“We couldn’t be more thrilled with the care Chelsea provided for Bubu and Lola during their days at her place! Both of our Huskies can be a bit particular, but she handled them with such patience and love. From the moment we dropped them off, it was clear that Bubu and Lola felt right at home. Chelsea kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which made our workday so much easier knowing they were having a great time. It was such a relief to see them so relaxed and happy! We highly recommend Chelsea to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving caregiver for their pets. Bubu and Lola can’t wait for their next visit! 😊🐶”
“We absolutely love Jessica and Dave!! They took very good care of our boy Blue. They have a big backyard, perfect for sun tanning and squirrel watching. Our boy had a fantastic time and can't wait to go back and play!”

About: First time booking can get $20 off now! (Not sure if the discount will be available forever or not because Rover changes it time to time.) Apply the Code EMMAJ16925 before checkout! 😊 Hello! My name is Emma. I have had the experience of taking care of dogs for more than 18 years. Also, I take care of my coworkers’ and friends' dogs often. Currently, my husband and I have a 3 years old Cavapoo named Bagel. I clean his eye areas, wash his belly and feet everyday, clean his ears every week after his shower. Moreover, I trim his hair all by myself (Cavapoos' hair grow non-stop). Bagel has his own bed with his bedsheets which are washed every one or two weeks. Our house is really clean and peaceful. In my home, your puppy will get the best level of care. They will be really safe, clean, comfortable, and happy! —————————————————— Important things for dog owners to know: 1. I’ll only take dogs which are smaller than 25 lbs for new clients. I’ll still take care of old clients if their size is bigger but are very calm or low energy. 2. I have really high standards of cleanliness. Dogs are not allowed to go on human beds in our home. This is non-negotiable. Thanks for understanding. 3. I am a typical indoor and introvert person. I prefer to take care of moderate or low energy dogs. Walks may not be provided every day. The dogs will have lots of time running around in the backyard though. I'm currently not working and staying at home all day, so my availability is generally 7 days/week. Please check my Calendar before your booking. Thank you! : ) We have a fully fenced yard. I usually let dogs go to the yard every 1-3 hours. Moreover, I will send a lot of videos and photos to you during the boarding. : )
“Bangyun was amazing with my pup. Bella her dog is very friendly and had lots of play time and walk together during the stay. You know your baby has been having fun when they can’t wait to go into her house in the morning, jumping out of the car and rushing into the front door! Will re book when needed again definitely! Thank you so much !!! :)”
“I needed day care services for the last 3 weeks. Susan & Ian were amazing! I requested dog pickup and drop off. I work 12 hrs a day and when I got home I came home to a tired and happy dog. It was like Christmas. I got pictures and video updates thought the day and report card at end of day. Kuka, my dog, loves their Rudy. They became buddies. I cant recommend them high enough!! Kuka went to doggie day care in the past and it always stressed her out. We tired 4 different places. She is super duper happy with Susan and family.”
“Roksana was great! She handled my very anxious dog with lots of care and love and my doggo seemed very happy and comfortable by the end of her long stay. She was very flexible with my last minute booking and very communicative. Will be seeing her again! Very much recommend.”
“We love our furbabies as if they are our own flesh, they are our "kids." Very seldom do we leave them and we mostly take them everywhere we go, our whole activity surrounds around them. Yes, we are one of those crazy furparents. and we are very thankful that we found Heather, who have treated Maxine and Callie with much love and care. We were able to go out and have fun without worrying. Heather sent us pictures and updated us often. On top of this, she was very helpful in giving us tips on where to go and dine in Portland since it was our first time in the city. Thank you again and I definitely recommend Heather for your furbabies.”
“I was delighted when I discovered that Beck is hosting! I have taken care of her sweet dogs and because of previous contact with them, I felt very comfortable having Maya spend time with Beck, Pat, and their two little pups. They were great hosts.........Maya was very happy and content there. I hope to be taking Maya there again!”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, especially dogs. Ever since I was little, I’ve spent my time learning about different breeds, their personalities, behaviors, and care needs. Because of that passion, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal body language, which helps me recognize when a pet is happy, stressed, nervous, or just wants some extra attention. I’ve also learned basic training techniques and enjoy working with animals in a positive, patient way. I even taught my cat to sit on command! I believe every pet is unique, and I take the time to understand their individual personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. What makes me a perfect pet sitter is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and pay close attention to their individual personalities and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s giving an energetic dog plenty of playtime or making sure a shy cat feels safe and comfortable, I take the time to earn their trust. I also understand how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I make it a priority to provide reliable care and ensure every pet feels loved, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate my time to caring for pets throughout the week. This flexibility allows me to accommodate a variety of schedules, whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or last-minute bookings. I enjoy spending my time with animals, so being able to provide reliable, attentive care isn’t just convenient for me, it’s something I genuinely look forward to every day! I always care for pets based on their individual routine and personality. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, and lots of love and attention while respecting their comfort level. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior so I can recognize if something seems off or if they need extra care. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, crate routines, or training commands. I also believe communication is important, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos to help you feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible by keeping their routine consistent and treating them like they’re my own.
“Zach was very accommodating we needed someone last minute. He was sending us picture of our boy Zeus , which he seemed to have a wonderful time with Zach. We will definitely have Zach watch our boys next time.”
“I really appreciate Kristen taking care of our boy Sampson. This was the first time being with someone else other than the groomer and being around other dogs. I think she took good care to make him comfortable around the other dogs because he really wants to meet other dogs more than before. I would highly recommend Kristen to take care of your loved one’s. Thank you Kristen! Michael Parkison”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Cornelius is $37 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $39 per day. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,801 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Cornelius. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Cornelius commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 1,801 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of OR. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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.
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.
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.
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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
