Carly was AMAZING! It was our first time having a pet sitter stay in our house and it was for an extended period of time. Finding a reliable and trustworthy sitter was my main concern for our trip, but Carley alleviated all of my concerns. She sent regular photos and updates, and we came back to our home in perfect condition. All of the animals love her and I already have her booked for our next trip!

It's always hard to leave the old boy, but Marie was outstanding and kept Bentley safe and warm as well as providing a constant presence. Marie is a neat and conscientious house guest and I would not hesitate to ask her back again.

Alexis was wonderful. She was very attentive to Shep. She walked and played with him and took him out on adventures. She kept in touch with us and sent pictures. I would highly recommend and look forward to her dog sitting again. I know Shep misses her already.

Anna took great care of our pups, kitty, and home while we were away. We've used Anna for dog walking before her weeklong stay in our home, and the animals love her. Anna is very gentle and kind, and that reflects when we've seen her interact with all of our animals. She made sure to stay in communication with us and send great pictures to make us feel at ease. We plan on continuing to hire Anna for dog walking or future pet sitting.

Sophia was great! 10 out of 10 would recommend for sitting your pet! We were able to meet her before she stayed at our house! This was our first time leaving our 2 dogs for a few days to head to vacation and she was always sending us updated on how they were doing! We will be rebooking with Sophia for our next vacation to stay with our 2 dogs!

About: Your dog will be treated like my own pampered pets. Pets will be comfortable, well-tended and cuddled (if your dog likes). With over 30 years as a pet owner, I am very experienced and excited to care for your pet. I can administer medicines, including shots/IV fluids. I love all animals and have made friends with almost every dog I have met. Worry not--relax while you're away. Your fur babies are in very capable hands! I’m currently working from home. Your pets will get plenty of attention! I like to keep the same routing pets are used to in their own homes. I have a a large deck and two friendly dogs to keep your fur babies company. I can easily crate your dog if needed whether at night or certain times during the day.

Cheyana was absolutely amazing with my Harry! This was a short notice booking and I’m so grateful to have found her. Cheyana has such a calm and gentle energy that put Harry right at ease during our meet & greet, and I could tell she really cared about making sure he felt comfortable. I loved that Cheyana let Harry approach her at his own pace. She was very attentive and thoughtful, sending me photos and updates throughout the booking, which gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear she is very experienced and really knows what she is doing, and I couldn’t have asked for better care. I would wholeheartedly recommend Cheyana to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and experienced sitter! I’ll definitely book again!!

This was my first time using Rover and I feel blessed to have met Cierra! She was beyond wonderful with my 8-yr old pug. She provided great reports and pictures throughout the day and reached out whenever she had questions. She stayed at my house over thanksgiving weekend and gave my pup all the love and extra attention he’s used to getting. Cierra is kind and caring and resourceful; she takes her job very seriously and excels at it. I will call her again for overnights and for shorter visits. I could not be happier and am grateful to have met her.

About: I’ve trained three very skittish rescue doggies and purebred pups. I dog sit for friends and family often. I am extremely energetic/Athletic and if your doggie wants to go for a run, I am up for that for sure! Or if they just need some calming snuggle time, I’m your girl! I enjoy getting to know pet’s unique personalities and needs. I grew up around animals my whole life — dogs, house cats, barn cats, and even neighboring farm animals and wildlife. Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. Recently losing my longtime companions, Niko, a tiny chihuahua/corgie mix & rescue with a huge personality, and Copper, a golden with a goofball heart of gold, reminded me how deeply our pets become family. I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet at home while working, traveling, or managing a busy schedule, and I know how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for them. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, patience, or extra attention, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I’d want for my own. I look forward to meeting new furry friends and helping give pet owners peace of mind. I called my doggies my kiddos and will care for yours as such! My days are free and can’t wait to fill them up with more joy, walks, training, runs and snuggles. Obedience, praise and love are my core. My pets are my world, I care for and treat others pets as my own. I will treat your home as mine as well! I’m responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Can’t wait to meet!

About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I have over 8 years of experience working as a veterinary technician. Throughout my career, I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets and those with special medical needs. My veterinary background allows me to provide a higher level of care and recognize changes in your pet’s health, behavior, and comfort. I am experienced with administering medications, including oral medications, injections, and subcutaneous (SQ) fluids. I can also assist with nail trims, feeding, exercise, enrichment, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, active playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby, I tailor my care to their individual needs. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that their furry family member is in experienced hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work full time at a veterinary hospital but am always available to do early mornings( before 8 am) Monday: available before 8 am & after 5 pm Tuesday’s: available before 8 am Wednesday’s: available all day Thursday’s: available before 11 am Friday’s: available before 8 am & after 5 pm Saturdays: available after 1pm Sunday’s: available after 1pm I am willing to go to your home & play with your dogs in your own yard (if fenced) & take them for long walks in your neighborhood or any trails in the area.

Monica is wonderful. She is loved by my dog and when she stays at my home it feels like a family member caring for my dog. She clearly loves my dog and her professional approach to the business end (schedule, communication and med management) gives me such piece of mind when traveling.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cumberland

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Cumberland on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 3,786 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 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.

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

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% 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.
