“We’re so glad we found Nancy! This was her first time watching our senior dog, who has a few special needs, and she took such great care of her. She was patient, attentive, and clearly has a big heart for animals. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
“Jamie kept our Chocolate Lab and she was wonderful. She took him on walks, sent pictures and was flexible with me needing to add an extra night to his stay as we were out of town. She has a nice fenced in backyard for the dogs to run around. She def made me feel at ease leaving him with her. I will definitely be using her again!”
“Anamika has been very kind and caring towards my Simba. His stomach was upset but Anamika took such good care of him that his health was better within two days. She kept him like her own family member and I am very thankful to her. Simba enjoyed alot with her.”
“From the first few minutes of meeting Alison and Richard, we knew they were loving, caring people who would take great care of our boy. Griffin had an absolute BLAST during his stay! I got updates and pictures every day and felt so at ease. He loves Wrigley and Sunny (the perfect play mates and leaders for him), and so do we! We will continue to ask Alison and Richard to watch Griffin for as long as they let us :) I highly recommend anyone use them if they are looking for a fun, caring, home environment for their dog- and stress free for owners- while they are away.”
“Sandra was absolutely awesome!!! She sent pictures during Kings stay and she’s so friendly and welcoming!! I’m so happy I booked her for June and will continue to book her! King absolutely loved her!!!”
“Sandra was wonderful with our senior dog. She sent us pictures of him enjoying the outside area with other dogs and let us know how he was doing. We will definitely use her again.”
“Jacob did an awesome job taking care of Bella while I was away. His experience with service dogs is definitely a plus! Bella felt right at home with him as well as his 3 dogs. She will definitely be coming back again real soon!”
“Kathy and her crew took extra special care of our boy Nikko. He will be returning to his favorite spot soon. She has a wonderful outdoor area and furry friends to keep your special ones company.”
“Jayda was great with our little girl! She was so happy when we picked her up. I appreciate her responsiveness and attention to detail. I was also grateful for all the pictures and video that she sent us during the stay. It really put me at ease since it was our first time using Rover. We will definitely come back again.”
“My puppy Reef had such a great time playing with the doggies at Scarlett’s home. He literally slept all day when I picked him up. Scarlett’s home has a great backyard so the dogs can run around. She sent great pictures and communication was amazing. Will definitely be rebooking!”
“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.”
“We have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Victoria. We contacted her somewhat last minute to care for Sandy and she was able to fit us in for a meet and greet and keep her for us over the weekend. She was responsive to messages, sent photos, and Sandy came home happy and tired (in a good way!). We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future.”
“Amazing !! My dog has not been with a sitter for a very long time (and has anxiety we now know). Julie did amazing and gave me so many updates. I would recommend her to anyone !!”

“Lipika was amazing!! We had great communication with her the entire time of our dog Lokis stay. In all the videos Loki was soooo happy running, playing, and going on walks. I know Loki already misses her friends she made there. Will definitely request Lipika services again!!🤗”

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!
Katie is wonderful! Archie was very comfortable with her and her family. Katie sent photos of him during his stay and he got all the snuggles he could possibly have (his favorite). Katie was great with communication and extremely flexible with our trip schedule! Don’t hesitate to have your pup stay with her! She’s the best. Thank you again Katie! 💛🐾
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 don't normally leave reviews, but Lisa was too awesome for me not to. Lisa and I scheduled a meet and greet prior to booking and it went very well. Murphy got along very well with Lisa's fur babies and was immediately comfortable in her home. Lisa was very accommodating to Murphy and his anxieties. Went above and beyond when Murphy was getting used to boarding his first night by sleeping by his crate. She even allowed Murphy to sleep with her and Whiskey the remainder of boarding. Lisa is trustworthy, caring and unbelievable. We'd be honored to use her again!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cornelius on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,377 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cornelius. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
95% 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.
