“Zainab took wonderful care of Niko, even wiping his paws coming inside from the salted sidewalks. She truly cares for the dogs she sits and sends adorable pictures and lovely updates. Niko came home a happy boy :D”
“Tania took excellent care of Rooster! She even happily agreed to watch her four hours earlier than my expected drop off when something came up! I will definitely book her the next time I am in Raleigh and in need of doggy day care!”
“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!”
“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.”
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: I love animals and know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else — I want you to feel completely confident they're in good hands. I share my home with an 8 y.o. border collie who is friendly with other dogs and enjoys long walks and naps. We also have a calm 12 y.o. cat who is used to dogs and mostly keeps to herself. I live in an apartment with a dog park and walking trails nearby, so your pup will get plenty of fresh air and outdoor time every day. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so pets are never left alone and get lots of attention throughout the day. I'd love to take great care of your dog while you're away! I work from home with a flexible schedule, so your dog will always have company during the day. We typically go on 4 walks: a 15–20 minute morning walk to start the day, a 15–20 minute midday break, a longer evening walk around 6 PM (30–40 minutes), and another walk around 9 PM. In between, there's plenty of playtime, cuddles, and belly rubs on demand. I'm happy to adjust to your dog's routine to help them feel at home. I live in a clean, smoke-free, pet-friendly apartment where your dog will always be supervised and treated like part of the family. I'm near Morrisville trails, perfect for sniffing and exploring, and have access to a fenced dog park for safe off-leash fun. I keep plenty of toys on hand to keep your pup entertained. You'll also receive photos and updates throughout their stay so you can see how they're doing.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have trained puppies, given medicine and my pets live long pampered lives. I have 2 dogs now! I am not working so my schedule is flexible.

I am also very diligent about safety and keeping pets contained. I understand the dangers of lost pets. I volunteer with Lost and Found sites and rescues.
About: I’ve cared for my roommates’ two dogs while they were at work during the day. We’d spend time relaxing together, watching TV, going for runs, and practicing basic commands like “paw” and “sit.” I really enjoyed getting to know each dog individually and learning their unique personalities, needs, habits, and learning styles. While I’ve never personally owned a dog, I’ve always loved caring for and walking my friends’ dogs whenever they need someone they can trust. I currently work from home so I have a very open and flexible schedule! I enjoy walking pets just as much as I love laying around with them. Especially when the weather is nice I can turn our walks into a longer stroll. I would love the opportunity to be a friendly, dependable, and caring sitter and walker for your pets! 🐾❤️ I live in a one bedroom apartment with an upstairs loft and additional outdoor balcony with more than enough room and furniture for your fur baby to roam and relax on. My complex includes a dog park along with a nearby shady trail for walks.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
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.
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!
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!!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Cary is $33 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $47 per day. 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 1,398 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.
As of October 2026, there are 1,398 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of NC. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
