About: Ever since I was Itty bitty I have always adored animals. I was the kid bringing home strays every chance I got to make sure they found a loving home. In high-school I interned at a vet. This gave me knowledge and experience walking, feeding, administering medication, and understanding the behaviors of the animals around me. I am now an Army veteran and will be a full time student come the fall semester. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to give your precious babies the highest quality care so you can feel confident and secure that all of their needs are being met while youre away. I have 1 dog and 5 cats of my own all with their own quirks, personalities, and detailed instructions I give to my own sitters when needed. Rest assured that there is not much your pets could need that I am not up for! I am moving from out of state and starting school in the fall, so during the summer I will have complete availability while settling into our new home! Due to having so many cats, I will not be offering boarding/sitting in my own home. However for house sitting, walking, and drop ins I am happy to follow any and all detailed instructions and will send plenty of photos for your peace of mind!

About: Hi, I’m Kenzie! 🐶 I am a huge dog lover and actually have a 2 yr old Golden Retriever named Mango who is my best boy. I spend a lot of time outside—walking, playing fetch with Mango, biking, hanging in the backyard, or chillin at the lakefront—and I love bringing other dogs along for the fun. I’ve helped take care of family and friends’ dogs over the years, and I also used to work at an animal hospital, so I’m comfortable with basics like feeding, walks, baths, and nail trims. If you need someone to stop by, give your dog some company and love, or take them on a walk, I’ll make sure they’re cared for and happy while you’re away! 🫶 I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule so it is easy for me to check on them at pretty much anytime of the day! I mainly do drop-in visits and or walks. During drop-in visits I feed them, let them out for fresh air and to potty, and have lots of playtime.
About: With a lifetime of experience around dogs, cats, exotic animals like iguanas, and birds, I offer exceptional pet care. I'm currently working as a training vet tech, as well as in dog and cat boarding, giving me years of daycare and boarding expertise. I'm skilled in caring for pets of all ages, from senior dogs to puppies, and experienced in administering medications. Comfortable with all breeds and sizes. I am currently expanding my knowledge as a student in the Penn Foster Veterinary Technician program. I work every Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, but with a two weeks notice, I can always request off if needed. i'm always willing to work my schedule around you and accommodate your needs! I offer a safe and nurturing in home pet sitting experience, whether in your home or mine. While my home doesn't have a fenced yard, I compensate with enriching leash walks on my spacious property and park visits. You can trust that your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and respect they receive at home.
“Kathryn did a great job taking care of Millie. She was timely dropping in on both mornings and night and provided lots of pictures and updates on every visit. I will definitely want to use Kathryn again for drop ins”

About: I’ve been around dogs of every size for my whole life. I have owned a 2 lb teacup poodle and a 120 lb Golden Retriever. Neighbors, friends, and family often come to me when they are out of town to watch their pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends, as well as during the week for repeat clients by request. I do my best to stay flexible and accommodate each pet’s schedule and needs. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM in the office, but I’m available for drop-in visits in the morning before work, during my lunch break, and anytime after work. I live in a house in Covington, LA with a large fenced-in yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run and play. Inside, there’s ample room for pets to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home. I always prioritize each pet’s safety and individual needs. Pets can be kept separate or allowed to interact and play together based on their temperament and owner preferences. I aim to create a calm, secure, and loving environment where every pet feels well cared for.
About: My first career choice as a child was to be a veterinarian. My life took a different path, but I never lost my love and desire to care for dogs. I am an avid dog lover and defender of our four-legged furry friends. We as humans are responsible for the pets that come into our lives, and it is my goal to help assist you with the care of your furry family member when you need it. I have volunteered at a local dog rescue sanctuary and currently work as a volunteer transporter for Save A Lab Rescue. I am a full time, veteran homeschool mom. On-going long-term set schedules work best for me, however, I am willing to consider flexibility based on my client’s needs. I do not board pets in my home. I also do not do overnight pet sitting in my client's homes. Drop ins and walks are my areas of service.
“Gabrielle was always timely and had great communication. She’s very professional and took great care of our cat, and even watered our plants while we were away. We’re very appreciative of how well cared for our cat was while we were away!”

I have cared for senior pets as well as young pets. I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently work part-time as a server in Mandeville. The shifts are 4-6 hours long. I do not work doubles when I am scheduled for pet-sitting, so no need to worry about me being gone for anything more than 4-6 hours at a time. I have two bunnies of my own, so I just need to check on them every other day for overnight stays. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. When I do overnight stays, I will leave your house cleaned and taken care of as I do my own.

About: I’ve been a vegetarian almost half my life, loving animals since I was born! Elderly, small, or big I’ve taken care of many animals my whole life. In fact I almost went to school to be a vet tech… I’ve had bunny’s, birds, dogs, cats &kittens, hamsters, snails, frogs, lizards, and more. My soul mate dog passed at 19. She chose me when I was 5. I’ve never grieved more than loosing her.. with that I can say I’m very experienced in elderly dog care. I’m currently a stay at home mom, I am very available! My 19 month old baby naps at 10, and is up around 12:30 but we’re easy and times can always be rearranged depending on what your family needs! (Yes we see animals as our family members in our home) I have a fenced yard, and a pool. I have two cats, one is in/ outdoor.. and one that stays inside they’re both very mellow and depending on what you need maybe a sweet friend can sleep over or have a play date! I have a 11 year old daughter and a 19 month old daughter, they adore animals as much as me!!
“Bobbi was great!! Very professional and a calm demeanor that my dog loved. My dog has medical issues so it was great to know Bobbi’s background and studies make her knowledgeable about taking care of special needs dogs. I highly recommended Bobbi.”

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. I’ve grown up with always having a dog and a cat. I’m very flexible and always available! I’m a online student who has many pets! I have a lot of free time. I love animals and always looking for something to do! I live in a large field but I have a fence. If your pet is okay being around animals then it’s very safe for them! if not, i also have a house in baton rouge where i do school that has no pets and is also fenced in!
About: I enjoy taking care of dogs as I am unable to have a dog of my own due to work travel. I enjoy taking them for walks and runs if they are up for it! I currently travel for work, but home long for stretches to care for your doggie when needed. When I'm home, I'm available the entire day. I have a big front yard and fenced in backyard with a spacious back patio. Lots of room to play and run. If your dog requires a crate, I have the room for that as well.

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them goes beyond just “watching dogs” for me! I spent nearly a year working at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, as well as energy levels-from playful 4 month old puppies to sweet senior dogs who just need a little extra patience and care. I grew up around dachshunds and dobermans my whole life, and I now have my own Dalmatian that I rescued from illegal breeding. I understand both high-energy breeds and animals with unique personalities. My experience in pet sitting, dog behavior, proper socialization, and enrichment allows me to provide care that is attentive, structured, and tailored to each dog’s needs and personality. Whether your dog loves playtime, cuddles, walks, mental stimulation, or simply a calm and restful environment, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for and loved while you are away. As a college student out for the summer, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to your pets. Aside from a job commitment one weekend a month, my availability is open for almost anything-walks, drop-ins, and daycare! Your pets comfort and safety are always my #1 priority. I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming home where your dog can feel right at home. I make sure they have both companionship and personal space when needed. I have a room in my home with a tall baby gate dedicated for dogs where they can decompress, and nothing will bother them if they want their own space. I also have a very playful and friendly Dalmatian, Siggy, who loves having company around the house. I will always supervise if Siggy would be around your dog, including a safe and proper introduction of the two dogs and continuously watching them when they would be playing.

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.
