Aurelia did a great job checking on our pups in a pinch. Our usual Rover lady was unavailable and we found Aurelia. The pups also really like her which is always a great sign. Great communication and responsive she showed up when expected and made sure our fur babies were well cared for. Highly recommend!!

Gracie could not possibly have done a better job. She went above and beyond for our pets and our home while we were on vacation for a week. She's kind, responsible, has great communication skills, manners and most importantly, she's wonderful with our beloved pets. We will be booking her again.

About: I've grown up with many types of pets throughout my entire life. I love animals and have been a volunteer at Northshore Humane Society since 2020, where I have experience walking, playing with, cleaning after, and even assisting in veterinary care with dogs. I especially love teaching new tricks and playing with them. I also have experience with reptiles and cats. I currently have a 9-year-old border collie and take him on walks and play with him for hours every day. He's a very active dog and I enjoy being active with him, as well as grooming him and interacting with him through any and all means. I love all dogs, but my favorite breed is the doberman! I also have a black cat named Breezepelt (named after my favorite book character), and a mexican black kingsnake named Asclepius! How I care for your pet depends on the specific needs and wants of the pet and what you as the owner would like. If I am house sitting, I am willing to play with, take outside, and walk with your pet as much as is desired. I have both leads and retractable leashes if you would like me to use my own. I am comfortable with crating if so desired. I will be keeping a constant eye on your pet and will ensure their safety to the upmost degree.

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.

Marisa was amazing! I booked a back to back drop in visit for my golden doodle fur baby Maggie, and Marisa exceeded my expectations. She brought her pup over to play with Maggie for the hour, which she had asked permission about beforehand. It was perfect, because Maggie got to get out of her kennel and play for bit with a friend in our backyard. Marisa sent a ton of pictures and a video of them playing and Maggie looked like she LOVED it. When I got home Maggie was still sleeping like a baby, so I know she got some good exercise. Thank you so much for taking great care of my puppy Marisa!

About: I have been around many different kinds of animals. Family and friends have always been able to rely on me to take care of the animals with my who heart and soul. I work part-time at a restaurant and i work mainly in the mornings and some nights. Usually only to 10-3 or 5-10. So I don’t work a whole lot. Within my clients home their animals will be given the best belly rubs and pets I can give. I will do everything with the best of my ability.

About: I am a very loving dog owner. I grew up in two households with five different dogs amongst them. Now, I have a handsome Irish Doodle who’s very friendly and playful. I’m not allergic to any type pf animal so shedding doesn't bother me. My house already has a bunch of dog toys available to any dog staying here. I live in a dog friendly, gated community where we can go on long walks and make new friends. They will be in good, loving hands. I work from home, so I can move my schedule around virtually however I want. This leaves lots of opportunity to pay attention to pets and take them out or love on them when they need it. I have a large crate if needed, but I will completely avoid using it if I have to. When I step out I just put everything that my Timmy could get in to out of reach. Otherwise, I’m pretty accommodating to whatever your fur baby will need.

Alyssa was so great. We met beforehand just to make sure we got along and for her to meet my cats. She visited my house right around the time we discussed, and was very thorough in sending me a detailed synopsis of each visit. I especially loved the amount of photos she sent over of my cats!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Covington on Rover is $19.26 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,216 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Covington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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. 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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Covington. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.
