“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!”
“I booked Marley for a 10 day housesit, and I really couldn’t recommend her enough!! She was very communicative, and sent pictures multiple times a day to update me on my dog’s behavior and activity which made me feel so safe leaving my dog with her. When my dog got into something she shouldn’t have (something I left out), Marley was right on it, and made sure my dog was happy and healthy! Thank you so much, Marley!”
“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: I have hands-on experience caring for German Shepherds, so I’m very comfortable with large, high-energy dogs. I also have a cat and experience with smaller pets like bunnies, so I understand how to adjust care based on each animal’s needs and personality. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their routine. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company, I treat every pet like my own. Im currently homeschooled, in my senior year. My schedule is open I’m available everyday all day. I will be attending college in the fall. My dog, cat, and bunny are very well taken care of (photos in profile), Oreo my cat is the most spoiled he is the king of the house. Bunny is free range she is literally a dog most of the time haha. Shea my doggie is now older so she is more layed back in the playing department but she loves the outside time!
“Enzo made a new friend! Raven was great. We would definitely recommend her services. We felt confident and comfortable with Enzo in Raven’s care, which was really important to us.”
About: I have loved and cared for dogs for over 30 years. I have taken care of other peoples pets for over 10 years. I love to interact with animals and provide exceptional general care ❤️🧡🏳️🌈 I am pretty flexible and available unless already booked through my other house sitting services. We can find a time that works! for a meet and greet. It would be your home, they would get to remain comfortable and free of exposure to other animals with a variety of issues from a loving and kind professional.
“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.”
“Breanna did a great job dog and house sitting for us. She took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand to get to know our pups and their routine. While we were away, she communicated frequently on how things were going including sending pics. Will definitely use her services in the future.”
“Haley did everything that I asked of her and more. She was extremely responsive, sent many photos, and provided constant updates which made me as a pet parent extremely happy to know that my pup was in good hands. The house was in perfect condition when I got back home as well. Will definitely re-book again! Thank you Haley!”
“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.”
“We had just gotten our puppy and needed a sitter to watch him two days later. Cassie was fantastic; she had no issues watching him in our home and was even nice enough to bring him back to her home where she has a fenced in backyard! She provided photos and updates throughout the day and we will definitely book her again!”
About: I'm the go to girl for washing up our puppers, and even climbing in the tub just to set them at ease. I go the extra mile to make sure animals are comfortable and happy. I currently have all the freedom to play with your pup, walk them, and care for their needs. So please fill my calendar with puppy play dates! I would like to fully understand the routine the client has for their pet prior to make sure it does not get disrupted and allows the pup to stay at ease.
“We couldn’t be happier with Shannan! She stayed in our home for three weeks to take care of our dog, Max, and we came back to the same tidy home we left — plus a happy, well-cared-for pup. Not only did she keep Max loved and comfortable, but she also worked on some training with him, which was such a pleasant surprise. Shannan kept us updated with regular messages, photos, and videos, so we always felt connected while we were away. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible dog sitter.”
“Zoe took great care of our pets, followed their care instructions, sent plenty of photos, and left the house in good shape too. We know our dog and cats enjoyed being under her care and were happy & healthy upon our return. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Provided care for my dogs while I was away and gave me peace of mind knowing they had someone looking after them. Communication was great, and I appreciated having someone dependable to help during my time away.”

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.
