Mara did a fantastic job with all our animals while we were away in our 6 day vacation! She house sat with them for the full time and kept them from being lonely and sad. Everyone was well taking care of and the house looked as good if not better than it did when we left. We got daily pictures of everyone and many updates throughout the day. We will definitely use Mara again in the future!

Maria did a great job taking care of Charlie. She also made sure the house was exactly like we left it. The only glitch was a problem with her schedule that delayed her initial arrival. I would definitely use Maria again.

Makenzey was nothing short of amazing! She stayed with my girls, she cuddled them as if they were her own. She sent pictures and updates every day that let me know my girls were happy and comfortable with her. She left the house spotless as well. We will definitely call on her again! 5+ ⭐️

About: Hi! I'm an experienced and dependable pet sitter with over 8 years of pet and house-sitting experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I also spent one year working at a boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for multiple pets in a professional setting and learned the importance of maintaining routines, providing enrichment, and recognizing signs that a pet may need extra attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand that every animal has unique needs. My 7-year-old Labrador is diabetic, so I'm comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and insulin injections. Whether your pet needs extra medical care, a consistent routine, or just lots of love and attention, I'm happy to provide compassionate, reliable care. During the week, I'm available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and overnight house sitting. My weekends are typically booked, so my availability is primarily Monday through Thursday! My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, while giving you peace of mind through dependable communication and attentive care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I am currently in school and work full-time at a hospital Friday-Sunday. Due to my restrictions on the weekends, my primary availability is during the week. I am available for drop-ins or house sitting during the week and can accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I also love to send updates throughout the time I spend with your pets, so expect some cute photos!

Billie was awesome! She went above and beyond to make sure Deuce was happy and had lots of attention. The house was picked up when we got home and she even made sure to grab our Mail and put it on the kitchen table. Billie did more than we asked her to. She even trimmed his nails! I can honestly say that Deuce is hoping we travel again soon so he can have his new friend watch him again. If you are in need of a sitter, I highly recommend Billie.

About: I've taken care of a multitude of different dogs since I was 13-14. Neighbors, friends, family have relied on me to take care of their fur babies. I feed, walk, bathe, and nourish their pets as if they were my own. I'm currently in school still right now but I have plenty of time on the weekends and after 3pm during the week. Once the summer picks up I will be more available I come with a positive attitude ready to take care of your pets as if they were mine. I find joy in the outdoors so taking your animals out to get some fresh air is no problem.

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover who’s never known life without a furry best friend by my side. I’ve cared for pups of every size from tiny Pomeranians you can carry in one arm to giant Great Danes that think they’re lap dogs! I grew up on a farm surrounded by six dogs of all different breeds, so I know how to handle big packs, big energy, and big personalities. Dogs are truly my happy place. Whether your pup is a playful ball of zoomies, a gentle giant, or a sweet cuddle buddy, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. Long walks, belly rubs, playtime in the yard, or just lots of cozy snuggles I do it all, and I do it with a smile! 🐾 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday: Available after 4 PM 🐾 Wednesday & Sunday: Fully available all day! 🐾 Flexible for early mornings, evenings, and weekends just ask! I work part-time from 8 AM to 4 PM on weekdays (except Wednesday), but I’m happy to work around your schedule to give your pets the love and care they need. Ensuring the safety and well-being of your pets is my utmost priority. While I do not provide boarding services at my residence, I am fully committed to delivering attentive and professional care within your home. Whether through dog walking, pet visits, or check-ins, I adhere strictly to your instructions and maintain a calm, secure environment to ensure your pets feel comfortable and cared for in your absence. You can have full confidence that your beloved animals will be treated with the highest level of respect and dedication.

Audrey (and her friend Devin) were amazing! She was very flexible with arrival and departure times for our Moose, a 3 year old pup, who loved playing with her fur baby, Duke, as well! She was able to stop by our home twice before the dates we needed her for to meet her and her fur baby and they were both very sweet. Audrey updated me while I was away to ensure my dog was okay and also was very great with giving him plenty of love and attention all throughout the day! Moose was very tired the next day so I know she got plenty of play time and exercise in during her stay. We came home to a clean house that was exactly how we left it. Audrey was overall was very accomodating, sweet, trustworthy, and made it very easy for me to feel comfortable leaving my pup. Thank you Audrey and Devin! Moose can't wait to see you again next weekend ?

FAQs for House Sitting - Apex

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of August 2026, there are 370 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Apex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Apex walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Apex maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Apex choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apex. On Rover:

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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.
