“Michelle is amazing! She is so wonderful with our energetic (and strong) fur baby Pitbull Luna. Luna is so much happier since doing regular walks with Michelle. Great communication, positive attitude and goes above and beyond showing us and Luna how much she cares. Michelle has also been great and flex on using a few extra minutes to take our 14 year old pit on a walk around the cul de sac so he also feels included. So glad we found Michelle and our fur babies are over the moon.”
“Sarah was excellent! She accepted my request last minute and accommodated changes in plans. She kept me up to date before and after visits. Sent pictures and tracks from walks. She understood the needs of my aging but active border collie and kept her active and engaged while I was away for the weekend. She made sure that my dog was fed left the lights and music on for her when she left. She met and exceeded expectations. Would highly recommend. We look forward to Sarah visiting again!”
“My mom had surgery and needed a temporary dog walker. Isabella took Jack, her miniature poodle on 30 minute walks over the last two weeks. We loved the pictures she took on the walks! And my Mom really liked Isabella. Friendly, punctual and Jack had a good time. Thank you Isabella! We’ll call you again if there is a need.”
“What a blessing to find our MJ!! Thank you!! 🙏 Gilbert and I are so happy to have you. How amazing it is to have peace of mind when traveling that my boy is loved and well taken care of. I cannot thank you enough!! Gilbert said “I love you!” 😘❤️🥰🥰🥰”
“Meghan does a great job walking my 2 large breed dogs! She always sends pictures and updates, and I can tell they are having a good time. She is flexible and willing to pick up extra days when they come up or change the time of a walk if needed. I will definitely be booking Meghan again!”
About: Hi there! I’m Jessi, and I truly believe life is better with animals. I’ve loved and cared for pets of all kinds, and that love runs deep in my family too — I have four amazing kids who share the same passion for animals. My home is full of energy, kindness, and plenty of love to go around. I would be honored to provide a safe, cozy, and caring space where your pet can feel right at home. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, playtime in the yard, or simply a quiet spot to rest, your furry friend will be treated like one of my own. I know how important peace of mind is, so while YOU take time to rest, recharge, or travel, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and loved. Your pet will always be cared for with me! I will keep them company, whether that means playtime, snuggles, or simply providing a calm presence. This is a loving, safe, smoke-free home — a trusted place where your pet can relax, play, and feel comfortable. Your pet will love our home, and I’ll love having them here.
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: Some things that I've done with all my own dogs as well as when dog sitting/walking for family friends would be; Walking, food/water, playing, potty time, and lots of petting. My own dogs (2 past, 1 present): -My first dog was a beautiful golden retriever named Bo. I taught him some basic commands with sign language when I was little. He taught me a lot about how to act and move around dogs, as well as how sweet they can be. -My second dog was my giant baby, a half english mastiff, half short-haired saint bernard named Scar (aka bunny, aka goober). I held him when he was the size of a potato, and then continued to do so when he grew to 150 lbs. I taught him how to stop, cross the street with me, and slow, all with verbal commands. -My third dog is a half black lab, half golden retriever, full fluffy goofball named Buddy. He loves to join any conversations going on with his barks. His smarts aren't always there, but his heart absolutely is. I'm at home most of the time and with a pretty open schedule. I'll have tons of time to make sure pets are well cared for and happy. My own dog is on the older side, but has plenty of energy to spare and share with your four legged family. I have a decently sized fenced in backyard that's great for all sized dogs to get their energy out.
About: Your four legged BFF(s) will be treated like family when I'm caring for them. I'm here for the scritches, belly rubs, play time, exercise (and whatever else your dog or cat needs). You will get peace of mind knowing your pet will be loved on and attended to while you're away. It's important to me that your furry friend is 100% comfortable, has fun and is happy. I will enforce healthy rules and boundaries and of course lots of snacks and praise for good behavior. I live in an active household with a dog and two cats. We get outdoors as much as we can for hiking, adventures and exercise. I believe that patience, compassion, exercise and strong leadership are key to maintaining healthy, happy, well socialized companions. There is no such thing as a "bad dog" and there is always room for growth and learning opportunities. I have a fenced yard with one friendly dog. I am in between jobs with a flexible schedule. My days are open for adventures or watching your pup at home or dropping in to your place for a visit/play session. I have one friendly senior dog. I can easily accommodate crate training or can keep your dog separate from my dog if preferred. In your home, I will try to be consistent in following your routine as much as possible if preferred. I will tailor my visits/walks to you and your pet's specific needs and preferences.
