“Keri took excellent care of our 4 month old puppy while I was traveling for work this week. I really appreciated the adorable photos and daily summary. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our little pup.”
About: I am experienced at caring for small to medium sized dogs, and have experience walking large dogs. I love to play, cuddle dogs, and take them on long walks. I volunteered for a few months at the shelter cleaning cages and taking small dogs out to walk and play. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, allowing me to spend as much time with your pet as needed! I am adaptable and can adjust to your pet's specific needs. I am able to travel or stay at your home to watch your pets. I am serious about safety and keeping doors locked at all times. I like to keep the home clean, especially for your return.
“Victoria took amazing care of my two large lab mix dogs (who rarely are cared for by anyone but me,) and she made the whole process so easy it was like an angel popped by and fed them & let them out to play (while I was completely out of pocket at a family wedding & our other sitter had cancelled). I was able to book last minute by meeting Victoria and giving her care instructions by video chat through the app. She put me right at ease-seemless process, very professional.”
“Alaina is the best! She was very patient and understanding with my shy pup. She was also amazing with my elderly pup and was very observant of their behavior. She really helped me feel less stressed about being away from all three of my pups.”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and I love them oh so dearly! I’ve stayed in homes of family friend dog owners for a few years now, mostly just taking care of the dogs and going on walks, as well as watering plants when needed. I’m not much of a cat person, I didn’t grow up with cats but I can do what is needed of me. I work part time, around 25 hours a week so I’ll have plenty of time to hang out with your babies and make sure they are well taken care of. I will care for your baby in your own home where they have all their favorite toys and comfort spots. I will take them for walks and give them all the snuggles they need!
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life and I’m deeply committed to providing the same level of love, patience, and attention that I would want for my own pets. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medications, handling leashed walks, and maintaining a calm, safe environment. My priority is making sure your pets feel happy, secure, and well cared for while you’re away. I’ve recently moved back to the Portland area to finish school online, so my schedule is wide open to care for your pets! Text me and let me know how I can adjust my schedule to fit your needs! I prioritize following all instructions as their written, from feeding schedules, walks, to adhering to any medical needs your pet may have. I will provide the utmost care and respect for your home and animals to ensure everyone feels at ease.
About: Being raised on a small farm, there have always been cats & dogs around to share in the ups & downs of life. I love leaning into each individual's personality and working with positive reenforcement to catch the animals doing good behavior! I have experience training/working with dogs of all ages. Sometimes our furry friends need extra care. I am experienced in oral medicine administration, wound care, ear & eye treatments (if need be)! I am available for pet care on a daily basis. I care for my cats & dog daily. If ever I need backup support, I have a network of folks willing to lend a hand. When pet sitting, I follow the instructions given by the owner regarding when to feed, how much food, how often they need to go outside. Beyond that, I typically tidy up the space every evening, sweeping/vacuuming, refreshing waters, etc. I try to develop a routine so that the animals know what to expect and can relax into a sense of order. I generally find ways that each animal likes to play and find games that are fun and rewarding.
About: I love animals and my partner won't let me get more. To satisfy my need to be around animals, I figured it's best to take care of other people's. So I'll never give you trouble about rates because I'm just happy to get snuggles and kisses from your pet... I'm a stickler for rules, so If you give me a list of everything your pup needs, I will provide and I will do it happily. I wouldn't want less than A1 care for my own pup, so I can guarantee to show yours the same love My schedule is flexible. I work from home for my own business all 7 days of the week, so there's not a lot to have to work around, depending on your needs For boarding: I have a fenced home and my dog doesn't get along with other dogs BUT she is very content staying in my bedroom all day, so I see no issues there. She won't bark all day and is well trained. I work from home so I can very easily take any pets out to the bathroom as frequently as needed. I tend to walk my own dog 2x/day morning and night. For the client's home, I will abide by any rules you may have for me

About: I just recently moved to Oregon from Las Vegas. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, from high energy puppies to mellow seniors. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely love spending time with pets whether we’re out on walks or hanging out at home. I’m big on clear communication, keeping routines consistent, and making sure your pet feels safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m new to Oregon and have full availability right now, including weekdays, weekends, and evenings. Happy to be flexible based on your dog or cat’s routine. Your pet’s comfort and safety come first. I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and boundaries so they feel secure and cared for. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving meds, or creating a calm space, I do my best to keep things stress free. I know how important trust is when it comes to your pets, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and honest check-ins.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs when I was little but took a little break. I do have great experience with other dogs and I enjoy giving them company! I am currently home for a while, so I have a lot of time to spare! I’m currently not working a job, and I’m a full time student on winter break! I have a nice fenced yard that is pet friendly. I don’t have any other pets at my house and I don’t have any children!
