“Emily is the soul of patience. She is utterly reliable, communicates well and while I was away, made every effort to win over my kitty, Basil as he hid under the bed. She went beyond the call of duty by coming by twice to go over what needed to be done before I went away. When I need to rearrange the dates due to a medical emergency, she was gracious and understanding. I would recommend her highly. ~Daphne”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat, Chong! Rachel sent us a detailed update after each visit, along with pictures. She also brought in an Amazon package that was delivered in our absence, which I had not asked her to do. We appreciate the extra initiative! Thank you Rachel! Dave and Pat”
“Ellie was phenomenal with my cat Nami, taking time to play with her and pet her when she dropped in to care for her. It was my first time leaving Nami for a long trip but having Ellie send daily pictures really alleviated my anxiety. I definitely plan on hiring her again.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 6 years and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all ages and sizes. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away. I understand that every pet has a different personality and routine, so I always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like they’re my own by giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I work, but I have a flexible schedule and am happy to coordinate pet care around my work hours. Whether you need morning, evening, or weekend visits, or overnights I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. I always make sure every pet gets the time, attention, exercise, and care they deserve, and I’ll communicate with you every step of the way to ensure your pet stays happy and comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, and any special needs. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.
About: I have had cats and dogs in my life since the age of 6. I have raised two dogs from puppies, and have a lot of experience with older dogs as my friends and family prefer to adopt. I previously fostered a Lab-Pitbull, and currently have a Pomeranian, so I have plenty of experience with dogs of all sizes. I am currently available any day of the week from 1:30pm on. I work from home, so overnight or extended stays are no issue for me! I have a big fenced in yard where dogs can run and play, and I live in a quiet neighborhood that is great for dog walks. I am available on-call to take dogs for walks in their own neighborhoods as well! I love to play fetch and give some of the best scritches in town (just ask my dog) :)
“Allyssah was great with my three dogs during her drop in visits. She took the time to meet them while I was home prior to the visits and was very friendly and asked good questions to make sure she was prepared. She was very punctual and sent lots of pictures and updates. I would book her again!”
“Xavier is reliable punctual and fantastic as always. He is detailed oriented and follows instructions well. I will book him again and I would absolutely trust him with my dog. I'm glad that I can have someone as reliable as him with my dog. We have communications so you can rest easy leaving him with your fur babies.”
“Stephanie is such a big help to my chickens and me! She made sure my chickens had fresh water when I was worried about it being frozen. And on a holiday!! Thank you so much, Stephanie!!”
About: i have had dogs my whole life, i work at a vet and am an aspiring vet tech! i love to be around animals and tend to get along well with them! i work everyday except for sunday monday and Wednesday! any of those days id be happy to walk your pup or after 3pm other days! i have 2 dogs at home but would prefer to take care of your dog in your home as i do have 1 reactive dog in my home!
“Lesley is amazing! She helped us out in a pinch when our doggy daycare closed suddenly and offered to have a last minute meet and greet. She even brought her Rollo for playtime which Mulligan absolutely loved. I felt so relieved knowing Mully was in her care.”
About: I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and have experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages and sizes—from a gentle giant Mastiff to smaller dogs with daily medication needs. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a long walk/ hike, playtime, cuddles, meds, or just a loving companion, I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll provide dependable care and keep you updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. I’ll give your pet the same love, attention, and care I’d want for my own. I work part time caring for plants and helping with the on-site pets at my job. It’s a small company with a lot of flexibility so most of the time it’s easy to customize my schedule. If you need care in my home, I have a good set up with spaces that can be closed off if you have a shy pet who prefers quiet. As far as outside playtime for dogs, I have a good sized yard and live in a great neighborhood with sidewalks. I’m also able to go on hikes with your dog if that’s their thing. I’m comfortable coming to your home and keeping your pet’s routine as usual if that’s your preference.
About: I’ve been walking my family’s dogs for almost a decade now - a high energy Brittany spaniel & a very large husky/shepherd mix. 7 years ago I rescued a German shepherd/pit bull mix (Layla) who I’ve trained extensively and take on daily adventures. Then, a year ago I rescued Dixon (a German shepherd/Australian cattle dog mix) and he’s been reactive to humans & dogs alike. I’ve completed extensive training in classes with him alongside professionals. I’ve taken that experience and can apply many basic training concepts to dogs of all sizes/ages. I’m currently available throughout the work week from 2pm into the early evening. Book early to save a spot right at 2! I can also do special requests for weekends (although it says I am not available - shoot me a message and we can discuss!) I know a wide variety of trails/walking spots in the local area, so your pup will always be enriched & happy! I make sure to carry some kind of dog deterrent (PetSafe SprayShield or Pet Corrector) in case of emergency, and try to engage in positive reinforcement training throughout walks. This looks like rewarding the dog(s) with treats when they check in with me, stay in a heel, or keep loose tension on the leash. Within your home, I’ll always change/refill the water for the dog(s) after the walk.
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.
“It was the first time we called on Stuart to walk Clare, not just once, but twice in a day, and we’re glad we did. Stuart was conscientious from the start, offering to stop by the day before we needed him to meet us and Clare. We highly recommend him!”
About: Hi! I’m Shadya. I have experience caring for pets through pet sitting and from having pets of my own. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while in my care. I’m currently studying Veterinary Technology and I’m also certified in Cat & Dog First Aid. I know every pet is different, so I’m always happy to follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m currently in college, but I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting, and I’ll always do my best to work around your pet’s usual routine. I always do my best to make sure pets feel safe, happy, and comfortable while they’re in my care! I’m happy to follow their usual routines, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or any instructions you leave. I also understand that every pet has their own personality, so I’m patient and always make sure they get the care and attention they need.
“Polina did such an amazing job with our cats! She took such good care of them and managed to get our shy one out of his shell 🥹 I would book with her again in a heartbeat!”
About: Hi, I’m Zoe and I love all dogs! I’ve been pet sitting for many years now. I am used to having dogs in my home and caring for them outside of my home. I have experience with special needs dogs as well. I am home all day during the week as I work from home in the pet industry! I will run, walk, you name it! As long as the dog is happy and cared for! I have a fenced in yard. I have experience with all different sizes and breeds. I have cared for up to 10 dogs at once! I have a German Shepherd named Zeppelin. He LOVES dogs!! I have decided to walk/sit/board on Rover because I genuinely enjoy it and would love the opportunity more often. I work from home and I actually work in the pet industry! Because I work from home I am home all day during the week. The pups love sitting by me and popping in my meetings to say hello! I treat all pets in my home like my own. They are members of the family so they are allowed on all furniture and my bed. I want your pet to be as comfortable and happy as possible during their stay!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cumberland
It was my first time using Rover and to have Jessica as my first sitter was truly the most amazing experience. She was very professional and kind. She paid attention and remembered the things I said. I pointed to the litter manual just in case she needed it but no she READ the whole thing to be prepared. That was just ONE of the many things she did to go above and beyond. The pictures and descriptions she sent made me feel at peace and that my cat was loved and cared for like it was her own. She always showed up even earlier at times, was very detailed with the descriptions of the visits, and took lots of pictures. We had an incident where the fire alarm was going off because of the low battery, I got so nervous my friend had to be the one that texted for me but Jessica acted promptly to handle the situation and made me feel at peace that my cat was doing okay afterwards. Definitely re-booking her every time if she’s available she’s truly great and I can’t recommend her enough ❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Cumberland is $20 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $25 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 6,095 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 91% 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.
