“This was our first time leaving our Melo (23 month old mini golden doodle)with anyone outside family. Yaryna was so sweet and gave our baby lots of attention. We received updates and photos. We did doggy daycare for the day. We will be trying overnight, and have no doubt that he will be in good hands. Would 100% recommend Yaryna !! Thanks again”
“I can’t say enough of how happy I am to have found Diana and Jesse. They are the perfect fit for my dog Jax. They are so friendly and welcoming and Jax LOVES staying with them. I get pictures throughout the day with updates and a report card at the end of the day. Jax has also learned some new tricks. I know when I drop Jax off, he will be well taken care of.”
“Tania agreed to keep our girl at the last minute over the holiday weekend, and we were so lucky to find her. She took good care of our baby, and we will definitely use her again!”
“Grace and her husband are amazing with my little girl Bella! Every time I pick her up she is so exhausted, but happy; which means she had a great day! I love that they treat her like their own!”
“Michelle and Jose were super communicative prior to the visit and throughout Cannelle’s whole stay. You could tell how much they love dachshund’s when I dropped her off. She went right inside their hose and started exploring which made me feel confident leaving her in their care. I loved receiving updates with photos and was so happy to see she was having an eventful day but also some good cuddle time. She was tired when I picked her up which is always a good sign. I will definitely be using them again soon!”
“My two pups Buddy & Peanut enjoyed their social time with Amanda, the children, the other pups, and of course Mel. So similar to the home environment they are use to (with a few extra friends) vs a loud barking & over populated daycare/kennel. No stress and pups come home tired and happy!!”

“Prada had a great time with Javarris and his family while I was away at the beach . Photos were sent while I was gone and she crashed and slept the moment I got her home. Will definitely be using again!”

“Sharon is a wonderful dog sitter. She took out old sweet Bodi in for the day and made sure he was happy and calm. He got along very well with her two sweet pups and that’s saying a lot for our guy; he’s afraid of most dogs. He melded seamlessly with her pack. When I picked him up he was happy and calm. It was a great day. We will return to Sharon every time we need day care for Bodi while we are in the Apex area.”
“Cheyenne had a great first time staying with Alison and Tim. I got lots of pictures showing how much fun Cheyenne was having. I could tell that Cheyenne was treated like part of the family. We will be back again soon!”
About: If your pet could swipe right on a sitter, I’m pretty sure they’d pick me. I’ve been caring for animals since I was about 12, and honestly, it feels like I’ve had a leash or treat pouch in my hand ever since. From childhood pets to neighbors’ pups to friends’ cats who “don’t like anyone” (but somehow curl up in my lap), animals have always been part of my daily life. I’m new to Rover but not to caring for others pets. Why choose me? *A lifetime of experience: Growing up with pets taught me patience, intuition, and how to read an animal’s needs long before they can tell you. *Calm, confident care: Whether your pet is shy, energetic, quirky, or a total diva, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and understood. *Reliable and communicative: You’ll get updates, photos, and the peace of mind that your furry family member is happy and cared for. *Genuine love for animals: This isn’t a side gig for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. Your pet becomes “my” pet while you’re away. I currently volunteer with American Brittany Rescue and the AKC. I have volunteered with the Wake County Animal Shelter in years past. I have also owned and volunteered with 2 certified therapy dogs. We visited hospitals, nursing homes and schools. Our current dog is not a good candidate for therapy dog work, but we hope to participate with Therapy Dogs Inc. again in the future. Our dog and cat are both up to date on vaccines and take monthly heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. If you want someone who treats your fur baby like their own and brings warmth, fun, and dependability to every visit, I’m your gal. Let’s make your pet’s day a great one. I request that dogs staying with us be up to date on vaccines and on flea and tick preventative. I currently work part-time from home and my hours are somewhat flexible. If your pet is in my home, I can take breaks as needed for feeding, potty breaks, and pats. Mon-Fri from 12-4 pm is less flexible for me if I am coming to your home to do a walk or potty break, as those are my busiest work hours. I will follow your provided schedule to a T, taking into account your specific routines, wishes, and needs. I understand it can be stressful for pets when their families leave, and I will do everything possible to ease that stress and make sure your pets are happy and relaxed. I am always super careful about closing doors, latching gates, and making sure everything is in order before leaving each home. Your pet's safety and well being is my number one priority. I have a very friendly dog that can accompany me on visits and walks if your dog would like companionship.
About: We grew up with pets around and have been pet sitting through Rover for almost two years now. We know that all pets are different and we would be accommodating to any needs. We have a dog named Bailey who loves to play and make new friends. We can provide separate time to settle but typically like to have them together. We only accept one dog at a time. We are available most days of the week so we can adjust schedules based on your dogs needs! I love running and being outdoors in general so I can take your dog for as long of a walk as they want. We usually take Bailey on 2-3 long walks a day. We live near many common grassy areas. We usually avoid public dog parks but have more private and enclosed areas we have access to if off leash time is needed. We have a car as well so we can be flexible and easily get to your pet at any time.
“Carleigh and John were great! They are super responsive and made the whole process of the meet and greet and the first day of daycare really easy. They’re friendly, easy to communicate with, and very organized when it comes to scheduling. Goose looked like he was very happy and comfortable with them in their home and we look forward to future visits! Thanks for good care of him!”

We were looking for a trustworthy sitter for our dog, Phoebe, and we’re so glad we found JB! He was really great with her, took her on walks, and kept us updated with photos throughout her stay. We were running quite late when picking her up, but he was extremely accommodating and polite. We had a great experience, and JB would definitely be our first choice for Phoebe again! 💛🐾💛
Rebecca is a wonderful Rover sitter! She sent adorable photos and videos of our pup throughout the day, and made us feel very secure with Boba being in her home. We highly recommend contacting Rebecca for pet care and will be booking with her in the future!
Bonnie was new to us and our Brittany, Gracie, which can be concerning especially since our dog (or maybe us!) can get anxious and wary of new situations. But Bonnie greeted Gracie who didn’t hesitate to say hello to her! Gracie felt very comfortable in Bonnie’s home and enjoyed the attention she paid. Bonnie is an obvious dog lover and great “dog sitter!” Gracie will be happy to see Bonnie again!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cary on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,409 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Cary. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Cary commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,409 sitters in Cary, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
