“I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience. My dog received truly exceptional, thoughtful care from start to finish. It was clear she was treated with genuine love and attention, and that gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I especially appreciated the frequent updates—photos, videos, and little notes throughout the day that showed exactly how happy, relaxed, and well‑cared‑for she was. Those check‑ins meant the world to me and made the whole experience feel incredibly personal and reassuring. My dog came home calm, content, and clearly adored. I’m so grateful for the level of care and communication provided. If you’re looking for someone who goes above and beyond, this is the sitter you want. Truly outstanding.”
“Dyvonne was great and was very helpful flexible with drop off and pick up times which was a help for me. She did a great job introducing the dogs to each other. My Beau had a great time there and almost seemed sad to have to come home. I felt like My Beau was well looked after.”
“Our puppy had a wonderful stay and was treated like family. Sloane was helpful with encouraging and reinforcing training in progress. We appreciated thorough daily updates and photos! Couldn’t recommend more highly!”
“We had the pleasure of meeting Zainab late September and we couldn’t be more happy with how our senior dog did with her. She sent updates while we were away regularly and he just fit right in with her family. Thankful to have found such a great provider on Rover. So close to home and so attentive and caring to our pet. We will be booking as often as we need for sure! Loved the experience and so did our pup.”
“Crystal kept my dog for a 7-day overnight stay. She was easy to work with. My dog was calm and relaxed when I picked him up after his stay. I believe he was well taken care of by Crystal and her family.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of (and spoiling) Remi while we were away. This was our first time using Rover, and honestly, knowing she was with such a caring family helped us truly relax and enjoy our vacation. It was clear from the updates, photos and videos that she was happy, and well cared for, and that meant so much to us. We really appreciate the time, and extra attention, you showed her. Thank you again for giving us such peace of mind — we would absolutely trust you with her again in the future.”
“Emily and William took great care of Mia. She had regular walks, playtime and photos shared. When our trip got delayed , they gladly extended her stay. We would definitely have them take care of Mia during our future trips”
“Stephanie and her family were great caretakers for our two pups. We have never used Rover before, so were a little nervous leaving our girls with a stranger, but we were so pleased with the care and communication provided! Five stars!”
“Andrea was very easy to work with. We did a Meet and Greet a few weeks before Oskar stayed with her. She sent pictures and updates almost every day. She responded promptly to my messages. I would consider sending Oskar to Andrea again if I needed a dog sitter.”
“Lesley and her family took such amazing care of our dog, Banjo. Banjo was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt at home with them. She kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can really tell that she and her family genuinely love animals and treat them like part of their own family. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Martine and Ronald were so wonderful! We had a 10 day trip planned and were nervous to leave Cosmo for that long. They were so kind and took great care of him! We got pictures and updates daily so we could see how he was doing and check in. He loved their yard and getting to relax in the sun. All communication was very quick and responsive, and they were super flexible with our schedule while traveling. They also handled all of his meds and supplement needs without any issues. Cosmo had a great time and would definitely love to stay with them again in the future!”
“Finley had a great time during his long stay while we were out of the country. Daily updates were provided including pictures and videos. Finley was super tired when we picked him up, indicating lots of great play time! Thanks again!”
“Evelyn was above and beyond! She sent great daily updates and followed all of our directions and more. Above all we had what you would call a travel nightmare on our way home which ultimately ended in a canceled flight. Evelyn took care of our Harper for an extra night without hesitation! Brings us so much peace of mind to know we have someone we can rely on for our dog care!”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing!! She treated our dog like her own and sent multiple updates a day which made us so comfortable knowing he was in good hands! She also followed our instructions on diet, how/when to walk him, etc. I will definitely use Sarah again!!”
“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!”
About: My greatest loves in this world are animals and nature. I enjoy pets of all sizes, I’ve taken care of all kinds of breeds from Rottweilers to Jack Russell Terriers. I’m experienced with all stages of life, I recently lost my amazing 13yo lab/Irish wolfhound mix after raising him from a puppy. I’m comfortable giving medication and light grooming/brushing, but my favorite is getting them outside for some fresh air and exercise. I love caring for cats and plant-babies too! I’m a freelancer and enjoy taking breaks throughout the day to step away from my computer and get my blood pumping. Making my own schedule means I can be flexible to accommodate your needs. I’m a gentle but firm soul and find a way to connect with a wide variety of temperaments. I’m happy to go slow and meet animals where they are since I know proper care and attention is not one size fits all.
“Mariel and Teresa did an exceptional job watching my dog Ruby for an extended stay! While she is not a runner, it was reassuring that they put an AirTag on her in the case she got lost. They were very communicative and sent both pictures and videos regularly to help me feel connected to my pup while I was away. I would absolutely recommend them because you can feel their warmth and love for animals as soon as you meet them. I will certainly reach out again when in need.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
Diana & Jesse took such great care of our boys! They were so great about introducing our dogs to their pets safely, making sure we were comfortable, and keeping us posted with regular updates during our trip. Their pets are super sweet and playful as well. I could tell our boys had so much fun and can’t wait to go back!
My two dogs had a great time with Gricel! Gricel is very responsive and provides a lot of updates including pictures and videos! It was so nice to see how much fun they were having with her sweet dog Frankie. We will definitely be looking forward to future stays with Gricel and Frankie!
Claire took wonderful care of Leo while we were away. He came home happy, tired, and totally himself — no stress at all. We got regular photo updates that made it easy to relax and enjoy our trip. Her place is clean, safe, and clearly set up for dogs. Would absolutely book again and recommend her to anyone looking for boarding!
Louis could not have been in better hands! I was in a bit of a bind and needed a sitter on short notice after we had recently moved to a new area, and finding someone I could trust with my 10-year-old Yorkie was a little nerve-racking. From the moment I met Kealey, I felt completely at ease. She and Kaia welcomed Louis into their home and truly treated him like one of their own. Kealey was incredibly attentive, caring, and communicative throughout his stay, sending regular updates and pictures that made being away from him so much easier. It was obvious that he was not simply being “watched”, hewas being loved, included, and cared for. I am so grateful to Kealey and Kaia for taking such wonderful care of my little guy. Finding someone you can genuinely trust with a beloved pet is priceless, and I would absolutely recommend Kealey to anyone looking for a thoughtful, responsible, and loving sitter. Louis clearly had a wonderful time, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with her again! ❤️
She was absolutely amazing I was really scared to leave my baby but she took videos and pictures and didn’t make me feel crazy for how many updates I wanted. Mocha had such a good time and it really made me feel so at ease that they loved her the same way that I do

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cary on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,014 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Cary sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Cary landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Cary home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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 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.
