“Paula is friendly and so knowledgeable. Her dogs were great playmates for my dog, so I got a happy, tired out pup when I came for pick up. Paula was flexible with me on drop off and pick up times due to icy roads - I really appreciated her kind demeanor and quick communication.”
“Chelsea was great! Very welcoming and made sure our pup felt at home. I could tell at pick up that they took great care of her and really treated her like family. Will definitely book again.”
“Kim did a great job and has a great house for all types of dogs. She kept us up to date on how our dog was doing and made sure she had all the info she needed to properly care for our dog. Will definitely return to her for dog sitting!”
“I usually have my dog watched by family. 1st time booking with Rover. Very last minute booking for a long weekend stay due to an unplanned event in another state. Easy to book after setting up my account with information. John & So gave me updates every day with notes & video shorts. That made it easier for me not to worry. John & So have a nice home with a fenced in yard in a good neighborhood. Miyuki was walked every day. I think she enjoyed her sleepover. My 8 year old dog is constantly alert and has an average temperment, with bouts of high energy. I would use their services again and recommend them highly.”
“Brittany and her husband were amazing. They made our pup, Alaska, super comfortable from the initial meet and greet and let her roam around their house. You can tell how much they love dogs and they treated her like their own. Alaska has a ton of energy and they kept her busy with lots of playtime and walks and they even did some training. She’s very observant of all of Alaska’s habits and asked really great question to really establish the best stay for Alaska. Brittany stayed in contact and sent photos and videos throughout Alaska’s stay which made me feel super assured that my pup was not only safe, but legitimately having the time of her life. I highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again.”
“My little doggie couldn't have been in better hands than with Katie. My pup is a very nervous, frighten little thing with strangers but Katie, Mat, and Finn brought her out of her shell. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Ron did a wonderful job caring for our dog, Henry, and was great about administering the special eye medication our guy requires. This was the second time we’ve left Henry with Ron and both times he seemed happy and comfortable there. There’s a big back yard to sniff around in and a comfy couch for lounging. Ron’s calm demeanor really made Henry feel at home, and Henry came home happy and in great shape. We will definitely contact Ron for any future dog sitting needs!”
“Josh and Leah (and Charlotte and Max) took care of our dog Max for two weeks. They sent photos every day were easily communicative giving us updates. They took the dogs on daily long walks. Our pup came home happy and tired! We would absolutely trust them again and hope to book again with them.”
“Lorri provided absolutely amazing care for my sweet Addi. Her space is perfect for dogs of all shapes and sizes and energy levels. Lorri went above and beyond to make Addi feel welcomed and happy. She spent time quality time with Addi and ensures she had the perfect balance of play and rest. Lorri sent regular pictures and clever updates, which was greatly appreciated (and fun)! Truly top notch care! I recommend Lorri to anyone and Addi is excited to visit again some day. Thanks Lorri!”
“Gloria was AMAZING! My pup can take a little bit of time to warm up to people, but right away she loved Gloria’s energy and so did I. Gloria is knowledgeable and confident in her care for animals and does a wonderful job at providing a welcoming and calm space. I’m already planning more trips and feel so relieved knowing I have someone who will take such good care of my pup while I’m away.”
“Melani was great taking care of CalCal my goldendoodle. We met up beforehand to make sure my dog would get along with her dog. She sent many photos during the boarding. Would use her again; thanks Melani!”
“Hayley and Graham took good care of our girl (A Anja German Shepherd). They had patience with her picky eatting, and tried various things to encourage her to eat. I really appreciated that, especially because this was her first time away from "mom & dad" Daily photos showed she was at ease. Thankyou again.”
“Allison was really easy to work with. Her and her family took good care of my dog and responded timely with updates when I checked in. I would gladly work with her again in the future.”
“Daniel was a knight in shining armor for our family. Our original sitter had a family emergency and we had a flight to catch. Daniel was accommodating and made my pup feel at home with lots of walks and belly rubs. Daniel and his family will definitely be our go to for pet sitting!”
“Champ enjoyed himself a great deal! Irene was wonderful. Very communicative and understanding. I could tell she cared a great deal about his comfort. I was worry free during our trip!”
“Highly recommend! Our dog had a great time at their home. Aundrea sent frequent updates, including video and pictures which really helped us feel at ease. We could see that he was really enjoying himself with their family and staying very active, playing and going for walks.”
“This was our second time having Lea and family take care of our girl Luna. They took such good care of her, including administering meds for her ear infection. Plus lots of snuggles and love. Luna came home a happy pup. 😊”
“We are so grateful for Chaun for taking such great care of our Gus over Christmas! We got regular updates that were thoughtful and fun, and he seemed to have a blast with her own pups (and kitty). He came home tired and happy- thank you again for your care, Chaun!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cornelius
Allison and her family were fantastic! They were so caring and loving to our dog Bella! She for her ACL 4 days before we had to leave. Allison was more than happy to giver her her meds twice a day. I got pictures and updates everyday. Bella was excited to see us come home but obviously was very loved while we were gone as she was a happy girl when we picked her up. We are booking another stay with her in September!

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.
93% 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 OR 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.
