“This was such a great experience overall! She took such great care of our girl! We got her back happy and loved!!! We got great photos and updates throughout our trip as well! We feel really grateful to ga e found such a great rover sitter!”
“Evelyn was wonderful with our dog! This was our first time having her stay with Evelyn, and we were very happy with the experience. She was extremely responsive and kept us updated each day on how our dog was doing, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was very communicative and upfront throughout the stay, and we really appreciated how thoughtful and caring she was. Our dog had a great time and especially enjoyed playing with Evelyn’s kids. Evelyn also told us what a wonderful dog she was, which was so sweet to hear! We would definitely recommend Evelyn and would happily have her watch our dog again.”
“Samyou and her family provided amazing care for Lila in the 2 weeks we were out of the country. I would definitely send Lila there again and recommend to anyone who might be looking.”
“Kristen took great care of our precious pup while we were away. She posted pics and updates daily. I'm always concerned about separation anxiety when we board him, and searched for a sitter with a loving home. Kristen was very attentive and treated him like family, which made me feel more at ease. I have found a perfect fit for my Buddy and will definitely use her services again.”
“This was Olive's second stay and much longer (~10days) with Mary and Jonathan. Just as the first stay, they were very communicative, shared lots of pictures and videos, and took good care of Olive. Olive had a wonderful stay and we trust Mary and Jonathan with the care of our dog, Olive. Thank you for taking care of and treating Olive as your own!”
“Zelda had a WONDERFUL stay with Cara over the past several days! I received frequent updates and photos, and loved knowing that Zelda was going on daily walks. I could tell that my pup was happy, safe, and having a FUN time playing with Cara's sweet dog Daisy. (Daisy looks a little fierce, because she is a pittie mix, but she's just a sweetie who loves to play.) An unexpected perk was that Cara's two grown sons LOVE dogs and were extra playmates on occasion. The fenced-in yard is a doggy paradise, and the home is thoughtfully organized to keep my dog safe and happy. I will definitely be a repeat client. Thanks, Cara, for welcoming Zelda to your doggy oasis!”
“Sharon took amazing care of our two pups while we were away for a week. We received multiple photos and updates each day which really helped put us at ease -- it was clear the dogs were enjoying themselves and were in good company. When we returned, our dogs were super happy to see us but were also notably calm upon returning home. It was evident that they had been given lots of attention and many walks! Additionally, Sharon facilitated a smooth process from beginning to end, was really easy to work with, and had all our dogs' items packed up and ready to go when we returned. We highly recommend Sharon - she really did love our pets like her own!”
“Crystal took great care of Bailey during an extended trip. Bailey is a senior pup and has special needs. Crystal handled her meds and was flexible with her rhythms. Crystal was very responsive to Bailey’s needs and very communicative with us which helped us to have peace of mind on our trip.”
“Cathy was a wonderful sitter! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of updates and pics, and genuinely connected with our pup. We felt so good knowing our dog was in great hands. Would absolutely book with Cathy again!”

“We boarded our dog Toby with Michelle while we were on vacation and she was just flat out amazing. She gave us multiple updates everyday we were gone. Her puppy Diamond is the sweetest pup in the world as well and got along with Toby amazingly. She answered every question promptly and was thorough with her answers and inquiries. We can’t wait to have her watch Toby again, we know he had an absolute blast with her and it made us feel like Toby also had a vacation.”
“My dog, Daisy, had the best time staying with Rachel! Rachel took Daisy on morning and evening walks. Rachel sent lots of pictures, and we could see that Daisy was very happy and was making herself at home. She was treated like a princess! I highly recommend Rachel. We will definitely book with her again!”
“John and Carleigh were wonderful! Reiner was immediately comfortable with them and their home, they sent plenty of updates, and Reiner had a ton of fun with them. We will definitely be reaching out again the next time we’re out of town!”
“Our dog was relaxed and happy when we picked her up from her stay with Amanda. I know she had lots of affection from the family and lots of exercise and playtime with the other pets in the home. The text and photo updates put our minds at ease while we were away.”
“We received daily updates and pictures. Our dog spent the whole weekend playing with other dogs at Christian's and came hope super tired. Christian had no problems with last minute adjustments we needed. We'll definitely use him again.”

My dog, Daisy, had the best time staying with Rachel! Rachel took Daisy on morning and evening walks. Rachel sent lots of pictures, and we could see that Daisy was very happy and was making herself at home. She was treated like a princess! I highly recommend Rachel. We will definitely book with her again!
We had a great experience with Michelle caring for Frank! She sent several photos every day and was responsive when I asked questions. It was such a comfort knowing he was in good hands while we were away. Frank requires 3x/day feedings, and she accommodated that schedule, coming home to feed him during her lunch break (she does not work from home). She also took him on long walks in the mornings, so I know he was able to get plenty of exercise and, just as importantly, lots of good sniffs in each day! Michelle also has a dog, Diamond, and I'm glad Frank had a friend to hang out with during the day. What meant the most to us was knowing that Frank wasn't simply being looked after, but genuinely cared for. I saw photos of him up on the furniture with Michelle like he was a part of her family. It's not easy leaving a beloved member of our family behind, and Michelle made that so much easier. We're grateful for the kindness and attention she gave him and would recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable sitter. We'd happily have Frank stay with her again!
This was our second time having Michelle and Jose watch Mia and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! We received frequent updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. Mia was well cared for and given lots of love and attention. We’re so happy with the care they provided and will absolutely continue to use them in the future. Highly recommend!
I was blown away at the care and friendship that Disney & Jesse (& daughters) gave to my dog Goose at his recent stay. As a first time Rover user I was not sure hiw it worked and Diane helped me figure it out. Goose was very happy at their house and loved hanging out with theur dogs and cats. He always looked happy & seemed to fit right in with their household. In the pictures she sent I could see he was smiling. Thank you Rover, duane and Jesse for making my visit so wonderful and stress free.
Griffin was great! This was our first time leaving our 1 year old puppy with someone new. He kept us updated and sent photos. He took extra time on potty walks with her as she was not so used to potty walks. She received tons of snuggles and we felt like she was being well cared for.
5 stars! Anu was amazing with Jake. He had such a great time, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was very caring, attentive, and kept us informed throughout his stay. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. We would absolutely trust her with Jake again and highly recommend her! 🐶❤️

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Cary is $42 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $59 per night. 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 of October 2026, there are 2,002 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cary. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% 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.
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 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.
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.
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 .
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 NC 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.
