“Another great stay with Katie! Received lots of great pictures of Jackson having a blast while we were away, and he slept the whole way home so we could tell he had a great time!”
“This was our first time with Chelsea and it was great! She and her family are kind, knowledgeable, and patient. My dog is on the anxious side even though she loves people and dogs. They have 3 pups of their own, so I felt that my dog would enjoy spending time with the furry kids. We will definitely be boarding again with Chelsea.”
“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.”
“This was my first time booking a pet sitter and the first time my puppy was away from me for more than a day so I was super nervous about the whole thing. Thankfully Kimberly was available and walked me through the whole process. She sent daily updates and pictures and was always available to answer any questions I had. Her and her kiddos really did treat my puppy like their own and I would 100% recommend booking with her, I know we will again.”
“Ron will be our go-to guy as long as he is willing to take our dog! Our dog is always so anxious before and after we leave. He was excited to run into Ron’s home and has been so relaxed ever since we picked him up.”
“So and John took good care of Gracie while we were away for 3 days. Gracie is a little nervous around other dogs and they gave her separate space to keep her comfortable. She seemed to be getting along fine in the video clips provided. She ate and slept well and I’m sure she loved all the attention she received.”
“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!”
“Finley had the absolute BEST time with Manisha and her family. They showered him with love and attention and sent many many pictures and videos to let us know how he was doing. We had complete peace of mind while we were away. Thank you, Manisha!!”
“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!”
“Mo is a great find! Our dog, Riki, loves boarding with her and her dog. She is very attentive and provides great updates on what is happening - playing, eating, walking (and pooing). I highly recommend and will be using her service into the future.”
“We had such an amazing first Rover experience with Britney and truly could not have asked for a better person to care for our two female German Shepherds. From the very beginning, she was incredibly friendly, responsive, and communicative, which immediately helped ease a lot of the anxiety that comes with leaving your dogs with someone new. She kept us updated daily with pictures and videos of our girls playing, being goofy, relaxing, and genuinely looking comfortable and happy in her home. Those updates meant so much to us and gave us real peace of mind while we were away. Britney was also very upfront and honest with any questions or observations regarding the dogs and was always open to suggestions that could help them settle in more comfortably. One of the biggest things we appreciated was her experience with German Shepherds. You can absolutely tell she understands the breed and their personalities, energy levels, and needs since she previously owned one herself. She had toys available, a great environment for them, and also boarded only our girls without other dogs during their stay, which made us feel even more comfortable and helped reduce stress for them. She also gave us thoughtful feedback, training tips, and helpful suggestions that we genuinely appreciated as first-time Rover users and German Shepherd owners still learning along the way. It never felt judgmental, just supportive and caring. Overall, Britney went above and beyond for our girls, and we are so grateful for the care, patience, and attention she gave them. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and genuinely caring for their pets.☺️🐾🩷”
“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.”
“Gage is really nice and responsive and he took a great care of Tater tot. We got regular updates and pictures and was easy to communicate with. I highly recommend! Will rebook again in future.”
“Really thankful for Irene taking care of Reggie at last minute notice, Reggie is a handful and she took care of his needs and he had a great time. Would recommend her anytime!”
“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.”
“Helen was a fantastic dog sitter! Communication was clear and consistent, and we really appreciated the regular photo and video updates while we were away. Most importantly, our dog came home happy and relaxed. Would absolutely book again!”
“So thankful for Vanessa. She took wonderful care of our boy, even provided unexpected medication for our puppy. She's very knowledgeable about pets and took care of Tom's physical and emotional needs. She's a caretaker who gets it and we will be using her services again.”
“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.”
“Hayley and Graham were fantastic! They were very communicative and easy to work with. Plus they were very sweet to my boy, even when he went through their trash! I will definitely use them again.”

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!
Omg! Katri and her two doggy kiddos were amazing! She sent out updates through out the day with pictures and videos which I love! Kyro had a blast with them! And katri was so sweet and amazing and probably the one of the best sitter I have come across! She definitely made him feel safe and took such good care of my baby!! Highly highly recommend her!

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.
