Sarah is understanding and engaging with my kids. She asked questions if she wasn't sure about a situation which I appreciate very much. I would recommend her to take care of your pet as she takes care of mine.

First time using a sitter that wasn't family. My cats are generally very skittish. I figured she'd never see either one. Turns out she got them cat whispering skills and she handled them both. Highly recommend and will use again if she wants to.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I'm available typically after 3pm. I have a day job but I am very passionate about animals and would like to spend time with the animals in my evenings. I give them personal attention as if they were my own. I give them LOVE. I pay attention to the needs and details of each individual animal. I will stick to the plan me and the parent come with for their pet. Preparing ahead of time for a longer stay with lots of exercise I care for my clients pets as if they were my own. We would go out to parks and stop for a treat on our way home. Animals are like children they just need plenty of love.

About: I’ve worked at a pet boarding and grooming facility for the last 2 years, and have done volunteering and sitting previously. I’ve cared for many dogs ranging from 8 weeks to in their late senior years. I have experience with disabled dogs as well as administering medication by mouth. I’m currently working and in school part time, so I have some extra time throughout the week and weekends! I am available any weekday except Wednesdays and Fridays. When I’m not in school or working, I would love to care for your pup! I would follow the feeding instructions, making sure your pup has food and water at all necessary times. I would make sure their space is clean, and that they are let out to use the bathroom periodically. To ensure that your pup is safe and comfortable I would love to know their typical habits and behaviors around your home.

About: Hello, I've taken care of kitties for a number of years. I myself use my pets as emotional support animals so I know you baby is important to you and defiantly needs to be cared for with lots of love and is part of the family! Your animal friend is in good hands when I care for them. <3 I do not currently work , but my availability is limited to Friday afternoons through Sunday evenings at the moment. I live in two bedroom duplex so I am unable to offer boarding in my own home. My cats have free range eating. In a client's home, I would follow whatever directions I am given and check on you pet as needed for walks or to make sure they are feed, hydrated or let out (on a leash of course) to do their business when needed.

About: Hi! I’m Ashley, a lifelong animal lover with over 11 years of professional animal welfare and rescue experience. Cats are a huge part of my life, but I also have experience caring for dogs and understand how to read their body language, recognize stress, and earn their trust. My background includes animal sheltering and adoption, fostering, TNR, socializing shy and fearful animals, caring for kittens and puppies, and working with pets with medical and special needs. I’m also the founder of a nonprofit cat rescue and TNR organization, so I’ve cared for just about every feline personality, from confident attention-seekers to spicy kitties who prefer their space. I’m experienced with feline and canine body language, medication routines, enrichment, and keeping pets as close to their normal routine as possible. I always move at their pace and never force interaction. During visits, I’ll provide fresh food and water, litter box care or potty breaks, and plenty of attention based on your pet’s comfort level. That may include playtime, walks, pets, brushing, treats, or simply sitting quietly with a shy pet. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and compassionate, and I pay attention to the little things. You can also expect plenty of updates and photos while you’re away! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. As the founder of a cat rescue and TNR organization, I care for cats every day while also working remotely, which gives me flexibility when scheduling visits. I’m dependable, organized, and comfortable following each pet’s normal feeding, medication, playtime, and care routine. I care for pets in their own homes by keeping their routine as familiar and consistent as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, keep food and water areas clean, secure doors and gates, and make sure the home is safely locked after each visit. I understand both cat and dog body language, so I approach each pet calmly, move at their pace, and never force interaction. I take time to build trust, especially with pets who are shy, nervous, or adjusting to someone new. I also provide updates and photos so clients can feel confident that their pets and home are safe and well cared for.

About: Hello, my name is Kaitlynn. I have and do love working and helping with animals my whole life. I’ve had at least one animal my whole life. I love playing, teaching, helping, and even sleeping with all kinds. I would love to watch your animals, all shapes and sizes. I’ve stayed at peoples houses and dog sat while also house sitting, I can do that as well. I hope you can consider me as someone who you would like to watch your furry, or not so furry, friend! I have 3 cats! My oldest, Bubbles, is almost 2 years old and I've had him since he was 8 weeks old! My youngest two are sisters, Bee and Biscuit! They're almost a year old and I've had them since they were 8 weeks old as well! I had a cat and a dog (they've passed away due to old age). My cat stayed downstairs and my dog stayed upstairs with us. They didn't get along too well so we kept them separate. My cat didn't mind other cats at all, she was almost 16 years old. My dog didn't like other dogs too much, she was around them when she was younger but she liked her space the older she got. She was 11 years old. I'm currently unemployed due to my job being closed by the owner. I'll always try to work around my schedule and yours to make sure your furry baby gets what they need! I would prefer to care for your animal in your home, I know new places and spaces could make some animals nervous. My cats are still very young and I'm not sure how they would react to another animal in my home. So this is just my preference to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe. I would follow every instruction that is given and never do less. I want to make every animal comfortable and feel safe around me, no matter what. I pride myself on loving animals just like they're our own kids.

About: I grew up in a house with cats and taking care of the neighbors golden retriever dog whenever they had trips. I house sat for pet owners throughout highschool. I have given pills to cats and dogs and also done light grooming such as baths, shampoos, and some nail work on dogs. I currently work at the hospital 4 days a week that are swing shifts. I have a flexible work schedule and am always looking for things to do on the side. I currently help care for a dog that requires medication so I am skilled at administering pills to dogs and making sure they actually take the pill. I enjoy going on walks with dogs and also have dog seatbelts if a drive is necessary for the dogs.

About: I have owned my own personal animals for the past 6 years, I have 3 dogs (all beautiful muts) and 8 cats. Aside from having my own furry kids, I've also worked in animal rescue for a little over 4 years. This job field has given me so much experience working with every sort of dog breed, and any cat temperament. I currently work a full time job Monday-Thursday but I would love to be more involved in the animal field again. With me having fridays off I feel this is a great opportunity to spend time helping others and hanging out with animals! Since I do have my own animals, I will not be able to provide in home care. However, I will be more than happy to set something up with you to do care for your pets in their own home!

About: I’ve always grown up around animals and had countless pets throughout my life! I love love love big dogs, but also every other critter I meet! I’ve dealt with puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and picky pets. I’m not scared of messes or hold grudges against pets that aren’t the biggest fans of other people. My goal is just to make sure your pet is comfortable! I’m currently a full-time college student working a few hours each week at the college, so I’m busy most mornings but never for more than a couple hours at a time. I’m usually very free on weekends and can make myself more available during the week if need be. My biggest concern is how comfortable your pet is! So, I’m all for doing whatever they want to do! If your pet loves going on walks, car rides, and outside adventures I’d be more than happy to do so. On the other hand, I’ve dealt with some reactive and picky pets in the past and we still figure out how to have a good time without crossing any boundaries your pet might have. Since I’m in school right now, I am not able to house a dog for sitting. I don’t mind pets with strict diets, exercise routines, medications, or anything of the sort and will make sure they get the care they need.

Lucy is a nice addition to the caregiver team for my kids. I am such a mother hen and she has offered good feedback. Lucy is able to identify the needs of the kids while I am not there and take care of them or call me with questions. I would recommend Lucy to help with your fur babies 😊

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cumberland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Cumberland on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 82 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cumberland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cumberland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cumberland. On Rover:

  • 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 80% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
