About: Whether you’re at work or away for the day, you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring, reliable hands. I absolutely love animals and have more than 15 years of experience in animal rescue, puppy fostering, pet sitting, and dog ownership. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs, from newborn puppies to senior dogs and pets requiring medication. My mother was a vet tech, and I grew up helping her care for various animals. Today, I care for my own rescue dog with special medical needs, giving me firsthand experience with detailed care routines. I’ll treat your pet like family and send plenty of photos and detailed updates so you know they’re safe and happy! I specialize in weekday visits, typically between 9am and 3pm. I’d love to help make sure your pets are cared for and super happy while you’re away! I carefully follow all instructions, pay close attention to each pet’s unique needs, and provide detailed updates so you know your pet is in good hands.
“Karley is a wonderful and flexible sitter. She took great care of our pup despite having to deal with the constant rainy and stormy weather. This is our second or third time booking Karley and will definitely reach out to her again.”
“Nancy was extremely accommodating & a pleasure to deal with. We had lots of questions and she graciously answered every one of them without delay. Thank you Nancy for going above & beyond for us.”
“Fantastic experience! Extremely punctual, professional, and respectful from start to finish. My pets were well cared for, and communication was great throughout. Highly recommend!”
“Renee is amazing with my pup and so on the ball with all of the details! I know my pup loves having her here and will always be booking with Renee when she’s available.”
“Mary does a wonderful job with Oliver my great orange tabby. He loves her especially when she plays with him and gives him treats. He’s always calm when I come home and is not at all stressed. Thanks Mary! We love you.❤️🐾”
“We’re so thankful for the love and care Rosa gave our pups while we were away! It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in great hands. Thank you for treating them like your own we’d absolutely book you with them again in a heartbeat!”
“She is amazing with our pups. Shows them lots of love, good at updating and sending photos. Gives medication to our senior pup as well. This was a last minute drop in and she was able to see the babies!”
“We so appreciated being able to entrust our kitty to Jessica-it gave us such a peace of mind while away to get updates and photos from Jessica! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!”
“We had another fantastic experience! Maura did an excellent job checking on and feeding our cat while we were out of town. Communication was great, everything was done exactly as instructed, and it gave us real peace of mind knowing our cat was well cared for. We will continue to trust her again and highly recommend.”
About: Growing up I have had dogs and always been around dogs. I recently had to put my dog down but she was epileptic and needed a lot of love and care so I am use to that as well. I love to see the smiles and tail wiggles! Being self-employed gives me the flexibility to spend lots of quality time with your fur babies, ensuring they receive consistent care, love, and companionship while you're away. I know how important pets are—they're family. I'll make sure they stick to their normal routine, get plenty of attention, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax while you're away.
“Marcia was so sweet to the kitties. My boy cats are very shy and both of them were out visiting with her on the very first visit. She followed all of my directions and made sure to spend time with them so they know they are being looked after. Will definitely ask for her service again. Thank you!”
“Lisa was incredible with our dog who can be reactive and anxious. We did a meet & greet and all went well. We have just returned from a 4 day trip and we are sure our dog is happier and more content than when we left. It appears that Lisa gave her lots of love, walks and even played pet calming music on our TV. I would highly recommend her to anyone, but especially if you have a dog that can be tempermental. Lisa is nututring and reliable. We will definietly be return customers.”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover who has experience with dogs of every stripe! From the gentle giant St. Bernard to the spunky rescue Chihuahua, I've had experience caring for (and loving) dogs of every size, age, & breed. After growing up surrounded by cats & dogs, I adopted my own senior rescue pup, Missy Elliot, about 10 years ago. Missy crossed the rainbow bridge back in April but she created a soft spot in my heart for Senior dogs and I would love nothing more than to spend some time taking your senior on leisurely walks with plenty of time to sniff. At the same time, I would also love taking a younger pup to the park & working with them on how to sit! I am currently between positions and so, starting mid-July, my calendar is wide open. I have a few scattered trips in late August, but otherwise I am free. As the mom of a pup myself, I am very attuned to the specific needs of each dog or cat. I do my best to integrate myself into the pet's best schedule and I stay in consistent communication with you to check in. Plus, I try to send at least two pictures/updates a day so you can be sure your fur baby is in good hands!
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life! I grew up with 2 labs and then later on adopted 2 beautiful huskies. Over time I have learned that every dog has a unique personality, energy level, and routine, so I take the time to get to know each one and provide care that's tailored to their needs. I'm comfortable with administering oral medications when needed, maintaining feeding and exercise schedules, and providing plenty of love! I also keep pet parents informed with regular updates, photos, and messages so they can feel confident their dog is happy and safe while they're away. I currently work part time for a coffee shop. I mainly work afternoons so I’ll be able to visit your babies once to twice in the morning/ early afternoon and then again in the evening when I get off! I currently live in an apartment with a small dog and a cat. We keep doors locked/ closed to prevent the cat from slipping out. I take out my small dog regularly for potty breaks and walks around the neighborhood. We use our dog park to let our dog interact with others. They both get lots of interaction and have so so many toys!
About: I’m a brand new sitter on the Rover app and I’m excited to be here! I have a lifetime of hands-on experience with animals of all sizes and personalities. Growing up, I was always the go-to pet sitter for friends and neighbors, and I spent years volunteering at animal shelters. For the past 10 years, my home has been a bustling, happy multi-pet household with four rescue fur babies of my own: two cats and two large dogs (a Doberman and a Greyhound). I no longer have animals in my house and I’d love to transition my love for animals to your household. Your babies will be loved, protected, and cared for with the exact same utmost attention I gave my own. I am familiar with caring for dogs who struggle with anxiety and aggression, having managed these traits with my own sweet Dobie. I work remotely Monday-Friday with open weekends. My daily work schedule is very flexible for drop-ins and walks at any time of the day. I also have a car, so I can get to you easily without issues! My top priority when caring for your pets in their own home is maintaining the safety, structure, and daily routines they depend on. I know that welcoming a new sitter requires a high level of trust, which is why I approach every visit with absolute respect and professionalism. I am highly organized, follow all care instructions exactly as written, and will make sure your pets are showered with the attention and affection they deserve.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Cornelius
Makenna helped us with last minute drop in visits for our cat while we were away for the weekend. She took great care of our cat for us and made sure to send daily updates with pictures. We returned home to a happy and healthy cat. We highly recommend her services.
Marcia is simply the best—there’s a reason we keep coming back to her again and again. Finding someone you trust with your pets (and your home) is no small thing, and with Marcia, that trust comes easily. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring, and it shows in every interaction.
Jessica is great. I have two cats and one of them is very shy and the other one is outgoing. They both loved her and I loved that in one of Jessica’s pictures. She actually got a picture of my shy cat rubbing up against her.😻 my cats are very good at judging good people
Sherry took care of our little kitty INCREDIBLY! Our kitty was struggling with a sickness and needed some additional support with wiping her nose and Sherry was more than happy to take care of her needs and she gave us consistent updates on our kitty’s symptoms while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter 😊
I met Michelle before she started watching my girls and I was sure we would get along. She loves animals and it shows immediately. She was great at letting me know how the cats were doing every visit and I loved the pics. Jill is a bit more shy but when she finally came out to meet who was feeding her it was all over for me. Jillie talking to me on a video sold me on Michele forever. I’ll be using her again. Thank you so much

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Cornelius on Rover is $21 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
