“It was our first time having Karissa watch our girls. She was very attentive to our instructions and responded very quickly to any questions we had. She kept us apprised of how our girls were doing with lots of pictures. The girls seemed very happy and well taken care of. We’ll definitely reach out to Karissa for future dog sitting needs.”
“Last minute vacation and we found Annie. Couldn’t be more pleased!!! She is reliable, communicates well and provided regular feedback! Annie played a lot of fetch with our 2 young labs which they love. Kept the boys happy while we’re out of town. Thanks Annie!”
“Kayla is so wonderful. She is dependable and I always come home to happy animals. I’ve used her 3x so far and hope she will always be available to housesit my fur babies when I’m out of town. She also takes the best pictures of them! So happy to have found her.”
“We had Mackenzie watch Jasmine and Rudy for a day, as a trial for a longer stay later on. We are super happy with both Mackenzie's care for the doggos and also her responsiveness and communication with us. She followed our instructions thoroughly, kept us updated, and responded promptly when we reached out. Thank Mackenzie!”
About: Hi there! My name is Eliana and I am currently in my third year of university. Unfortunately, I have never had a pet dog myself because my parents never let me. However, I have experience taking care of pets that my friends have or have had in the past. I love pets but am unable to have one of my own. I have very good time management skills, I am incredibly organized, and I am very caring by nature. I love animals because they are loyal and always provide us with a sense of calm. They also have an endless supply of love that keeps us cheered up. I would love to care for your furry best friend. I look forward to meeting you and your furry little one.
“Tetiana is wonderful- so kind and so responsive. Our pups had a great time. She put us at ease with videos and keeping us up to date with how they were. We are so grateful for her!”
About: Over the last 20 years I have dog sat for my brother and a couple friends. I would let the dogs out to play, potty, feed them etc. My brother also has cats and a fish tank as well. I have had dogs and cats since I was a little girl. Right now I have a hound mix that is 100 pounds and his name is Logan. I will treat your furry friend like my own and love on them as well. I love animals in general. I believe every animal deserves to be cared for wit love, respect, and dignity. They are like humans they have feelings as well. I would love to help you and your family out with your furry friend. You can reach out to me anytime. I currently have a 100 pound hound mix who i absolutely love. He is five years old and five months. He took some time to get used to us as a puppy as we think he was abused. I take him for walks, let him out back and stay with him, and play with him with his favorite toy(tennis balls) I have grown up with animals my entire life. Dogs, cats, upon many others. I have also watched animals for friends and family. I will treat anyone's animals with love. I have a fenced in backyard I let my dog out in. I'm constantly outside with him playing and loving on him to make sure he is safe from anything that will hurt him. I take him on walks in my subdivision to give him a little more exercise. When someone needs to me watch their pet I am letting them out back to play while remaining outside with them and making sure they have fresh air. I will also do daily walks when needed.
“Sharon brought deep care and a lot of fun to our two dogs! I couldn’t be more grateful for her help and the attention she gave to every detail. She has a kind, professional rhythm that takes all the stress out of being away from home.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 15 years old. My mom is vet so I have taken care of a bunch of her clients dogs. I have also taken care of a lot of my family friends dogs as well as my neighbors. I currently do not have a job outside of this so I will be able to be home with your pets full time including weekends. I live on a farm and have a big fenced yard so your dogs will have a bunch of yard space to run around. I have 1 very friendly dog so your dog will have another one to play with. I have big and small crates if your dog needs to be crated for whatever reason. My mom is also a vet and will be home with me in case your dog has any sort of emergency.
“My wife and I had the opportunity to take a 3 1/2 week trip out of the country. We weren’t sure what to do with our fur babies because it was too long to put either of them in a kennel. We looked at Rover‘s website and found Jenna who agreed to watch our fur babies in our home for the duration of our trip. Our beagle is a rescue who has a number of special needs due to abuse as a puppy. Jenna did a wonderful job of watching both our beagle and our kitty cat for the time we were gone. It’s obvious Jenna loves animals and we will certainly book her again if we ever need to leave town for an extended period. We highly recommend Jenna as that only a pet sitter, but a house sitter as well.”
“Landry is wonderful! She was amazing with our Maltese and took great care of our home too. She's a great communicator and responds quickly to messages and also sent great photos.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Angie! She kept our home very clean and well taken care of while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Most importantly, she took incredible care of all of our animals. She spent as much time with them as possible, made sure our dogs got plenty of outside time, and kept their routines consistent. We also loved receiving daily picture updates, which made being away from them so much easier. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely trust her with our home and pets again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾”
About: I’ve been caring for pets since high school and bring decades of hands‑on experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. I’ve cared for puppies/kittens, seniors, given diabetes shots, changed diapers, and handled everything from Sheepdogs to Chihuahuas. I have two small, friendly dogs, a senior cat, and a fully fenced backyard. If your pet is dog‑and cat‑friendly, I’m happy to host them short‑ or long‑term. I truly love animals of all kinds. I am happy to come over and check on your baby, take them for a walk (or stroll), throw a ball or play light flashing, or even daycare for them at my home. I work from home all but two days a week and can modify that as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule. I have a fenced in yard and am able to care for your baby as needed. My job is flexible so I am able to take breaks and work my around your schedule.
About: I have been blessed to have the opportunity to care for dozens of breeds of dogs throughout my life. Many of whom, were my own. I provide a safe, clean home for your loved one(s). Rest assured that I will ONLY care for your family member(s)during contract dates. No need to worry about them receiving sub par care in a dirty, frightening "kennel park". Only love and space to run around here. I work independently so I can arrange my schedule to accommodate most needs. I am never farther than a few miles from my home near post rd. I have a fenced in back yard , and a beagle, Sadie She likes other animals, but I can keep her separate also. I will only take 1 family's pets at once.
“Dana was absolutely outstanding and I will 100% use her again for my pet sitting needs. She sent me pictures, updated me and took excellent care of my fur baby. If you want to know that your pet is in good hands, I highly recommend using Dana!”
About: I grew up with a poodle and later was closely involved in a household that cared for a large number of show dogs in a structured, organized setting. This gave me strong experience with daily routines, behavior, and maintaining a calm, well-managed environment. Now I have a retired Shiba Inu — the friendliest you’ll meet. I work from home, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision and regular care throughout the day. Dogs follow a predictable routine with potty breaks every 2–4 hours, quiet indoor time, and outdoor time in a secure fenced yard. Your dog will stay in a clean, calm home with a fenced yard and a safe, structured environment. I keep the number of dogs limited to maintain a low-stress atmosphere and avoid overcrowding. Dogs are supervised, and I follow consistent routines to help them feel secure. For everyone’s safety, I accept calm, well-mannered dogs and recommend a meet & greet before first bookings. Crating can be used if needed, depending on the dog’s habits and comfort.

My pet absolutely loved Cathy! Cathy followed all my instructions carefully and sent me lots of pictures and detailed updates which we greatly appreciated. My dog is blind so Cathy was extra patient, loving and kind. We will definitely book with her again and I strongly recommend Cathy to any pet owners especially if pets have any special needs or accommodations. Thanks for taking care of my pet, Cathy!
Yana is fantastic with our two pups. She prioritizes them while she stays and sends lots of pictures. She walks the pup that wants a walk, and is very communicative if anything is even just a little off. She also handles medicine and taking care of the pups even if they are in a cone/need some extra love. We highly recommend Yana if you’re in need of someone!

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 Cumming 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 Cumming 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 Cumming 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 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.
