“Taryn did an awesome job! She was great at communicating with us and sending pictures. She asked smart questions about Mac's needs. She stayed at our home for the week and left the house immaculate. Mac loves her and was very comfortable throughout the week. She even stayed up and comforted him during the 4th of July fireworks. The neighbors noted that she was at the house most of the time and they never heard a peep out of Mac (who tends to bark at the squirrels out back). I would not hesitate to hire her again.”
“Jocelyn took such good care of our fur babies and we got so many pics and updates throughout the weekend. We will definitely entrust her with our fur babies again. Would recommend her to anyone looking!”
“Very appreciative of Timothy dog sitting Lucy on a short notice. Enabled my husband and I to meet a relative for dinner while traveling. Timothy was prompt and friendly. He made sure Lucy was comfortable and had everything she needed and a walk. I would encourage others to hire Timothy to pet set.”
“We were gone for an extended stay and came back to happy pups! Allison was so good with communicating and sending pics that it helped us relax and know they were being well taken care of!! Loved that if she had any questions she asked- She understood their personalities and we had some laughs along the way! Home was well taken care of when we got back! Will definitely be using Allison again!”
“Stacey was awesome! Took great care of 2 needy golden retrievers with care and kindness. Kept me up to date and informed of anything that could be out of the ordinary with the pups. I will definitely ask her to puppy sit again! Thanks so much Stacey! Love, Cece and Steve”
“Natalie agreed to an overnight stay with only 2 days notice and she was wonderful. She is attentive to the pups and shared detailed updates and photos. She was very considerate of the house and cleaned up better than expected. Would definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have about 8 years of hands on pet care experience! I have three dogs of my own and have cared for pets belonging to family and friends, as well as other families. I have experience mainly caring for dogs but also experience with cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs, including feeding, bathing, grooming, administering medication, cleaning cages and litter boxes, walking, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I’ve cared for both young and senior animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get all the care, attention, and cuddles they deserve! I’m currently a college student and am not working another job, so I have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets! I have classes on Mondays from 9:05–11:30 AM, Wednesdays from 9:05 AM–12:00 PM, and Fridays from 9:05 AM–2:15 PM. I’m available all day on Tuesdays and Thursdays, as well as outside of my class hours on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays (and weekends). I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! I always follow each owner’s instructions and make sure every pet receives plenty of love and supervision. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, bathing, grooming, giving medications, and caring for pets of different ages and needs. I’m happy to maintain your pet’s usual routine, provide updates and photos, and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and want you to feel confident knowing your fur baby is in responsible and loving hands!
About: I am currently working part-time at a reputable dog boarding kennel. In this role, I have gained valuable experience in various aspects of dog care, including administering medications, closely monitoring behavior, and providing exceptional care for dogs of all ages and sizes. My dedication and passion for ensuring the well-being of these furry companions have allowed me to develop a deep understanding of their unique needs. I am able to work from home on Mondays through Wednesdays, which allows me the flexibility to balance my responsibilities. On Thursdays through Sundays, I am fully available in between my shifts at the kennel, ensuring that I can handle any tasks or commitments that come my way. This arrangement enables me to efficiently manage my time and fulfill both my work-from-home responsibilities and my duties at the kennel. When I am in your home, you can rest assured that I will go above and beyond to ensure your beloved pet is not only happy and safe but also thoroughly entertained. Your furry friend will be pampered and cared for in the utmost luxury, providing them with the ultimate comfort and peace of mind while you are away.
“Justus did an AMAZING job of watching my 1year old German Shepherd, Violet! She was there for 3 days and she sent tons of photos and updates so I didn't have to worry. She played with her a lot, left my house spotless and was respectful of everything there. I know Violet will love having her back next time I have to go out of town with her. Lastly, if she can handle my puppy and her energy for 3 days.. she can handle anything!”
“Bella did an amazing job! She is a great communicator and went above and beyond my expectations! The dogs absolutely loved her. We will absolutely be reaching out to her again. I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Kirsten stayed at our home for 9 days while we were out of state. We have 2 dogs and 1 cat. She did incredible. This was our first time using Rover for an overnight sitter and I couldn’t give Kirsten a better recommendation. She was wonderful. We will be using her again.”
“Karen did an excellent job caring for our old fur babies. She sent us pictures & updates of how they were doing all week. My house was immaculate when I got home too. We will definitely use her again! Thank you so much for caring for them and keeping them so happy.”
About: I am very versatile. Adaptable. I have always tended to lean toward older dogs and have had older dogs up to age of 18. I have an absolute love of all animals. I work 2 days a week Wed and Friday. Friday is an 8 hour day in Ankeny. I am available after 445 on Fridays. I love all living creatures but I am allergic to cats. I have owned dogs, my last one passed away last year. I am a nurse and am very comfortable giving meds, injections and recognizing illness in dogs. I have done all of these things with past pets and dog sits. It would have to be in clients home. My current living situation does not allow for sitting in my home. I am well traveled and adapt well to many situations. I grew up in Des Moines and am very familiar with the area and surrounding areas.
About: I’ve had dogs for over 15 years and currently have a very friendly golden retriever named Georges (after Georges Niang) who loves to play and a 10 month old kitty who I love more than anything. I’ve cared for puppies and for senior dogs with problems such as blindness and arthritis and diabetes. I’m able to give them any medication required. I am a student athlete here at The University of Montana playing basketball. I will care for cats, dogs or any other animals you might have. I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended for long! Just tell me about their usual day and we’ll make it happen! Looking forward to meeting your furry family member, and I’ll love them like they’re my own! I’m on the University of Montana Women’s basketball team and would love to work around my schedule to help out with your fur babies! In the Missoula areas! Growing up I have always had rescue animals in my home. I will take the same care if not better care of your animals because I know how hard it can be to trust someone to watch after your animals!
“Angie is our go-to sitter. We have a senior dog with special needs and 2 senior cats, one of which takes medication daily. We never feel the need to worry about them when Angie is watching them because we know they are in good hands. Our house is exactly the way it was when we left, if not cleaner when Angie is here.”
“Donna was nice and very easy to work with. She was reliable and on time for both the initial meeting and for the stay so we could leave on time. She did a great job and provided some good updates and pictures of the dogs. Thanks for taking good care of them!”
“Samantha did an awesome job with my male Cane Corso. At 140lbs he requires a sitter who understands large breeds and the additional attention they need for their care. I was very impressed with her communication skills and handling of Kilo. I will be using her the next time I leave town. Great job Samantha!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cumming
Jen watched our dogs and house for five days while we were out of town, and she did an outstanding job, following all dog and house instructions. The dogs were happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of attention. She also took great care of our home. In fact, the house looked even better than when we left! It gave us real peace of mind knowing everything was in such good hands. Highly recommend Jen and would gladly book with her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cumming
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 531 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 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.

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.
