It doesn’t freeze here too often, but when it’s going to we’ll go outside and set our faucets to drip to prevent freezing. I just have to remember to do this, and I worry that I’ll forget. Do those faucet covers work? Any other options?

It really depends on where you live (as you can tell from the comments). In CO it’s code to have frost free shutoffs so everyone has them. We do nothing since the shutoff is 12”+ inside and usually surrounded by insulation. As long as the washers are in good condition and not dripping you’re good to go. If they are they make kits to replace them. Pretty simple process.
