“Charlotte did an amazing job with drop-ins and dog walking. She had great communication and was attentive throughout the whole week. I would highly recommend her services!”
About: I’ve always been around dogs since I was a child, recently I’ve had 3 dogs in one household taking care of them, I wouldn’t call myself an expert, but I do know the basics on taking care of dogs! i’m currently working part time and i don’t have a set schedule meaning i could work anyday. however i do usually get 3 days off to pet sit! I have a 1 year old orange cat named biscuit, i absolutely adore him and he’s been with me since he was a baby. me and my dad treat him with lots of love and respect and I will treat everything in your home as value, making sure I handle everything with care, including your pets!
“Angie was great with our dogs while we were out of town, feeding, giving medications, and letting them outside. We have a senior dog and Angie was gentle and responsive to her needs. She was always very responsive throughout all our communications. Will definitely use Angie again!”
“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.”
About: I’m an experienced and loving pet sitter who’s been caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for several years. I started out helping family friends and my mom’s clients, and I quickly realized how much I love spending time with animals — whether it’s going for walks, giving belly rubs, or just being a calm, trusted presence while their people are away. Volunteering with animals has taught me to be gentle, patient, and responsible. You can count on me to show up on time, follow instructions carefully, and treat your pets and home with respect. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring sitter who will love your pets like her own, I’d love to meet them! I’ve always enjoyed being around animals. I have 3 cats at home and enjoy being able to eake up every morning with them by my side. I spend plenty of time with them during the day and even at night when they sleep at the foot of my bed. Spending time with animals isn’t something forced or unwanted towards me, it’s just something I enjoy being a part of my day. I offer drop-in visits, walks, and weekend stays, and I always provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I understand that every pet has their own routines and quirks — I take the time to get to know each one’s personality and make them feel safe and loved.
“Kristina did an amazing job pet sitting my cat! Every day she provided pictures and a detailed report card, along with an occasional video, which I really appreciated and made me confident he was being well taken care of. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Our second Rover with Isabelle and we couldn't be happier. She takes care of our dog with so much care, and our cats don't even require care (we have automatic things for them) and she will still send photos of them and love on them. Very happy with her service and highly recommend.”
“Would really recommend Brinn as a pet caretaker!!! Brinn was able to accommodate a “last minute” request and roll with it. She is very thoughtful about requests for pet care, very communicative, and gave my pets ample attention!”
About: I have been taking care of pets for 20+ years. Friends and family always left their fur babies with us. My wife is a certified vet tech so your animals will be in excellent care in our home! I currently work where we live so I can pop in all day and take our furry friends out to potty whenever they need. We also come home for lunch so they will get lots of love even on days we have to work! We have two friendly golden retrievers and one cat who love other animals. We do live in an apartment community but we have a double gated agility park for the pups that we utilize all the time so they will still get all of their energy out! We make sure all pets we take care of are checked on multiple times throughout the day! Even on work days we make sure they go out on lunch! We make sure they have lots of potty breaks and lots of love! Depending on the pet, we play lots of fetch, go on lots of walks and many other things based on their favorite things to do (:
“Jessica did such a wonderful job of taking care of our cats over Christmas, she even brought them both cute little stockings with toys! Jessica updated us with lots of photos everyday and just what they were up to while she came by! She truly went above and beyond around our home cats aside. Would highly recommend!”
“Kate was amazing with Barkley and Bandit. She came last minute for a drop-in walk when I was in a pinch. I already have her booked for another house sitting so I would obviously highly recommend. She sends great videos and photos as well.”
“Courtney is always fantastic with Orion. On April 29, she had two huskies: my Orion and my friend’s dog, Levi. She was super with them, taking them on walks by the pier and just having fun and hanging out with them. She is the best!!!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better pup sitter for my little Ellie. From the moment I left, I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such caring and capable hands. Elias went above and beyond to make sure Ellie was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of during my time away. I especially appreciated the regular updates, photos, and little notes about how she was doing—it really reassured me that she was enjoying herself and getting lots of love and attention. When family retuned home, Ellie was relaxed, happy, and clearly well cared for. It’s not easy trusting someone else with your pet, but Elias made the whole experience stress-free. I would absolutely recommend Elias to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with him again!”
“Kasey gave excellent care to my cat while we were out of town. It was also on a Holliday and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Our space was clean when we got home, and our cat fed and happy. Couldn’t ask for a better rover and would highly reccomend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Hi, my name is Kira. (Preferred name: Chanell) I may appear new to Rover, but I promise this isn’t my first rodeo. Pre Covid I was a sitter here on rover with a close friend of mine. This is MY first solo rover account so I’m open to question if anyone has any reservations about my abilities. I’m a big animal advocate. Since a little girl I’ve always had deep feelings when it came to animals. I believe their feelings matter so much and if you pay close attention they do communicate with us. I’d love to care for your babies while you’re away. I’m here to help in anyway I can & provide peace of mind for you & them. It’s more than a gig. It’s my life’s goal to make a difference. One pet at a time. I work M-T and my weekends are always free. I’m very into fitness and getting moving. Caring for your fur baby would be a great addition to my routine. I want your fur baby to be as comfortable as possible which is why I currently only provide drop-in visits & walks. I want to keep them in their world instead of trying to pull them into mine. I adapt to their space so that they can continue to feel safe and secure.
About: As a proud dog dad to two dogs of my own, I have plenty of experience caring for multiple dogs and cats. I love keeping pets happy, active, and well cared for, whether that means playtime, walks, or simply giving them some extra love and attention. I’ll treat your pets like family! 🐾 I alternate between working from home and office each week. While working from home, I am available for most parts of the day. While in office I am available in the evenings after 5 o’clock pm. I have two friendly dogs at home. I do not have a fenced in yard. If the dogs need to be separated I do have a fence that can be used.
About: What truly sets me apart is a lifetime spent volunteering in the animal welfare space. I haven’t just owned and watched pets; I have dedicated years to handling animals of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, including senior pets, rescues, farm animals and even some more unusual species. Because of this diverse background, I deeply care for and seek to understand animal behavior. I respect cats for their independent confidence and have a natural patience that allows me to connect with even the most timid or stubborn dogs. Whether your pet requires strict medical routines, specialized senior care, or just someone who will genuinely obsess over making them feel safe and loved, I treat every animal with the individualized respect they deserve. I am that friend that stops the conversation to pet all the cute dogs or cats in strollers on a sidewalk :) I work from home, so I have flexibility with my availability to care for your pets, whether it be drop ins or staying with them. I tailor my routine to the environment or routines you have set up with your pet in your home. I believe they do best when I can mirror what you do with them as closely as possible.
“Eliza took great care of my extra large dog while I was gone! She sent me several pictures and updated me with anything important! My dog can be difficult to maneuver around other dogs and she had no issues! Very sweet and professional, highly recommended her to anyone needing a rover!”
“Sarah is amazing!!!! We don't trust many people with our kitty cats but sarah is dependable, trustworthy and most of all accepted and adored by two VERY picky cats 🐈!! She is 100000% our go to sitter. She always goes above and beyond to do a phenomenal job. You won't find a more loving person of animals on this app than sarah in our opinion.”

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!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Apex is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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 5,363 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Apex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Apex with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
