My usual dog sitter wasn’t available, and I needed someone that very day for a last minute trip. Lisa responded immediately, and once I met her I was confident I was leaving Ellie in great hands. She took wonderful care of Ellie on such short notice and was excellent at communicating, sending pictures throughout the stay. Ellie loved playing with Lisa’s dogs and was clearly happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Lisa and will definitely use her again!
Natia was fantastic! She was super easy to coordinate with and I felt very confident that my pup was in great hands. She sent frequent updates throughout the weekend. When we went to pick Baxter up, he didn’t want to leave!! Will absolutely be using Natia in the future
I would definitely recommend Collin. I could tell my puppy was well taken care of and loved in my absence. As a first time dog mom I was very nervous to leave my pup and Collin made things easier for me. He gave me updates, sent pictures and helped ease my worries while away. I plan to use Collin again for my upcoming travel arrangements.
Nancy was wonderful! This was Link’s first time staying with her, and it was obvious from the start how comfortable he was. I think he would have happily stayed longer if he could! Nancy kept me updated with messages and pictures, and every time I heard from her, it looked like Link was having the time of his life. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was happy and so well cared for. I highly recommend Nancy!
Arya is a very attentive, experienced, and caring dog sitter. She took amazing care of my dog, sharing updates throughout the stay and going on lots of walks. My dog can be a bit anxious during stays and Arya quickly made her feel welcome and comfortable in her home. Would very much recommend to anyone looking for pet care.
I couldn't have asked for any better care! My dog was relaxed and happy staying with Joseph and Christine. They gave her the meds she needed and provided love, care, and exercise. In addition, I was provided with daily pictures and updates - more than once a day. Best dog care ever!
We are so grateful to have found Brianna, especially on fairly short notice! From the start, she was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and quick to arrange a meet-and-greet, which gave us great peace of mind. Brianna and her husband took such thoughtful, attentive care of Parker. It was clear they truly cared about her comfort and happiness. Her sweet little dogs were a wonderful bonus - Parker absolutely loves being around smaller dogs and had the best time with them! We especially appreciated how attentive Brianna was to Parker’s special needs. She gets anxious during thunderstorms and just needs lots of cuddles, and Brianna was more than happy to give her the extra comfort and reassurance she needed. Overall, Brianna went above and beyond, and we couldn’t be more appreciative of the care she provided. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and thoughtful dog sitter
Dawn took wonderful care of our puppy, Emi, and made our first Rover experience a great one. She was caring, attentive, and kept us updated throughout Emi’s stay with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Emi was well looked after and comfortable in her care. We truly appreciated Dawn’s communication and the genuine attention she gave to our puppy. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Cornelius can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cornelius home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Cornelius.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Cornelius sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
