“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!”
“Stephanie is by far and away the best dog sitter in Pensacola. She was easy to contact, quick to reply and provided daily pictures of Wilbur. I would highly recommend her and her husband, and their home to anyone needing over night dog sitting.”
“Tania is an amazing person and an excellent sitter. She took very good care of our pet Teddy. He had an amazing time playing in the backyard. He looked so happy and content in the photos. Tania took him out for walks and even played with him. She took really good care of Teddy. Thank you so much Tania.”
“Diego was wonderful watching our dog while we were out of town. He shared photos and videos, and ensured she got lots of fun and playtime. Would definitely consider having Diego dog sit again!”
“Jenny is excellent and took great care of my dog and treated her like family and was giving me updates and pictures of her every Day and she gave me a piece of mind knowing she’s in safe hands with Jenny . Definitely recommend and will use her again for future”
“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.”
“Erica was the perfect sitter for Cole! She followed his routine and took such great care of him. She gave him all the cuddles he needed! Will definitely have Cole stay at her place again!”
“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!”
“Anna and Rob was so sweet and caring for Winnie! She loves her weekend for fun by the pool. We had lots of great pictures and knew Winnie was happy and we'll loved. Thank you Anna and Rob.”
“It was our first experience with Danielle. She was very professional, very responsive with her communications. She was very caring and loving towards our 4 year old German Shepherd. We felt very confident from the moment we left and till pickup that our pet was in safe hands. We would highly recommend her services to any and all pet owners who are looking for dedicated home care for their furry kids. THANK YOU VERY MUCH DANIELLE!”
“Ravon and her husband were the nicest people! They took great care of out 3 cats, Great communicator! Sent pictures and updates to let us know how the cats were doing, highly recommend.”
“Gingers visit with Christian was awesome. He has a great yard for pets to stretch their legs and run. During Gingers stay I received updates and pictures of how she was doing. I highly recommend Christian to anyone that is looking for an awesome pet sitter.”
“Alison was awesome with our high energy Australian Shepherd puppy. We needed to go out of town last minute where she was able to watch our Josie. We loved the updates and pictures. I would definitely use Alison again.”
“Amanda was awesome, it was the best experience we've had through Rover in Durham. Communication was so easy, she was very flexible, and it was obvious our dog was well taken care of. Can't wait to book with her again!”
“Our dog, Katya, was well taken care of during her stay with Evan at his farm. She enjoyed running around the farm and playing with the other dogs. She was very happy and relaxed on her return home. Would recommend Evan!”
“Erica is a fantastic petsitter! She sent me updates, photos and videos of Lucy everyday. Lucy was clearly having a blast, lots of running around in the fenced backyard and playing with all of the other dogs. I will definitely ask her and her family take care of Lu next time.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Apex is $45
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apex
My last rover moved away and we were planning a trip to London. I was a little nervous for my senior dog to experience new surroundings while going out of the country. We saw Brittany on rover and reached out, and am so glad we did. Everything went well - from the meet & greet, the daycare visit we made to help get our pup more comfortable before the trip, to the entire week of the trip itself. Brittany took such good care of our pup that it helped us enjoy our vacation that much more, knowing he was in great hands.
Alison, Tim and their children provided great care of Teddy. Alison sent so many pictures I felt like I was there! Teddy had story time and played dress up with their daughter, went for a ride and fishing with their son. He went on plenty of walks - honestly he was on vacation too. My family even joked that he wouldn't want to come home. We don't have any other trips planned but when we do we will look to see if Alison and Tim can watch Teddy 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!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Apex is $50 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $67 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 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 routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Apex can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Apex home-away-from-home, 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 , 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 .
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.
