“10/10, Alexis was kind, diligent, and calm with my anxious pups. Paid attention to detail, and I came home to happy dogs. My reactive girl clearly enjoyed her, and my jack Russell mix (normally a stressed Lil gal) was calm and happy. Can't recommend enough, will definitely book again.”
“Ariana is fantastic! I get so nervous leaving our pup but she took absolutely excellent care of our dog! She sent videos and pictures and followed the feeding instructions perfectly for our high maintenance girl. We will absolutely book with her again!”
“Makela was absolutely incredible to work with from the first meet and greet to our final farewell. Our kitties were given incredible care and company while we were away. Makela stayed in our home so that our kitties were not lonely and that made us comfortable to leave for our trip. Makela made sure to provide us pictures and regular updates throughout our trip to keep us in contact. I would highly recommend Makela!”
“Elena is such a sweetheart!!! My dog instantly fell in love with her and she was extremely fast at responding. Loved how she would send me lots of photos for updates and kept my dog busy with playing with him for a long time. I cannot wait to book her again she's amazing!!”
“Archie LOVES Lauren ◡̈ I had to go into the office all day and so I hired her to watch Archie while I was gone they played almost the whole time! She sent me pictures and videos throughout which made me feel at ease so I could focus on work! Archie is a high energy dog and she was able to handle him with ease! Showed up on time and understood everything she needed to know ◡̈ Highly recommend and will definitely use her in the future! ◡̈”
“Marta provides awesome updates and photos of our pup every day she comes for a dropin or to house sit. Marta came over before our last trip to learn how to prepare our picky dogs food. We highly recommend Marta if you need someone to care for your furry friends.”
“Here's a warm, polished review: Selena did an amazing job with Bella! She made sure Bella got plenty of exercise, and I could tell she genuinely cared for her while I was away for the evening. I came home to happy and relaxed pup! Selena was also an excellent communicator, keeping me updated and sending photos throughout the visit, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated her reliability and the care she showed Bella. I wouldn't hesitate to book with Selena again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“Sara was wonderful with our older dog. We were gone for 9 days and she went above and beyond. She gave us daily updates and photos as well as asking good questions when she was unsure. We would definitely recommend Sara for dog sitting. You will have peace of mind.”
“Stephanie is one of our dog's favorite people, and he has become more relaxed when we start packing to leave town since she started watching him. She's become like a third owner. It's clear that she loves our dog, and he loves her.”
“Jacob is an amazing sitter! He's very detailed and kept me updated on my kitty cat daily! I booked him for a week long house sitting and when I came back, the apt was spotless and my pet was relaxed and happy! I am very satisfied with Jacob's sitting and would totally book him again in the future! Thanks Jacob!”
“Janine did a great job watching our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands, and they were happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely trust Janine to watch them again and highly recommend her.”
“Alexis is the best ever! She is extremely responsible, communicative , and reliable. I feel that she cared for my Romi as if she were her own! I left for the weekend knowing my dog would have the best of care. 100% happy with this experience.”
“Kristen did an absolutely wonderful job house sitting with my 2 high-energy kittens and my grumpy senior cat over a 3-day period. She introduced herself gently and calmly to each cat during our meet and greet and listened to their queues, asked good questions, and was friendly and enthusiastic. When we were on our trip, she sent frequent pictures and updates, talked about when the cats were eating, and gave my old sick cat her medicine. I can tell from the pics that all of the cats liked Kristen and she was playing with the kittens, and the old cat was letting Kristen pet her and letting her know when she was hungry. I really can't recommend her enough, and would be happy to hire her again!”
About: I have cared for and trained dogs since I was a child. Most of my life has been shared with cherished companion animals. I have experience with all ages of pets and understand the needs of each phase of their lives. I have experience with various types of special needs animals and have adopted and cared for dogs who have had challenges being adopted due to reactivity, allergies, epilepsy, special medical needs including injections, and age. I am a working performer in the greater Seattle area. My days are often free, with most performances and rehearsals happening in the evenings. I’m generally a home body who prefers a quiet environment that facilitates practice, reading, and rehearsing. I’m a non drinker/substance user who doesn’t partake in any nightlife or party lifestyle. I try as much as possible to plan my day around the needs of the animals that I’m caring for, knowing how important a consistent schedule is for their wellbeing.
“Katie was seriously the best. 🥹 It was so clear how much she genuinely loved spending time with Indi, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated, gave Indi so much love and attention, and treated her like she was her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything. You can tell Katie truly loves animals, and we’re so grateful we found her. Looking forward to rebooking again in a heartbeat and honestly can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Katie! ❤️”
“Great experience having Ashli watch my dog and my cats. She was communicative, friendly took great care of them, and when I came home they were fed and happy - what more can you ask for? I’d be so happy to have her watch my pets again next time!”

Almost don’t want to tell you how amazing she was during our trip because I want to keep her all to ourselves. She went well above and beyond to get to know our dog and how we are training her beforehand and then treated her like a princess while we were gone. The house was well taken care of too. The fact she loves doing this shows.
Jayden was great with our golden retriever Fig. We just went through the loss of our senior golden, and Fig needed some extra love and care while we were away, she was very accommodating with that. She updated us daily and left our home clean and tidy! Would definitely rebook with Jayden
Jessica was absolutely amazing! She stayed overnight with our two elderly dogs (ages 12 and 17), and I truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Leaving senior dogs is never easy, but Jessica's excellent communication, attention to detail, and genuine care made me feel completely confident and at ease while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, and it was obvious that she treated our pups as if they were her own. Knowing our dogs were safe, comfortable, and well cared for gave us so much peace of mind. I truly can't thank Jessica enough for everything she did. If you're looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and incredibly attentive, I highly recommend her. We would happily book with her again!
Kelly is amazing, I feel like I can never come up with enough good things to say, because nothing is ever enough to describe our experiences. Our house is cleaner than when we left it, the consistent communication and pictures and videos have me feeling so good about leaving my home and dogs in her care. I never worry about anything. I used to feel guilty about taking trips but now I think my dogs are just as happy (maybe more) left in her care. The level of care she provides, is like nothing I’ve experienced and we’ve had a number of great people over the last 4 years, but she is by far, the best. I feel like Kelly really connects with people and especially with dogs. She’s really a wonderful person. We’ve done several sits and I am so thankful to have found someone I trust so much and genuinely feel connected to. We’re already planning our next trip.
We were happy to have Sara back for a second stay with our dog, this time for an extended weekend. Sara took great care of Sammy once again, enjoying lots of long walks together - Sammy’s favorite activity! Sara kept us updated each day, with pictures and info on their outings. Sara knew Sammy is picky about eating, especially while we’re away, and reached out to inquire about tips to entice Sammy to eat. Sara also took great care of our house, leaving everything in perfect order when we returned. We look forward to seeing Sara again for future trips!
We had a great experience with our dog sitter! Rachel is reliable, communicative, and clearly cared so much for our pups. We got regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were out of town. We came home to happy and well cared for doggos. She even watered our plants bc I completely forgot to do so before leaving. Highly recommend her services! We will be booking her again soon :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Covington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Covington on Rover is $66.6 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,891 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Covington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Covington walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Covington maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

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.
