“Andrea did a wonderful job taking care of our dog, Kona. We were away for 17 days and needed a loving family to taker her in rather than a kennel. Her previous reviews all lived up to their marks. Andrea is knowledgeable and attentive to dog personalities and was able to help our girl transition into a good routine with lots of love and exercise. Having our dog sleep in her own bed each night (with her blankie!) made it much easier to be away. I received pictures or text communication almost everyday. I couldn't have been happier and will definitely use Andrea's services again. I highly recommend.”
“Another wonderful stay for Apollo with Tania. We missed him but I think he had so much fun that he was definitely not missing home that much. We really appreciate the care that Tania took of him and will definitely be using her again.”
“I'm so glad I met Kirsten! I can't think of a better place to leave my dog. Snoop has separation anxiety, but Kirsten and her family did everything to make him feel comfortable. She also sent me pictures every day. I definitely recommend her service!! thanks again!”
“In our area there are dozens of commercial buildings with teams of people ready to care for your pet. I'm sure many are very successful businesses. However, when one needs to find someone passionate about animals to care for their beloved pet, this website is the best place. Diana and Jesse are clearly animal lovers. They have multiple pets and they have designed their home around their pets and pets they care for, including a large, fenced back yard. Spend five minutes with them and their passion and love for animals is obvious. We felt very comfortable leaving our dog with Diana and Jesse. While with Diana and Jesse, our dog had a great time. He was well cared for and returned home happy and healthy. Diana and Jesse, respond quickly to messages, share pictures on a regular basis and adapted to our pet's needs. Their pets are very accommodating of new animals as well. Our dog will be back under the care of Diana and Jesse the next time we travel. I suggest you go meet Diana and Jesse as well.”
“I can tell my pup loved her stay with Cecilia and her pups, she didn't want to leave! She took her on walks and adventures and also listened to my requests for using her cone. Lovey was well stimulated and attended to during her stay.”
“Dianne was amazing!! She kept me updated with lots of pictures and videos, and I know my little girl was so happy with her. She was so caring and sweet, and I know Penny was in great hands. Highly recommend!!”
“Pepsi receives the greatest care with these wonderful people. Not only is he loved like their own, he is also treated like royalty. Thank you y'all for taking such great care of our fur baby while we are away. We do not have enough words to thank you.”
“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.”
“Cannelle had another great visit with Michelle and Jose. I loved the updates and photos shared. It was very easy to drop off and pick up and communication was great. Definitely will reach out to them for my upcoming trip in the fall!”
“Diego was wonderful watching our dog while we were out of town. He shared photos and videos, and ensured she got lots of fun and playtime. Would definitely consider having Diego dog sit again!”
“Niko had a wonderful over-night stay with Zainab. Got his play, cuddles, naps, and walkies in! She does such an excellent job, and my shiba is so comfortable with her. I pick up a happy and healthy boy every time. She also gave him his medications just fine. Already looking forward to next time!”
“Chelsie is super amazing and took the best and greatest care for our little one! She is very passionate about the care and time she spends with our pet. We could not have asked for a better person to help watch Isabel while she was recovering from her procedure. Thank you so much Chelsie!”
“Ashely was very sweet and with my dog. She send us pictures everyday and give up updates about how our dog is doing. My dog seemed very happy with her and her family. We will definitely go back to her again if we go travel.”
“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!”
“Daria did an amazing job taking care of my dog! Lots of pictures and updates and I could tell she really enjoyed having him and he was well taken care of 😊. He'll definitely be excited to go back!”
“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.”
“I always get nervous when I leave our baby with someone new but Vanessa made us feel so comfortable and at ease. She pays attention to details and even let us do a meet and greet before hand at her home. She took amazing care of Sadie and sent me daily updates with pictures that made being away from her so much easier. Thank you Vanessa!”
“Sharon took great care of our dogs, with daily walks, frequent updates, and photos as well! Her two dogs were very welcoming, too - not always easy with our dogs, I’m sure they’d be great with anyone’s pets. Very much looking forward to boarding with Sharon again the next time we leave town!”
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our Asher boy! He had the best time and was so loved while we were gone. We got updates and pictures and didn’t worry at all while we were away! Highly recommend Javarris for pet sitting!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
Millie & Patrick were great with Charlie. I can tell he had a blast with them. They were very attentive to all his needs and quirks. Their communication was great, too, and they were able to help in a last minute bind so that was a big plus! I’ll definitely be rebooking with them in the future.
Cecilia is an excellent dog sitter. My dog is elderly and has a heart condition. Cecilia followed my instructions regarding diet medication and activity. Ozzy was very calm and content when I came to pick him up. He has been happy since I brought you home. I know he felt well cared for and safe with Cecilia. I have already booked another stay with her.
Chelsie is super amazing and took the best and greatest care for our little one! She is very passionate about the care and time she spends with our pet. We could not have asked for a better person to help watch Isabel while she was recovering from her procedure. Thank you so much Chelsie!
I had a great experience with Michelle! I could tell Mojo was very happy and comfortable. I really appreciated all the pictures and updates throughout the stay, and the communication was excellent. It gave me peace of mind knowing Mojo was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend them and would happily book again!

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.
96% 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, 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.
<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.
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.
