About: Experienced and dependable pet sitter with a lifelong background in animal care, having owned and cared for small to medium-sized pets since age 6. I’ve provided pet sitting for family members’ large dogs and cats, handling feeding, playtime, and daily routines with care and attention. I also have hands-on experience raising kittens from just days old, including bottle feeding and monitoring their health. I genuinely love working with animals—especially fluffy ones—and prioritize making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. 🐾 I am currently seeking pet sitting opportunities and have a flexible schedule during the week, allowing me to accommodate a wide range of pet care needs, including visits, feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I work all day Saturday, Sunday, and wednesday; I work half days Monday and Tuesday and I am off thursday and Friday. I enjoy spending time with animals and prioritize creating positive, calm interactions—whether that’s playing, comforting anxious pets, or simply keeping them company so they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes or any messes, and giving them attention through playtime, petting, or quiet companionship depending on their personality. I also make sure doors, gates, and safety areas are secure before leaving.
About: I’ve grown up with at least one pet in the house. In the past I’ve watched over dogs with lots of medical care and also puppies as well. Im currently working a part-time job so i have lots of free time. My hours are all over the place sometimes, however i never work past 6pm I will treat them like on of my own. I can throw the bal with them, walk them around the neighborhood and give them all the belly rubs!
About: I've had animals for most of my life, and have had a lot of experience with dogs and senior care. Until more recent, we had 2 elderly labs (brother and sister) who lived to be 16 & 17 and a senior cat. They had multiple medications, health issues, as well as other restrictions. We currently have no animals besides a gecko. I'm available for boarding weekends and work from home Thursdays and Fridays so they would receive lots of love and attention! I am also available to go to your house. Our house is set up for dogs with a fenced in yard as well as a dog taj mahal if ever we needed to crate them :)
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. My little chihuahua of 14 years, just passed this spring, and her brother in 2020. I still have a 10 year old tabby cat named Sam. I've loved on, bathed, groomed, cuddled and took my dogs on long walks for years. Let them come up and cuddle on the couch any time they wanted and taught them some basic training. I am currently not employed with an establishment. So I can be available any time for walks on weekday mornings and afternoons. I can pet sit on the weekends as well! I have a fenced yard that your dog can run around and play in. I can also crate them if that's something they should need/per your request!
“Amanda was amazing! She was incredible with our two cats. We needed to find someone quickly before an international trip and we are so happy we found her. She sent us messages and pictures of them every day, seeing them every night before bed helped us feel at peace and that they were in great hands. I totally recommend her and will definitely book again in the future!”
“Mandi was amazing!!! Mandi watched our sweet 10-year-old Maine Coon mix boy, Poseidon. Mandi was responsive, attentive, and our boy LOVED every visit!!! We also got the cutest updates and best photos too!!! We will definitely be booking with Mandi again and truly couldn’t be more grateful for all the love and attention Mandi gave our boy during our absence!!!! Thank you so much, Mandi!!!!!!”
About: I have many years experience with small and large dogs. I had a poodle for 12 yrs and a Labrador for 15 yrs. I currently have a medium elderly 16 year old that still loves his walks! Special needs dogs are just fine. I am retired and home most of the day during the week. I go to the gym and yoga then at home. If I go out on Weekends I am home every evening. I have a fenced yard and a safe neighborhood. The area is dog friendly for walks. My house is safe for animals including quiet spaces to relax. I can travel locally for visits too. I am flexible and reliable. I worked in the healthcare industry and for the State of Washington. I also foster for the humane society.

