About: As a pet parent myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I bring patience, affection, and attention to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog enjoys an energetic walk, a relaxed sniff around the neighborhood, or quiet companionship, I’ll follow their routine and help them feel comfortable and loved. You can also expect updates and photos so you feel connected while you’re away! My flexible schedule allows me to make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of individual attention. I’ll work with you to plan care around your pet’s usual routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I share my cozy one-bedroom apartment with my cat and bunny. There’s room for a visiting dog to relax, plus nearby parks for walks, fresh air, and exercise. To keep everyone comfortable and safe, I only welcome dogs suited to a home with cats and small animals, and I’ll keep my bunny securely separated from visiting dogs. I’ll discuss your dog’s temperament, routines, and needs with you before their stay.
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. I am very active & walk/run daily! I would love to bring your pup along to explore all the things. 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.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. My little chihuahua of 14 years, just passed this spring, and her brother in 2020. I still have a 10 year old tabby cat named Sam. I've loved on, bathed, groomed, cuddled and took my dogs on long walks for years. Let them come up and cuddle on the couch any time they wanted and taught them some basic training. I am currently not employed with an establishment. So I can be available any time for walks on weekday mornings and afternoons. I can pet sit on the weekends as well! I have a fenced yard that your dog can run around and play in. I can also crate them if that's something they should need/per your request!
About: I have two big dogs of my own so I have plenty of experience with larger breeds. I’ve had puppies and kittens and grew up with lots of pets! I also cat sit and dog sit on occasion for my family! I work Part-time so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I walk my own animals daily in addition to go to the gym. Stamina won’t be a problem no matter the energy level of your pet. I have two large dogs who run around constantly, I’m very good with clear commands and communication with them. I also take care of my families cats who can be temperamental which taught me a lot of patience when caring for animals as well.
About: Playful, caring, and adaptive, love spending time with dogs and animals while going on fun walks and adventures! Very loving and like to learn about other dogs personalities! I currently work part time and am in school, I would love to fit in walks and visits with your animals, please reach out to me to schedule! I love taking my dogs on walks and hikes, there excitement with it makes it so much more enjoyable while creating a great bond with the animal!
About: I've had animals for most of my life, and have had a lot of experience with dogs and senior care. Until more recent, we had 2 elderly labs (brother and sister) who lived to be 16 & 17 and a senior cat. They had multiple medications, health issues, as well as other restrictions. We currently have no animals besides a gecko. I'm available for boarding weekends and work from home Thursdays and Fridays so they would receive lots of love and attention! I am also available to go to your house. Our house is set up for dogs with a fenced in yard as well as a dog taj mahal if ever we needed to crate them :)
“Grace is amazing! She’s very kind, honest, hard working, on top of things and very trust worthy! She stayed all day for a few weeks with my girl because we couldn’t leave her alone. So grateful to her help! She’s a great pet sitter and an even greater person! :)”
About: I have had cats and dogs since I was 5 years old. As a teenager I lived on a farm taking care of horses, chickens, cats and dogs. I took care of my mom's dog Bandit when she traveled last year for 1 year. I also watch my sister's dogs. I care deeply for all animals; my husband would say I love cats and dogs more than humans. I also Farm Sit for a close friend. Caring for chickens, horses, mini horses, goats, a bunny, a cat and a dog. I also care for the wild birds around her property. I feed, fill the water bowls and if they get hurt, I tend to them. I work for a school district. My work hours are 8:30 to 4:00 pm. I would love a long evening walk after work and can dog sit over the weekend if notified 1 week before. I have a fully fenced backyard about quarter of an acre. I have 3 cats who are used to dogs as my sister has 2 and we have had Bandit here off and on since he was a puppy. All my cats are updated on vaccines and if your dog is not a cat person, I have a sperate downstairs the cats can hang out in while your fur baby is here. I would like to take a walk for 30 minutes to an hour a day. I am willing to walk-in all-weather conditions.
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!😊

“Jess has been wonderful taking care of our two big labs, Lando and Zion! Great communication and updates! Even when Zion tore up a vest (my fault as I left it too close to his crate), Jess was great and confirming his safety, communicating about the incident with us, and taking care of the issue! Definitely would book again!”
About: I've had pets all my life. I got my own cat when I moved out at eighteen and since moving to Arizona, I have a newfound appreciation from the bonds I've formed during my times volunteering with cats for local shelters. I'm currently working part-time in retail, but I have plenty of time outside of my work schedule to care for your pets, especially during summer! When volunteering at the shelter, I follow all instructions to care for the shelter's animals within my home and provide the love they need to trust and succeed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Covington
I cannot say enough good things about Jennifer! She was wonderfully patient, nurturing, and empathetic with my anxious kitty, sending constant photo and video updates that completely put my mind at ease. She took the time to build trust and got my cat to come out of his shell. Beyond being amazing with our pet, she was so thoughtful and caring toward our entire family. I will hire her again without question!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Covington is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 12,070 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Covington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
