“Christian has looked after our cats for years now and there’s no one we trust more. He always makes sure their feeding, medicine, and nighttime routines are followed. And he makes sure to send pictures and videos for us to see what cute shenanigans they’re up to. He’ll always be our first call when we need our four-legged babies looked after whether it be days, weeks, or months.”
“Janine did a great job watching our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands, and they were happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely trust Janine to watch them again and highly recommend her.”
About: I have been pet sitting for 3 years now and want to make a future out of it. Any experience helps me ensure that my veterinary technician career pathway is tangible! I am completely free in availability- although I may be busy during the day doing my volunteering at my local cat clinic! My schedule fluctuates within a wide range, but is usually only during 2 days of the week. I have a fenced yard and two cats that I groom and take care of myself. I have had both of them for about 2 years now and they are the healthiest; cutest cats you’d ever meet!
“Kate was very good at communicating quickly! Our dogs were well taken care of and seemed to have a good time with her watching them! She went above and beyond and watered our outdoor potted flowers to keep them thriving in the hot summer. We will definitely choose to book her again!”
“Thank you so much for taking such sweet care of our fur babies! Our little ChiChi was diagnosed with Addisons just the week before and was very ill. We came home to a very happy boy who had gained nearly all 9 pounds of his weight loss back! Thank you!!!”
“Jessica did a great job with our 2 yo Great Dane, our old lady pointing dog, and our opinionated kitty. Lots of great communication, and definitely lots of love for the critters.”
“Chelsey was a wonderful sitter for our pets. She was quick to respond to my messages and was confident in her care of our cats and dog. I would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
“Katie and Quixem are fantastic pet sitters! We hired them to watch our dog and rabbit while we were on vacation. They were incredibly responsive while we were away. They kept us updated with regular messages and photos that reassured us that our pets were doing well. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their pets and home.”
“We LOVE how much Shalindra loves our dogs, and they love her! She keeps us thoroughly updated and sends plenty of pictures and videos so we know they’re doing well. She is someone who you know just adores spending time with dogs, which helps us know she’s enjoying her time with our pups, even if one of our dogs is insane haha. Highly recommend Shalindra if you want someone to truly enjoy hanging out with your pups and update you along the way.”
“Samantha was great! She arrived right on time, kept the house very clean, and sent daily texts to keep us informed of the fun her and our dog had. Highly recommend and will use her again!”
“Sara is always so kind and caring of my pets! She takes such good care of them while I’m away, and she keeps my place nice and tidy as well. Love having her as a sitter!”
“Shelby did an amazing job. My GSD doesn’t always like new people but when Shelby arrived she ran to get her ball for play. Would definitely recommend Shelby for house/dog sitting.”
“Ardelle clearly as a deep connection with animals. She is was great with our fear aggressive dog. Her calm demeanor put him at ease more quickly than most, and she took exceptional care of him while we were away. I would definitely book her again, and recommend her to others.”
“Jennifer was amazing ! She provided great updates on Rylo and Darla. Jennifer took excellent care of our babies and took them to long walks. During our time away Jennifer sent us photos of our babies. I recommend Jennifer and would definitely book her again.”
“Thank you Alex for taking such great care of our senior dog. We wanted her to be as comfortable as possible and Alex did a great job! We got daily updates and videos to see how our baby was getting along. We appreciate the loving care that was given during our absence.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cumberland
Paeyton was the quickest to respond to our in-home dog-sitting request and was professional, responsive, and attentive from the start. She communicated consistently before our trip and scheduled a meet-and-greet right away, which gave us great peace of mind. When we returned, our home was in better condition than when we left, and our dog was happy and well cared for. She even went above and beyond by tending to our dog’s injured foot, which was almost completely healed when we returned. She also did some unexpected touch-up cleaning, including the dishes, which we greatly appreciated. A few more detailed check-ins including photos or videos while we were away may have been nice, but overall, we had an excellent experience. We highly recommend Paeyton to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible sitter for their furry baby. We would absolutely book her again!

FAQs for House Sitting - Cumberland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 4,343 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.
