When someone describes a chemical bond as being a covalent bond, it means that the atoms that are involved in the bond are evenly sharing electrons. Meaning that neither of the atoms has more pull on the shared electron because they have similar electronegativity.

Electronegativity is the ability of an atom to attract electrons towards itself in a covalent bond.

However, if you have one atom with a strong electronegativity and one with a weak one, you get a Polar Covalent bond this is where the shared electron is pulled toward the stronger atom, resulting in a slightly positive charge on one side of the bond, and a slightly negative charge at the other.
