“Richard and Stephanie were absolutely amazing with our girl Bailey! She had a blast and got tons of love and walks. They will love your dog like their own and it really gave us such comfort while we were away. We will definitely be booking them for our next trip, they are the best!”
“Darlynh is the best and I'll recommend her over and over. She sent me pictures to see how my buddy was doing. Cooper was shy initially and, I felt bad leaving him. But before I made it home, I received a picture of him all settled in and comfortable. If I could give her 10 stars, I would.”
“Alexia and her family took amazing care of my pups! Communication was great, and she shared pictures that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Thank you for looking after our girl Petra while we were out of town. The daily picture updates were much appreciated. I could tell she was having fun and not missing our absence as much. We’ll definitely be back. Thanks again!”
“Blair was so sweet and accommodating with our Baby dog! She sent amazing pics and videos while we were gone to keep us updated. We’ll definitely book with them again in the future as needed!”
“Shawndra was absolutely wonderful. She took amazing care of both of my dogs and sent the sweetest picture updates throughout their stay. I will definitely be using her again — highly recommend!”
“Suraj was so great with our fur babies Ben & Jerry. He walked them everyday. Took such great care of them like they were their own. If they did not want to eat, they would give them different foods to try to make sure that they are not hungry. I will be using him again in the near future. He would send me texts and emails with pictures of the dogs. We had a meet and greet before we decided to leave our fur babies with him. They got along so well with their own dog Nanu. The first time the boys met them, they were so comfortable with Suraj and his family, that they laid down in their home to get belly rubs from them. I am going to refer him to all my friends and family. He also took great care of Jerry’s leg. Jerry has a little spot that was irritated and treated the wound very well.”
“I appreciate Brandi and Marvin for all of their help along with the care in consideration they took with Vinyl and Bella! I hope to use them again in the near future! Your fur babies are in great hands with them if you decide to book them.”

“When I say Ms. Julie is the best in her field. Ms. Julie and her husband were awesome., I had an absolute emergency. They didn't hesitate with my two large dogs and cat. I received videos, pictures this duo is the place to be. I'll definitely be back”
“Pups are tired - that’s how we like it. We received updates on their activities A late request on a holiday weekend - thank you all for the love and care. They are now sleeping. 💤 We will rebook at any given opportunity.”
About: With over 20 years of experience caring for dogs, I bring more than just pet sitting—I bring genuine love, patience, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. Dogs in my care enjoy a safe, comfortable, home-like environment where they can relax, play, and feel like part of the family. I specialize in dog training and behavior and have experience raising puppies, caring for senior dogs, and working with trained service dogs. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines, personalities, and comfort levels. Your peace of mind matters too. I provide regular photo updates, check-in calls, and FaceTime when requested, so you can see your dog, stay connected, and feel confident they’re being well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: treat your dog like family and give you the peace of mind that they’re in good hands. As a retired Army veteran who works from home, pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have the flexibility to give pets consistent attention throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods. My routine includes regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, training, and plenty of companionship. I also make time to monitor each dog’s behavior and comfort level, especially with puppies, seniors, and dogs with specific routines or needs. Because I work from home, I’m able to provide a calm, home-like environment with frequent supervision and individualized care. I treat every dog in my home like family and make their safety, comfort, and happiness a priority. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, dog-friendly home environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. Dogs receive plenty of supervision, attention, playtime, walks, and affection throughout the day rather than being left alone for extended periods. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications when appropriate, exercise, training, and special care instructions. I’m especially comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with specific behavioral or training needs. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel connected while they’re away. I provide regular photo updates and am happy to offer check-in calls or FaceTime so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether your pet stays in my home or I care for them in yours, my goal is to create a safe, respectful, and stress-free experience for both you and your pet.
About: I have always loved taking care of dogs. They have such a special place in my heart. They are really our best friends and I cannot wait to create a bond with your dog or puppy! I have a part time job that I get my schedule for on a weekly basis so I can be sure I am able to care for your pup! I treat all pets as if they are my own. I will give them lots of love and care, and make sure they always have what they need! Lots of snuggles and kisses to be expected
About: I’ve been dog sitting for families since I was 16 and have always had a dog of my own. I’m experienced with different routines, personalities, and administering medication. As a dog mom myself, I’ll treat your pup with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I work full-time, but I’m fortunate to work close to home and come home during my lunch break to spend time with the fur babies. This means they’re never left alone for more than about four hours at a time. When I’m home, they get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. I want every dog staying with me to feel like they’re right at home. I have a fully fenced yard for outside time, lots of toys to play with, and plenty of love and attention to go around. I’ll also stick as closely as possible to your dog’s normal feeding, potty, medication, and bedtime routine so they feel comfortable while you’re away.
About: I have always loved cats and dogs I also love bully breeds they may look tough but inside they can be like puppies to. I have taken care of my families and friends dogs for many years. Come and meet me I'm not working right now so have plenty of time to play, walk, clean and just give attention to your wonderful dog or cat buddy. I don't have a fenced in yard but am willing to take them out for a much needed walk or play with them in my place to get out all their energy out I assure you that by the time their back home they will need to sleep for days to catch up on rest from all their playing.

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.
97% 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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 TX 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.
