“Kim S. Did such a fantastic job boarding our baby for 10 nights! I couldn’t be happier with her service! Our Mozzie was so well cared for and had so much fun with her other pups I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home 😉 Thank you Kim for loving our boy while we were gone. He can’t wait for us to go on another trip so he can stay with you!”
“Margaret took great care of our senior golden. He got to go for long walks and play with her sweet dog. I don’t think I he wanted to come home! We will gladly ask to to care for our pup again in the future.”
“Ashley, did take really good care of our Mari for the entire time we have been out of the country! She updated me whit messages and pictures frequently and I felt really good that she was always available. 100% recommend Ashley for top notch dog sitting!”
“It was our first time boarding Jason, and also a first experience with Lipika. She has been incredible in taking care of Jason. We were a bit apprehensive since Jason feels anxious around new people and Lipika was kind enough to do a meet and greet before the boarding. Jason settled in over the next few days . She took him out for his daily walks and gave his meals/treats as we had mentioned. He had lots of play time and looked happy when we came to pick him up. The best part was that everyday we received multiple videos and pictures of him and round the day updates, which made this entire boarding period stress free for both me and my wife. We will definitely love to avail boarding sessions with Lipika in future and recommend her to everyone looking for a caring person to keep your pets with.”
“I can't say enough good things about Katie! From the moment we met, I could tell my dog was in great hands. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and caring dog sitter.”
“Megan was great. Our mini schnauzer has a high level of separation anxiety. It was important that she not be left for hours everyday. Megan was excellent about sending updates. It was obvious our mini was well cared for. Will definitely use again.”
“Caitlin made us feel at ease as we had to travel out of country for 10 days. She communicated with us by daily texts and photos/videos. She's a huge five star and we will love a chance to work again! Thank you!!”
“Anamika always takes such wonderful care of our little Rocky. She always goes out of her way to make sure to send us pictures and updates every day. He is well taken care of and has fun playtime with other well behaved dogs. I highly recommend!”
“Lisa was amazing with our boy. Maverick had the absolute best time with her dogs and i don’t think wanted to leave when we came to get him! She was flexible to set up a meet and greet on such short notice and work with our pick up and drop off times. We will definitely be going to Lisa first if we ever need dog sitting again.”
“Another great experience with Leslie looking after my 2yr old dog. Great communication, sends video and picture updates, and gives Scotti tons of care and attention. I will continue to work with Leslie and highly recommend.”

About: I’ve cared for many dogs/pets over the past seven years. I have a pup of my own, and understand the importance of trusting who is watching your fur friends. My work schedule has many gaps throughout the day where I am home, making flexibility easily attainable. This ensures I can give adequate attention to your pet. Due to not having a fenced in yard I take my pup for numerous walks throughout the day. Exercise is a definite priority for Maverick.
“Joan was great with our dog Alfonso. She was very kind and sweet and she really cared for him. She took the time to get to know him before hand so she can be able to give him the best sitting. She texted us pictures and let us know how he was during his stay with her. We recommend her a 100% . Thanks Joan!”
“Marion was great to work with. She was friendly, reliable and clearly loves caring for animals. I felt very comfortable leaving our dog with her knowing she was in good hands. Will definitely use her again.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cornelius
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.
Lentil had such a great week with Katie and her family. This was Lentil’s first extended stay away, so we were nervous, but Katie made us feel so comfortable. She was flexible with timing, incredibly accommodating and communicative, and sent us pictures everyday. Peace of mind about your pet when you’re traveling is so valuable, and Katie delivered that for us. We cannot recommend her enough!
Kathleen is absolutely wonderful sitter! We’ve used her services a couple of times now, and she consistently provides the best care and peace of mind. Our dog is always so happy and relaxed in her care-he thinks he has two homes! Kathleen is professional, provides great updates, and truly treats our pup like one of her own. We highly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative, and caring dog sitter!
Drew did a great job of taking care of my rambunctious Husky. I made sure to give him all tips on Penny and what to watch out for and he was very attentive. I’d definitely recommend him with watching your fur babies. My dog came back tired which never happens so I know she had a great time!
Lisa was amazing with our boy. Maverick had the absolute best time with her dogs and i don’t think wanted to leave when we came to get him! She was flexible to set up a meet and greet on such short notice and work with our pick up and drop off times. We will definitely be going to Lisa first if we ever need dog sitting again.
Logan and Jessica are such caring and kind people. They took great care of Scotti, taking her on long walks and welcoming her into their home. Scotti is shy but from the pictures shared and picking her up, it was obvious she was comfortable and having a great time. You can tell that they not only provide the necessary care for your animal, but they genuinely love to have them in their home. I’m excited to have a reliable dog sitter in the area that I will look to first for future dog care needs. Highly recommend

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Cornelius sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Cornelius landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
Tip: 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.
