“Cameron has done great with our pup Mabel!! He is very patient and thorough and likes to make sure his clients are comfortable with the care and training he provides. Mabel loves going over there and getting to play with JJ and friends. It’s a bonus to have her get some training in too!”
“Leo had a wonderful time with Harkiran and we were genuinely surprised that he finished his food. Harkiran shared lot of pictures and is very flexible with pick up times.”
“My family and I were traveling with our dog and wanted to have an option for doggy day care. Kirsten was an excellent choice! We felt confident that our dog was having fun on her vacation day with Kirsten, while we enjoyed some tourist attractions that weren't pet- friendly! Thanks to Kirsten, I will definitely use Rover.com again!”
About: I have had dogs in my life since I was 3 years old. I have been taking care of my pets since then. I have house sat for family members. I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs before. I currently work full time from home so I am home daily. I am able to let the dogs out and give them attention all day long. I have a fenced in yard that our dog roams and sits outside often. I give our dog multiple bathroom breaks, play with her and give her lots of love during the day.
About: I am an empty nester and former full time stay at home mom. Currently mom to a Great Pyrenees and a Newfoundland. I love big dogs and have had small dogs during my childhood. I can provide exercise and playtime along with lots of belly rubs. I know how hard it is to find a sitter and am extremely picky myself when I need one. My dogs are family and believe in keeping them as comfortable. I am attentive and stick to your instructions and routine. My schedule is wide open. I work from home and have reliable transportation. My weekends and holidays are open. Animal needs always come first in my opinion. I will maintain your pets routine along with water plants, bring in mail/packages and keep your home tidy while housesitting. For walks and drop in visits I can replenish food and water, potty and play time along with provide enrichment exhaust their energy before your arrival.
About: We live on 5 acres, approx 1/3-2/3 acre fenced. I am an experienced, responsible person that is also timely and dependable. Our 2 labs are very spoiled. I’ve had dogs for 20+ years and am experienced with giving pets medications if it is required, as well as feeding them. I also have senior pet experience. Medication & food would need to be provided by pet owners. We can accommodate overnight stays. Pets can be in crates or in beds depending on your/their preference. I treat every pet special. Currently my availability is open. I am an early riser up by 5am daily. I work from home and pets can access a fenced yard. I’m familiar with providing daily meds & special meals/food for pets as well. Our 2 labs are friendly and get along with other dogs. Both our dogs are fixed (spayed & neutered). Our backyard is fenced and secured. Our deck has a ramp (no stairs) so easy access for puppies and senior dogs. When you dog is in our backyard they will be supervised. We allow dogs on our furniture.
About: Growing up, I lived on a small farm and have been around animals my whole life. I’ve taken care of other peoples pets as well. I’m currently a teacher, and I will have more availability during the the summer. Right now I’m free on the weekends and also some evenings. I have a fenced in yard as well as my own golden doodle. He loves to have friends over and is very friendly and playful. We also have a Ragdoll kitten that is super sweet and friendly.
About: My experience includes caring for cats and doggies, including pups, with a variety of personalities and energy levels. Super comfortable following detailed care instructions, maintaining feeding and medication schedules when needed, managing puppy potty breaks and exercise, and providing the same attention (and cuddles) for kitties. I prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions to ensure pets feel well cared for! I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to do drop ins when needed as well as at home care/boarding attentively. I also live with my partner who can offer a second set of eyes in the afternoons and evenings! As part of our normal routine to stay active, my partner and I regularly like to step out for sun and take brief walks around the community area—so unless specified otherwise, we are happy to take your doggo along with us on our short walks (during boarding services). We have a two bedroom apartment where pets can roam and hang out in the common living space and guest room, as needed. Pets will not be allowed in our primary bedroom.
About: My dogs are like my children, and I treat other peoples' dogs the same way. I have had dogs growing up and currently have two. Two of our seniors have recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and we miss them dearly. In addition to clients through Rover, I have done dog-sitting for friends and neighbors with great success. I make sure dogs in my care have plenty of companionship and exercise. I believe in rewarding dogs for good behavior rather than punishing them for doing something wrong. I do work full time as a teacher but am home in summers, and my husband works from home most days. If I’m visiting or staying at your house, there is a possibility I would need to bring my children (ages 9 and 7) with me depending on my husband’s schedule, so they would get lots of attention! For boarding, we have a dog door and a fenced in yard, so your pet can roam freely if you choose. We would just need to make sure our dogs all get along! I adore dogs and will shower yours with attention. Dogs in my care get very spoiled with lots of love! I’m a teacher, so I have more time in the summer but do have evening and weekend availability during the school year. If you choose to board, your pet will have 24/7 access to the yard through our dog door! My husband works from home most days with the exception of Wednesdays, so there is almost always someone home with your pet unless we are gone for activities with our kids. I have a fenced in yard, a dog door, and a friendly dog. If your dog is used to having free reign of the house when you’re gone, that will be the case at our house as well, and they will have access to the yard through the dog door. The door does have the ability to lock if escaping the yard is a concern. If your dog doesn’t learn the dog door, we will ensure they are able to get outside plenty. We will also respect any requests to crate during the day or at night.
“Carla. Is a diligent, caring pet professional. This was my first time partnering with Carla and I could not be more pleased. She has vast experience in pet care and instills confidence in her immediately upon netting her. She is friendly, warm , compassionate, and my pup bonded with her milliseconds after meeting her and her pets. Very pleased to have found, Carla. I highly recommend her.”
About: I have taken care of dogs of my own for 15 years and enjoy having other pets around to play with. Speaking from experience it’s nice to have someone you can trust to take care of your pets when you have other responsibilities. I currently work from home several days a week so am available most days. My dogs typically are in and out as much as they want. I have a fenced yard that’s larger so there is plenty of room for outside play time. I’m also available to come to your house to spend time with your pets.
About: I had a dog growing up (Hershey) and helped take care of him. And I have always enjoyed playing with friends' and family's dogs. I absolutely love walking and being outside and would love canine companions to encourage me to do it more! I've hosted one friend's dog at my place already (see pics; that's Georgia sleeping on her little doggy mat in my living room). Overall, lifelong love of dogs + good head on my shoulders = strong instinct for what they need and when. I work from home, and other than a few set calls, I set my own schedule. And I work from a treadmill desk — so when I say I love walking, I mean it! I take frequent breaks to get sunshine and exercise outdoors, so you can expect your dog to get the same! I can keep an eye on your dogs the entire time I have them! I have a fenced-in, upstairs deck (with a staircase that can be easily blocked). And a backyard that is NOT fenced, but where I could tie a leash around one of the deck supports, so your dog can be outdoors as much as they want! Inside, I have a fully hard, vinyl floor upstairs and a carpeted area downstairs, with vinyl flooring in the downstairs kitchen as well. So whichever surface your dog likes to sit on, I can accommodate!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 190 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Apex. 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 Apex 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 190 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MO. 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 MO 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
