly put my kind at ease and I knew that my dogs would be in great hands and be well cared for. While I was away, he sent nearly daily updates/photos and even a video of the dogs playing and were clearly right at home with his dogs and family. I highly recommend him and will definitely use him again in the future.”
About: I love all animals in general, I grew up taking care of dogs, rabbits, fish, birds, and turtles and have helped my roomies with their pets. I've volunteered at the Humane Society in Pasadena, CA and I have boarded dogs before. Now that I live alone and don't have pets I am trying out Rover to be able to make new furry friends, did I mention I have a backyard? I'm super detail oriented and will go above and beyond to take care of your high-needs pet. Also, I am big on cleanliness so let me know if your dog needs a bath and I'd be happy to help with that. If you would want me to take your dog out for frequent walks just let me know! I am working part-time from home and I am very active so going for walks is easy. I will plan ahead and let you know about our daily schedule and send pics, of course. I have a very sweet and gentle cat that sleeps on their corner all day, and I have a separate home office where I work during the day. Your pet would be with me all day or in the main living area if they wanted to.
“Our 15-month old Golden Retriever Cooper enjoyed an active weekend with Chrissy’s family, her their dog and a visiting Golden. Sounds like Cooper enjoyed playing with his big friends in Chrissy’s yard. Chrissy was super accommodating with an early drop off and a late pickup. She promptly replied to my texts and sent us pictures which we appreciated. Very happy with his stay and would return without hesitation.”
“I was glad to have found Kim via Rover. My cousins were able to have lots of fun attending my son’s wedding knowing their fur baby Macchie was cared for very well. Kim was very accomodating! Such a good experience. Will choose her again in the future!”
About: With 5 years of regular pet sitting experience, I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages - from bouncy puppies and playful kittens to my true area of expertise: senior pets. I understand the unique needs that come with each life stage, from puppy energy and socialization to the extra patience, gentle handling, and attentiveness that senior pets often require (think mobility issues, medication schedules, and just plain more TLC). Every pet in my care gets individualized attention tailored to their age, temperament, and routine. Whether it’s a high-energy young dog needing exercise and mental stimulation, or an older cat who just wants a quiet lap and consistent care, I adjust my approach to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I work from home so my schedule allows flexibility for lots of walks and potty breaks. My personal daily routine included exercise and regular walks, I’d love to include your pet! My home is one level and my yard is fenced in allowing for convenience to get outside easily and stay safe. Pets are welcome to roam free in my home, but happy to work with any crates or other training needs to stay on track.

Kamilah is an absolute saint! She just watched our very rambunctious 5-month old Chihuahua for two weeks. He's small, but quite the handful. She did a fantastic job and our puppy came back to us happy, healthy, and a little more leash trained than when we left him. I highly recommend her.
Reggie had a great time with Anastasia! She asked lots of questions to make sure that he was well taken care of. She also did a great job of keeping me updated. When I took him to her house the day after our meet and greet, he was actually excited when he realized where we were going. That’s incredibly rare. I will definitely use her again.
Susie was wonderful! She took great care of Maggie, made sure she got plenty of walks, and kept us updated throughout her stay with lots of pictures. It was so nice knowing Maggie was happy and well cared for while we were away. Susie was also incredibly friendly, responsive, and loved our dog. We would absolutely recommend her and would happily have her watch Maggie again!

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Covington home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Covington.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Covington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in KY ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
