1. A pet hammock for removable placement on armrests of a chair, comprising:
a first armrest cover configured to be removably attached to a first armrest of the chair including:
a first rigid core having a first non-slip portion on an underside of the first rigid core, the first non-slip portion configured to be in contact with and grip an upper side of the first armrest when the first armrest cover is removably attached to the first armrest of the chair;
a first padding layer coupled to a topside of the first rigid core and having a first mating portion on an upper side of the first padding layer configured to removably secure a covering to an upper side of the first armrest cover; and
a first plurality of attachment elements coupled to the first rigid core to removably attach the first rigid core and the first padding layer of the first armrest cover to the first armrest; and
a second armrest cover configured to be removably attached to a second armrest of the chair including:
a second rigid core having a second non-slip portion on an underside of the second rigid core, the second non-slip portion configured to be in contact with and grip an upper side of the second armrest when the second armrest cover is removably attached to the second armrest of the chair, where the first and second non-slip portions prevent inward rotation of the covering when the first and second armrest covers are removably attached to the first and second armrests and downward force is applied to the covering;
a second padding layer coupled to a topside of the second rigid core and having a second mating portion on an upper side of the second padding layer configured to removably secure the covering to an upper side of the second armrest cover; and
a second plurality of attachment elements coupled to the second rigid core to removably attach the second rigid core and the second padding layer of the second armrest cover to the second armrest,
where the first and second rigid cores have sufficient rigidity to support a pet placed on the covering when removably attached to the first and second armrest covers in a hammock configuration.
