About: I’m a huge animal lover with about 3 years of experience caring for pets. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while their pet parents are away. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to walk, feed, play with, and check in on their pets. I’m patient, responsible, and I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Your pet will always get lots of attention, care, and kindness with me! Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I have a flexible schedule right now. I’m able to spend plenty of time with pets, whether that’s feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, or just keeping them company. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so caring for them feels like a normal part of my day and something I look forward to. When pets stay at my home, I do my best to make them feel comfortable and safe. I follow the routine their owner gives me for feeding, walks, and anything else they need. I also have a gated, fenced yard so pets have a safe space to go outside and play. I make sure every pet gets plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm place to relax.
“Laura and Vinny were great!! Bowman had so much fun at their place. Laura sent me several updates with pictures and videos during his stay. Laura is very flexible and has great communication.”
“My pup had such a great stay with Rachel and her dog Claire. It was her first time boarding and Rachel made her feel right at home. She also made us feel very comfortable and at ease with the process. We will definitely use her again!”
“I felt as though Crystal cared for my pup as though it were her own, and she was extremely good at sending me pictures and updates about my pup’s stay. We’ll be back!”
“This is the first time I leave my dog with Casey. My dog was very happy to the point that he didn’t wanna leave. That means he was well taken care of. Thank you so much Casey. I will definitely use you next time for my dogsiter.”
“Antonio and Brooke were wonderful sitters for our guy. Toby. They are kind, thoughtful, and provided updates and photos while we were away. Toby enjoyed playing with their dog which is always a plus. So glad he had a playmate to keep him busy. We would definitely book with Antonio again.”
“Jessie and her family were amazing with Maggie! We received daily updates and pictures of their walks, cuddles, and playtimes. They welcomed Maggie as one of their family! We will definitely use Jessie again.”
“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!”
“Sam and Illeana were absolutely wonderful with Bailey. They immediately recognized my anxiety about leaving him for nearly a week and put me at ease from start to finish. I truly appreciated the opportunity for a meet-and-greet to make sure it was a great fit and that their lifestyle aligned well with our family. Honestly, Bailey seems a little sad to be back home—which says everything about the love, fun, and excitement he experienced with Kyro and Nala. Thank you both so much for taking such great care of him!”
“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.”
“Winnie and Boots had an amazing stay! They were treated with so much love and had so much fun playing in the large backyard. We are very grateful our pups were treated like family and we will absolutely be booking again!!”

Pet 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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
There are 2,433 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
