“My cat, Foster, is very needy and any little thing upsets him so I decided to schedule a house sitter rather than drop-in visits. Malika was great, sending pictures and making sure both Foster and I were okay. :-) I will be sure to reach out to her again when I travel!”


“Laura did a great job caring for our dogs and home while we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures with the dogs snuggled on her lap and playing fetch - their two favorite things. Sometimes when we get home from a trip the dogs seem a bit out of sorts, but not this time at all. We will reach out to Laura next time we go out of town!”

“Hannah has been great to watch our dog multiple times when we are out of town. She is reliable with good communication throughout the stay. We will continue to reach out to her!”

“Alexa was amazing with my fur babies. Very communicative and plenty of pics sent of my well cared for pets! Came home to very happy babies. Will definitely book again and recommend 100%”

About: I’m very familiar with dogs because I grew up caring for them. I had them all throughout my childhood . I also worked in a dog daycare for a year with various breeds, sizes, and ages of dogs. I really enjoy being around dogs that enjoy being around me . I have availability anytime. Whatever time you need for me to be there for your pets you can rely on me to be there ! My dog is very spoiled and I give her so much love everyday. I walk and play with her often and give her lots of cuddles. I will treat my clients pets like theyre mine !

“We had a great experience with Lauren! She was very communicative starting from our meet and greet, and throughout the stay. We also got lots of pictures and updates, which we really appreciated. She was very attentive to Lola and Callie and made sure to let us know right away when Lola had a little upset stomach. We felt very comfortable knowing they were in her care and came home to happy pets. We’d definitely be happy to have her care for them again!”

“This was our first time using Brittney we needed a dog sitter on short notice. We had two meet and greets and felt very comfortable with her. While we were away, she did a great job taking care of all three dogs sending us updates and photos. The dog seemed to enjoy having her around and seemed to be very comfortable with her. We will definitely be using Brittney in the future.”

“This is the first time we left our dog with anyone except for family and it felt great seeing how well taken care she was by Amanda. We loved our dog getting to stay in her own environment and we really appreciated the great communication Amanda had with us.”

“Debbie and Jeff were so amazing!! They took such great care of our boy, even when he got an unexpected upset tummy! Thank you both for taking suck great care of our boy and for putting us at ease the weekend of our wedding. We appreciate you guys so much!”


About: ➡️ I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, growing up with as many as 10 cats at once! As an adult, I’ve had three dogs who were part of our family from puppyhood through their senior years, so I’m comfortable caring for pets at every stage of life. ➡️ I’ve also dog-sat for family members’ dogs many times over the years, always free of charge…perks of being family! ➡️ My partner has also been around dogs and cats for many years, so caring for animals is something we both enjoy. ➡️ We’re also home to an adorable and super-friendly Chinese hamster named Kenji, who would love to meet your furry friends! Kenji is both very laid-back and curious, depending on the time of day. ➡️ I’m home the vast majority of the week and readily available to give your pet plenty of attention. I share custody of my children, so depending on the week, your pet may have quiet one-on-one time with us or enjoy the company of my kids, who will be happy to help give your animals plenty of love and attention. ➡️ We have a one-acre grassy field directly behind our home that provides plenty of space for walks and potty breaks, and our community also has its own fenced-in dog park. We also love hiking and would be thrilled to take your pup along for an adventure! ➡️ We no longer have dogs or cats of our own as they have all crossed over the rainbow bridge, so your pet will receive lots of personalized, one-on-one attention. We’d love the opportunity to give your furry family member a safe, loving, and comfortable home away from home! ⭐️ I have a consistent and very flexible schedule that allows me to be home and available for pets throughout most of the week. My work schedule is approximately four hours on Mondays and Wednesdays during the school year. Aside from those hours, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive, reliable care. ⭐️ I also share custody of my three children as mentioned, and our household schedule is predictable. That will allow me to plan around each pet’s individual needs. Some weeks are quieter and other weeks your pet will have the added company of my kids, depending on the dates of your booking. ⭐️ With my flexible availability, I’m happy to follow your pet’s established routines to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. ⭐️ I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can receive plenty of individual attention and supervision. Since we do not currently have dogs or cats of our own, your pet can enjoy one-on-one care without having to share the space with other animals. ⭐️ Your pet will be free to roam throughout the common areas of our home and will be welcome in bedrooms with supervision, since those areas have carpeted flooring. If you prefer your pet to be crated at any point, I’m happy to follow your instructions. Depending on the size of your pet, you may need to provide an appropriately sized crate. ⭐️ For outdoor time, I use a leash and collar provided by you and provide walks and potty breaks in the very large grassy area directly behind our home. Our community also has a fenced dog park for appropriate dogs who enjoy more space to play. ⭐️ I’m happy to follow your pet’s established routines and any specific instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, and exercise needs. Since no two pets are exactly alike, I want to make sure your pet’s individual personality, needs, and routines are respected throughout their stay. I will always prioritize safe handling and make sure your pet is secure, comfortable, and well cared for.
“Abby was fantastic. She did an extended stay and took care of our babies. She was very consistent with her updates and left the house spotless. I know that must have been hard with all the mud! We are rebooking her ASAP!”

