Hi Pam, in order to help you I will agree with previous users that we need to know if you are talking about inside or outside. If your are talking about inside then you simply need to remove your doorbell and then patch a hole where you wanna cover it and If you are talking about outside then simply use a silicon cover or a plastic one. There are plenty of them over the internet selling. I had the same problem as you a couple of weeks ago when I bought a new doorbell from https://www.1800doorbell.com/driveway-alarms/ and did research and found out a solution for me and also helped you as well. Hope my post was helpful for you and stay safe!

Is this for outside or the inside bell?
