“Tori took great care of my kitties! I returned from a trip to find my house and pets well cared for, clean, and happy. Thanks for putting in the time and cuddles and I appreciate the terrific communication!”
“Susan was absolutely wonderful while watching my cats! She was incredibly communicative and so easy to coordinate with from start to finish. She took the time to give me thoughtful updates on how each cat was doing, spent a very generous amount of time with them, and sent lots of photos that really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear she treated them like her own, which means everything to a pet parent. I’m so grateful for her care and will definitely be asking her to watch them again for any future trips. Highly recommend!”
About: I've had animals all my life including cats, dogs, fish, and lizards. I was responsible for them at an early age and now, I have raised my cat and dog on my own to be responsible members of society. Hello! I am currently a 3rd Grade ELA teacher here in Cincinnati. I’ve had animals all my life and would love to take care of yours when you are not available. Right now my openings are only on the weekends, but that will soon change during the summertime! I have three floors for pets to explore, a fenced in patio, and I live near three parks that dogs could take advantage of frequently.
About: Family and friends started asking me to take care of their pets when I was around 15 years old. Ever since, I've taken care of dogs and cats (even a few lizards!) for people all over my hometown. I've done simple tasks like going to someone's home to just let the dogs out to potty and feed them, all the way to staying at people's homes while they're away. When I was between jobs as a teenager, I briefly worked for a local company that took care of pets on the daily. I've taken care of puppies, small dogs, big dogs, senior dogs who need meds and extra patience, etc. I have a huge heart and am a very empathetic person, especially when it comes to animals of any kind. I have always had a dog or dogs in my family, but am currently pet-less so I'll have all my love to give for your furbabies! I am currently unemployed for the next two months until I go back to school at the beginning of August. I’m very flexible when it comes to time up until then. If you continue with me until that time, then we can talk about what pet care will look like for me after that time frame. I currently do not offer care in my own home, but am more than willing to do whatever you need in your home. Walks, lots of hang out time, more than happy to find the nearest dog park to you (if your pups like others), maybe trips to the store for treats if you’re cool with it! I will always respect your boundaries no matter what.
“Ben was fantastic with Henry and Homer. I appreciated all the extra care and love Ben gave my guys when I was away. They were very well taken care of and Ben went above and beyond all expectations.”
About: I’ve had a dog for 12 years, so I’m experienced when it comes to taking care of dogs! I have experience walking and pet sitting for my friend’s dogs as well. I love all types of dogs. I want them to have the most positive experience possible! I work full time, but I work remotely on Mondays and Fridays. I’m looking to walk dogs after the work day or on weekends. I can also pet sit and/or check in on pets on weekends/Mondays/Fridays. I would love to hangout with your pet(s) and give lots of cuddles. I enjoy being active, so would have no problem taking your pet(s) on long walks and playing with them.
“Courtney was super great and put me at ease while away from my cats! She listened and followed all my instructions carefully and her communication was great. Highly recommend her!”
“Anise was very communicative and thorough in her care of my cat, Nala! I would certainly ask for her help again, as I knew Nala was in good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: While I'm fairly new to pet-sitting, I am experienced with both dogs and cats. I became accustomed to caring for dogs when my family welcomed our poodle, Rosie, to our home back in 2020. Everything there is to know about caring for dogs, I am very familiar with! I have also done a handful of kitty check-ins for a friend over the past year, consisting of playtime and plenty of petting. I am so thrilled to get started on Rover! I currently work part-time in healthcare 4 days a week until 1:30pm, so I am available every afternoon, evening, and some mornings for pet care. This also applies to weekends as well! When walking dogs, I make sure to keep an eye out for our surroundings, whether that be nearby people, other dogs, or potentially harmful plants. While I do allow the dog I'm caring for to explore, I also know to keep a short leash when the situation warrants it. As for pet check-ins, I am very respectful of the home I'm being welcomed into. My number one priority is caring for your pet, so I am careful to clean up after them if any accidents happen.
About: I regularly pet sit for friends and family. 1-3 weeks mostly; but can do just a few days as well. Private home with a fenced yard. Dog lead in yard is available. I love to walk! Short or long walks are all fine with me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve owned 3 in my adult life. I even fostered a dog for 9 months! It was hard to give her up; but she went to a loving home. I’m honest and trustworthy and dogs just make every day better! I work a pretty flexible schedule. I’m retired so I have lots of time. If your dog likes car rides and public parks…awesome! There’s also 2-3 dog parks not far from my house I have a big yard that's about 70 yards deep and I have a secured lead in both front and back yards. For added safety, I attach an air tag to your pets collar. There are sidewalks all around my neighborhood for safe walks on a leash. I'm not a fan of dog parks. I prefer to select my walking path to ensure your pets safety. I live alone.
“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 :)”
“Breanna was great as always. Very accommodating and actually helped with an unexpected house/ weather issue that popped up. She’s great and I feel very comfortable having her care for my cats/ home.”
“Cathy was great with my cats. My shy cat even came around to her. She communicated with me daily while on vacation. I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing my cats were well taken care of.”
About: Hi, I’m Alexa! I’m a 22 year old lifelong animal lover with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs. Growing up, I helped care for multiple Vizslas as well as a Great Dane, giving me experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I currently have a miniature dachshund who is truly my world, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. My boyfriend, Alex, who lives with me, also helps care for the dogs we sit. He grew up with a Husky, has years of experience with dogs, and as a 6’3” former college athlete, he’s especially comfortable handling large, strong breeds. Together, we’ll treat your pets like family and provide them with the same love, attention, and care that we give our own. Starting July 20, my schedule will look slightly different. I will be available on weekdays after 5 pm, and I will be fully available on the weekends! I currently live in a 1 bedroom apartment in an near Findlay Market! Lots of sidewalks to walk on as well as 2 dog parks very close by. Apartment also has a pet spa and a dog run!
About: I'm a lifelong dog lover with two of my own a 6-year-old Golden Retriever and a 2-year-old Lab/Aussie mix. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have years of experience dog sitting. I treat every dog like family and am comfortable with all breeds and energy levels. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to help! I'm a graduate student at Xavier University with a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks or check-ins throughout the day and can also stop by in the evenings after class. With my experience and having dogs of my own I am able to ensure dog safety and that their needs are met. I will also treat your dogs as if they are my own.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Covington
Tess was absolutely amazing with Louie and Twiggy. She stepped in on very short notice, communicated constantly, followed every instruction carefully, and treated both dogs with so much patience and affection. She sent thoughtful updates and photos, noticed small details, asked the right questions, and made sure they were comfortable, safe, fed, and cared for throughout the visit. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. We felt completely reassured knowing they were with her and would book her again without hesitation. Highly, highly recommend!
When our initial plans fell through, our thoughts immediately jumped to Katie to take care of Cora. She got back to us so quickly. We can always trust her to take superb care of Cora in a professional and caring manner. We are so lucky Katie is here for us and for Cora. Seriously can’t recommend her enough!
Georgiana was amazing! This was my first time using rover and she made me feel at ease! Our dog had an accident in the house and she took it upon herself to clean it up even after I had told her not to worry about it (didn’t want her to have to do that)! Georgiana is very thoughtful and sweet! Would recommend her to anyone!

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.
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Covington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
