“Chloe was great! Our pups warmed up to her nicely. She was very responsive to texts and sent lots of pictures. She was also flexible when I had to adjust the day our housekeeper was coming. I would definitely work with Chloe again.”
“Jillian is amazing! She watched five of our fur-kids, three dogs and two cats, for the week. She sent lots of photos and comments each day. The chiwinnie has a lot of the dachshund attitude and our male cavalier is extremely vocal. Those two are not easy and she handled them beautifully. She is trustworthy, caring and professional. She made going on vacation easy. Thanks Jillian 😊.”
“Cathy is amazing! Highly recommend. We have two spoiled yorkies. Cathy gave them excellent attention and care while we were out of town. She sent us pictures and updates daily. We were able to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our fur babies were in great hands.”
“Alicia is a dream come true pet sitter. These little fur balls are our everything and she treated them as if they were own. We went out on a day trip knowing they were well taken care of. She sent several pictures which made us feel even better. We will definitely be using Alicia again. Thank you Alicia 😊”
“Second time we’ve used Taylor and we plan to many more times. We missed our flight heading home and she stayed longer to look after our pup and we were sooo grateful!”
About: I recently lost my dog of 10 years in March 2026, and I would love to share my love with other lovely fur babies! As a social worker, I know how to care for others, and understand the importance of animals as part of our family and mental well-being, and I treat them as such. I have experience watching all types of pets and experiences with pets who are diabetic or have special medical needs. I'm currently working a flexible job where I am virtual and only come in person a few hours a week. So I can stay the night at your house, or in my own home based on your preference. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to prioritize your pet when needed. I am open to staying at your house overnight, but I can also stay at my own home based on your preference. I have cared for pets living in a house with a yard and without as well as in an apartment in the city. I know that these environments can make pet care different, so I make sure to keep to scheduled walks, potty breaks, playtime, and outside times consistentently.
“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.”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog lover for years—starting with family pets like Golden Retrievers and Shih Tzus. In 2014, I got my own dog, and a year ago, my wife and I welcomed a Bernedoodle, Whiskey, into our home. I’m passionate about giving dogs safe outdoor adventures and lots of love. I also care for other pets—tortoises, lizards, birds—so I’m open to small animal care. While I don’t offer cat-only services, I’m more than happy to care for dogs in cat homes—just no cat cuddles due to allergies. I can’t wait to meet your pup! I have a very reflexive schedule and I can plan my day according to walks or visits. Let’s find the best time for me to come spend time with your dog! I provide drop-in visits and walks only, as my new home is too small for boarding. During visits, I’ll give your dog plenty of attention, playtime, and outdoor exercise, and I’ll follow any care instructions you provide.
About: I've taken care of small to medium sized dogs since I was 12 and love them so dearly! I'd love to taken care of your furry loved one! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available every night, during the weekdays and weekends. I provide a safe, trustworthy, and clean environment where pets receive attentive care, regular supervision, affection, exercise, comfort, enrichment, ensuring they feel secure, happy, and well cared for every day!
“Always love using Emily to watch our pup. She is amazing with communication and we can tell she truly loves pet sitting! We have started booking trips around her availability so we can keep getting the best service.”
“Fantastic home stay experience! We would highly recommend Carley!!! We knew she would be the perfect sitter for our fur baby at our meet & greet! She followed my detailed instructions, sent lots of pictures & videos daily. It was obvious our fur baby adored her by how happy he looked & the fact he gave her lots of kisses. I was getting a little jealous! I cannot thank her enough. It’s such peace of mind to be able to travel & not worry about your fur baby. We highly recommend Carley & will be booking her again.”
“Amber is fantastic! Our dogs might like her more than us! She treats them with do much love and patience, keeps them on schedule and leaves our house just as she finds it.”
“Abby is amazing! She provided consistent updates and pictures while house/cat sitting. I never once felt uneasy or uncomfortable being away from my cats because I knew she was taking such good care of them. Even though my cats were too grumpy to fully engage with Abby, she respected their space and let them work up the courage to approach her. She also left our home very clean and organized. We highly recommend her for some peace of mind. We’re looking forward to booking with her again.”
“Alexis was what I needed!!! She came on time! She did a great job communicating with me! She was very attentive to my fur son! She played with him, gave him attention, and was just there for him overall. She followed my schedule that I left for him, too! She returned my home to me the same way I’d left it for her, which was appreciated. She is truly a sweetheart and my son absolutely adored her! I’m grateful I took a chance, and will continue to use her services again as long as she’s on the platform.”
“Elizabeth watched our 4 pups while we were out-of-state and was absolutely phenomenal! Really the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. Took fantastic care of both the pups and our home! She took time out of her day to take the pups to parks and even to continue working on their training while we were away. Truly loved her and will definitely be using her every time we need a sitter for our pups!”
“Savannah was amazing! She kept me updated with pics and even let the littles sleep in bed with her! She was patient with my stubborn little boy and treated them with so much love and care. Ill definitely be working with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog parent. I have hands-on experience caring for a reactive dog, which has taught me patience, awareness, and how to read canine body language. I understand that every dog has unique needs and comfort levels, and I strive to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for each pet in my care. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. Pet care is a part of my daily routine as I care for my own dog every day. I prioritize walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment activities, and monitoring behavior and well-being. Having a reactive dog has taught me patience, consistency, and the importance of providing a safe and structured environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my home or a client’s home, I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment, closely supervise pets, follow feeding and medication instructions carefully, and provide plenty of exercise, enrichment, and affection. As the owner of a reactive dog, I understand the importance of reading body language, respecting boundaries, and creating a calm, low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s needs.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Cumming is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cumming
Cathy is an absolute gem. From the first meeting with her we knew she would be a perfect fit for our girls. Her love for animals truly shows through when she takes care of Bella and Mia. Being Italian Greyhounds, they can be a bit on the quirky side, but she took it in stride. Her updates and pictures through out the day are above par for any sitter we have had. Looking forward to having Cathy house sit for us again soon.
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!
Tetiana and her husband were wonderful house and pet sitters. They stayed at our house and took care of everything. (Dog, aquarium, mail, plants) We have a dog that is very anxious and Tetiana took great care of her. She sent pictures and videos daily and was quick to respond if I had any questions. The house was tidy when we got home. I will definitely use her in the future.
Chelsie was awesome with our 2 pups! We were across the country for 4 nights & had complete confidence in the care that was being given to our dogs. Chelsie was responsive and sent daily updates with pictures. Our pups can be a little high maintenance (one is reactive & the other is very playful) but she didn’t mind at all. She took great care of our house as well & left everything neat. We are so glad that she was here with them so that we didn’t have to worry while we were gone. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Chelsie again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cumming
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Cumming on Rover is $55.5 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 3,395 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cumming. 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 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 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.