About: I have always grown up with animals from having 3 bunnies to having 3 dogs🐾. I have always loved animals and have a passion for taking care or them! I have been taken care and walking family and friends dogs for years from taking care of neighbors cats many times to walking dogs 5 times a week. I make sure that your furry friend feels comfortable, safe, and loved😊. I’m currently a full time college student looking for a job. I have been walking a Shiba Inu 5 days a week from Saturday-Wednesday for around 2 years already, but I am available to walk dogs and pet sit Monday through Saturday. I make sure your pets feel safe and cared for in their environment. I also make sure they are comfortable and relaxed and have a great time! I make sure to give them lots of love and make special memories for them!😊
“May was able to help out on short notice which was much appreciated. She was promot picking up Hulu for his walk and always sent update pics. We would definitely use May again.”
“Hope is my go to person and first choice at Rover. She was a great deal of help at the last minute and wonderful with my dog. My dog let her walk her on our first meeting and has responded positively towards Hope. Hope is kind, good at handling my dog, asks questions and spent extra time with my dog. Definitely worth hiring!”
“Lily was fantastic with our two pups! She was on time, communicated clearly and was very reliable! She was able to help us out last minute in a time we really needed it. We will continue to use her in the future!”
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 cared for dogs my entire life, ranging in size and breed. My family has bred and raised multiple types of dogs, such as Boston Terriers, Boxers, St. Bernard’s, German Shepherds, Beagles, and Chihuahuas. I have experience working in a vet clinic and am familiar with a wide range of care. I love animals and am able to provide loving and informed care for any dog. I am a trustworthy and reliable caretaker and actively enjoy being with any animal. Both my dogs are reactive and I am experienced in how to deal with that during walks as well. I am a stay at home mom looking for a way to get out and exercise more! Now that the kids are in school, my days are much more open and I’m finding myself needing more to occupy my time. We have two dogs, an elderly Boxer and a German Shepherd/Husky mix. They have unlimited access to outdoors and have many toys (though our shepherds prefers chewing rocks). They are up to date on all vaccines and are very healthy. I would take care of any pet with the same care as my own!
“Elsker and Kody were happy to meet Tania and Cristian. Kody took a lot of liking to Cristian! Overall it was a positive meet and greet and they are both looking forward to the walk around the school!”
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I currently share my home with two sweet cats, one of whom requires daily insulin—so I’m comfortable with specialized care, including giving injections and managing feline diabetes. I’ve been the go-to sitter for friends and family for decades, providing everything from daily walks and meals to snuggles and playtime. Whether your pup needs a brisk walk or your kitty needs a calm presence while you’re away, I’ll treat them like my own. My approach is calm, caring, and always based on what your pet needs to feel safe and loved. I’d love to meet your furry family member and be someone you can trust while you’re away! As someone who works from home, I have the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care on your animal’s schedule—not mine. Whether it’s a morning visit, mid-day medication, or evening check-in, I can adapt to what your animal needs. My remote work lifestyle allows me to be present, responsive, and consistent—ensuring your furry friend gets the care and companionship they deserve while you're away. When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize maintaining their routine and creating a calm, familiar experience while you're away. I follow your instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication (including insulin injections), litter box cleaning, walks, or playtime. For cats, I make sure they have a peaceful space, clean litter, and the gentle companionship they need. For dogs, I provide regular walks, exercise, and plenty of affection to keep them happy and relaxed. I respect your home, keep things tidy, and provide regular updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands. With a flexible work-from-home schedule, I’m able to offer dependable, responsive care tailored to your pet’s needs.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Covington
Sophia is fantastic! We usually rotate between two dog walkers in case one has something come up. We recently needed help walking our dog for 2 weeks, so we split the time between our two walkers, and our other walker fell through last minute. Sophia graciously took on the additional week of walks with short notice, which really helped us out. She was on time, adjusted the walks based on our dog's needs (too hot, too rainy, etc.), kept us updated with cute pictures, and communicated promptly. We will definitely be booking with Sophia again!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Covington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
walkers on Rover set their own , 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 walker.
