“Christina was great with my animals. She went above and beyond by taking initiative to do things I would later ask about. Already done! I'm happy my babies were in such good hands while on vacation.”
“Sarah was fantastic! She sent daily photos of Arlo, including him snuggled up with her on the couch. She is always quick to respond, easy to communicate with, punctual, and left my home cleaner than when she arrived. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!”
“Whitney took amazing care of our two dogs while we were out of town! She treated them like they were her own and gave us so much peace of mind, especially with leaving our puppy for the first time! Will absolutely be rebooking Whitney for future stays!”
“Tyreika was amazing. She sent the cutest pictures. She should actually be an animal photographer. I knew they were being taken care of as well as if I were here. I would not hesitate to trust Tyreika with my furries again.”
“We had such a positive experience with Samantha. She communicated to us how our dogs were doing while we were away, sent us photos, and overall provided them with love and lots of attention while we were away!”
“Sam took very excellent care of my 5 cats and dog while I had an emergency and needed her last minute. She was very flexible and accommodating. I got tons of updates which made me feel very assured my fur babies were in excellent care while I was at the hospital with my baby. It was also a holiday and she was available. She was upfront about her kiddos coming, which was no problem. I was amazed there was no mess or anything. She cleaned up all dishes, took trash out and watered my plants. I had a week long stay at the hospital, I even asked if she would change my sheets and she did this for me. I was so blessed to find her and will always use her if she is available if I need a pet sitter. She even left a little goodie bag with a neat ink pen and some bracelets my daughter will not take off and loves! I’ve had pet sitters before that would just lock the dog out of my room and not interact with Sadie but Sam sent lots of videos/pictures of all my animals. We are home now and Sadie is so happy, it great condition and sleeping so soundly cause they gave her lots of exercise. 10/10 will book Sam again.”
“Courtney was phenomenal! She took care of my dogs just like I would. She sent daily updates with pics and videos! I appreciate how kind she was to my sassy old dogs. lol”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats for most of my life. I was lucky enough to travel with my family, showing Standard and Giant Schnauzers expanding my knowledge and love for breeds of all sizes and personalities. Throughout my adulthood I have enjoyed caring for my friend’s pets while they were away. I just recently moved to Fayetteville and I miss having pets now and would like to be able to get some sloppy kisses, hugs and purrrrfect companionship and would love the opportunity to care for part of your family while you are away. Walks, playtime and snuggles are a daily routine. Special Skills I am well acquainted with taking care of puppies, and senior dogs with medical needs. I have trained dogs through obedience classes. I’m currently on Summer break and have full weeks of time off from June 1 through August 15th, 2026. The rest of the months I am free from Friday evenings through Sunday evening for home sitting. Holidays I am also free. I follow directions carefully and treat your pet and home as if they were mine. I am happy to text or send picture updates as requested.
“Excellent! Would highly recommend! Takes great care of our house and our pets. Great communication the entire stay. Did many extras I didn't ask for - like bringing in the mail, and sweeping/mopping the floors before she left. Dogs are happy to see her, and we know our house and pets are in good hands!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life. When I was young I had several pets always. I also had lab dogs half of my life. I am presently a retired school teacher so my schedule is very flexible. I am a local person I have lived here my whole life so I know the area well. My house is very secure and safe. I have no children living at home. It would just be me and my husband at the house.
“Gwen is fantastic, taking care of our dog while we were on vacation was great for our dog and us also. Bogey was totally content when we got back, really don’t think he even missed us. It was great that he didn’t have to adjust to different surroundings, or his routine was not affected. Gwen would send pictures and messages letting us know how he was doing. We will definitely contact Gwen the next time we need someone to sit with Bogey. Highly recommend Gwen!”
“Tiffany house sat our two dogs over the holidays. She went above and beyond with her care of our dogs! She sent daily updates and photos, quickly responded to messages, and even dropped them off and picked them up from a boarding facility for us. Our experience with Tiffany was wonderful! I could tell she really cared for and about the dogs and got to know their personalities and quirks. We have a senior Great Dane that required extra help with mobility, multiple shorter walks throughout the day, and medications and Tiffany did a wonderful job accommodating his special needs. The dogs loved Tiffany and we will definitely be repeat clients for any future trips out of town. I had peace of mind knowing my dogs were at home and being cared for by Tiffany!”
