“Heath and Amy were amazing! Super flexible with all drop off and pickup needs, they have a lovely family that clearly love animals. Our dog was super happy to spend over a week with them which isn't super common as she is typically a bit nervous about new home environments. Not in this case, she made herself right at home thanks to their welcoming presence and their own pup was the perfect playmate. We will definitely be reaching out to them for future dogsitting needs.”

“Katie and her family were incredibly welcoming to our puppy Neko for her first extended experience away from us and our first time using Rover. We were so grateful to receive regular updates and pictures of her getting lots of exercise and social interaction, and were able to travel without her for the first time with peace of mind knowing she was having her own vacation. We will definitely book with Katie again and highly recommend her!”

“This was our first time leaving a member of our family in someone else’s care. Since it was a five night stay and our dog is extremely affectionate and loves being around people, we were a little nervous at first. But Juan took such great care of her and made us feel completely at ease. We’re so happy that she now has another place where she can feel safe and comfortable. We would absolutely trust Juan to take care of our family again and would love to have her watch her in the future. Thank you so much, Juwan!”


“Dottie took excellent care of my deaf 16-year-old beagle named Brody. She cooked special food for him that he absolutely loved. She sent me photos regularly throughout each day with cute captions that reassured me what good hands he was in. She had a special wonderful and comfortable bed that he likes so much that I am buying one for my Brody! She recommended a new medication for his arthritis that we intend to use. Dottie takes a very special interest in dogs that comes from her heart. I was able to enjoy my trip because I knew my dog was in excellent hands. I highly recommend Dottie!”
“Wonderful! Great house and yard for dogs. My girls felt so welcome and I was able to enjoy a night out knowing they were being well cared for. Would 100% book again.”
“I am hesitant to leave an honest review because I wish that Jimmie were always available to watch our girls, and I know he will be booked when word gets out. He is gentle and kind, and his fenced yard and family are wonderful. Our girls were obviously well cared for. They sniffed everything, slept in the shade of the tree, and spent the evening barbecuing with family. They came home exhausted and contented. I can't recommend Jimmie enough. Thank you, Jimmie!”

“Christopher was an absolutely great host. He’s got a great yard and two friendly pups to keep your dogs company while you’re away. Very quick communication. We will definitely be asking for his help in the future, and I recommend it to anyone looking to host their dogs where they can be safe and happy while you are gone.”

“Kris was absolutely fantastic to work with. She was very sensitive to my puppy’s needs and had a very clearly loving and entertaining home for my dog. He didn’t even want to come home with me, that’s all you need to know.”


“It seems like our little dog Hattie was extremely well cared for. We received cute little photo updates daily that reassured us that she was in good hands. We would happily book with Jamie and his partner again!”

“Shari was so friendly, reliable, good communication with quick reply to texts and daily updates of my dog. Would definitely recommend and hopefully will be a repeat customer.”

“Eric & Emily are amazing with Sadie. This was a quick overnight trip and they were so accommodating. We're hoping they'll always be available for Sadie whenever we need to go out of town. I can't imagine a better family watching out for our Sadie.”

“Our 13-year-old toy poodle, Lolita, did great with Lisa. We left her for 10 days and I received lots of pictures and updates, which put my heart at ease just knowing that she was in good hands.”


“Jake was the superstar of my vacation. I was stranded in Vegas after all airlines canceled their flights to PDX for the day and every flight out for the next 3 days was booked up. He extended our boarding without complaint and was so easygoing about the whole fiasco. Buddha came home so happy and sleepy from playing with Zoe. I will recommend Jake to anyone I know looking for a dog sitter!”


“Flawless. Leah and Chris did a phenomenal job making me and Gnocchi feel comfortable with the arrangement and she had a great time. She's very high energy and they gave her a lot of playtime and attention. And sent tons of pictures too!”

“Laura has a heart of gold and it’s evident she has a huge place in her heart for dogs. I immediately felt comfortable leaving my pup with her. She kept in contact, sending me videos and pictures daily. She was very accommodating and even arranged for a later than expected pick-up & drop-off. Thank you so much Laura!”

“Serena was so sweet with Chewy and sent photos of him and Nugget on there walks and playing together. Great communication and responsiveness! We would definitely book again with Serena!”

“Taro had a wonder time at their home. I call it his lil spa day cause he doesn't have a backyard at home. Maria is very accommodating and a delight to have stayed with.”

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!

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.

There are 2,454 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Cornelius. About 91% of Cornelius sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
