“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!”
“Monte did a wonderful job keeping tabs on my pup! He was kind and welcoming with the introductions, as well as his furry companion. Definitely will be contacting Monte again in the future.”
“Jane was terrific! She sent adorable pictures and fun updates every morning and our dog clearly enjoyed his time with her. We will definitely try to book with her again in the future!”
“My pup, Roscoe, absolutely loved his stay! Kelti was friendly, accommodating and most of all, they cared for Roscoe like he was one of their own dogs. Will definitely book again in the future!”
“I needed a place to board my dog for a night while my husband and I went to a wedding. Our dog has been to standard daycare facilities but isn't fond of being left alone so we didn't like the idea of her staying in a kennel. Alison was really accommodating and assured us that our sweet girl would get plenty of attention and play time with her own dogs, which is perfect because our girl loves to make friends. We were afraid that she'd have trouble settling in because she's very attached to us, but we were put at ease when Alison sent a picture of our girl sleeping on a comfy couch. They also made sure she had her allergy meds and food. This is exactly the environment and attention our dog needs to be comfortable being away from us for a bit. Thank you so much for watching her!”
“Fantastic experience. We left our 2 precious puppies (6 months old) when we went on a cruise. Unfortunately we have very little wi-fi access so couldn't be available for 7 days. After the meet and greet I felt completely comfortable leaving Ginger and Rory in Tasha & Joseph's capable care! They sent pictures daily of the activities and fun they were having. I also really appreciate their flexibility with the drop off & pick up! (we came home really late and I couldn't wait to see my pups!) I would absolutely recommend Tasha & Joseph to anyone! Thanks again for everything!”
“This was our first time with Dana and Jason, who were great. We were very comfortable with leaving Ellie there overnight. Dana sent pictures and gave us updates. We will be using them again in July.”
“I would undoubtedly recommend Jenny to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog! Her communication was excellent both before and during the stay (she sent daily updates and pictures of Piper!) Piper was so well taken care of! She loved the walks Jenny took her on! I was nervous using Rover for the first time but now know I have someone reliable to care for Piper when we’re away!”
“Maddie was an incredible sitter. She was very knowledgable and provided pictures and updates throughout the day. There is a big backyard which was great for Chester to get some energy out. I would absolutely request to use her again!”
“Karen was amazing! This was our first time using Rover since getting our sweet pup and Karen put all of our worries at ease. We will definitely be using her again!”
“Patricia is a great sitter! I appreciate that she offered a meet and greet quickly and was very communicative throughout Annie Oakley's stay. We will definitely ask for her to sit Annie again.”
“Thank you so much you’re my best person ever that I found on Rover most people are just one and done for me because I’m very particular about my dog so thank you for the pictures and videos! You’re the best!”
“Thank you Lisa for taking great love and care for our Blade! This was our first time leaving our fur baby and Lisa kept us well updated on his weekend with her.”
About: You can count on me to treat your pet like another member of my family. Growing up on a farm exposed me to animals of all sizes from an early age and gave me a deep love for them. We always had dogs and cats, plus other animals. Because of this, I am comfortable administering medications to your pets and ensuring they get the love and attention you are looking for. I've had my rescue Pit, Rusty, for the past 5 years, and I love being a dog dad. I am a bit of a runner, so I am happy to take on high-energy dogs, whether that is for a longer walk or a good run. I am looking forward to helping you with your pet's needs and working toward being their new best friend! I currently work remotely as a freelancer and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule both during the day and evenings. I can host most weekends and live down from Eden Park. I'll do my best to work around your pet's needs and routine to meet you where you are! I believe in following what works best for your pet and reinforcing any behaviors/training you are currently working on with them. I also believe every pet should be loved and spoiled just like any family member. My day job is communications and marketing, so you can expect regular and consistent updates from me.
“We rebooked with Leann and again she was so great! Truly a life saver when a family emergency changed our plans. She went above and beyond what was expected and I am truly grateful for all she did to help us! Thank you!”
“We love Abbie! We moved to the area this year and are so grateful for her. She has watched Penny a few times and it always goes well. It is nice to travel and know that our girl is safe and playing with other dog friends.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Covington is $40

Jane was wonderful with our mini Goldendoodle. We did a meet and greet to make sure it was a good fit. He is elderly and on medications and she made us feel comfortable with meeting his needs. She sent a lot of updates. Our pup came home very happy! Would not hesitate to book with Jane again!
Cathy was awesome with Poppy! It was our first time leaving her for over a week and Cathy made us feel so comfortable. She would send updates and pictures every day and spoiled her with lots of playtime and snuggles. We will definitely use Cathy again in the future!
Jessica was, once again, amazing and available on short notice!! Indy was clearly very comfortable and well-loved in her care. It was great to know he was in safe and familiar hands! Regular updates and easy coordination/flexibility with drop-off and pick-up. Attentive to behavioral quirks. Without hesitation, I continue to recommend Jessica to anyone looking for stellar animal care!
Austin was fantastic from the start and really did a great job taking care of our dog. Our beagle stayed with Austin for 1 night and he was super attentive, listened, and made her feel at home. We were looking for a sitter that more matched our home environment to make her comfortable, versus a kennel. Austin came through on that and our beagle was super comfortable! Austin was very responsive in communications and sent updates during her stay, which we appreciated! Would book Austin again as he treated Roxy very well.
A+ experience! Raider had a wonderful time, and we loved receiving the daily photos and updates. It was clear he was happy, well cared for, and enjoying himself. Kiki was kind, gentle, and truly caring—exactly what you hope for when leaving your beloved pet with someone else. We were so pleased with the experience that we’ve already booked his next stay. Perfect for our spoiled fur baby! Highly recommend. 🐾💕
Madison and Adam are the best sitters ever! They send plenty of pictures and Minnie got plenty of walks. They were flexible when I had to drop her off and pick her up a little after the original scheduled time due to flights. Minnie came back, so happy and energized. She had a mini vacation herself! I definitely recommend them to anyone.

This was Mango’s first Rover sitter and as a (possibly overly so) doting dog mom I was a little anxious. Lexi was fantastic, providing daily updates and pictures that really helped put me at ease. Mango, on the other hand, clearly had a great time and enjoyed her vacation thoroughly. I would absolutely book with Lexi again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Covington on Rover is $37.45 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 787 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Covington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Covington sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Covington landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Covington home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
