“We really love Jessica and she takes good care of our fur babies! We have a 7 year old foxhound a 7 month old new lab/beagle mix puppy at our house and she took on both last week, and they just loved having her here! She always sends us updates and photos and I feel very at ease when we are out of town and she is here. Highly recommend.”
“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!”
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.
“Isabella did a great job. Good communication, very responsive, took great care of our dog, and the house was extremely clean and tidy when we returned. I would highly recommend her and hope we can book with her again in the future”
“Yasmin took amazing care of our sweet girl for 5 days. She was meticulous and adjusted to exactly how we needed Juniper cared for. She sent updates every few hours and made me feel at ease being away.”
“This was my first time with Molly watching the boys. She was awesome! She sent so many pictures and videos which was great, I could tell that they were comfortable with her. She even let them sleep with her and hog the bed! I had several issues with my flights and she was more than willing to be on standby if I didn’t make it home on time. I’ll definitely use Molly again in the future 🌟”
“Aaliyah was so sweet and took great care of our dog! She regularly sent updates and photos, and left our home cleaner than it was when she got there. I cannot recommend her enough!!”
About: I used to walk a Yellow Lab when her owner broke her arm. I have volunteered at the ARL and was in the "walking the pavement" program. I am currently looking for a PT job so I have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I love walking dogs and playing catch with them My cat is very friendly and loves everyone! She makes friends with other animals easily. She was best friends with my Boxer until her passing. I live in a Condo so I don't have a private backyard but am willing to stay in your home
“Amina did a great job watching my two pups and my daughter’s dog. She sent updates daily along with pictures. The dogs were cuddled in right by her side, so I know they loved her. I will be contacting Amina in the future for dog sitting needs. :)”
“Allison was great!! We have an anxious large Retriever and we came home to a happy content boy! The house was cleaner then when we left and we got so many cute photos and updates. Very happy with Allison and highly recommend!”
“Stacey takes great care of our dogs. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or house sitting, I never have to worry about them. They always get plenty of pets, play time, and snuggles.”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and can’t imagine a home without them! I am a huge animal lover. We currently have three of our own, so I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. I bring years of personal experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra love and patience. I’m confident in administering medications, sticking to established routines, and making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I treat every animal like my own and aim to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. I work from home and a flexible schedule, so your furry kiddo will get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on weekends and during the week as needed. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll be there to make sure your dog feels happy and cared for. I always supervise outdoor time, and I can easily crate your pup if that’s part of their routine. Our home is clean, pet-safe, and calm - perfect for helping dogs feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I treat all pets like my own and make sure their specific needs and routines are followed closely.
About: I thrive on routines, keep things clean, and pay attention to the details that matter, feeding schedules, meds, quirks, energy levels. I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy dogs that need real exercise to older dogs that want consistency and patience, I have one of each myself. You’ll get clear updates, photos, and honest communication, no guessing. If your dog needs structure and calm energy, we’ll get along well. I work from home when I’m not traveling, so your dog isn’t sitting alone all day. My dogs rotate between lounging inside and playing in the yard, with built-in lunch and evening walks. I keep a steady routine and can adjust to match yours, feeding times, meds, exercise, whatever your dog is used to. If I’m traveling, I block availability. Fully fenced yard, dog-friendly home, and two well-socialized dogs if your pup likes company. I’m comfortable with crate routines if that’s what your dog knows. I keep a clean, structured environment and separate dogs when needed based on energy or temperament. I also have a 7-year-old who is around at times, respectful, supervised, and good with dogs. If your dog isn’t comfortable with kids, just say so and I’ll plan accordingly. Clear communication, consistent care, and safety first, always.
“Great communication and daily photos/videos. This was our first time leaving our dog, so she didn't eat for the first day we were gone. We collaborated on some problem solving, and she decided she could eat again with the help of some peanut butter. House was well cared for, as well.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 524 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.
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.
