“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!”
“Crystal has always been great with Teddy but this time around for our longer trip, she went above and beyond. His fur tends to get very matted so I requested she brush him and he came home with no matting and I am feeling so grateful! Highly recommend her care!!”
“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!”
“Kona was well taken care of by Yaryna and her family. She came home happy and full of energy. I got daily updates on how she was doing. She also got some good walks, which not all Rover sitters will do. I liked how she only takes one pet at a time. Very happy.”
“Stephanie and her family were fantastic, helping me out and making me feel really comfortable with leaving my puppy overnight. She sent me pictures throughout, and I know he was well cared for. He came home tired and snuggly, the sign of a fun time!! I absolutely recommend Stephanie and her family.”
“Andrea is great! She is so compassionate and accommodating to the specific needs of my dog. She kept me updated the entire time and sent photos throughout. Cannot thank her enough!”
“David and Stephanie were amazing with Luke! I received constant updates and pics. They took special care and made sure he was comfortable. I highly recommend them!”
“Cathy was a wonderful sitter! She followed all our instructions, sent lots of updates and pics, and genuinely connected with our pup. We felt so good knowing our dog was in great hands. Would absolutely book with Cathy again!”
“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!”
“Michelle and Jose were absolutely amazing with Delilah! They accepted our booking last minute, which was such a huge relief, and from the moment we dropped her off, I knew she was in great hands. They have so much experience with dachshunds, and it really showed. They understood Delilah’s personality and needs, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving her for the weekend. Throughout her stay, they kept me updated with messages and pictures, so I never had to wonder how she was doing. If you’re looking for sitters who are knowledgeable, accommodating, and genuinely care about your dog, I can’t recommend Michelle and Jose enough! We will definitely be booking with them again!”
“Such excellent care for our dog Grayson! I knew immediately that he was being well taken care of with their great communication through pictures and videos. Grayson was welcomed into their family and received a lot of attention, play, and engagement. The next time I need a Petsitter, I will seek them out and hope they are available!”
“Kirsten is an absolute gem!! Bennie had the BEST weekend with her. She was so attentive, responsive, and flexible, and truly loves animals so much. Could not recommend her enough!”
“Sharon is wonderful and caring. Lucy is 12 years old and slow to warm up to new experiences. Lucy sure warmed up to Sharon and her sweet dogs. My only concern is Lucy may expect better treatment at home now. She sent updates and pictures which we all enjoyed. Thanks Sharon for being Lucy’s home away from home.”
“Apollo had a great stay with Chantel. She made sure my fur baby was comfortable and cared for. Chantel sent pictures, updates and just spoiled him! Thanks much! Will use Chantel again.”
“I cannot recommend Dan and Kevin highly enough! From the very beginning, they’ve been absolutely incredible—caring, attentive, and truly dedicated to making sure Leo feels happy and safe. They go above and beyond by sending tons of adorable photos and super detailed messages that always brighten my day. It’s so comforting to know my furry kid is in such loving hands while I’m away. Thank you for everything!”

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.

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.