“B saved our vacation! We booked her last minute after seeing all of her positive reviews. She did not let us down and she is worth way more than she charges! She sent us pictures of our 5 pets the whole weekend we were away. Can’t thank her enough!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid, from playful puppies to senior adults needing extra patience. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, and play with their dogs while they're away, and I treat every pet like my own. I'm attentive to routines, quick to notice if something's off, and always up for extra cuddle time. Whether your dog needs a quiet homebody sitter or an energetic playmate, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for the whole time you're gone. I have flexible availability. I'm happy to work around your dog's routine, whether that's daily walks, feeding times, or overnight stays. Pet care is my main focus currently. Since I care for pets in your home rather than mine, I make it a priority to keep your dog's routine as normal as possible, sticking to their regular feeding schedule, walk times, and any specific instructions you leave me. I always double check doors and gates are secure, keep an eye out for anything that could be a hazard, and treat your home with the same respect and care I'd want for my own.
About: I've been pet sitting for the past 4 years, caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. In addition to my professional experience, I've grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I understand that every pet has their own routine and unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, administering simple medications, or just providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I've built a strong reputation through word of mouth for being dependable, trustworthy, and compassionate. I'm excited to use this platform to connect with more pet owners and continue providing reliable, attentive care that gives both pets and their families peace of mind. Pet care is a big part of my daily life! After completing four years in the Marine Corps, I now have a flexible schedule that allows me to focus on caring for pets. I regularly babysit, dog sit, walk dogs, and care for cats whenever opportunities arise, so my days are centered around providing dependable care for families in my community. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, and I love being able to give pet owners peace of mind while they're away. Whether it's sticking to a pet's routine, going on walks, or simply providing companionship, I make sure every pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. As a former Marine, I'm dependable, detail-oriented, and take responsibility seriously. I'll carefully follow your pet's routine, respect your home, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they're doing. My goal is to create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe and cared for while you're away. Whether they need lots of playtime and exercise or prefer quiet companionship and cuddles, I'll tailor my care to their individual personality and needs. I treat every pet—and every home—with the same level of respect and care that I would expect for my own.
About: I've been around dogs all my life. My grandparents were breeders for Scotties, Cocker Spaniels and Terriers. My personal pets have been Velvet a cooker spaniel, Tobby a shepherd/lab mix, Doobee a shepherd/collie mix and my current cohort is Harley a 50 lb mixed breed rescue from texas. I have completed over 18 months of weekly training with Harley culminating with AKC canine good citizen certificate. What i learned from that experience was the importance and significance of consistency. Additionally that I am trained to be as consistent as possible in providing the type of care that you prefer for your pet. I'm retired so I am usually available anytime and can do same day appointments. I'm usually up before 6am and keep late night hours also so please feel free to contact me anytime. I have a fenced yard and can easily crate your pet if needed. I have one pet friendly dog at home if your pet likes company. I do not have any children living at my home.
About: I’ve taken care of animals practically my whole life due to growing up with lots of them. I’ve been taught to properly groom and bathe pets. Always make sure they are fed to schedule. I love taking them on walks as well. I am a stay at home college student where my husband loves animals as well. My schedule is alway open to take care of your furry friends. I have a very open well maintained home with a fenced in yard. We have a female german Shepard and a female cat who gets along great with other animals. Very friendly household with animals.
About: I’m a responsible, patient, and caring person who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. I’m attentive to instructions, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I’ll also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while your pet is in my care I’m available during evenings and weekends, which gives me plenty of time to provide attentive and reliable care. I’m flexible with drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the care and attention they need. So after work, school or just need a break? But need your furry baby to be cared for?! I’m here!!! I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I’m careful with doors, feeding routines, litter boxes, and any special instructions. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel comfortable and confident while they’re away.
“Joshua did amazing watching our two dogs. They are super energetic and playful and he was able to keep them worn out by the end of each day. He took very good care with their regimented feeding and sleeping schedule. Would definitely recommend.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cumberland
Kimberly was awesome with our pups. They loved her and she was great at communicating with us while we were away. She sent updates and photos which eased the anxiety of leaving them home. We recommend Kimberly to anyone needing a pet sitter and won’t hesitate to book her again!
