“Yaryna provided excellent and loving care for my dog! My dog is older and requires a bit of special care, but Yaryna handled all of his needs willingly and capably. Yaryna went above and beyond in communicating how he was doing and sharing pictures. I am sure that he was in the best of hands, and I am so grateful for the high level of care that she provided.”

About: Hi, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 I know that pets are family, and I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for when their owners are away. I’m a responsible, attentive, and caring pet sitter who would love the opportunity to make your pup feel right at home! Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playing outside, snuggling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby to keep them company, I’m happy to tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. I understand that every dog has their own routine, preferences, and quirks, and I’ll do my best to make sure they feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual feeding schedule, provide plenty of affection and attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re apart. I also understand the importance of maintaining familiar routines and following your instructions closely. My goal is to make every visit or stay a positive experience for both you and your pet. I want you to feel confident that your furry family member is in caring, dependable hands and getting plenty of love while you’re away. I would love to meet you and your pup and see how I can help! ❤️🐶 Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day! Your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. I can easily incorporate potty breaks, walks, playtime, and cuddle breaks into my daily routine. I love having a furry companion nearby while I work, and I’ll do my best to keep your dog on their normal schedule so they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.

Since I work from home, I’m able to keep a close eye on your dog throughout the day and provide plenty of attention, companionship, and regular breaks. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, respect your dog’s routines and individual needs, and make sure they receive the personalized care they deserve. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing! Building trust with both pets and their owners is important to me. My goal is to make every experience as stress-free as possible, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your best friend is in caring, attentive hands.
“Michelle and Jose were absolutely amazing with Delilah! They accepted our booking last minute, which was such a huge relief, and from the moment we dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. They have so much experience with dachshunds, and it really showed. They understood Delilah’s personality and needs, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving her for the weekend. Throughout her stay, they kept me updated with messages and pictures, so I never had to wonder how she was doing. If you’re looking for sitters who are knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely care about your dog, I can’t recommend Michelle and Jose enough! We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Rosie LOVED her stay with Carol. We received lots of pictures and updates. Carol was so kind and caring!! Rosie loved exploring her giant backyard. It was like a doggy vacation.”
“Polina is the greatest sitter I’ve ever met! Rosie had a very good time with Polina and her family. We received many updates and photos. We were very satisfied with her service and we will definitely rebook again in the future! I can only recommend Polina!”
“Daniela is the perfect dog sitter and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We were nervous dropping off our pup for this first time and she made everything so seamless and sent lots of photos. Will only use her from now on!!”
“Yara, Angel, and their daughter Zoe took phenomenal care of our dog Loki! Their communication was great and they sent regular updates. We can’t recommend them enough!”
“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!!”
“Jenny is excellent and took great care of my dog and treated her like family and was giving me updates and pictures of her every Day and she gave me a piece of mind knowing she’s in safe hands with Jenny . Definitely recommend and will use her again for future”
“Amanda and Joseph couldn’t be more welcoming. They took great care of my dog and she got all the cuddles she could ask for. Amanda was so amazing with communication and being flexible with my schedule. Highly recommend!”
“Adrienne was great! We got so many pictures/updates of Bernie playing with her daughter and having the best time. It made it so much easier to be away when we knew Bernie was in great hands and having a great time on his own vacation!”
“Sarah was fantastic. She took excellent care of my 10yo Boxer and he was very at home staying with her. She had other dogs for him to socialize with but no more than a couple at a time so I know my buddy got all the attention and care he needed. Walks, trips to the dog park and daily pictures made me so happy and Id definitely bring my best friend back there for care. Thank you, Sarah!”
“We had a great experience with Sarah! She kept us updated with lovely photos throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind. She’s very friendly, caring, and professional. Pumpkin was clearly in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking again in the future.”

She was very caring, attentive, and kept us informed throughout his stay. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches.

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 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 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.