About: grew up around cats and dogs my whole life! big and small dogs from rottweilers to shih tzus! love taking dogs for a walk and spending time outside i work mon-fri until 4 pm! after that i’m free in the evenings! and free on the weekends. i get an hour lunch so if the house is nearby i don’t mind swinging by on lunch to let a dog out! I won’t be hosting any pets but when I care for pets at friend’s houses i prefer to keep the dogs on their leash if we step out of the fenced in yard for anything. i like to give the dogs time to really walk and sniff and stretch their legs after being indoors all day. i’m never in a rush walking the dogs, i like to let them lead the way
“Kari and Clint did great great job taking care of our hens and dog and humming birds!!! Happy and thankful that they care for our dog.. He can be a handful! Kari was very flexible as our travels brought us home on overnight flight very very early in the morning the day after our booking. She cleaned our home before she left. We have peace of mind when she’s watching our pets. Five stars !!!!”

About: I am truly fascinated about animals of all kinds, especially the “weird” ones! Growing up in North Carolina, I naturally had a passion for the outdoors, and the creatures who inhabit it. I quickly learned to have respect for these animals and have always wanted to learn more. I have years of personal experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, geckos, chickens, and freshwater fish, but I am comfortable with many other species as I also have experience as an exotic veterinary assistant. I will always listen to every comment or concern, and make sure I am 100% available for all of your animal’s needs! I will always personally conduct a “history” with you, about your pet(s) before any booking! I feel like it is important to note certain information so I can look for any changes during our time together. I always log eating, drinking, defecation, and behaviors so I can ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible! Lastly, I understand that I am being entrusted with your animal’s care, and I take that very seriously. If there is ever a slight cause for concern, you will be contacted immediately! Typical Routines: maintaining food and water schedule as requested (plus cleaning food/water dishes daily), following scheduled potty breaks as directed, any enrichment/playtime/exercise activities, refreshing bedding, brushing/grooming, etc. Please refer to my calendar for more details about scheduling.I look forward to working with you and your pet(s)! I always approach animals with care and ease. I am never forceful or use a loud voice, and try to be as attentive to their needs as possible!
“Natalie was absolutely fantastic with Lola and Callie. We have pretty detailed care routines, especially with Lola’s supplements and Callie’s feeding, and Natalie handled everything incredibly well. We actually had a miscommunication on our end before leaving and didn’t have everything portioned and prepared the way we intended, and she didn’t miss a beat, she figured out Lola’s supplement routine, used the food scale for Callie’s meals, and made sure everything was done correctly. She was also incredibly attentive throughout the stay. She noticed small things like a change in the indicator light on our Litter-Robot and checked in rather than just ignoring it, and she was very conscientious about our home, locking doors and being careful with the garage when coming and going since we have a cat who likes to sneak out. Communication was great, and we came home to happy pets and everything exactly as it should be. We felt completely comfortable having Natalie care for our pets and home and would absolutely trust her to stay with them again. Highly recommend!”

“We can't say enough wonderful things about Miranda and the exceptional care she provided for both our home and our senior cat. From the very start, her professionalism, warmth, and dedication were apparent. Miranda kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, giving us total peace of mind while we were away. Beyond her attentive care, she left our home in immaculate condition. We wholeheartedly recommend Miranda to anyone looking for a trustworthy, thoughtful, and reliable house and pet sitter. She exceeded all expectations, and we will absolutely be reaching out to her for future stays!”

“Heather was awesome with our lab, Matilda. We felt totally comfortable with her and this made our overnight more enjoyable. Heather was patient with Matilda and went the extra mile when Tilds was being stubborn. We will definitely book Heather again and recommend her highly.”

Aislyn did a great job caring for Marley while I was away for the weekend. Before the stay, she came over to meet us, learn Marley’s routine, and go over all of my expectations. She stayed at my house, let Marley out several times, followed her normal routine, and made sure she was not left alone for long periods. She also sent pictures and kept in constant communication throughout the weekend. Although she wasn’t responsible for caring for my cats, she still took the time to interact with them. Marley felt very comfortable around her, and I returned to a clean home with no messes. I would definitely trust Aislyn to care for Marley again and would highly recommend her to others

Airyana and Michelle were incredible. We were nervous leaving our girls at home while we went on vacation (rather than boarding them), but it worked out perfectly. Airyana bonded with our girls and did a great job giving one of them her medications 2x's a day (not an easy feat). Communication between us was solid - there was total transparency and zero concerns in this area. We felt comfortable with Airyana staying at our house over night and she did a great job keeping the house tidy, watering my outdoor plants, and getting our mail. We would 100% book again! Kudos to mom, Michelle, too, who helped and communicated with me if there were ever any questions or concerns.

The average cost of House Sitting in Cumberland is $54 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $60 per night.

As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cumberland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cumberland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cumberland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
