“Mark was super accommodating. I was nervous for my puppy to go to a new environment and Mark was able to meet my puppy before confirming booking. He was attentive and kept me up to date with photos. Charlie definitely has a forever sitter with Mark!”
“Ms. Jerl took extra special care of my goldendoodle Bleu. It was his first time away from home. Ms. Jerl sent pictures everyday Bleu looked liked he had a great time with her. He walked daily, he played, and ate well. I will definitely use Ms. Jerl again she was awesome!!!!”
About: Hi! I’m Victoria :) , a lifelong pet lover with 15+ years of experience caring for furry friends, and I’d love the opportunity to care for your pet! Cats and dogs are my specialty, and I take pride in providing the personalized attention every pet deserves. Whether we’re enjoying a walk, playing, or simply relaxing together, my goal is to make your furry family member feel safe and right at home. Thank you for your consideration and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! I have full time availability during the week - great for when you have to go to work and need someone to check in!! On weekends, I have part time availability in the mornings & evenings. I love to create an open space that your pet is familiar with! Keeping the same routines and providing extra loving if they get anxious is key when they are around new people. Allowing them to sniff and get comfortable without pressuring them.
“We left our very anxious dog, Judo, with Sarah and Erik for 2 weeks while we went out of state for our wedding. She can really struggle with new people and men, but she warmed up well (it took a few days but that’s just Judo)! I got many updates, pictures, and videos all showing me that Judo was having a good time. I could not have picked anyone better to watch her. She got along great with their dog, Rosie, who was happy to play or just hang out! I would absolutely have Judo stay with them again.”
“I must say, I was SOOO worried to leave my pup with someone who I don’t know.. YET, this experience was AMAZING!!! I got daily updates and pictures. My Paisley girl has NEVER left me and my husband ever, until now.. She was .. just words don’t do it justice . If you are ever in a bind or just simply need a dog sitter I highly recommend her! 100% hands down , I know my dog is hyper and moody at times but she calmed my nerves ALOT . Seriously ever need a sitter she’s your go to! We will be using her again!”

“Brandy is absolutely the BEST! We needed someone last minute and she was very accommodating with a quick meet and greet the day before our vacation. Brandy’s energy and her welcoming home sealed the deal for us. She made sure to send pictures and videos with her cute daughter it made us feel even more comfortable. We will definitely be using her again for our boarding needs!”
“July 2017 was the first time I used Rover. A specific dog sitter was recommended by a friend. I registered on the site, managed to locate the sitter my friend suggested and set up a meet and greet. The sitter was great and helped me find Norma, located in the same area. Norma and I connected and set up a meet and greet. She was very patient with me and my dog who isn't around other dogs often. Although easy going and calm, my dog's behavior was unknown and unpredictable around other dogs. He's easily excited around other dogs at times. Norma and I wanted to make sure the long stay (10+ days) would be a good fit for everyone. During the stay, Norma provided updates daily. She sent status reports along with pictures and asked questions to determine how to get the desired reaction from my dog or to find out what she could do to mimic our home routine. Norma was also flexible with pick up, drop off times and easily agreed to a one day extension. She's a true dog lover and treated my dog as one of her own.”
“Initially I was skeptical about leaving my dog to a complete stranger. It took me 4 days to decide the right person and our decision was not wrong. I would recommend Russell & Merlyn to you. They took care of my Daisy as if she was their own.”
“Dinesh was the best. Petey enjoyed his time. Dinesh kept us updated by sending pictures and videos of Petey. Dog park, multiple walks, pup cups and so much more. We will be booking with Dinesh again!”
“Ms. Tyra D. was an excellent dog sitter for Tank and Bunny! She provided a beautiful, spacious yard where my fur babies could play, run around, and soak up the sunshine. She kept them on their regular feeding schedule and showered them with so much love and attention. Bunny especially enjoyed relaxing by the fireplace, while Tank had a wonderful time playing in the yard. The photos she shared showed two happy, relaxed pups, and when I picked them up, they seemed completely comfortable and right at home. It was such a relief knowing they were in a safe, loving environment and being so well cared for. I highly recommend Ms. Tyra D. to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their fur babies!”
“The best compliment I can give Tanesha is that when I picked up my dog; he pulled toward her as she dropped him off for pick up and sat and watched her head back into her apartment. I’ve been using Rover and this is the first time it happened. Thank you for taking such good care of my precious baby Tanesha.”

“Elias was great! He took such good care of our girl. His home and backyard are a great set up for dogs. Good neighborhood for walks. We can recommend him highly and would use him again.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter than Frances! She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and kind from start to finish. Our pups absolutely loved her — she gave them so much attention, sent us regular updates with photos, and made sure they stayed on their routine while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter!”
“Lennox always loves going to Rachel’s. This was Lennox’s second time being watched by her. I love that Rachael sends pictures and check in texts about how my dog is doing. She has also been very flexible working with our crazy schedules. Thank you Rachel!”

Yelena was a wonderful sitter for our chihuahua Star. She came home looking great and happy. We were very pleased with the communication during our trip. We received update photos and videos 2-3 times a day which was perfect for us to know our fur-baby was doing just fine with Yelena. Thank you and would highly recommend Yelena as a sitter. We have already reserved Yelena for our next trip!
We are so grateful to Joseph and Christine for taking such wonderful care of Bruno! They kept us updated throughout his stay and always made sure we knew how he was doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciate their attention, kindness, and care. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their pets. We would absolutely love to have Bruno stay with them again in the future. Thank you both so much!
Brianna and Quentin were so wonderful with Parker. Parker felt right at home, and she might think that her and Maple are litter mates (despite their size differences). It’s always hard to leave Parker behind, but it’s so much easier knowing she is loved and well cared for!
Lashonda is a very sweet and caring person. Our dog had the best time! We were not sure our dog wanted to leave upon pickup - she was obviously cared for very well. 😊 I appreciated how LaShonda asked questions about Bella and wanted an idea of her routine during drop off. Will def use her again.
Nancy was amazing! Our dog Dot went from anxious to showing off toys like it was her own house in just a few hours. We could tell she was in a truly loving environment. We don’t take pet care lightly and are already planning our next visit with Nancy to care for Dot again. After such a positive experience we would highly recommend her!
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.
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.

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Cornelius is $48 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $29 and $72 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 2,423 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Cornelius. About 92% of Cornelius sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
