“Our experience with Ashley&family taking care of Bruno, was absolutely fantastic! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. From the moment Bruno arrived, we felt completely at ease. She was truly amazing with him, treating him like her own. He was clearly given tons of love, attention, and exercise during his stay. When we picked him up, he was happy, healthy, and full of great energy, which is the best sign a dog owner can ask for! Finally, we have to emphasize her extreme flexibility regarding our check-out time. Our travel plans had an unexpected delay, and Ashley was incredibly accommodating and understanding, making a potentially stressful situation completely stress-free for us. We are so grateful for her willingness to work with our schedule. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her for Bruno again!”
“Brittany was amazing! She and her family took great care of our Daisy. She was kind, caring and provided a warm and welcoming home for our sometimes shy and timid dog. She sent daily updates with pictures and even some videos, which really put us at ease while we were away. We definitely hope to use her again and highly recommend her.”
“Crystal is an absolutely amazing furbaby sitter! I have never been away from my baby for more than 2 days and this trip I took was 7 days - and I never had a worry! My Sammie is almost 15 years old and a bit picky, but once I saw him prancing in the video she sent, I really knew everything was well. I cannot express my appreciation enough! I will be looking for you again next April now that I know I can vacation with peace of mind. Thank you again, Crystal! Book her - she will give your babies love! 😊”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Bruno received during his stay with Lesley and her sweet family! This was his second stay, and the moment we dropped him off, he was so excited to see Lesley. That alone gave us so much peace of mind. Lesley followed every instruction we provided and made sure Bruno stayed on his normal routine. We also loved receiving photo updates twice a day, every day, which helped us relax and enjoy our vacation knowing he was happy, safe, and well cared for. It honestly felt like he was on his own vacation! It’s clear that Lesley and her family genuinely care for the pets they watch, and we are so grateful for the excellent care and communication. We will definitely be booking again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! Thank you Lesley & family!!”
“We had a great experience with Sarah! She kept us updated with lovely photos throughout the stay, which gave us peace of mind. She’s very friendly, caring, and professional. Pumpkin was clearly in good hands. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking again in the future.”
“Kordula was great with our puppy it’s obvious she was well taken care of ! We enjoyed the daily update photos to know our baby girl was in good hands ! Highly recommend !!”
“Yaryna and her family took such great care of my dog, Sky, while I was at a wedding. I could tell Sky had such a good time when I picked him up. Sky’s already looking forward to the next time he can stay there!”
“My dog’s other family, haha. He absolutely adores them, and is well taken care of. Stephanie sent photos and perfect messages every day to put me at ease while I was away from him. I couldn't ask for a more perfect setup as a very energetic puppy who needs a lot of attention and play time.”
“Alison and family were just wonderful to our dog Buddy. She sent pictures every day and he looked very happy and well taken care of. Would definitely highly recommend this sitter, she is great.”
“10 out of 5 stars! I felt so comfortable with Angel and Yara (and daughter Zoe) taking care of my dog. I got every day feedback and videos, and it was obvious my Cooper was happy and well cared for. I was afraid he wouldn’t want to leave and come home with me - but I guess he loves me too. 😁😁😁 Thank you for giving us a worry-free vacation.”
“Left my pup with Tiffany and her family for over a week and I honestly didn’t think he was ready to come home! Tiffany sent pictures and updates and was so so sweet and loving. My pup Zuko has the best time and I honestly think he can’t wait to go back! 100% will be contacting her in the future when Zuko can’t join us on our travels ❤️❤️ 10/10 zukos recommend! :)”
“Andrea is great. We got regular updates with photos and she cares a lot about the pets she watches Sally wasn’t eating her food and Andrea made and added Chicken Broth so Sally would eat. Amazing 🤩”
“Mary and Jonathan rolled out the red carpet for Finley! He had such a great time staying with them. Lots of updates and videos were provided and they really made Finley feel like a member of their family. Finley is excited to stay again soon!”
“Sharon was great with my sweet Marbles. This was his first overnight stay with her. I felt completely comfortable leaving him with Sharon and her 2 adorable dogs after our meet and greet and a day care session to get familiar with each other. When I picked Marbles up after 3 days he seemed very happy. I know I made the right choice trusting Sharon with our fur baby. Thanks Sharon.”
“Chantel was so great with Pippi! She took her on several walks and made sure she was at ease and comfortable throughout her stay. She sent me videos and pictures every day, which was a great touch!”

“Very competent dog sitters,, Dave gave us daily reports on their care as one dog needed medication and observation, and decision-making in regard to the appropriate dose. Great pictures were sent on our Rover app and we felt secure that the dogs were doing well.”
“Cathy was awesome, and our dog had a blast staying with her. She made sure our dog felt comfortable, ate well, and played every day. I would definitely choose her again.”

Erica did a great job taking care of our three dogs during our trip. She kept us up to date on how they were doing and updated us with pictures daily. She was accommodating first taking us on at the last minute (when another reservation fell through), but also in getting us in a meet and greet within days. She was also helpful with our oldest dog who needs a few more outdoor breaks more than most. We couldn’t be more pleased with her care and attention to our dogs. Thank you !!
Kelly was amazing with my dog over the weekend for my trip. She had the best time staying with her. She got constant love and attention throughout the weekend, and Kelly kept me up-to-date with photos, videos and messages. I’ll definitely be using her services 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Apex on Rover is $49.37 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,060 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.
