“So was very responsive and would send pics and videos and took care of Yuri very well. We were worried he might be nervous but he seemed to be quite comfortable around their family! We would definitely use them again!”
“Katie is great! Her dogs are sweet and I saw pictures of Jack playing well with my dog. Katie and her husband did so well with my quirky poodle who needed to take pills at dinner. We will be back for sure!”
“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.”
“Paula is a dog person thru and thru and I loved knowing my Lily pug was safe in her care. Will use Paula again :) Thank you again for taking such good care of our lily pug!”
“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!”
“Manisha and her family did a wonderful job watching Spencer! She was very communicative and quick to respond. I had last minute plans and she was very flexible to work with me. I was sent lots of photos and updates, as requested. During drop off, Spence willingly walked back with Manisha, which he usually never does at daycare. I could tell her and her family loved him like he was their own. I will definitely be booking Manisha again and recommend her to anyone looking around!! Spencer was also given a very sweet gift :)”
“Oscar had a great time with Kimberly and her kids. He was well taken care of and Kimberly shared photos of Oscar and her dog Coco having a good time together. Wouldn't hesitate to book with her again in the future. Thank you, Kimberly!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ron is great with Mima! She is a senior and isn't usually very comfortable staying away from me but every time I take her to Ron's house she walks in without looking back! Leaving her with Ron gives me peace and everytime I pick her up she is happy. :) Whenever we need boarding for Mima, Ron is right at the top of our list! Thank you so much, Ron!!”
“There aren’t enough words to describe how fabulous Jill was with my dog. My deaf 16-year-old dog has been in hospice care and required much extra work. He had a special diet that required a lot of preparation. He also needed several medications using syringes. Jill went way beyond what is expected of a Rover provider. She is passionate about providing outstanding care on every level. When my dog was anxious during the nights and barked, Jill would calm him down and sleep bear him, providing care and compassion and companionship. I cannot say enough about Jill. She is the best! You can rest assured while you are away that your dog is in very capable hands!”
“Our pupper loved his stay with Stephanie, her husband and Aurora! I think he was on just as much of a vacation as we were! Stephanie sent photo updates every other day or so and was very responsive whenever we reached out to her. She bought treats specificly for our little one to chew on and took him on lots of walks. Aurora the husky is super sweet and was a wonderful playmate for our pup, welcoming and social, our pup who is generally pretty timid in play with other dogs, warmed up and had a grand time. Stephanie and her husband were also very flexible with our scheduling needs and accommodated us to be able to drop off and pick up our pup! We cannot recommend them enough!”
“This family took great care of our dog and hamster, I highly recommend. I received pictures throughout our time away and updates on how the animals were doing. I will contact them for our next vacation away from home.”
“Hayley & Graham are so awesome! I know Millie is in great hands when I drop her off at their house. Millie loves playing with their pup and is always so exhausted at the end of the day. They are very accommodating to your schedule and very responsive. I would highly recommend them to watch your pet😊”
“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.”
“Steve took great care of my two dogs while we were out of town for a week. He sent me daily updates and took them on walks which I appreciated! He seemed to really care about them and made them feel comfortable in his home.”
“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.”
“This was the first time I was away from Toby, who I rescued about 2 1/2 months ago. The stay could not have gone any better! I received a daily series of photos that made me smile! They are a caring couple who went beyond the call of duty in taking care of Toby.”
“Andrea was great! Upon meeting her I instantly felt comfortable and confident that she would be wonderful to take care of my dog River. She loves your pet like it is her own. My dog came back to me happy and tired! She is communicative, sends photos and gave our golden retriever walks. I could tell by pictures she sent that River felt at home with her.”

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.
