“This is the second time we use Brittany to watch our pup and she’s such a joy! It really feels like our pup is going on vacation. Brittany sends regular updates and photos and our pup clearly gets a ton of attention and exercise. Would highly recommend!”
“If we could give Manisha higher than a 5, we absolutely would. She was terrific at communicating before and during our dog’s stay, with plenty of updates. She was also so receptive to all of his needs and often went the extra mile to make sure he was comfortable. We are not apart from our dog Simba often so we expected he may be a little nervous but Manisha’s entire family (including her sweet dog Bruno!) gave him so much love and attention that he was sad to leave. We have another trip upcoming soon and have total peace of mind knowing he will be staying with her again.”
“This is the second time Luna has stayed with Kylee and her family and has had the best time. Kylee is so great with sending updates and pictures. It's a relief to know Luna is in good hands while we are gone. Thank you so much Kylee!”
“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.”
“Nicole was so awesome at sharing her experiences with the puppies! We got updates all day long of park fun, walking, and puppy snuggling. It made our trip so enjoyable!”
“Chris and Angela were great! I needed a last minute booking and they were available. So happy they were! They absolutely loved on our new kitten, playing with her, snuggling her and giving her more attention than she might have even gotten at home 😆 they also sent regular pictures and updates while we were away. Would 100% recommend and use them again.”
“Gage was absolutely great to work with. He took great care of our Boston Terrier Sasha. We received timely updates about Sasha every single day. This was our first time on Rover and we lucked out with Gage. Such a kind and caring person. Sasha came back happy, very playful and in a great mood. I highly recommend Gage and his pet-sitting services.”
“Irene and her family are fantastic dog sitters! They took such good care of our 2 year old lab/retriever mix Layla. Irene truly makes each dog a member of her family while they are in her care. We will definitely be booking with Irene in the future (I just hope she is available)!”
“Cristina and her family took good care of our little Pomeranian as if she was one of their own. She sent pictures of her and it was so comforting to see her “smiling” in the pics and enjoying their company! Our flight got cancelled and we weren’t able to return the day we arranged but, Cristina had no problem taking care of her another day. She even went out of her way to get more of her wet food, even though she still had her dry food left. I definitely recommend Cristina and will for sure book her again if she is available the next time we will be out of town!”
“Angelica took excellent care of my dog! He came home exhausted from playing with the other dogs in her beautiful backyard. Would definitely recommend her to a friend :)”
“Lajetta took such great care of our pup noodles while our family went on vacation. She treats our pup not just like a dog but like a little human! She provided a luxurious room for our pup with plenty of toys and walks. I loved seeing all the pictures she sent us everyday and always responded promptly to any messages I sent. Noodles got to socialize with other small dogs her size which was wonderful. Gotta to admit a little jealous how much my puppy loves her in such a short time.”
“Saawan and Kangna are the best! We’re so thankful we found them. They cared for Rosie with so much love. They were thoughtful and kind and very prompt with all communication.”
“My Pup is an AmStaff, so his breed is restricted with many kennels. I'm glad I was able to keep Bandit with Andre & Mckenzie. We set up a meet &greet first and Andre was amazing the way he interacted with my anxious pup. He seemed to have enjoyed his stay and came home tired. He obviously had plenty of play time to be that exhausted ? there was constant communication with pictures and videos. I would definitely recommend the two to anyone!”
“Shawna has cared for our dog Zoe twice and both times Zoe came home happy and healthy. Shawna sends us pictures of Zoe while she is there, which really helps so much. Thank you Shawna!! You put our worries at ease.”
“From the moment my two dogs met Peter they loved him. He is so good with doggies! The pictures he sent me showed just how happy they were with his family. They were given lots of time, affection, and fun, as well as special attention and grooming. They were with him because I was in the hospital for a medical procedure that went longer then expected. For me Peter's flexibility with my situation and the confidence he inspired made leaving my doggies in his hands in an already stressful time for me a peaceful decision. I would clearly recommend him!”
About: I’m just a dog lover who enjoys taking walks a few times a week. I’ve had rescues my entire life, so I have my own personal experience with animals. I currently have a almost 4 year old, shy, rescue that we have been working on confidence building with. I work a full-time job, so I’m looking to fit in boarding on the weekends and holidays. I'm open for long term boarding as well. I live in apartment, but we take our dogs on walks to get their energy out and supplement the lack of a yard where we can. My dogs are spoiled and happy. We do also have a doggy run in our complex that we can use as well. I would be the sole caretaker for your pup.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Cornelius is $50

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!
This was my first time leaving Moses with a sitter, so I was definitely a little anxious going into it. But after meeting Brody and his pup Kenzie, I felt so much better right away. The updates and photos said it all, Moses clearly had the best time (honestly, I think he was on his own little vacation 😂). It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was happy and well cared for. Body was super accommodating to drop off and pick up (even after my flight landed super late). I’d 1000% book again!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cornelius is $43 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $56 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 of October 2026, there are 2,355 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Cornelius can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cornelius home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
