“Marie took excellent care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout. It was clear our cats were happy and well cared for. We would gladly use her services again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Alexis, is amazing! Always on time, goes above and beyond, and our pets absolutely love her. She even sends the cutest photos that make our day. Reliable, caring, and truly wonderful — we couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Thank you, Kendall, for such a great care of my dog! She was caring, reliable, and treated our dog like family. She kept us updated, followed all of our instructions, and made sure our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our dog was in such good hands. We highly recommend Kendall and would definitely use her service again!”
“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.”
“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!”
“We booked Raeven for almost 2 weeks to come drop in 2x/day and take care of our cat while we were out of town, she did such a great job with our shy kitty that is codependent. We’ll definitely book her again - thank you so much Raeven!!”
“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!”
“Chelsea filled a very last minute invite to care for our sweet kitty. Our kitty warmed up to her so quickly and we had no doubt she would be in great hands. Chelsea is kind, reliable, consistent and we looked forward to her daily updates and pictures, which were always so fun to see.”
“Casey is so reliable and I just really enjoy working with her. My dog Freddy absolutely loves her. Best dog walker we've ever had by far and I hope to work with her long term.”
“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!”
“Lora was so sweet and did a great job of keeping me in the loop and sending photos of my cats while I was out of town! It made me feel so much better knowing they were well taken care of.”
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.
“As always, Isabel did a great job taking care of Chip and Theo. She was available very last minute which took a lot of stress off me for such a late request. I will continue to book her in the future.”
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!
“Ariana is a cat whisperer. Our Lacie is not social with people she doesn’t know, but she loved Ariana. I felt comfortable knowing she was well cared for. Ariana sent fun videos that made me smile. Thank you so much for everything!”
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.
“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: People choose me to watch their pets because of my absolute reliability and proactive communication. You will never have to wonder how your pet is doing because I send detailed updates and photos after every check-in! Additionally, I treat your home with the utmost respect, ensuring it is secure, clean, and welcoming for your return. I’m home for the summer until September. I currently don’t have a summer job, so my availability is very open. Shoot me a message and we’ll fit it into my schedule! I usually pet sit for my sister. When I do, I ensure the safety and comfort of her dogs by taking them outside to go potty frequently, feeding them twice a day, playing with them, and cuddling them to aid their separation anxiety. I send detailed updates and photos to her and let her FaceTime them upon request :-)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Covington
Marie did eight nights of drop-in visits for our two cats and was fantastic. She kept us updated the whole time, stayed on top of the litter boxes, and even grabbed packages off the porch we'd totally forgotten were coming. Came home to two happy cats and zero surprises — we'll book her again next time we travel.
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.
