“I recently moved to NC and needed to find boarding for my dachshund, and I’m so grateful I found Ashley! From our very first conversation through the meet-and-greet and then the big event — his two-night stay — she truly went above and beyond. I felt completely at ease leaving Barkley with her. Her genuine love and care for animals is apparent, and she treated him like one of her own. She sent regular updates and photos, which made being away from him so much easier. I will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate care for their pup!”
“Tim and Jen and their sweet family were amazing to my fur baby. He loved all the special attention from the kiddos and received countless pets and snuggles. I returned home to a very happy (and tired lol) boy! Definitely will be booking again and recommend this sweet family!”
“Kordula took excellent care of my dog. She was very communicative throughout the stay, regularly sending pictures and updates, which gave us great peace of mind. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about our dog. I highly recommend Kordula and would definitely book with her again!”
“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.”
“This couple has a warm, welcoming, and loving home! They are extremely flexible, and checked in everyday we were gone! Will definitely use again as long as they’ll have my two little monsters. :)”
“David and Stephanie took great care of my girl. We were able to do a quick meet and greet with David before my trip. They were very accommodating and wonderful about sending me updates about Honey’s day with photos of her. I will definitely be using them whenever possible for future travels.”
“Tania is a wonderful host boarder. Regularly provided pics and brief videos of our dog. Took her on walks and cared for her as her own. We will certainly schedule with her again.”
“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!!”
“Chantel was so sweet! She took great care of our girl Baka while we were out of town. Great with communication and making sure Baka felt comfortable. We will definitely be back”
“Sarah took very good care of our 15 yr old dog Royce. She sent pictures and made sure he got just what he needed, lots of love! Would definitely recommend her and will use her again!”
“Cathy is the absolute best Rover we have ever used! She sent us frequent updates with pictures, went above and beyond to provide the best care, was extremely flexible with drop-off/pick-up & treated Olivia like she was her own! Couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Tiffany is very quick in communication and provide details on request very quick and prompt. Very friendly and accommodative in timings. Will definitely send Simba to her again.”
“We are very happy with Kevin and Dan on how they took good care of our Coco. He had a nice time at their place and enjoyed with other pet friends. We are also happy that we got multiple updates with pictures. We will definitely like to have them for our future pet-sitter needs.”
“This was such a great experience overall! She took such great care of our girl! We got her back happy and loved!!! We got great photos and updates throughout our trip as well! We feel really grateful to ga e found such a great rover sitter!”
“Mary and Jonathan went above and beyond when watching my pup! She got plenty of exercise, potty breaks, and cuddles. They provided consistent updates with pictures, videos, and messages and were incredibly understanding and flexible when my travel plans changed on short notice. For the first time, I didn't feel anxious leaving my pup behind when I was out of town. I will definitely be rebooking with them.”

Archana took wonderful care of our two Doodles while we were gone. She made sure they were comfortable, had a lot of play time, plenty of breaks and walks, and sent lots of updates that we loved. Archana is a wonderful sitter and we would highly recommend her and hope to stay with her again!
Tim, Alison, and their kids took the best care of my pup Riv! I was extremely nervous because I’d never left Riv with anyone before. Almost immediately, my mind was at ease and I knew Riv was going to be well taken care of. They treated him as if he was a part of their family - that’s the highest compliment I can give! I’ll definitely be choosing Tim and Alison every time we need care for Riv moving forward.
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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Apex on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 2,059 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.
