About: I’m an experienced dog walker and pet sitter with a history of repeat and recurring clients. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and care needs through regular walks, drop-ins, and extended house sitting. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own — with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, cuddles, and photo updates along the way! I’m currently accepting new recurring weekday walking and drop-in clients. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate weekday walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the week. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, especially when their owners are working or traveling. My goal is to become someone both you and your pet know, trust, and feel completely comfortable with. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any special needs. I’m attentive to each pet’s behavior and comfort level and will never force an interaction they’re uncomfortable with. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both their pet and their space with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
About: We’ve grown up loving dogs since our childhood. We’ve taken care of our own pack for the past 14+ years. We love cuddle time, playing fetch and going out on walks with our dogs. My husband works from home. Your pup will not be left alone while under our care. I work M-F, get home around 5p and get the evenings to dedicate to the pups. Daily walks can be fit into our schedule, either am or on We have a fenced dog proof backyard with plenty of space to play or relax. 2 friendly and cuddly chihuahuas + a loving friendly Husky will make sure your pup feels at home.
“Jennifer is exceptional! She does a wonderful job of taking care of our three cats. They adore her! And she has wonderful patience for our little scaredy cat who hangs out under our bed while we are out of town. He slinks over to the edge just to get Jennifer pets. She’s perfect for the big variety of personalities our three cats bring to the table.”
About: Your small dog wont just be watched - they'll be welcomed into a real home with teens, another dog, and a calm old cat who has seen it all. Your baby will be part of our normal household life... car pools, walks & lots of snuggles. As a stay-at-home mom to two teens, a Maltese poodle, and a cuddly old cat, pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. Your dog will be treated like part of the family — coming along on errands, joining us for walks, and even tagging along while I shuttle my teens to their activities. They’ll settle right in as one of our own. My home has a fully fenced yard, so dogs have safe space to play and roam. I have a friendly Maltese poodle who’s used to new company (she even goes to work with her dad a couple days a week), and an unfazed old tomcat who’s seen it all and takes new dogs in stride.
“Marie did an excellent job pet sitting our cats. The messages and photos she sent helped us know our pets were in great care. I highly recommend Marie and will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Kayla is absolutely amazing! She came over before her drop in to meet our pups and it was a great experience. This was our first time using Rover and one of our boys is VERY shy and timid with new people. Kayla did a drop in to take them potty during a long day while we were away. She took such great care of them, followed all of our detailed instructions perfectly and left us as ease knowing our boys were in good hands. We would refer Kayla to anyone looking for care in the area!”
“Kendall was great taking care of our 2 cats for the week while we were on vacation. She was very attentive and communicated well with us while we were gone. I will definitely use her again!”
“Ariana is amazing! The Boyz love her. She always takes such good care of them. Ariana always sends me updates with pictures. She's very communicative so if we have any concerns or questions she's always quick to answer. As long as the Boyz are happy and they are life is good!”
“Diana did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Ginger! She's super reliable, friendly, responsive, and goes the extra mile to make sure your pet is happy and safe under her supervision. We couldn't be happier with the service and highly recommend Diana to anyone who needs someone to help with their pet while they're out of town.”
About: I have grown up with animals my entire life. Mostly dogs but I have also had cats, guinea pigs, fish, rabbits, and various other small animals. I currently have two wonderful and very active dogs. River is female Catahoula mix with nonstop energy and Atlas is a male Cane Corso mix that steals the heart of anyone he comes in contact with. In addition to taking care of my personal pets I have cared for the pets of friends, family, and neighbors ever since I was young. I have experience with dogs and cats of all sizes and all stages of life from puppy/kitten to senior! I am a stay at home mom. I am married with 2 wonderful kids ages 10 and 7. I have an active household who love sports and the outdoors. I feel blessed to be a stay at home mom as it gives me the flexibility to be home to spend time with my children and fur babies. I have a fully fenced yard and my two dogs love to play ball or just lounge in the sun. I also love to go to the dog park and let my dogs run and socialize. I keep a pretty active lifestyle and my dogs go for a run several times a week and they love hikes when schedules allow!
“Kelly came through for us again!! We were in a real pinch and needed someone quickly and Kelly was so accommodating! We have used her in the past and will continue to call on her in the future! Thank you!”

“Amazing sitter! It was our first time spending time away from our 2 cats. Mj made this experience so smooth and easy for us. Our cats were in such good hands. Mj made sure she met their special needs and followed their very specific food instructions. She was so gentle and caring with them. She respected our property, left everything clean and in place. She is so good at communicating, she let us know about every detail. She is also a great observant when it comes to heir behaviours as well. Im so happy that we found her. Will be working with her again! Thank you MJ!”
About: I have experience working on this app since around 2017 in the Seattle metro area. I love animals of all kind and have experience with extra large to extra small. I am currently available full time. This means I will stop accepting requests at 40 hours per week. My weekends and weekdays are open for pet care. I will gladly follow all instructions left to keep your fur baby satisfied and safe while you are away during our house sittings and/or visits.
About: I have been taking care of all different types of pets since I was very young. I adore animals and treat them as my children! I work nights, usually Thursday - Monday. If boarding at my house, I will make sure your pet is well taken care of. I will also make sure they are comfortable before I leave for work. If you would like me to drop by your house to check in on your pets, I can do that before and after work, and on my days off. I only board one household at a time, so your pet gets my full attention in a calm, home-style environment. I have an unfenced yard, so the pets will be kept inside and walked outside on a leash. I currently own 2 cats that are very friendly and will enjoy the company. However, I can always separate them if personalities clash. If you would like a drop in at your house, we can figure out the timing and details. I love animals and will treat your pet as my own!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Covington
Marie has done a fantastic job caring for our kitties - she’s very detailed in her reports and truly enjoys spending time with your pets while getting to know them. She had no problem administering medications and monitoring health conditions which was much appreciated while we were away!
Jennifer is amazing as always! We really appreciate how she makes sure our kitties get a balanced visit with lots of love as well as exercise. She is awesome at sending updates and the kitties always look great after we get back from a trip thanks to her care.
Kacey is absolutely wonderful! She took great care of Bruno while I was away and also made sure the outdoor neighborhood kitties were fed. Her updates and photos after each visit gave me such peace of mind, and I came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty. Kacey is reliable, thoughtful, and always goes the extra mile. I truly appreciate knowing I can leave town and not have to worry about a thing. Thank you again, Kacey!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Covington on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 12,253 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Covington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Covington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Covington. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
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.
