“Suzanne was lovely! She was able to help us last minute and did a wonderful job! She stayed in touch the whole time and sent update pictures! She even helped with some dishes and laundry!”
“I have used Jenna several times, and Bailey just loves her to come stay with her. He is always happy when I come home and very well taken care of. Thank you so much Jenna.!”
“Darrius did a great job with our pups. One is very prickly and needs medicine. He did a great job of making sure she took her medication which is our main concern. He also let our bigger dog take his time outside even when the weather wasn't great. We will definitely use him again.”
“Lanette took wonderful care of my two pups! She was very accommodating- One of our dogs is very protective of me and doesn't get along with new people for a while, but Lanette did come over a few times before the stay to help get him more comfortable with her. During the stay our protective little pup came out of his shell, fell in love, and wouldn't leave her alone! She was very patient with him and that was exactly what he needed! We got lots of pictures and videos, which was very comforting for my boyfriend and I. We highly recommend Lanette!”
About: I've I've been fortunate to have had many animal companions throughout my life, growing up with both dogs and cats from the age of four. 🥰 Through caring for family and friends' pets over the years, I've gained experience with a variety of sizes, breeds, and personalities, including puppies and seniors. Availability 🗓️ I currently have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily work around your individual needs and fur baby's routine any day of the week : ) Booking With Me 🌟 You can expect plenty of playtime and snuggles to help ease your pets' time away from you, and I'm always happy to send regular photo & video updates so you can stay connected. ♥️ I'll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own.
“Jasmine took great care of our 3 pets over a holiday weekend and we will definitely book again! She shared plenty of pictures and updates that provided peace of mind while we were away. Nothing but good things to say about her!”
“Absolutely sweetheart!! I trusted her with my two polar opposite dogs and she did absolutely amazing!! Stayed with them all day so they didn’t have to be in a cage all day. She was very responsive and send updates throughout the day. 10/10 would recommend and rebook again!!”
“Nelson was great with my pups! They had a great time. He updated me frequently with pictures. He even set up a kennel for me and cleaned up before he left. I will use Nelson again!”
About: I have an exceptional talent in making each and every canine and feline feel happy and loved. They thrive under my care, and love individual attention and understanding. Pet care is second nature to me, and fits extremely well with my current lifestyle of working part time and living in a retirement community. Pets cared for in my home are well loved and get lots of attention. I walk dogs regularly, and am exceptional at playing with and caring for them. I am in the backyard with them whenever they go outside.
“Kaitlyn was an absolute gem and made our weekend away completely stress-free! From the very first update, it was clear she truly cared about our dog and gave him the best possible time. She sent the sweetest, most detailed reports with adorable photos throughout the day. She went above and beyond, keeping him on a great routine and picking up after him so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. It’s obvious Kaitlyn is caring and responsible, and we felt like he was in the very best hands the entire time. We can’t recommend her enough! Thank you, Kaitlyn, for taking such wonderful care of our dog 💙”
“Nicole rocks! Not only was she a great caretaker for our two (higher energy) dogs while we were out of town, but she was also really responsive and helpful when we ended up having some scheduling changes with delayed flights. It can be so stressful leaving your home and fur family to a person you don’t know well, but Nicole eased all of our anxieties and our girls loved her! She will definitely be my first call the next time we need some help.”
“Jasmin has watched our dogs before and she always does such a great job. One of our dogs is on a raw diet with probiotics galore and she does great with all the instructions. Such a lifesaver to have her stay in our house as our senior dog has never stayed anywhere else. We are blessed to have found her as our go-to gal! She gets our mail and keeps our plants alive which is just an added bonus! Thank you!”
“Claudia is wonderful! She dog sat for us overnight in our home. She was professional, polite, caring, and responsible! Will definitely reach out to her again for future dog sitting!”
“Sherine did a fantastic job! Our cat and dog are happy and well fed and cared for. Sherine did extra things around the house and was very communicative and thoughtful I would have her again anytime! Many thanks”
About: My dogs are like my children, We've had Comet for 10 years and Bruno is our new wonderful addition. Our house is doggie proof, I enjoy going on walks around our neighborhood, playing with toys, and spending time together snuggling. I live in a beautiful area near Pecan Grove. Our community is new and pet friendly neighborhood. I have enough space in my backyard to play and have fun with your dog. I live in a two story house with a lot of space to take care of your doggie. I have 2 teenagers, boy and girl. My son LOVES dogs and dogs LOVE him! He is a dog magnet. He is thinking of becoming a vet or having his own pet business :-). I am a teacher so I am home all day during the summer break.
About: What sets me apart is my expertise in both puppy training and senior dog care, ensuring personalized attention at every stage of your dog’s life. Reliable care with a focus on your dog’s comfort and well-being. Whether it's energetic walks or low-impact exercise, I tailor my services to suit your dog’s unique needs. As a part-timer, I carefully schedule pet care around my other commitments, ensuring flexibility to accommodate each pet's needs. I prioritize consistency and quality, fitting in walks, playtime, and care sessions throughout my week. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of playtime, exercise, and personalized attention. I maintain a routine that includes feeding, training, and rest. When caring for pets in clients' homes, I follow their specific instructions to maintain the pet's usual routine. This includes walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care requirements, ensuring the pet feels secure and comfortable in their own space.
About: I have loved all sorts of animals - from birds, cats, dogs and fish to more exotic animals like hedgehogs and various reptiles. I’ve owned and cared for many different types of animals, always striving to provide the very best living conditions as possible. As a dog care specialist in the past at a previous job, caring for man's best friend is basically second nature for me. . I love our four legged, friends and treat each one I encounter as my own. I continued my love for animals and I am now a Dog Groomer in Houston over 7 years now! I look forward to meeting some precious pups and kitties and hope to see yours soon! I work Tuesday through Friday as a dog groomer, but I do also leave my job at a decent time that if I need to watch your pet Friday evenings, I can. I am available usually all weekend and Mondays and can easily care for your baby full-time. I have an outdoor dog run that is fenced in and secure so the dog will be safe. While outside your pup will always be leashed up, and if your furry friend needs to be crated, I can do that as well for you.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cumings
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cumings on Rover is $72.15 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 2,812 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cumings. 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 Cumings 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 Cumings 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 Cumings 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Cumings. On Rover:
- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