About: Animal lover. Give me details about what your pet needs and I will provide great care. I have 10 years of pet sitting experience. I will walk your dogs and clean up messes. I will feed according to their schedule and most importantly provide them with the love and care I would want as if they are my own. I can do drop in’s to clients nearby and overnight stays to anyone as far as 15 miles away, but for overnight stays I would prefer that my own dog (very friendly) would be able to come too. I communicate very well and will be happy to send photos of your dogs so you can see them while you are away at work or on vacation. Thank you for considering me. I work 3 days per week but am still able to provide love and care to your pets on these days. I only work 3 days per week, so am able to be at home for 4 days to care for your pet. I am a huge animal lover so will make sure your pets get what they need, especially on the days I am working. At this time I am not accepting any boarding requests but thank you for the consideration. I am accepting in home requests for your pets!
About: I recently restarted providing pet services. Most of my experience is with small and medium dogs, especially seniors who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I’ve cared for multiple dogs at once, provided daily walks, and made sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. While I don’t have direct experience with cats yet, I’m very open to learning and eager to provide them with the same level of care. I’m also new to house sitting, but I’m highly responsible, follow directions carefully, and will always treat your home with the same respect and care I give my own. I do have a full time hybrid job, we can discuss a schedule if needed. I do come with a little senior, blind sidekick. He is very mild manner and chill but can not be left alone and therefore, we are a package deal. If this works for you please reach out. Familiarize myself with your home, your pets needs any instructions left and ask questions if I’m not sure, So I can provide the best care.
“So pleased with our experience, would recommend to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable, animal-loving caregiver. Ani went above and beyond checking in on our kitty and keeping her happy and healthy. She’s the best!”
About: Nice to meet you, I’m Sebastian. I've always loved cultivating relationships with animals, since I was very young. I grew up with two dogs: a playful cocker spaniel/poodle mix and a huge and lovable collie/shepherd, and I loved every minute of it. I am blessed to have found this great platform for associating with great dogs, in need of care and attention. I’ve noted that I have 4 years of animal caretaking experience (that is strictly professional) but I've done a copious amount of animal sitting/walking before (9+ years) for friends/family. In addition when living overseas, I even got in the habit of rescuing dogs (days/weeks old): this involved feeding/inoculations/providing shelter and tender caring before finding good homes for them. That in addition to being vegetarian for about half my life demonstrates how much I value animal life. However since my dog-rescuing days, I have become more involved in professional dog-walking and dog-sitting. As a college student, I have a flexible schedule and am free several afternoons/nights. A little bit about me: love the outdoors, quite athletic, offer low prices, but good quality. My goal is to have loyal, happy customers (both owner and dog!) Working from home and needing a physical outlet to relieve stress, while concurrently getting exercise makes pet care the perfect medium for me to have work/life balance. It fits very well. I have a fenced residence, as well as a private dog park, children’s park and walking paths throughout my complex. I use this, as well as, the accompanying area to make sure your dog is as comfortable and treated for as possible.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for friends and family for years. All different kinds of dogs and cats of different ages. Whether staying for long periods of time or just dropping in. I’m happy to spend time with pets, take dogs out for walks, bring my laser pointer for cats, etc. I am currently working remotely full time, 8-5. I can stop by before, after, and during my lunch for a good amount of time. I could make sure they’re checked on every 4-6 hours if I can’t be with them all day. I think it’s important to keep pets in a space they’re comfortable in and not change routine so much. I try to take extensive notes on what their day to day life is like. When they eat, where they sleep, walk times and lengths, etc.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Cornelius is $20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cornelius
Isaac is awesome! We have 3 dogs, 2 very large Cane Corsos and a pitbull mix. Our male Corso is the challenge, his trust has to be earned before he relaxes. He is actually our most loving dog, but not to strangers. He’s a guard dog no question. Issac is working with him, earning his trust and is not intimidated by him. ( thank goodness 🙏). We have FINALLY found someone! I highly recommend Isaac.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cornelius choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