Emily was amazing! She sent pics daily, even though I didn’t always have a chance to reply. Her updates were great and super adorable. When I came home the house was clean (I think cleaner than I left it. ♥️) Litter boxes were clean too. Excited to have her back to hang with my crew. 😊
Christina was great with my puppers and everyone was happy and healthy when I came home! She sent pictures daily, even though I was distracted with family and not always able to check in. Being able to open my phone when I got the chance and know my babies were happy, was a stress off my plate. ♥️
Gwen is fantastic, taking care of our dog while we were on vacation was great for our dog and us also. Bogey was totally content when we got back, really don’t think he even missed us. It was great that he didn’t have to adjust to different surroundings, or his routine was not affected. Gwen would send pictures and messages letting us know how he was doing. We will definitely contact Gwen the next time we need someone to sit with Bogey. Highly recommend Gwen!
Molly was a breath of fresh air, we desperately needed someone to watch our fur kids over the fourth of July weekend and she came in clutch. She was great with our animals, even the one that doesn't get along with everyone. She promptly sent us updates everyday and brought up any concerns with our animals. Would recommend her a hundred times over and very thankful to have found someone with the professionalism and patience that she has with animals.
Elizabeth has been amazing house sitting for us! She takes care of our dogs, chickens, quail, and everything at our house. She is always very flexible with changes and has amazing communication. Each day she sends pictures or updates. Highly recommend Elizabeth if you are looking for a house sitter or pet sitter!
THE ABSOLUTE BEST! That is where I start. We had to book him in a pinch and we were able to get a meet and greet in with Khalil and our 3(65# plus) dogs. The meet and greet went great and he showed up on time 3 days later. We received photos every single day. He stayed in our home and was able to keep them entertained while there. The photos we received they were always looking happy. We were gone for 10 days and when we came back it was like we had just left with the house being clean. Khalil stayed in our guest room. We didn't ask him to but he took the sheets off of the bed and put them in the laundry room. The dishes he had used were put in the dishwasher. Main thing was to take care of our dogs and he went above and beyond on that! We will absolutely recommend Khalil to anyone and everyone looking for short and long term stays. Khalil was very responsive. We will be going back to him when we have to be out of town again. Khalil made it so easy to trust that they would be in good hands and taken care of the entire time. I could go on and on. An overall phenomenal experience.
We are so happy to have connected with Marsi and extremely thankful for the excellent care our 5 cats received while we were away! They can be a handful, but she loved them like her own, paid attention to their every need, respected their every cat demand, and took wonderful care of the home as well. A delightful, respectful, and very professional pet sitter! Thank you for everything <3
Hero dog sitter! Brittany literally came to the rescue for our pups and is kind, sweet, and really cares. Long story ahead, but important. We initially hired a different sitter to housesit our pups Monday-Friday. We left our house very early Monday to travel to Puerto Rico and expected the sitter to arrive mid to late morning. While traveling, the other sitter I initially hired told me she was in another state due to weather and was trying to get to our house as soon as possible. She said she had a family member that routinely helps her and was headed to our house immediately to take care of our pups until she could get there. I felt I needed to accept this plan since I was already very far away and did not have notice or time to change anything. I got a few updates the rest of Monday that the pups were being taken care of, and that everything was fine. I woke up Tuesday morning in PR and felt something was just “off”, so I checked my security cameras and no one had ever come to my house. No one arrived to housesit or take care of my dogs, ages 18, 15, and 2. I began panicking as I realized they had been alone for over 24 hours while I thought the other sitter’s family was with them. I logged on to Rover and sent out basically an emergency message to anyone it would allow me to message that was available the same day. Within a few minutes Brittany responded that she could help. This is such a busy time of year with the holidays and travel and she stopped everything to take over house sitting for the rest of the week. When she got to my house, thank GOD, my dogs were okay. They were hungry and thirsty and Brittany had a mess from them being alone for almost 30 hours at this point. She fed them and cleaned up and immediately sent me pictures and videos to show me they were okay. I had already checked to see how fast I could return to NC myself but it would have taken over 24 hours. For the rest of our trip Brittany took excellent care of my dogs and reassured me they were okay. I am handling the situation with the other sitter and I have no idea when she made it back to NC but she, nor her helper ever arrived to my house or checked with me since to see if my dogs were okay. I want to let everyone know that Brittany is amazing and will take care of your pets like her own!!
Halee is hands down the greatest. She did way more than I had asked for in a tremendous way. I told her one of my concerns was my little one having accidents (on purpose) when I'm not around. She checked on my boys more frequent than I had originally requested, to help with that issue. And guess what?-No spiteful accidents! She is very proactive and a problem-solver. I had last minute changes and she was flexible to work with me. I will absolutely be using Halee forever! 100/10.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
