“Jamie and Brian provide exceptional care. My dog truly gets pampered and is so excited to see them when I drop her off. I don’t have to worry about her for a second while I’m gone.”
“Lya was amazing! She made my dog feel like he was at home and provided updates and pictures the entire time. This was his first ever experience with a dog sitter and she made us feel so comfortable.”
“Haley was absolutely amazing with our dog, Leia! Super responsive, showed genuine care for our pup, sent daily pictures, was flexible to needing dates adjusted. Leia also had a couple smaller medical issues that Haley was more than willing to assist/accommodate to while Leia was in her care 10/10 would recommend!”
“Kelly was very accommodating and she accepted to dogsit for us as per our last minute request. Our dog had a lot of fun and he seemed to have felt at home during his visit, which was very reassuring. Also, Kelly provided daily pictures to update us during his visit. I recommend Kelly’s services. We are satisfied and we have already booked another stay with her this summer!”
“Debra was awesome. Immediately felt super comfortable with her after my meet and greet. She kept in touch and was home for lots of love for my Pup. He was clearly not stressed and happy when I picked him up. Will book again forsure!”
About: I grew up around animals. I have taken care of my own dogs, cats, rabbits and fish throughout my life. I have also taken care of friends pets when they’ve gone out of town. I am comfortable with large and small dogs, cats, and caged animals. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your pets. I have a 4yr old who is comfortable around animals and I am available for boarding if your animal is comfortable with men, women, and children. I live on a quiet street in an apartment and look forward to walking with your dog at my home or yours. I am comfortable working with multiple kinds of collars and leashes.
“✋ Stop Scrolling ✋ You found the perfect Rover Boarder 🏆 Alex and Bethany were absolutely amazing caregivers for our dog Maya while we were out of town. From the first day it was clear that we’d left Maya with true dog lovers that would care for and spoil her like a member of their family. They have a wonderful fenced-in yard and from their lovely daily photo+video messages, it’s clear they spend plenty of time enjoying the outdoors with their guest. We also appreciated that they only book overlapping dogs with clear permission from the parents, clearly giving dedicated attention to each dog and very healthy socialization when overlapping.”
“I have found a solid option for bookings for my pup Blaze. Luke, his wife and their 2 pups took great care of my guy. It looks like he had a great time staying with them and being part of the family for the day. I will be booking with them very often.”
“Anastasia watched Willow for two weeks while we were in Europe. She sent us updates periodically which was perfect since we were on vacation. Our daughter picked up Willow at the end and said that Willow was content and calm which means Willow had a good time adjusting. We will definitely use Anastasia again!”
“This was the first time Sunny was cared for outside his own surroundings and his first time meeting a dog. Maria was very thoughtful about Sunny’s firsts. Sunny is an investigator and enjoyed all the opportunities for adventure with Maria and her family. Maria sent photos and messages throughout the week, which we appreciated. When we need another boarding opportunity we will absolutely contact Maria.”
About: I love taking care of animals full time! I've had my own cats and dogs for over 17 years. Bella, a rat terrier mix (Bella passed in June of 2018) and Marley, a lab/greyhound who passed in 2025. I used to volunteer with Another Chance Pet Rescue fostering puppies and dogs until they found their Forever Homes so I’m familiar with all types and breeds of dogs. I've had experience with puppies, training and the needs of older pets as well as helping those who are anxious, scared or have come from so not so good homes. I just recently moved to the village of Lima but am familiar with all surrounding areas of Rochester. I enjoy walking, playing and taking hikes with dogs. My availability is flexible to fit your needs. I've had experience with a wide variety of dogs from a Chihuahua, Dachshund to Huskies and Pit Bulls. I also take care of small animals including cats, rabbits, gerbils, guinea pigs, hermit crabs, chickens, etc. and have recently expanded into Horses and goats ❤️ Pricing: Pricing is noted for dogs and cats only and is Per pet. I am flexible with adjusting rates depending on your needs and how many pets you have so please contact me. Walking and visits: This entails at least a 30 minute visit with your pets and I also send you a report card at the end of the visit with photos, potty breaks and what we did. House Sitting/Overnight visits: These entail 4 visits per day. Generally my times would be morning/breakfast, lunch, evening/dinner and once again before bed. If you need more visits I can adjust my schedule and rates to fit your needs. I do not spend the night with your pets unless for reasons it’s necessary or requested. I send daily photos and communicate how your pets are doing throughout the day. I will also bring in your mail and water plants:) I am currently pet sitting full time and taking care of my beautiful 10 year old daughter who occasionally helps me. My schedule is very flexible to fit your pets daily routine. I feel pets do better in their own surroundings and sticking to their daily routines. I’ll be watching your pets in their own home, making sure they are safe, comfortable and most important happy while you’re away!
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Priscilla has been absolutely amazing! 🥹❤️ I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my fur baby, Reese’s. She is incredibly sweet, caring, attentive, and trustworthy. She made me feel so comfortable knowing Reese’s was in good hands. It’s such a relief to find someone who genuinely cares for animals as if they were her own. I truly appreciate her kindness and the wonderful care she provided. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable pet sitter! Thank you so much, Priscilla! ❤️🐾”
About: I come from a family who has always had multiple pets at a time, with anywhere from 3 to 10 foster dogs under our care at any given time! I’ve cared for a wide range of dogs from smaller poodles and Shih tzus to much larger retrievers, border collies, and German shepherds. I have experience with cats as well, but much more lengthy experience taking care of dogs of different sizes and temperaments :) I am a med student so my schedule varies in flexibility but I live in a very walkable area and typically spend a lot of time at home studying! I love taking long walks in between classes and studying and would love to bring a furry friend along with me :) As I do have to be in classes some days for a few hours (no more than 3-4 at a time), i am better boarding pets who can be left alone for a couple hours. As for my home, I have plenty of space for them to run around freely.
“MIchelle was wonderful as always! She was so attentive to Pax's needs and checked in regularly with us with updates and questions. She got Pax out often for hikes and walks, and he loved being with her and her dog.”
“Excellent pet people sent pictures of ayce on car trips,walks,and just hanging in there house with them and there toddler keep us updated with his activities will use them in the future and will recommend them to others”
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs since I was a kid. I’ve always had a big heart for dogs and love showing them care and attention. As I’ve gotten older, my love for dogs has only grown. I enjoy being around them, playing with them, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. Depends on my college schedule but i’ll make time for dogs to care. I’ll like to glad to make time whenever you can. I’m a dog lover I understand that trusting someone with your dog is important. I will provide a safe, comfortable, and caring environment. I also want owners to communicate with me about their dog’s needs, routines, and behaviors.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for family and neighbors since I was 12 years old. I love animals of all shapes and sizes!

I love giving personalized special attention to each pet I meet. I take pride in treating all my clients with the utmost care and love the flexibility of personal pet care vs. a large facility. I’d be happy to watch your furry (or not furry) friends! I’m currently inbetween jobs so my schedule is mostly open! I’m flexible with visits and am excited to use my free time for the things I enjoy! I just went from working full time at a pet care facility to now finally pursing cosmetology again! I’d love to learn grooming aswell! I’m flexible with my visits and happy to workout whatever works best for you and your pet! I am extremely comfortable around dogs and have done pet behavior training! I am trained to make animals as comfortable as possible and pay close attention to body language!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 248 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Covington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Covington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Covington. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 NY 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
