“Michelle is awesome. Lucille has now stayed with her twice and had a great time both times. Michelle even puts up with me changing the pickup times on her at the last minute. She also frequently sends pics & videos to let me know Lucille is doing well. I couldn't ask for someone better for my doggo to stay with when I'm out of town.”
“Shannon is amazing. It was our first time using Rover and she was the best person to experience this service. We love it. From getting updates (photos videos and messages) to answering all questions we had the whole time. Excellent service. Highly recommend Shannon, and we look forward having our Luna stay with Shannon and her family in the future. Thanks for everything.”
“We recently entrusted our two beloved dogs, including one senior pup with an ACL tear, to Sara, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional care they received. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of fantastic. Her love and passion for animals was evident from our very first interaction. She took the time to listen attentively to all the unique needs and quirks of my furry companions, which immediately put us at ease. Her commitment to providing a nurturing and comfortable environment for our dogs was truly commendable. She even kept us updated and reassured with regular photo updates. It was such a relief to see our furry friends happy, content, and well-cared for while we were away. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of exceptional pet care and would definitely have her sit our pups in the future.”
“Nala had another great stay with Amy and Justin! We are so happy we’ve found someone who provides a nurturing home away from home for our pup when we are away. Nala seems so happy when she stays with them and is well cared for. I highly recommend Amy and Justin!”
“Amanda was reliable front start to finish. She was commutative throughout our arranged time. Also sent pictures random throughout the day. Our lincoln seemed at home with their littles. 😀 I hope to be able to use her in near future.”
“Sophia did great! I know my border collie pup is a lot to keep up with, but Sophia kept her busy and enriched so well. The moment I picked Maeve up and put her in the car she fell right asleep. I would 100% bring her back.”
“Lots of photo and video updates! Sharon & Henry are so kind and the dogs really feel safe with them. The extra love and care to make sure my boys felt safe after we moved here and it was my first time going out of town, made us all feel so much better. 10/10 would recommend booking with them!”
“My dog was well cared for by Jen. She is experienced and understood what he needed. When I returned he was relaxed and playful. When I came to the door I could see him walking freely in the family room. He looked happy. I am grateful for the good care he received. Teresa”
“Maverick has been with Derek and Leslie twice so far and he loves it! He’s always well taken care of and has a great time. They are incredibly flexible with my schedule and super responsive. I would recommend sending your pups here!”
“We were a little nervous leaving our puppy, but Alexis made us feel completely comfortable. She took such great care of Nala and was incredibly attentive—especially outside, making sure she didn’t put anything in her mouth. That meant a lot to us. The updates and photos were great, and Nala came back happy and well cared for. We’d absolutely book with Alexis again!”
“Sixuan was incredibly attentive, following all of my feeding instructions to the letter, taking Andi on regular walks, and ensuring she had her potty breaks every three hours or so. Coming home to find Andi looking so happy relaxed and healthy gave me total peace of mind. She sent regular pictures with updates about her welfare . I gladly give Sixuan 5 stars for her excellent service and cannot recommend Sixuan highly enough! She did an absolutely wonderful job looking after my fur-baby!”
“Ruchi & Family are great dog sitters! They kept in touch with me throughout each day of my dog’s stay and sent pictures. My dog was well cared for, played with and provided lots of attention. Ruchi paid special attention to my request to not give our dog any treats because he has a sensitive stomach and could get sick. We appreciate all the extra care! We will be repeat customers!”
“Jonna did great job taken care of my baby fur! Luke loves Peaches, both dogs playful together. Thank you so much for taking good care of Luke. Recommend book with her. I will rebook with her in near future.”
“Nancy was amazing. The best dog sitter we’ve ever had! I felt so comfortable leaving Maple with her, as I can tell she truly loves like her own. Maple will be back!!!”
“Amber was so great with our dog! Lots of updates and photos and it seemed like our girl might not want to come home after having so much fun at Amber's! Can't say enough good things!”
“Rye was amazing and sent a lot of pics/videos of her time with my pup on walks. This was our first time leaving our pup with a non-family member but Rye calmed our nerves and he thoroughly enjoyed his time.”
About: Hi, we are Matt and Carolyn. We just lost our sweet pitty Bella after 12 great years. We are looking to pet sit your fur babies and fill our hearts up with dog love. We work opposite shift so dogs are only home alone a few hours if during the week. Weekends we would be home the full time and able to take them to the near by park or trails. We do have a kennel available. We also have a fenced yard with a back door close to our kitchen and living room. Our front door opens up to the side of a house rather than out to the street. We also live in a gated community. So your pet is extra safe.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Apex is $56

Sara is absolutely amazing! If you are like me and have separation anxiety from you fur baby or visa versa look no further than Sara. She treated our black lab like her own and alleviated any fears I had about leaving my dog. Could not have asked for anything better and can say the whole experience exceeded my expectations. Thank you Sara and Jake
I was so happy to find a place I can take my young dog Reykur to. Michelle's house is very lovely and there is a large fenced in area for the dogs to explore and run. There are only four dogs boarded at a time, two of which are owned by Michelle, which is ideal. The dogs can wander around the house and even sleep on the bed. I could tell Reykur was very happy and I felt very comfortable to leave him there when I went on my five day vacation. That was the first time I left him alone. I will certainly take him back the next time I am out of town. He is a small dog with lots of energy which did not seem to bother Michelle or her husband at all. That was another big plus.
Cameron did a great job with Yogi! He communicated well and sent pictures with updates. He asked questions about Yogi's needs and what to expect as far as his behaviour. He gave Yogi a few hours to decompress before being introduced to the other dogs in the home. Very professional and mindful...would definitely bring Yogi back and highly recommend Cameron!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Apex is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $37 and $78 per night. 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 November 2026, there are 997 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Apex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
93% of sitters in Apex 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 Apex 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 Apex.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apex. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Apex 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 CA 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
