“We could not recommend Bri enough to anyone needing their pets looked after while away! Bri was not only able to accommodate our last minute request when our family had to go out of town, but she was incredible with our dogs! Between daily message and photo updates of the pups, we could not have asked for anything else to feel more comfortable leaving our dogs back home. We will happily be using her again in the future!!”

About: My name is Ashley. I currently work in healthcare and looking to make some extra money. I always had dogs growing up from extra small to extra large dog. I am a cat mom of 2! I also have experience with farm animals! I currently work full time in healthcare in Pittsboro NC. During the week I am unavailable unless it’s walking your pet after work. I get off around 5pm!

“William is absolutely amazing! We have 3 very high energy dogs with a very strict routine. William followed their routine without flaw and was more than just “watching them”. He sent photos upon arrival, throughout the stay, and before leaving. His communication was timely and clear. We will be booking with William again because he is someone we know we can trust with our pups and they enjoyed him. Even our very picky cat took to William right away!”

“Savanna stayed in our house for 10 days and took excellent care of Gemma! She followed our instructions perfectly and made sure that Gemma got all of the walks, care, and attention that she needed. We would definitely use her again and appreciate how well she looked after our furry baby!”

About: I have had dogs since I was eight years old! When it comes to family and friends, I have had the opportunity to dog sit and care for their pets whenever they need!

I am also available on the weekends for the majority of the day! I have a fenced in backyard along with 2 large breed dogs who live with me!

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have one of my own, I am great at being active with them and would love to dog sit or dog walk for you. I have plenty of references, and would love to watch your dog babies and treat them like my own for how every long you need. I currently work part time so I have lots of time to spend with your animals and can stay with them as much as they need! We have a big fenced in area for our dogs, and take them on car rides and to the dog park, they love being outside!
“Charlotte was professional, fun, and so sweet with the dogs. She listened to our details and sent us pictures and notes so we would not worry. Our pups loved her! Highly recommend her and will ask her to sit again!!”

“Carrie stayed with our dog, who has medical issues, for several days. Carrie send updates and pictures of Penny, which allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying. We came home to a clean house and a happy dog!”

About: I've had animals in my house for over 20 years. Spanninng a cockatiel, a cat, five dogs and my clown fish who are going on 18 years old. Once, I drove the bird into the Tuft's vet school in a blizzard on a weekend night. Another time I took one of the clown fish into the Tufts satellite clinic on a Sunday because he hadn't eaten for days. Both pets lived to tell their tale. Cats are great, I love how they set the rules :) But dogs are where my heart is, especially Airedales, and rescue dogs are a labor of love! My priorities start with my pet family, unless I'm taking care of yours. Then, your pets become my priority. I work from home most of the time and that allows me to have the ultimate flexibility in my schedule so that I can care for your pets as appropriate, on their time. I've raised my dog training game significantly over the past few years, attending regular sessions with my trusted trainer, Baptiste. Our work has focused on highly reactive dogs and also puppy training. Like kids, pets can do no wrong. I do not get upset with them, I just clean the mess ;)
“Kiera did a fantastic job house sitting our 2 puppies and 1 older dog! She was extremely professional and organized. She thought of creative ways to engage the puppies and loved on our golden. We will book her again!! 10/10”

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Mae! She watched our Kingston this weekend while we took a short trip, and we were beyond impressed with the level of care, professionalism, and love she showed from start to finish. Mae stayed in our home, and from the moment she arrived, we could tell she genuinely cared about Kingston’s happiness and our peace of mind. She was incredibly respectful of our home everything was exactly as we left it. She followed routines perfectly, kept us updated throughout the weekend with thoughtful messages and pictures, and made sure Kingston felt loved and comfortable while we were away. It was such a relief knowing he was in his own environment, receiving one-on-one attention and care. When we returned home, Kingston was happy, and clearly well taken care of. As protective pet parents, finding someone we fully trust is no small thing, but Mae exceeded every expectation. We will absolutely be using Mae again for future trips. She’s responsible, kind, trustworthy, and treats Kingston as if he were her own. We truly couldn’t ask for a better sitter she will always be our go-to from here on out!”

“Brooke is responsive and nice! She did a great job taking care of our girl, Sadie Mae. my only feedback to her would be to send more updates with pictures too! 5 star service besides that, thanks Brooke.”

About: Hello! My name is Isabel and I'm a Research Coordinator in the Psychiatry Department at UNC. I have taken care of animals for years. Have watched dogs, cats, and birds. Feel free to reach out and I can provide more information! I can watch your pets overnight at my house or at yours if you prefer. Have a lot of availability in the evenings and on weekends. I'm very flexible when it comes to how you'd like your pet to be watched. Every animal is different and has a unique set of needs.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and currently have two French toy poodles of my own. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, including puppies and older dogs that need extra patience and attention. I genuinely love spending time with animals and always make sure dogs feel safe, comfortable, cared for, and well loved while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student attending school in New York and I’m home for the summer working part time. Because of that, I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. When I’m not working, I’m usually available before or after shifts and can work around most schedules with good communication. I always prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for dogs in both my home and a client’s home. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions, medications, and any behaviors or needs each dog may have. I make sure dogs are supervised, secure during walks, and comfortable in their environment at all times. I also believe communication is important, so I like keeping owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pets are safe and doing well.
“I am so thankful that I found JR to take care of my precious pup! I’ve always been able to leave her with family or friends and neighbors when away from home so this was the first time having someone else take care of her. And I couldn’t have found anyone better than JR. She bonded quickly with my dog and they had a great time together. Always updated me with great photos and updates and took great care of the house as well. I just hope she’s available next vacation!”

FAQs for House Sitting - Cumnock
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of June 2026, there are 1,239 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cumnock. 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 Cumnock 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 Cumnock 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 Cumnock 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.
