“Excellent service as always! I'm so glad my cats feel safe enough to come out and greet her since they're so skittish around people. Her updates are always thorough and reassuring. As long as Monica is available, she will always be my first choice to care for my pets while I'm away ❤️”
“This was the first time leaving my cat and dog. Rachel did a great job with updates, photos, giving medication to my senior dog, and overall kindness and caring of my fur babies!”
“She was so attentive to our boy while we were gone, sent the sweetest thoughtful updates about him and so many pictures! Couldn't have asked for a better pet sitting experience.”
“Ella was amazing with our kitty. This was our first time ever having some one watch her and we were very nervous. Ella went above and beyond sending us pictures and detailed messages which truly put our minds at ease while we were away for the week. Our cat also hides from strangers but Ella and her were besties in no time! Thank you thank you.”
“Sarah was absolutely amazing with our two ridgebacks! I can honestly say they have never seemed happier while we’ve been away. From the moment we left, I knew they were getting so much love and attention and being cared for as if they were her own dogs. She kept me updated with the cutest pictures and thoughtful details about how they were doing, which gave me so much peace of mind and made it so much easier to relax while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and took the time to make sure they felt comfortable, loved, and happy. The nicknames were spot on and kept us laughing! Sarah is reliable, attentive, trustworthy, and truly has a special way with animals. We came home to two very happy, well-loved dogs, and I couldn’t ask for more from a dog sitter. We feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will truly love and care for their pets like family! Sarah will always be our first call 💗”
“Tibbs LOVED his time with Jordan. I hired her for the first time through Rover and couldn't be happier. She was communicative and responsive. She handled everything id asked, sent plenty of pictures and videos, and most importantly made my baby feel loved and cared for while I was away. She is our new cat sitter after this trip! It was so nice to have the reassurance of her drop in visits while I was away for a week. And to see how much my cat loved her!! Highly recommend her as a trustworthy petsitter for your fur babies :)”
“Caitlin was amazing. She was prompt, she kept us updated with pictures and took the best care of our babies! I highly recommend her and will def be contacting her again in the future for care!”

About: I became a sitter so that I could spend quality time with other animals. I really enjoy making dogs feel like they are at home, comfy and safe. My partner and I currently working from home most of the time and enjoy watching dogs at our house. We have a doggy door if your pet is used to doggy doors. I have a very small fenced yard, and can mostly accommodate all schedules and needs. I work from home mostly and am available to spend lots of time with animals if needed. I can also provide photos and video updates of your pet’s day.

“Excellent drop-in sitter! We needed someone to let check on our 15 year-old labradoodle while we were at an all day volleyball tournament and after the meet and greet with Jackie, we knew our old lady was in good hands! Jackie sent a video update each time and left excellent note on the app. We will definitely be reaching out to her again!”

Kelly is the ABSOLUTE BEST! My fiancé and I have never used a dog sitting service and we were a bit anxious to have someone come to our home to take care of our 2 dogs. Kelly and Scott were beyond understanding, super accommodating, and all around amazing with dogs! My pups have some separation issues and my border collie mix, while happy to see me, didn’t show any signs of distress or anxiety. I can’t thank them enough and if you use them for watching your pups, you are in phenomenal hands!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jade was wonderful with Prince! She took great care of him, communicated well throughout, and followed all of our care instructions. It was reassuring knowing Prince was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Jade and would be happy to have her care for Prince again!

David was a great friend to our pup Belle while we were out of town! He gave us consistent updates and let us know about any issues or challenges Belle was facing as an elderly dog. Belle loved her walks and were so grateful to know she was well cared for while we were away. Will book again!
Wendy is absolutely a wonderful person. I met her just for 10 minutes before giving her the keys of my house and the care of my two dogs. I just moved to the area and had an emergency that was going to take me out of the state. She kept me informed of everything, she took them for walks but more than anything she gave me peace of mind during one of the most difficult times of my life, the loss of my mother. I highly recommend her services and absolutely will put in her hands my fur babies.
Monica was terrific! Very professional and personable. I could tell from the pictures she would send while on her walks with my two doodles, they were comfortable with her. Knowing she was with my dogs gave me an extra sense of comfort while being away from my boys. I would definitely book her again.
Our experience with Kayla was wonderful! She took such great care of our dogs over the weekend and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We came home to happy pups! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable and caring pet sitter!
Sarah is an amazing dog sitter! She always goes above and beyond, sending us regular pictures and updates that give us so much peace of mind. It’s clear how much she cares, our dog absolutely loves her. We’re so grateful to have found someone so reliable, attentive, and kind. Highly recommend!

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Apex choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
