“Alexis was great! I appreciated her willingness to help with additional tasks like watering the plants and bringing in mail. We loved receiving daily photos of our Coco while we were on vacation.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years, and I truly believe they’re more than pets—they’re family!

I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and give them the time, attention, and care they deserve. I love having the opportunity to spend my days with animals, whether that means taking a dog for a walk, playing in the yard, giving a cat some attention, or simply keeping your pet company while you’re away. I’m dependable, flexible, and happy to accommodate different schedules and routines whenever possible. Your pets’ happiness and comfort are my priority, and I’d love to become someone you can trust whenever they need care! 🐾❤️ I’m happy to care for your pets right in the comfort of their own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable.

“I have put my life on hold for a long time, but leaving my fur babies with anyone is always stressful. However, Elena is a breath of fresh air! She is truly amazing, and I felt at ease with her immediately. Elena is very communicative and sends cute photos to check in regularly. Marley recently lost her brother and has been feeling depressed. The bonus is that Elena has a 2-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle named Lava, whom we introduced to Marley during a meet and greet. They got along so well that Lava gets to babysit too! I hope this new friendship will help bring Marley out of her shell and support her through the grieving process. I cannot say enough great things about Elena. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog nanny who may even teach their fur baby a trick or two! Lava does backward handstands on command so definitely talk to her about dog training, which is a passion of hers.”
“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!”
“Thank you so much for taking such sweet care of our fur babies! Our little ChiChi was diagnosed with Addisons just the week before and was very ill. We came home to a very happy boy who had gained nearly all 9 pounds of his weight loss back! Thank you!!!”
“Eleanor watched our dog Scout for us at our house over a 4-day long weekend. Scout got walks and lots of attention! We felt good leaving Scout in Eleanor’s hands while we were away—she’s communicative and very responsive. And left everything very tidy! We’d have her back for sure!”
“Ashli was wonderful with our girl! We got frequent updates with pictures. We were very comfortable with Ashli staying in our home and can’t wait to have her back! Our dog definitely loved her!”
“Samantha was absolutely wonderful with our dogs. From the moment she arrived, she brought such calm, kind energy that both pups connected with her right away. She kept us updated throughout her stay with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She followed every routine we shared, paid close attention to their personalities and needs, and made sure they felt safe, loved, and comfortable the entire time. We came home to happy dogs and a tidy house — truly the best feeling. We are so grateful for her care and professionalism. Samantha is dependable, compassionate, and clearly loves what does. We will be booking her again.”
“Casey is amazing! She watched my kitten while I was out of town and took excellent care of her. Great communication. I felt at ease the entire time I was away. She left my home spotless. Highly recommend! It’s so nice to have someone you trust in your home with your pets.”

I’m currently 18 and attending Bellevue College while living at home, which gives me a stable and comfortable environment for caring for pets.

My schedule is consistent, and I can plan pet care around my classes. I’m currently looking for work, but I will always make sure I can fully commit to any pet-care booking I accept. I take safety and trust very seriously when caring for someone’s pets. I’m not currently able to offer boarding or pet care in my own home, but I’m happy to care for pets in their home. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, make sure pets have access to anything they need, and give them plenty of attention and supervision. I’ll also be respectful of your home and keep you updated while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Covington
Alexis is wonderful! She is so caring and attentive with Ella, always arrives on time, and follows our care instructions exactly. We feel completely comfortable knowing Ella is in such capable hands. We also appreciate her communication while she's here as well as all of her pictures of Ella! We couldn't recommend Alexis highly enough!
Sophia has been wonderful with our two dogs and confidently handles their different and specific needs. Our older dog requires a lot of extra hands-on care, including help getting outside, assistance with eating, and medications. Our other dog struggles with anxiety- he also requires medication, nuanced handling and extra patience. Sophia is reliable, attentive, capable, and easy to communicate with! All this gives us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs are in such caring and competent hands.
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.
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!
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 :)

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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters 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 sitter.
