“She took excellent care of my dog Toko for 10 long days and ensured Toko had a wonderful time, too. The daily photos and reports gave us peace of mind and comfort even though we couldn't see Toko.”
“Carolyn was fantastic! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time. I came home to a happy, relaxed pup. I’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Thank you for taking such good care of our senior frenchie, Duke. He had a great time and I had no doubt he was in great hands while we were out of town. Marta was quick to respond to messages and sent great pictures and updates throughout the stay.”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. Watching family and friends dogs gives me great joy! Dogs have been a part of my whole life. I love them dearly, my sister in law travels quite often which gives me the opportunity to watch her two dogs. One is a puppy full of energy and they are so fun to spend time with and play. Love going on walks to the forest preserves out in nature. let me be your dogs new friend. I work four days a week Tuesday thru Friday until 3:30pm. I'm available for boarding Friday nights thru Monday. I can take dogs for walks on Mondays, Weekends, and Tuesday-Friday after 4. I have a big home plenty of space to run around and play. My backyard is good size and fenced in. I can update you with photos of your dog. I can maintain the feeding schedule as required. I will make sure your dog has plenty outdoor time walks or just playing in my yard.
“Cheryl and Jim were great! Bear came back home and hasn't shown one sign of boarding adjustment. Cheryl also sent daily messages on how Bear was doing and some pictures showing him relaxed and happy, which was of great comfort to me. I will definitely use them again!”
“udith was wonderful with Linny! My biggest concern when using Rover is that Linny tends not to eat when he's in a new environment. Judith treated him like he was her own and made sure he was eating properly. Whenever he wasn't interested in food, she spent extra time playing with him to help build up his appetite. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being. I would definitely book with Judith again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter.”
“My dog received great care from Jorge and his family. Bella was spoiled with lots of loving attention. She had a great time with his kids which were wonderful with her. She will definitely be going back.”
“Jill is amazing! She is so loving and caring… She truly loves your pet as if it were her own… I will not look further next time I need a dog sitter… She is a keeper for all future dog sitting! She is the best!!”
“Michelle V was excellent for our first Rover experience! She was easy to communicate with and responsive. She also was flexible with pickup and drop-off as our times changed. Thanks, Michelle!”
About: I have a wide range of expirence with all types of breeds since I was 10. I work from home so I am around most of the time. I am currently training for a hiking marathon and my dog cannot make all the miles I need in a day. Love active dogs and all their quirks. I am up at 4:30 every morning. Walking my first dog at 5am. I get my teenage son off to school. I work in my home office until 2pm. During this time my dogs have full run of the house and my large fenced in yard. They have full access to toys and water throughout the day. Then time to walk 2 other dogs. After dinner I am walking my senior dog on his personalized walk. He loves to play with other dogs but also loves his evening walk solo. I have a large fenced in back yard. Poop is regularly picked up. I have 2 dogs and they are treated like one of the family. They have their routines and enjoy the many pampering they get. My dogs are allowed anywhere in the home. They have many toys, treats, and snuggles.
“Yaqi was amazing! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated throughout the stay. I felt very comfortable knowing my dog was in such good hands. Everything went smoothly, and my dog came back happy and well cared for. I truly appreciate her attention and kindness. Highly recommend!”
“Jill is a great addition to our care team for our pupper, Lacey! Jill's friendliness and patience made our decision to have Lacey stay with her so incredibly easy. She was thoughtful to keep us updated with behavior and pictures. Jill's home is an added bonus with a fenced play area, and super cute landscaping! She was referred to me by others using her care services, and I am more than happy to refer Jill to others as well! Thank you, Jill! I think our Lacey-Loo definitely made another friend in you. ?”
“Shauna and Peter took such wonderful care of our dog Gracie. Not only did they follow our instructions for her basic care, such as food, medications, daily walks and play, but the whole family gave her so much love and attention. She is a very affectionate dog and they treated her as if she was their own. We were on a long trip overseas and Shauna’s daily communication and photos gave us such a peace of mind that our sweet pup was doing just fine. We feel so blessed to have found them and can not thank them enough for the perfect care they gave Gracie! We highly recommend Shauna and Peter to care for your dog. They are the best!”
“Eliza was great. Our dog is a senior and requires some extra attention. Eliza was great with her and sent us pics and texts to keep us in the loop on how she was doing.”
“10/10 would recommend! Best dog sitter we've ever had! Niratcha kept me updated and sent lots of pictures, I always worry when we are away but knowing they were happy and playing the whole time made my vacation so much more enjoyable!”
“Loved having Jess take care of our big pup! He was welcomed into her family for our extended vacation and he immediately felt comfortable and at home! (He’s a little anxious so this was a big deal!). We got regular updates and photos. Will 100% use her again!”
“Jessica is fantastic! She took our pup to the park and on her errands which made him very happy. Very communicative too the entire time with photos and videos. And she takes excellent photos to boot!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
I don’t think words can emphasize just how positive an experience working with Carolyn was. Our 13-year-old Chihuahua mix has had some long-standing trust issues and can be stand-offish to strangers. Carolyn was able to gain our dogs’ trust each day while also providing the highest level of care and communication possible. For our little dog to feel comfortable with a new person speaks volumes to the type of patience and compassion Carolyn provides. We received daily updates and photos from Carolyn to reassure us our pet was well taken care of and to communicate any questions or tips to make his stay more comfortable. He received plenty of walks and interaction to stimulate him throughout the day and tire him out for a good night’s sleep. Our little guy barked and howled the first night, but Carolyn stayed patient and by the second night he was completely settled in and sleeping through the night. I highly recommend working with Carolyn and we will continue to work with her any time we need someone to watch our little dog.
Great experience for Violet while she stayed with Paul and Bella. She either was exhausted of chasing Bella all weekend long in the yard or missed her that match because Violet stayed on the coach sleeping the whole day after coming back home! ❤️ We received messages and pictures during the stay and we really appreciate Paul's engagement and care. We will definitely use Paul's services again!
Jill was super great. She took amazing pictures of the pups and sent them to us as an updatem they were vetter than any pictures that i habe ever taken. She has a nice little yard that is fenced in and she was super understanding and kind about our return travel being delayed causing us to get back to pick up the dogs later than we had originally planned. We would rebook her again in a heartbeat.

94% of sitters in Cary can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cary home-away-from-home, 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 Cary.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Cary 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.

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 .
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 IL 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.
