“Ingrid is absolutely wonderful. I received videos and texts and constant communication while we were on vacation. She left my home immaculate, and my dog was cared for and loved beyond measure. She is a Rover treasure. I do not leave my dog with just anyone. I am grateful to have met her. She is a person of integrity - dependable and true to her word. Thank you Ingrid.”
“Ellyse is a hidden gem in the pet sitting world. She loves animals and it really shows! She takes the BEST care of our two dogs and two cats. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a new pet/house sitter!”
“Christian went above and beyond taking care of our fur babies. He exceeded our expectations, kept in constant contact while we were out of the country. He was housesitting for us and was very respectful to ask for permission if he had something new come up. It gives us great comfort to know this young man is available to provide such excellent care and keep an eye on our home. We look forward to booking him many times in the future.”
“We are return customers and will always book with Mandi first if she's available. Our fur babies love her so much! We so appreciate how communicative and flexible Mandi is, and never have a worry trusting her with our babies.”
“Kacey watched our family and home on an extended trip. Our pack loved her and her family! I was very impressed with how detail oriented she was to make sure our pets and home were well cared for.”
“I have put my life on hold for a long time, but leaving my fur babies with anyone is always stressful. However, Elena is a breath of fresh air! She is truly amazing, and I felt at ease with her immediately. Elena is very communicative and sends cute photos to check in regularly. Marley recently lost her brother and has been feeling depressed. The bonus is that Elena has a 2-year-old Shih Tzu/Poodle named Lava, whom we introduced to Marley during a meet and greet. They got along so well that Lava gets to babysit too! I hope this new friendship will help bring Marley out of her shell and support her through the grieving process. I cannot say enough great things about Elena. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring dog nanny who may even teach their fur baby a trick or two! Lava does backward handstands on command so definitely talk to her about dog training, which is a passion of hers.”
About: With 5 years dog walking and 10 years of caring for my own families animals (chickens, dogs, and cats) I will treat your animals like my own. I have experience administering medications and can help reinforce training skills for younger and older animals. I currently work part time during the week. However my hours are flexible based on the frequency you need me to check in on the animal(s). I can do check ins through out the day and stay over night all nights of the week as needed. I will care for your pets like my own. I will come into your home and help your pets stick to their routine so you don’t have to worry about being away. I will send updates and pictures, so you can have peace of mind knowing your animal(s) are safe and cared for.
“Gianna always does a great job taking after our two active Aussies. She leaves the house in great condition and shares photos to let us know they are doing well. We will definitely use her in the future.”
“Jayden was amazing with our pets!! We have some unique needs and she was so attentive to detail. We were gone for a week and every day we got an update and she also sent some photos. She took care of the house, and it was clean when we returned home, just as we had left it! Our pets love her and we will for sure be rebooking with her.”
“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!”
“Eleanor watched our dog Scout for us at our house over a 4-day long weekend. Scout got walks and lots of attention! We felt good leaving Scout in Eleanor’s hands while we were away—she’s communicative and very responsive. And left everything very tidy! We’d have her back for sure!”
“Makela was absolutely incredible to work with from the first meet and greet to our final farewell. Our kitties were given incredible care and company while we were away. Makela stayed in our home so that our kitties were not lonely and that made us comfortable to leave for our trip. Makela made sure to provide us pictures and regular updates throughout our trip to keep us in contact. I would highly recommend Makela!”
“Katie was seriously the best. 🥹 It was so clear how much she genuinely loved spending time with Indi, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated, gave Indi so much love and attention, and treated her like she was her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything. You can tell Katie truly loves animals, and we’re so grateful we found her. Looking forward to rebooking again in a heartbeat and honestly can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Katie! ❤️”
“Was nervous to leave my two Dachshunds, but Sasha sent pictures and videos everyday, they looked happy. She left everything as good as when I left. Everything was well taken care of. I will bevusing her again. I would recommend Sasha, she did a great job!”
“Lauren was fantastic to work with! She took care of my dog & cat for an extended trip over the holidays and I came home to two very happy boys. I greatly appreciated the updates, pictures, and clear communication. Highly recommend!”
“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 cared for a variety of animals while pet sitting in client homes and farms; my experience includes caring for up to 4 dogs at a time, 3 cats, turtles, and farm animals. I also care for kittens and young pups. I will treat your animals with love and care to ensure comfort and safety while their owners are away. I am available early mornings for feeding/walking/check-ins, most afternoons & evenings for care, as well as the weekends. I work during the week days until about 3:30/4. I work the public school calendar and have built in breaks and time off, including summers. I work to ensure your animals feel as comfortable as possible whether within their own homes or staying in mine. I understand the need to be calm and allow animals to gain comfortably around a new care taker. I will give them the space they need to "come around"; I take meal times, going out for potty & walks, as well as medication delivery and special needs seriously. I want pet owners to feel confident their fur babies are being taken care of with fidelity.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cumberland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 4,474 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.

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.