“This was my first time using Rover and having Ali take care of my cat while I was out of state was great! Ali was communicative and great with my cat! I would highly recommend hiring Ali 💯😊”
“Grace is amazing! She’s very kind, honest, hard working, on top of things and very trust worthy! She stayed all day for a few weeks with my girl because we couldn’t leave her alone. So grateful to her help! She’s a great pet sitter and an even greater person! :)”
About: People choose me to watch their pets because of my absolute reliability and proactive communication. You will never have to wonder how your pet is doing because I send detailed updates and photos after every check-in! Additionally, I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring it is secure, clean, and welcoming for your return. I’m home for the summer until September. I currently don’t have a summer job, so my availability is very open. Shoot me a message and we’ll fit it into my schedule! I usually pet sit for my sister. When I do, I ensure the safety and comfort of her dogs by taking them outside to go potty frequently, feeding them twice a day, playing with them, and cuddling them to aid their separation anxiety. I send detailed updates and photos to her and let her FaceTime them upon request :-)
About: I currently am a proud parent of a purebred Pomeranian and a cat - both of which I love dearly and take care of with great care. Going out of town for the weekend and need someone to walk your puppy? I got you. Need someone to sit with them while they eat because they have anxiety? You bet I'm gonna sit there until that foods gone. I love animals and you bet I'll love and take care of your animal too. Weekends only please unless otherwise requested. I work full time from 8:30-5:30 but I can do evenings if requested in advance. Thank you for your consideration I live right next to a park that I take my dog for walks in almost daily. My Pomeranian loves playing with other dogs/puppies so they'll wear each other out. Water and treats provided (treats with owners consent before distribution). Please provide baggie of dogs food if watched for extended period of time
About: I have had pets my whole life, starting with cats. I got my first dog of my very own at 25 and I have had several dogs since. I am comfortable with all breeds and am capable of basic training, though I am not a professional trainer. I love all animals and can care for most pets no matter the species. I currently work part time for myself and control my own schedule. I often have several days off a week and can do drop ins on days I don’t have prior work booked. I can do early mornings or later in the evenings as well as mid days. I will not be taking pets into my own home as I have my own dog with some dog reactivity/anxiety. We are working through it, but she needs time and space for that. Safety is always my first concern. I will always take the proper precautions to ensure pets are safe and looked after properly. I am familiar with dog behavior and body language and I want to keep them feeling safe and comfortable under my care.
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Mostly dogs but I have also had cats, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, and various other small animals. I currently have two wonderful and very active dogs. River is female Catahoula mix with nonstop energy and Atlas is a male Cane Corso mix that steals the heart of anyone he comes in contact with. In addition to taking care of my personal pets I have cared for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors ever since I was young. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and all stages of life from puppy/kitten to senior! I am a stay at home mom. I am married with 2 wonderful kids ages 10 and 7. I have an active household who love sports and the outdoors. I feel blessed to be a stay at home mom as it gives me the flexibility to be home to spend time with my children and fur babies. I have a fully fenced yard and my two dogs love to play ball or just lounge in the sun. I also love to go to the dog park and let my dogs run and socialize. I keep a pretty active lifestyle and my dogs go for a run several times a week and they love hikes when schedules allow!
About: I have cared for cats and dogs since I initially started pet sitting over 15 years ago! I have experience with everything from brushing teeth to taking pups on hikes with me! I would love the opportunity to care for your furry friend as if they were my own. I currently have a good amount of free time with only working part time on a flexible schedule. I am available most days of the week. I am respectful about your belongings and your home. I clean up any messes that are made and will care for your home like it's my own.
About: I have experience working on this app since around 2017 in the Seattle metro area. I love animals of all kind and have experience with extra large to extra small. I am currently available full time. This means I will stop accepting requests at 40 hours per week. My weekends and weekdays are open for pet care. I will gladly follow all instructions left to keep your fur baby satisfied and safe while you are away during our house sittings and/or visits.
About: I have been taking care of all different types of pets since I was very young. I adore animals and treat them as my children! I work nights, usually Thursday - Monday. If boarding at my house, I will make sure your pet is well taken care of. I will also make sure they are comfortable before I leave for work. If you would like me to drop by your house to check in on your pets, I can do that before and after work, and on my days off. I only board one household at a time, so your pet gets my full attention in a calm, home-style environment. I have an unfenced yard, so the pets will be kept inside and walked outside on a leash. I currently own 2 cats that are very friendly and will enjoy the company. However, I can always separate them if personalities clash. If you would like a drop in at your house, we can figure out the timing and details. I love animals and will treat your pet as my own!

Marie took great care of our dog and 2 cats while we were out on vacation. She was super fast to respond to any of questions before booking. During the visit, she wrote up great reports and took plenty of pics to let us know everything was ok while we were gone. We wouldnt hesitate to book Marie in the future.
Ariana is amazing! The Boyz love her. She always takes such good care of them. Ariana always sends me updates with pictures. She's very communicative so if we have any concerns or questions she's always quick to answer. As long as the Boyz are happy and they are life is good!

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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

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.
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.
