“So grateful to Ashley & PJ for always being so kind and flexible ❤️ We never have to worry when Cooper is with them, which means so much to us. Thank you again for helping us out last minute!”
“This is my second time using Sayaka. Very nice people, I do not worry at all about my dog because I know he is with dog another dog family. Great about sending updates. Thank you again! We really appreciate it.”
“Lesley and her family took such amazing care of our dog, Banjo. Banjo was happy, relaxed, and clearly felt at home with them. She kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can really tell that she and her family genuinely love animals and treat them like part of their own family. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Tori and her family took such great care of our small older dog who has some health issues including med administration needs and occasional pain due to previous cancer. Everything from getting holly to their home (Tori last minute offered to pick Holly Up and this was a godsend because our trip was last minute and we were trying to coordinate many other things) to start her visit to pick up and updates in between were great. Her sons are very gentle and natural animal lovers so that was not any concern even though our dog generally prefers calm environments. I would highly recommend Tori and her family for caring for your pet!”
“We are SO happy to have found Stephanie. Just an absolute dream to work with: So friendly, accommodating (our pup had an ear issue pop up before our trip and Stephanie had no problem giving her ear drops), and just overall amazing. You can feel completely comfortable working with Stephanie!! Thank you so much!”
“Kelly took care of my boy Oreo for almost 3 weeks. Oreo enjoyed every moment, playing with his doggy friends and her children. Her (almost daily) pictures kept my mind at ease. She is the best!! Thanks Kelly!”
“Andrea is a true dog lover and quickly formed a great bond with Flow. She provided nightly updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Andrea is also very flexible, and we’re happy to have her as Flow’s sitter.”
“David & Stephanie were wonderful! The daily updates and photos were much appreciated, and my pup came home tired and happy. Will definitely be using them again ❤️”
“Tiffany was wonderful with our dog Chief! She was flexible on drop off and pickup and very communicative all around. It was our first time using her as a sitter and we will definitely continue. Chief had a great time and came home happy, tired, and healthy!”
“Dianne was so caring to our Teddy.. She is a kind hearted human and she took such good care of Teddy. She genuinely care and you can feel it the moment you see her. Thank you so much Dianne!”

“Crystal kept my dog for a 7-day overnight stay. She was easy to work with. My dog was calm and relaxed when I picked him up after his stay. I believe he was well taken care of by Crystal and her family.”

She provided detailed daily check-ins with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she is a true dog lover and genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dog. Her kids were wonderful as well and clearly loved having our pup there. Our dog was absolutely spoiled with attention and care. We are so grateful to Erica and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!”
“Britt enjoyed her stay with Ashley! Ashley was very organized and kept us updated with just enough pics and notes to ensure we felt at ease with Britt in her care. We will definitely return!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apex
Gricel is awesome. Her backyard? Amazing. Outdoor time with our pups? Plentiful since she works from home like we do. Her dog? Loved playing with ours, fetch, shared toys. Communication was also great - intro call, sending pictures and video updates during their stay (1.5 weeks). Our dogs looked so happy, exhausted and we wondered if they would ever want to come home from "camp". If we are ever in the area again or really in a 2 hour radius we would absolutely use Gricel again.
Kelsey and Trevor took such good care of Moi! He had an amazing time playing with Darcy and Delilah. it’s the best to have buddies for everyday play dates. I loved the updates and they were even able to take him on long walks. I feel so lucky to have found someone who cares this much. We will definitely be back! 😊 🐾Thank you so much!!
Kara took excellent care of my fur baby while I was gone. She kept me up to date with pics and feedback. My baby was definitely spoiled by her. I will definitely book with her again when needed. Highly recommend if you need someone to look after your dog and who only looks after one dog at a time.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Apex
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Apex on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,063 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Apex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
96% of Apex sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Apex landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
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.
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 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.
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.
