“Allison was amazing with our pups and our home!! She went above and beyond on every count & left the house nicer than it was when we left! It was my first time being away from either pup for this long & Allison was amazing with sending me tons of pictures too. :) Both our puppies were happy and healthy the whole time we were gone!! And both our puppies missed her when she left!! We will definitely be using Allison again whenever we’re here and in need of anything pup related. Highly, highly recommend. Thank you, Allison!”
About: Growing up I always had a dog. I absolutely love animals. I currently have a golden doodle and a Cavachon. My cavachon is a senior dog who has had major surgery. I'm very experienced with taking care of dogs of any age or with medical conditions. I work part time at a pizza shop. I am also a college student. Since I only have class 3 days a week in the afternoon I have a lot of free time in the mornings. Taking care of pets would fit perfectly into my mornings. At my home I have 2 dogs that I take care of. I can easily adapt to different feeding, walking, or activity styles for different pets.
About: I am an animal lover and would love to help take care of your furry, feathered, and scaled friends! I have 3 cats and since I was born, I have always had at least one cat and fish. I also love dogs and have experience with farm animals, too. I can help with feedings, waste clean-up, walking, play time, brushing, and whatever else you may need. I am also happy to take photos, send you text updates, or do a phone call/video chat with you during the service so I can keep you informed with any updates and to put your mind at ease (I know how stressful it can be when you've just met your pet sitter and you're away on vacation, missing your babies- I've been there!). Please feel free reach out with any questions or if you'd like to schedule a phone or in-person interview. I currently work part-time as a tour guide and do the occasional side gig in the pet care/housekeeping field. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I can make early morning and late afternoon and evening visits. Certain days I am available any time of day, as I am only working part-time and not every day. I always respect the client's house rules and put pet safety first. I can assist with feedings, walking dogs/letting them out in the yard, waste clean-up, brushing, and playtime/keeping pets' company.

I am early riser but also don't mind late hours I provide loving and attentive care for pets in the comfort of your own home. I’ll make sure your furry friend gets plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime while following your routine and any special instructions. From feeding and walks to cuddles and companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I want you to have a good peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I have lived on a farm my whole life. We had many dogs and it was my job to take care of them. I have raised puppy’s taken care of elderly dogs, and have taken care of dogs that needed medical care. I understand the temperament of all furry friends as they are all special in their own way. All of my time will be devoted to your pups. My job is to make sure your pups have the best vaca at my location! I have two very friendly Labrador retrievers. If your dog is friendly then they will have lot of fun! If your dog is not then I do have the resources to make sure they don’t see each other. If your dogs needs to be crated I do have that option.

Whatever standard you have for your pup, I can meet it.

About: For over five years, I've been running my dog walking/sitting business, primarily through word of mouth thanks to the trust and satisfaction of my clients. Until recently, I considered this business more of a side gig, stemming from my joy of being around animals. Now, I'm ready to transition into a full-time business, fully committing to providing the best care for your furry family members. I have a flexible schedule that enables me to easily adjust and adapt my services as needed, ensuring that I can meet the individual requirements of both owner and their pets I am fully pet insured, which provides me with the coverage needed while caring for your furry friends.

“Domenique was amazing with Oreo and Zoey! They just adored her. While normally anxious when we leave they were too busy playing with Domenique to notice we were leaving :)”
About: I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I have hands-on experience raising my own two dogs—a 4-year-old Shih-Poo and a 2-year-old Pit Bull—both of whom I've cared for since they were puppies. That experience has taught me patience, consistency, and how to recognize when a dog needs playtime, reassurance, exercise, or simply a quiet place to relax. I treat every dog as if they were my own, paying close attention to their comfort, safety, and individual needs. Whether it's sticking to feeding schedules, going on walks, giving plenty of affection, or making sure anxious pets feel secure while their owners are away, I aim to provide dependable care that helps both pets and owners feel at ease. Im currently working part time so I'll be able to take care pets after 2 pm til 11pm . Im flexible on weekends so I can take care of pets any time on the weekends. I have a big yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. I spend lots of time with dogs so I would dedicate lots of it to your pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 747 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cumberland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
