“Suzannah was amazing! Our girls had a blast playing and snuggling. She sent pictures daily which helped a lot and kept us updated regularly. We appreciate her so much!”
“Finding someone to care for our pets and home was genuinely was biggest concern prior to traveling. Gwen was a wonderful sitter and completely took my worries aways. Her attention to detail and flexibility calmed my demanding pets while we were away. I highly recommend Gwen to anyone looking for someone reliable that will ensure your fur babies are cared for, loved and safe. Thank you Gwen!”
“Devin was an EXCELLENT care giver for our 2 pups. We have a very high maintenance labradoodle and sweet mixed breed that she took perfect care of in our home, while we were gone for 5 days. My mixed breed takes allergy medicine also. Devin made sure they were walked, fed, and happy while we were away. We I’ll absolutely be booking with Devin again. Top Knotch Service!!!”
“Our two small dogs loved spending time with Sarah! She did a great job adapting their schedule and left our home looking like she had never been there. We will definitely be using Sarah again, for both daytime as well as time when we are out of town.”
“We had Ridge house sit our 2 dogs for a long weekend! He was great! Communicated well and wanted to make sure our dogs routine was as close to when they are home with us. They loved spending time with him”
“Nina is an absolute gem! We booked her to stay at home with our 12 year old dog Julia for a relatively last minute 3-day trip. Nina was super communicative throughout the entire process, and sent us pictures of Julia every day. Julia was happy and super relaxed when we came home (almost like she had a little vacation of her own with Nina)! And Nina even took out the trash and washed the linens/towels she’d used before heading out (which was absolutely not an expectation that I had, but totally appreciated, and is just further proof of what a considerate person she is). I’d absolutely rebook Nina to take care of our old lady Julia in a heartbeat and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to help care for their furry loved ones!”
“Grace cared for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away for a long weekend. During our meet and greet, Grace loved on our dogs and we were confident she would do a great job caring for them. We came back to an orderly house and happy animals!”
“I will be rebooking with Mary for our dogs! She was prompt and reliable and quick to communicate. She also went above and beyond when my dog needed a scheduled vet appointment that was needed weeks after we made the booking. I am so grateful that she could accommodate my dog's need and was willing to be her escort to the doctor. Thank you so much! Sophie and Penny will see you soon!”
“Genesis was excellent! Great communication, kept us updated, and took great care of our pets. Our home was clean and well-maintained when we returned. Highly recommend!”
“Jen was awesome!! She house sat for 5 days and followed the schedule I left for my two fur babies. Both dogs are large dogs and she walked them every day without hesitation! They were happy and very well taken care of. I was able to relax and not worry because Jen would send text and pictures daily letting me know what was going on. I will definitely be using her again. Thanks Jen!”
“Caleb is always so good with our 2 dogs and our cat. He sends plenty of photos and messages throughout the day that ensures us that our animals are in good hands. He is always very flexible with scheduling and always makes his stays work for our schedule. We come home to our house being cleaner than we left it. I can’t recommend Caleb enough and will continue to book him in the future!”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs since I was a kid, and now at age 45, you could definitely do worse for someone to take care of your pup. I am available for boarding, house sitting (dependent upon the situation), doggy daycare and/or walks. As a retiree, I have all of the time needed to properly care for your pet. I am currently a dog owner, so your pup will have company. I have a large, fenced in yard, with plenty of shade. I primarily keep my dog in the home, so your pup will have as much time in or outside as he/she prefers.
“Madolyn was a joy to work with from beginning to end. She came to meet our furry family not once but twice to make sure they were comfortable with her. She was quick to respond, easy to talk to and she gave me one less thing to stress out about during the holidays! She left our home just as she found it and our pets were happy and healthy when we arrived home. 10 out of 10!! I will absolutely use her again and recommend her to anyone I meet. Thank you Madolyn for being such an incredible sitter.”
“Brandt is an absolute professional when it comes to dog sitting. He consistently delivers top-notch care for our dog, taking our dog’s individual quirks, personality traits, likes, and dislikes into consideration to ensure everything is taken care of. Other reviews have mentioned this, but Brandt’s communication and problem-solving are unmatched. He is honest, hardworking, flexible, and he responds incredibly well to feedback. We are new to the area and this was our first time both using Rover and having a dog sitter stay in our home, but Brandt could not have made the experience more positive. Will (and already have) booked him for upcoming trips and could not recommend him more!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since early childhood. Between walking, feeding, and playing, I’ve cared for pups since I can remember. I have two mix breed babies at home. I am a writer with an 11 year old child. So taking your pets for a walk would be a nice break in my day! I have a large yard, and two medium sized fur dogs that love to play. I can also keep them separate if need be or even crate.
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals and breeds since I was a young girl. I love all animals and always have had a great bond with them. If you choose me your dog won’t only be well feed, clean and active. They will also be very very happy. I love spending my days surrounded by adorable pets. I am available during the week anytime. I am the boss of my own travel agency so I do work mostly at home. So I will still be able to provide your fur baby with everything they need. I tend to not get much sleep on a regular basis so your fur baby will be constantly looked after. I actually have my own fur baby’. Onyx and Phoenix are my pride and joy and so is taking care of your baby. They love making new friends and playing all day. I’ll always treat your baby as if he or she was my baby.

We reached out to Dylan on short notice for a weekend, and she was absolutely fantastic! She took great care of our fur baby, sending regular updates and adorable photos that gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Our pup looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. Dylan was professional, reliable, and genuinely kind. We’ll definitely be booking with her again if ever in a pinch—highly recommend!
This is our second time having Sarah stay at our home with Beau. She takes great care of him and I feel good knowing he’s with her. He got great exercise that he needs and was happy and well-cared for when we got home. We Will be using her whenever we go out of town.

FAQs for House Sitting - Lake Cumberland West
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Lake Cumberland West on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 306 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Lake Cumberland West. 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 Lake Cumberland West 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 Lake Cumberland West 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 Lake Cumberland West 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Lake Cumberland West. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
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.
