“Stephanie is the best dog sitter we have ever had. She took care of our boy a few days after he had a medical emergency and was diligent about his new pill routine and sent us regular updates on how he was doing. We would not have felt comfortable leaving him with other dog sitters. Thank you for providing thoughtful care, Stephanie!”

“Morgan was excellent! Struck the right balance of keeping us up to date without too much information so we could enjoy our trip. She sent plenty of pictures and really made us feel like our pups had someone who loved them almost as much as us taking care of them. I would highly recommend Morgan to anyone who needs their pups or house watched she was fantastic! We will definitely book with her in the future. P.S. our pups can be a little bit of a pain and she handled everything with finesse and grace. I can't express enough how appreciative we are that she was able to deal with their little quirks!”
“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!”

Alexis was outstanding!!! She is very professional, knowledgeable; and my dogs LOVED her. They were immediately comfortable and happy with her. I absolutely recommend her! I had no concerns about my dogs, my home, or her care and experience. I would definitely have Alexis care for them and my home again, without hesitation. Loved her!!!
Kelly goes over and above taking care of our dogs, I get tons of updates and photos and videos so I can see how cared for and loved they are and I never have to worry about them when we’re gone. She even went out of her way to grab a package for our neighbor that was out of town when we asked if she could grab it for them, since we weren’t home ourselves to help. It’s such a good feeling to be out of town and know that our pets and our home are being cared for so well. We love Kelly and are so grateful to have found her!
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 :)
Isabella was amazing! She stepped in within just a couple of hours after my original sitter canceled last minute and stayed for two nights to watch my dog and cat. She kept me updated throughout her stay, sent me regular check-ins, and left my house spotless. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were well cared for. I would absolutely hire her again!
Annette is so great with our kitties, sends updates every day and totally goes above and beyond to make sure they're happy and healthy. I have a shy kitty that needs extra fluids, so she put a little water bowl under the bed and near her hangout spot so she could still get water even when she wanted to hide. That was so sweet and thoughtful! We really appreciate her watching our kitties!
Lily took great care of my animals while I was away! My chihuahua can be skittish & protective of her space, but Lily let her warm up to her and gave her the space she needed! Get several pictures of her and my dog sitting on the couch together and walking around. She followed my instructions well and arrived on time too! lily wasn’t afraid to ask any questions she had and was respectful to my home. Definitely plan on booking with her again in the future!

FAQs for House Sitting - Covington
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Covington on Rover is $64.2 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 7,974 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.
