About: Hi there! I’m a passionate dog owner and lover who knows firsthand just how much your pup means to you, because mine mean everything to me. With my own dog at home, I understand the importance of trust, routine, and genuinely connecting with every dog I care for. I’m active, outdoorsy, and especially great with high-energy dogs who need more than just a quick potty break. Whether it’s a brisk walk through the neighborhood or a drop-in visit to break up their day, I bring the same enthusiasm and attentiveness every single time. I’m a details person. Every dog is different, and I truly mean it when I say no instruction is too small. Have a pup with food allergies, a specific leash routine, or certain triggers I should know about? Tell me everything. The more I know about your dog’s quirks, preferences, and needs, the better I can care for them exactly the way you would. Here’s what you can count on from me: • Reliability - I show up when I say I will, every time • Attentiveness - I pay close attention to each dog’s mood, behavior, and individual needs • Communication - Expect updates and photos so you always know your pup is happy and thriving • Detail-oriented care - Your instructions won’t just be noted, they’ll be followed to the letter • A dog-first mindset - Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priority I’d love to meet your furry family member! Feel free to reach out to schedule a meet-and-greet. I always recommend one before our first booking so your dog and I can get acquainted on their terms. I work from home full time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can be fully present for your pet’s care. I prefer at least a week’s notice before booking to make sure I can give your pup the attention they deserve. My attention to detail means every instruction you give me will be followed carefully and consistently. Before any booking, I encourage you to share any triggers, fears, or allergies your dog may have, no detail is too small. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my first priority, and I treat every home and every pup with the same respect and care I’d want for my own dogs.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and have experience with both dogs and cats of all different ages, personalities, and needs. I’ve cared for seniors, special-needs pets, anxious animals, and pets who need oral medications or a little extra patience. I’m big on following each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible — meals, walks, medications, playtime, bedtime, and all the little things they’re used to at home. Some pets want to be attached to your hip, while others need time and space to warm up, and I’m happy to let them set the pace. I have two cats of my own and have had cats throughout my life, so I’m very comfortable with cat care as well as dogs. I’m used to everything from easygoing pets to the stubborn, mischievous, and “will absolutely eat that if you turn around for two seconds” variety. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll pay attention to your instructions, keep you updated, and make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention. I spend most of my free time at home and have a pretty flexible routine, so I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, playtime and company. We always start the day with a morning walk before I head to work, and I’m usually home by 3pm for the rest of the afternoon and evening. When I’m not home, my husband usually is, so there’s typically someone around to keep an eye on things and give your pet some company. I can sometimes accommodate short-notice requests, and I live right next to two parks in a safe neighborhood with plenty of places to walk. My home is kept pretty pet-safe — my two cats are professional troublemakers, so they’ve made sure we don’t leave much out that curious pets can get into. It’s just my husband and me at home, so there aren’t lots of unfamiliar people coming and going. We have a fully fenced backyard, and the house is mostly hardwood and tile, so scratches, muddy paws, and normal pet messes aren’t something I stress about. If your pet needs their own space, they can also have an entire room to themselves for a quiet, comfortable place to relax.

About: Years of doggy experience and lots of love to give. Very pet friendly family awesome yard with tons of toys, no need to bring anything but your pet and food I work my own schedule and home all of the time I have lots of love to give love to go on walks and do daily check ins I’m home all of the time my home is open and very pets friendly I send daily pics and have a doodle to share with his friends
“Dani watched our cats for the second time and did an excellent job taking care of them! We would recommend Dani's services to anyone looking for a caring, punctual, reliable, and kind sitter! Thanks you again!”

“I have a diabetic cat who's afraid of everyone and requires insulin injections 2x a day. I have not been able to find anyone willing to take on this challenging situation, until I found Cassie on Rover. I swear she can walk on water and is a cat whisperer. She took the time to come and watch me do a glucose test and insulin injection before the first trip I've been able to take in 7 yrs , knowing she would take good care of Punkin. I was gone for 8 days and she came twice a day and Punkin didn't hide from her like she does with everyone but me. I could not recommend her highly enough and will definitely be planning longer trips, using Cassie without worrying my cat would suffer. If you want a sweet, reliable and caring cat sitter, you want Cassie on Rover.”

“Lolita went above and beyond for drop ins for Indy while we were away. She is very sweet and loves animals. She has lots of energy and played snd ran with him in the back yard. She took lots of pictures and videos and did everything requested. I would highly recommend Lolita for caring for your pet!”

“Morgan did a great job filling in last minute for us! We will definitely consider her again for future dates. She was communicative and thorough throughout her time here. Kaya definitely appreciated the company.”

