“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 ♥️”
“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!”
“Over all great! Took great care of my dog and updated me on her well being throughout the whole night! Even made her a scarf which was also so sweet! 10/10 recommend!!!!!!!”
“Kona was well taken care of by Yaryna and her family. She came home happy and full of energy. I got daily updates on how she was doing. She also got some good walks, which not all Rover sitters will do. I liked how she only takes one pet at a time. Very happy.”
“Dyvonne was a life saver - accepting my last minute booking when another Rover unexpectedly fell through. I was in danger of missing my flight and she responded to me immediately. She cared for my two dogs, Lincoln and Ellie, taking them on walks and sending me daily pictures and updates. I could tell that they were happy and both felt right at home at Dyvonne's getting lots of pets, snuggles and exercise. If you want high quality care and daily communication, don't hesitate to book!”
“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.”
“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 feel incredibly lucky to have found Ashley & PJ. From the very beginning, they were thoughtful, communicative, and genuinely caring toward Cooper. During uncertain winter road conditions, they were proactive, reassuring, and put safety first without hesitation. Cooper was clearly loved and comfortable, so much so that he came home already hinting at another visit! 😊 It means everything to know your dog is not just looked after, but truly cared for. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone kind, dependable, and wonderful with dogs.”
“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!”
“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!”
“They took great care of our dog, Aries. Got updates and pictures throughout his stay. He got lots of cuddles and walks, and came home looking very happy. Will definitely use them again!”
“Mary and Jonathan were awesome! I was really nervous to try someone new but they did such a good job following his instructions, he was so happy in all the pictures and when we arrived to get him you could tell he was very comfortable there. So excited to have found the gym that is Mary and jonathan!”
“Lexi, had a wonderful stay with Kirsten and family ...I think she felt like she was on vacation. Kirsten loves animals you can tell, and so could Lexi. Thank you Kirsten I will DEFINATELY bring her back. Barbara & Dave”
“I have booked with Javarris several times and will keep going back! He and his family are so friendly and have been very accommodating. For Finn’s most recent stay, my flight got cancelled and Javarris kept him until I was able to make it home. I can tell Finn has a wonderful time & Javarris always provides regular updates. I highly recommend!”
“Awesome stay! I had been invited to a wedding out of town and needed someone to watch my dog. I’d never left her with anyone and she’s 3, so who I’d trust is very slim. From the beginning Diana and Jesse were very responsive and kind. We did a short meet and greet and I felt content leaving Leilani behind on this trip. Throughout the trip I received photos and updates about how things were going. We just got home, settled in, I’ve been unpacking and Leilani has been asleep the whole time. She loved her stay and is completely worn out ☺️ I’d definitely recommend Diana and Jesse to anyone! They keep your dogs routine, treat them as you would and make leaving your dog behind way easier!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
We had such a great experience! We received lots of updates, photos, and messages throughout the week, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of town. It was clear that Berber was well cared for and getting plenty of attention and love. When we picked him up, he came back happy, healthy, and pleasantly tired from all the fun he had. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely trust them with Berber again. Highly recommend!
Kealey is a great dog sitter. Responsive with daily pictures of Perzy and status updates that made me smile and feel safe. She fed him as instructed and took him on walks alongside her daughter who is just beautiful. My dog got plenty of love while I was away and that is priceless. Thank you Highly recommend, would use again, 5/5 stars ⭐️

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.
