“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 😊”

“Megan did a fantastic job taking care of our dog while we were out of town for the weekend. She gave prompt check ins and even cleaned up some plants that our dog knocked over. We would definitely recommend Megan!”

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: 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.

Bethany is great! She is trustworthy and plays with the bunnies and they seem to love her! She was so cool about feeding our new cat and some of the community cats who come around. Cats seemed trustworthy of her, too! ☺️

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Cumberland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cumberland is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 83 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Cumberland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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:

  • 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
