“This was our first time using Hannah and she was awesome! Super easy to communicate with, flexible with several changes in needs on our end, and our pups seem to love her. We look forward to using her again!”
About: Dogs have been in my household from a young age; I am very comfortable with all breeds. Currently, my parents have a 6 year-old golden retriever that I helped raise when he was a puppy. I am an active person and an avid runner, and am prepared to walk or run any distance with your pets. I have experience caring for others’ pets, including overnight stays. In terms of other experience, I am a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati preparing for a career in emergency medicine. I will make it my goal to ensure the well-being of your pet. I am currently enrolled in elective rotations as a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati. These require presence in the hospital most days of the week, though my weekends are free for dog walking, as are the evening hours. I will not be on any rotations in the first two weeks of October, and also during November, December, and January. I am a long-time lover of animals and am very sensitive to the needs of the pets in my care. I will make sure they are supported while their owners are away. I have experience with overnight stays and can be counted upon to look after your home in addition to your pet. I am comfortable around all breeds, including large dogs.

“Breanna was great! My cat really liked her and she was very attentive to him over the weekend. She sent me daily updates with funny pictures. Would definitely have Breanna watch him again -- can't recommend her enough!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and cat owner, I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I currently care for two cats of my own and have experience pet sitting for friends, neighbors, roommates, and family members. I've cared for pets ranging from playful kittens and puppies to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I'm committed to following your pet's routine as closely as possible, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or simply providing companionship while you're away. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and comfortable in their own environment, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. You'll also receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to give both you and your pet a stress-free experience from start to finish. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine. I have two cats of my own, so I'm used to maintaining consistent feeding schedules, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, and spending quality time playing and providing affection. I've also cared for friends', neighbors', and roommates' pets over the years, so incorporating walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care into my schedule feels very natural. I work well with routines and understand how important consistency is for pets, especially when their owners are away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a cat mom myself, I know how stressful it can be to trust another person with the wellbeing of your pets and take the responsibility very seriously. I carefully follow each owner's instructions for feeding, medications (if needed), exercise, playtime, and any special routines that help their pet feel comfortable. I make sure pets have fresh food and water, clean living spaces, and plenty of attention and enrichment while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is, so I provide regular updates and photos to give owners peace of mind. My goal is to keep pets happy, comfortable, and safe while maintaining as much of their normal routine as possible.
About: Dogs have always been part of my life! I've had many of my own and I regularly watch dogs for family and friends. I'm comfortable with all energy levels and personalities, from high-drive puppies to seniors who just want a slow walk and a nap. I follow your instructions to the letter, and I'll send photo updates every visit so you know exactly how things went. I'm an Army veteran, so showing up on time and doing the job right isn't optional for me. Availability: afternoons and evenings on weekdays, flexible on weekends. Weekdays I'm available for walks and drop-ins from 3:30 PM to 8:30 PM, and I'm flexible on weekends; morning, midday, or evening. Recurring weekday visits are ideal for me, so if you need someone consistent for the same time each day, I'm your guy. I keep my calendar updated and usually respond to requests within a few minutes. In your home, I follow your instructions exactly feeding amounts, medication timing, which doors stay closed, where the leash lives. I double-check gates and locks before I leave every time, refresh water at every visit, and never let a dog off-leash in an unfenced area regardless of how well they listen. On walks I stay on familiar, low-traffic routes and use a leash and harness the whole time. I keep your vet's info and an emergency contact on file before the first visit, and if anything seems off limping, not eating, unusual behavior you'll hear from me immediately, not at the end of the day. You'll get photos and a short update after every single visit. I'm an Army veteran, so being on time and following the plan is just how I operate.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs for my entire life! I’m apart of several animal rescue organizations, so I’ve received special training on topics such as trauma-informed sheltering. I’m currently working full-time with a VERY flexible schedule. I work from home (downtown) for most of the week, and live close to the office. Your furry friends will receive a lot of attention from me while you’re away! I’m able to be in the home with your animal(s) for the majority of the time you’re away. I give them extra space for the first little bit, so they can get to know and trust me. Their happiness and comfort is extremely important to me!
“Taylor was absolutely amazing with our 2 cats! We were worried they wouldn’t come out as they are both very anxious, however, they quickly warmed up to Taylor! She took such good care of them and the house. We really appreciated all of the pictures and thorough updates while we were away!”
About: Animals have been part of my life since childhood, from dogs and cats to hamsters, an iguana, fish, and even a duck. I’m a flight attendant and former professional ballerina, which means I’m responsible, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure. My cat, Rose, keeps my heart full, and I bring that same love and care to every pet I meet. Currently working as a flight attendant. If I am not up in the air I would love to be here spending time with your fur baby! Your pet’s safety comes first with me. I’m happy to follow any guidelines or routines you prefer so your pet stays happy, safe, and stress-free.
About: I have a 5 year old golden doodle and a 1 year old orange kitty. I have had my fair share of experience with wild and hyper pets, i love them all the same. I have helped my friends and family for years take care of pets while they are out of town. My goldendoodle is nearly 100 pounds so I am not afraid of taking care of or walking big dogs, as long as there is no history of aggression. :) I work a 9-5 M-F so if needed I can help before work feed your pets can check in on them. I prefer evening work as I know I will be off work by 5. I am happy to check in on your pets until 10 PM and walk them until sunset. I pay attention to detail and will make sure your pets are in a safe environment while you are away! Your pet will be safe and loved by me as if you were home yourself.

“Christina was the best! she took excellent care of our kiddos and even got our most sensitive cat to eat his meals (and take his meds!) without any issue! she sent us tons of photos, was super communicative, and super flexible. 10/10 recommend her for all your pet needs!!”
“AmariYah made this such a great experience, as this was our first time using Rover! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and it looks like our pets absolutely loved the experience too! She was very thoughtful and generous with her time, and her care of our little fur babies!”
“Dana has been so awesome with our 8-yr old cat, Momo. Momo was recovering from a surgery and was on a cone, so we’d been worried about leaving her by herself. We trusted her with Dana and we’re so glad we did because Dana has reallllyyyy helped us out (and calmed our separation anxieties too). She is calm and kind, and was great with Momo—she sent us regular, detailed updates and pictures from her visits. Dana was also great about giving Momo her daily medications, food and pets, and she actually did MUCH more than what we had asked of her. Really appreciate Dana and will definitely reach out to her in the future!! Highly recommend her <3 :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Covington
Ben earns his numerous 5-star ratings because pets respond to him like he's part of the pack and his communication and accommodation are incredible – I'm very glad to have Ben look after my two fur kids instead of taking them to a resort. They're happier and I'm more at ease getting text and picture updates
Megan is very communicative and excellent with my pups. This time they had a bit of an upset stomach, and she took such great care of them. She brings in all of my packages and keeps me updated each day on how they’re doing. I’ve literally been working with Megan since I joined the Rover app. She’s incredible!
AmariYah made this such a great experience, as this was our first time using Rover! She gave us plenty of updates and pictures, and it looks like our pets absolutely loved the experience too! She was very thoughtful and generous with her time, and her care of our little fur babies!
As a first-time pet sitter client, I couldn't have been happier with the experience. Communication was excellent throughout, with updates and photos provided after each visit. It was clear that my dog was receiving great care and attention. I would gladly use Johnnisha again and highly recommend her services.
Breanna was such a big help with my Benny! She sent pictures every time she checked in on him, which gave me so much peace of mind. He even had an accident while I was away, and she went above and beyond by cleaning it up and doing the laundry. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was with him. I would definitely recommend Breanna!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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.

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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
