“Kirsten took great care of my dog. She sent photos and updates each day and he had a good stay while we were out of town. Very professional, good with dogs, and good communicator.”
“Tania took fantastic care of my pup for a few days! She was very communicative and sent pictures/videos everyday. Her dog is also super friendly and playful. My dog came back a tired happy girl. Would definitely board with Tania again!”
“Andrea is a true dog lover and quickly formed a great bond with Flow. She provided nightly updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Andrea is also very flexible, and we’re happy to have her as Flow’s sitter.”
“Thais was amazing. She kept me updated with Onyx while I was away on a last minute trip. Onyx was having major meltdown and bad separation anxieties.. Thais communicated to me what he was doing & I explained why I felt he was going thru. She lovingly helped him thru it and even cuddled with him to calm him down. I can’t thank her enough for being supportive of his needs while with her. Thank you so much Thais .. that was a comfort to me knowing my Onyx was in loving hands. 🤎🫶🏽”
“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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Samyou and her family! She was incredibly communicative, sending regular updates, pictures and videos. I could see that Lilah was relaxed and having fun. Samyou followed instructions for feeding and visits outside. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing that she was being well taken care of. Thank you, Samyou and family, you have my highest recommendation.”
“Dianne is amazing and just the best when it comes to help taking care of our Toy poodle! She is very attentive and cares for our dog just like it is hers. She makes sure to share daily updates with pictures and videos, which gave us a lot of comfort and confidence that our dog was in great hands. Thank you Dianne!”
“Savannah was so happy at Diana & Jesse’s house. We greatly appreciated receiving pictures of our old lady every day and when we came back home Savannah was clearly missing her new two- and four-legged friends. We would recommend Diana and Jesse to our friends and family without any hesitation.”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“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!”
“Mary and Jonathan went above and beyond when watching my pup! She got plenty of exercise, potty breaks, and cuddles. They provided consistent updates with pictures, videos, and messages and were incredibly understanding and flexible when my travel plans changed on short notice. For the first time, I didn't feel anxious leaving my pup behind when I was out of town. I will definitely be rebooking with them.”
“It was stressful leaving our nearly 1 year old dog for the first time, but he seemed so comfortable and had so much fun staying with Zainab! She was very responsive and sent daily updates with pictures. I know Mason would love to stay with her again sometime!”
“Xiaoyu was incredibly caring and loving with my kitties. One of them is very shy and skittish and only lets me touch her — not even my husband can. To my surprise, Foxy ended up letting Xiaoyu pet her and even slept in their bed . That says everything. Xiaoyu was very responsive, kept me updated the whole time, and sent pictures regularly, which gave me so much peace of mind. She followed all instructions carefully and treated my cats like her own. I am very grateful ♥️”
“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.”
“Brittany was amazing! She and her family took great care of our Daisy. She was kind, caring and provided a warm and welcoming home for our sometimes shy and timid dog. She sent daily updates with pictures and even some videos, which really put us at ease while we were away. We definitely hope to use her again and highly recommend her.”
“Baylor was welcomed and appeared comfortable during her stay, and I appreciated the sitter’s flexibility with pickup. There were some supervision concerns, and she became sick after getting into another dog’s food, but she has since recovered.”
“Britt enjoyed her stay with Ashley! Ashley was very organized and kept us updated with just enough pics and notes to ensure we felt at ease with Britt in her care. We will definitely return!”
“We love having Julie and RG as our sitters and our pup absolutely loves going to stay with them. She always comes back well exercised, happy, and sometimes even better trained! :) They are flexible and communicative and I trust them to make the right call when caring for our EarlGirl!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
Michelle and Jose were absolutely wonderful with our dachshund Mia! They accepted our last minute booking, which we were so grateful for, and took great care of her. From the beginning, they asked thoughtful questions about Mia's routine, personality, and preferences to make sure she would be as comfortable as possible. They've had dachshunds themselves, so they truly understand the breed and unique doxie quirks and needs. Throughout her stay, they sent frequent updates and lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Mia came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Michelle and Jose to watch Mia again. We highly recommend them if you need care for your dachshund!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cary on Rover is $42.18 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 2,012 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.
