“Dannie was beyond exceptional. They made me and my dog feel well taken care of. It was my first time leaving Penny alone for the weekend and she may have had more fun with Dannie than she does with me. Will 💯 book with them again! Thank you Dannie!”
“My dogs were well cared for with Sophie while we were away, as was my apartment! Sophie cleaned up after her stay and even put our grocery delivery away for us which we did not ask her to do. My dogs had a wonderful time, thank you Sophie!”
“Aubrey was wonderful from day 1! She did a great job taking care of our animals and we would book her again in a heart beat. We got daily updates and pictures and she was always just a quick text away. You could tell our pets were happy well taken care of when we got home. Thanks, Aubrey!”
“April was absolutely wonderful, and we would happily book with her again. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she was reliable, professional, and easy to work with. What impressed us most was how quickly she built a connection with Lou. It was clear that she genuinely cares about dogs and made Lou feel comfortable right away. We felt completely confident leaving Lou in her care and would highly recommend April to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter. We would not hesitate to book with her again!”
“Elyssa is awesome! Her background and experience was what caught our attention, but she really was wonderful while she stayed at our house with our pup. She went above and beyond to keep the house in order and keep our little one happy. We will definitely use her again and encourage others to do the same.”
About: I’ve been caring for my family’s pets since I was 6 years old, and my love for dogs has only grown from there. Over the years, I’ve become the trusted sitter for friends and family when they go out of town, work long days, or need an extra hand. I genuinely treat every pet like family — I even call my friends’ dogs my nieces and nephews. I’m patient, attentive, and loving, and I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. My schedule is currently very flexible since I’m no longer tied to a traditional 9–5. I have plenty of availability for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, care, and consistency they’re used to. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for a walk or drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they feel secure, loved, and well cared for. I pay close attention to feeding instructions, leash safety, medications, house rules, and any special details that help your pet feel at ease. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel confident while you’re away.

“I enjoyed Tiera looking after Diamond , She followed the minor instructions in caring for my Princess, She’s a wonderful sitter I know Diamond was pleased with her as well ….. Thank you so Much 😍”

“Christopher was an amazing sitter for my dog. Very attentive, kept me updated, and kept the place super clean. My dog was still adjusting to his new routine and he kept it up, and kept me updated throughout the stay. Would definitely book him again! Thank you again so much! :)”
“Zubin was so sweet and accommodating to a very last minute request! She took great care of my baby boy and I’m so grateful for her patience to sit with him and care for him while I was away! Would highly recommend and book again in the future 🥰”

“Lindsey has been extremely accommodating with my crazy schedule. She is a kind, amicable pet sitter who I recommend. She took care of my 3 dogs and 2 cats effortlessly, and I promise they are quirky and come with a list of duties. She left the house spotless, and even moved in furniture boxes!! Have already rebooked.”
“Krystol was amazing keeping Raider. He is a funny dog and she adjusted well to taking care of him! And she sent lots of pictures/videos. She had great communication. I hope to be able to book her again.”
“Margaret stayed and watched our dog Betty and our cat pickles over the weekend. She was fantastic! She sent updated and pictures all the time, I felt really good about leaving them with her. I will use Margaret again in the future!”
“Nicole is awesome! She was incredibly attentive to my dogs during her stay, and sent daily updates and pictures. She went above and beyond to make sure the dogs got plenty of attention, walks etc, and also made me feel extremely comfortable leaving them in her care for an extended period of time. I would absolutely use Nicole for future house /dog sitting, and would recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter who genuinely loves animals and taking care of them. Thank you so much!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cumberland Heights
Kaitlyn was a fantastic sitter for our 2 yo pup. Our pup is hesitant around new people and Kaitlyn made her comfortable almost immediately. Very responsive and lots of updates throughout the week. She was also a great house guest, leaving the house in better shape than when we left. Highly recommend!!
Katie always goes above and beyond for our dog, Kya. She always gives Kya lots of playtime and exercise. She is great at communicating with us, she always sends us great photos of our girl and updates us on everything happening while we are gone. We know Kya is in the best hands with Katie!
We’ve had Aubrey house/dog sit for us twice now and both have been great! We have 2 silly doggies who can be a lot (the boxer in particular 😉) but they love Aubrey so much! We were able to relax on our trip knowing she was tending to our babies. The house was perfectly tidy and in order! Highly recommend Aubrey for your pet care needs!
Nicole went above and beyond watching our 2 cats and puppy while we were gone for a week! We will be working with her for all of our trips in the future! During her house stay, she followed all instructions perfectly, and went above and beyond with individualized report cards for each pet, ensuring the house was clean, and even doing laundry for the items she used!!
Natalie was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Shiloh! She took such great care of her, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It can be tricky to find sitters that are comfortable with a German Shepherd but it was clear Shiloh was happy, comfortable, and well loved the entire time. We will absolutely book with Natalie again!!
Abigail took great care of my dog and left my house just as clean as she found it. She stayed overnights at my house while we were away. She sent pictures and updates and helped alleviate a digestion issue with my pup by switching up the food. She also took her on several walks each day to wear her out. I’d definitely have her back!
Nicole was incredible! We were traveling out of the country & were delayed…Nicole watched our puppy an additional day, & we were so grateful! Her communication was perfect & it was so encouraging to receive photos & videos of our dog while we were away. She even washed the sheets on the bed for us!
Hannah was incredibly sweet, communicative, and wonderful to work with. I never once questioned whether my pup was in good hands while I was away, and that’s really all you can ask for. It was a relief knowing he was so well cared for. It’s obvious he absolutely loves her, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again :)

FAQs for House Sitting - Cumberland Heights
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cumberland Heights on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,505 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cumberland Heights. 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 Heights 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 Heights 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 Heights 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.