“Marcola was awesome with our highly sensitive pibbles pitty. She communicated with us on how Ruby was feeling today, which was moody, but she did a great job navigating it. We’ve used her before and will certainly use her again. Two thumbs up and a tail wag!”


“Willa was amazing! She took great care of my cat while we were away in Bali. She made sure to feed her twice a day and even played with her in the garden. We also had a broken door, and Willa took care of it right away while we were away from home. I really appreciate everything she did for us. I can’t wait to book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable and caring to look after their pet.”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all types and sizes, ranging from Frank, a 130+ pound lab mix, to my parent's dog Willow, a 20-pound Bernedoodle. I grew up learning about dogs from my grandma who competes in dog shows. I watched as she taught her dogs to jump and listen to her every command. My parents then got Willow as a little puppy where I realized consistency and puppy pads are essential. I have always been an active person and can't wait to take your dogs on a walk or maybe a run for those active dogs! I'm training for a marathon and would love the extra exercise. I can't wait to meet your pup! I currently work part-time as a substitute teacher while working on my teaching certification and master's online. I am coaching a 7th-grade girl's basketball team for 2 hours a day on weekdays. My schedule is very flexible and I can work around your dog's needs! I do not have a place for your dog to visit my home but I would love to watch your dog at your home or take them out on walks. I can crate dogs in your home if that is needed. I can feed, walk, brush, and play with your dog! Let me know how to best help you and your pup and I will do my absolute best.
About: With over two decades of pet care experience, I have a strong background in caring for dogs, cats, and even birds and reptiles! My attention to detail and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs sets me apart from other sitters. I am available Monday through Friday starting after 9 am. I’m flexible with scheduling and can work with you to find the best times that fit your needs! I am happy to provide pet care to all of your pets as if they were my own! I will ensure they receive the care and attention they need.

About: I’ve always had a love for animals, especially dogs! 🐾 I understand that every dog has their own unique personality, energy level, and needs. Whether your furry friend loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I want to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, especially when working with dogs who may experience anxiety, nervousness, or excitement around new people and environments. I treat every pet with the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own. My goal is to provide a positive experience for your furry companion while giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! ❤️ As a pet parent myself, caring for animals is already a natural part of my daily routine! 🐾 I enjoy maintaining an organized and flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to each furry friend. I offer drop-in visits and dog walking, whether your pet needs a refreshing walk, a potty break, feeding, playtime, or simply some extra companionship while you’re away. I understand the importance of consistency and will do my best to accommodate your pet’s usual routine and individual needs. My goal is to provide dependable, attentive care while giving you peace of mind throughout the day! ❤️ Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾 I understand that welcoming someone into your home and trusting them with your furry family member is a big decision. During drop-in visits, I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, playtime, and any special routines your pet may have. For dog walks, I prioritize safe leash handling, awareness of our surroundings, and walks suited to your dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. I respect your home and your pet’s personal space, especially when caring for shy, anxious, or senior animals. I always aim to create a calm, positive experience without forcing interactions. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates during each visit so you know your furry companion is safe, comfortable, and receiving plenty of love and attention! ❤️
About: In every pet care experience, I strive to create a special bond with each furry friend. As soon as I step into a home, my love for animals guides every interaction. Whether it's a playful pup or a laid-back cat, I approach them with a gentle demeanor, earning their trust from the start. Detail-oriented care is my priority. I meticulously follow every pet owner's instructions, ensuring that dietary preferences, playtime routines, and medication schedules are all handled with precision. Beyond the basics, I love introducing new toys and engaging activities tailored to each pet's unique personality. Creating a stimulating environment is key to making their time with me enjoyable and enriching. Communication is at the heart of what I do. I understand the importance of keeping pet owners in the loop, and I send regular updates complete with adorable photos. It's not just about providing information; it's about sharing the joy and special moments that make each pet unique. Handling unexpected situations is part of the job, and I take it in stride. Remaining calm and resourceful, I prioritize the well-being of the pets in my care. My goal is for pet owners to return to happy, healthy animals and a positive, trustworthy experience. Being a pet caregiver isn't just a service; it's a commitment to fostering a loving and secure environment for each furry companion. With a cat and dog, feed and provide fresh water, clean the litter box, and spend quality time playing or interacting. Regular health checks and grooming are essential. Adjust your routine to accommodate these responsibilities, fostering a healthy and happy environment. Caring for the owner's dogs and cats is a responsibility I take seriously. In my home or theirs, I create a cozy atmosphere with dedicated spots for each pet. I stick to their feeding routine, ensuring they always have fresh water. Playtime and walks are non-negotiable for keeping them happy. Monitoring their health is a priority, including any needed medications. I strive to keep the living space clean and communicate closely with the owners about their pets' preferences and specific care instructions.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Covington is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 11,541 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Covington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
