“Very dependable and committed to her task. Completed the week with zero issues. Passionate about what she does and the critters she takes care of. Didn't miss a beat!! Would and will hire Marie again and again!!”
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 experienced with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, and I love giving each dog the attention, love, exercise, and companionship they need. When your pup is in my care, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be treated like one of my own. I’m dependable, patient, and attentive, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply some extra companionship, I’m happy to provide personalized care based on their routine and needs. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for! 🐾❤️ Pet sitting is a great fit for my lifestyle because I have a flexible schedule and open availability. 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 understand that keeping their normal routine can make a big difference, especially when you’re away. With my flexible schedule and open availability, I can provide the attention and care your pets need while you’re gone. I’ll follow their usual feeding, walking, playtime, medication, and bedtime routines, while also giving them plenty of love and companionship. My goal is to make your time away easier by keeping your pets happy, comfortable, and cared for in the place they know best. 🐾❤️
“Chelsea is incredibly communicative and attentive! I booked her for 2 days to take care of my special needs cat who cannot walk. Chelsea was amazing at taking care of her and sending me updates! I highly recommend her and absolutely would book again :)”
“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!”
“MJ was fantastic with our three dogs. She went above and beyond with their care. She was also very flexible and accommodating when I scheduled the times of the visits incorrectly. The dogs were happy and safe! She handled three dogs, 47 - 60 lbs with care and love. She treated our property with professionalism. This was an emergency trip with little lead time, Marta stepped up and fit us into her schedule without complaint and was exceptional. I can’t thank her enough.”
“I needed a same-day drop in, and Courtney responded within a minute of my request! She asked clarifying questions before the visit and took lots of pictures. I would definitely ask Courtney to look in on my pets again.”
“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!”
“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! :)”
“Courtney was very communicative and flexible while checking in on my kitty Willow! She took pictures and shared the details of each of her visits. I really felt like Willow was in good hands. Thank you!”
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've taken care of my own pets since I was 8. I've had tons of experience watching all sorts of breeds of dogs, for friends and family over the years. I'm currently in my Senior Year of high school and I am doing Running Start at Green River College. I'm available between 1:30-5:30pm and 8:30-10:00 pm on Monday Wednesday and Thursday. On Tuesdays I'm available between 1:30-10:00pm. On Fridays I'm available from 8:00am-10:00pm. And on the weekend I'm available quite a bit it just depends on when I have soccer games. I'm also available to do night sitting any day of the week. I care for and feed my family's two dogs on a daily basis. And I give them lots of pets and attention. I also take them on walks or play with them out in our yard on a daily basis.
“Amanda was great with our cat, she did all the essentials, as well as went the extra mile to give her attention and play time. I’m confident that I can trust her next time we leave town for vacation. ?”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our dogs. From the moment we met, it was clear they had a natural connection with animals. She is gentle, attentive, and incredibly patient. Will definitely book again with Liz :)”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for all animals — from cats and dogs to bunnies, chickens, and goats. If I could live on a farm or animal sanctuary surrounded by fur and feathered friends, I’d do it in a heartbeat. Having worked in multiple animal hospitals and clinics, I’ve developed strong skills in animal care, patience, and compassion. Caring for animals isn’t just what I do — it’s who I am. have some health challenges that limit me from working a typical job, but spending time with animals isn’t work for me—it’s pure joy. This is playtime for both of us, and I’m grateful for every moment I get to share with these sweet and special souls. I always make sure to leave things just as they were—or even better! I take great care of the animals I look after, making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or a little baby talk (because who can resist?), your pets will always receive the same love and attention you’d give them yourself. Animals are such sweet and special souls, and when I’m with them, they have my full attention.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Covington
We really appreciated Jennifer’s care and diligence on taking care of our cats, our fish, and our home! She kept us in the loop daily with photos and commentary about the kitties and fish which really put us at ease. We always feel more at ease knowing she is there to get the animals some exercise and love while also checking in on everything. Thank you Jennifer!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Covington is $28 per visit as of October 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 October 2026, there are 12,072 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 .
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.
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 .
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.
