“Courtney was phenomenal. Very courteous, friendly, prompt and caring. She was available in a pinch and even cleaned up an accident. I will definitely use her again.”

About: Hi! I’m Anjali, a lifelong animal lover that wants to help take care of your loved ones. I like to focus on you and your pets needs, and adapting myself to y’all’s specific ways of doing things. I am big on taking photos and giving you lots of updates! I currently work from home, so your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and care if you’d like me to stay with them! My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I follow your pet’s routine closely—whether that’s multiple walks, feeding schedules, or just lots of cuddles. I work from home, so outside of meeting times, I have lots of flexibility to meet your pets needs and wants! I also send regular updates with photo/video so you always know how your pet is doing. I have always been a conscious guest in homes. I’d be extra diligent to be sure I’m taking care of your pets and your home during any services. Being welcomed into someone’s life and home is a big deal to me, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll be sure to go at the pace of your pets, giving both you and them the reassurance that they can trust me.
“Monica was so wonderful with all 3 of my cats while I was gone for 10 days. She made sure they got lots of attention, followed all instructions left to a T, and even brought in our mail! I was so comfortable while traveling knowing that my cats were well cared for. Her detailed updates and photos each day allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worry.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. For the past few years, I’ve been trusted by friends and family to care for their dogs and cats while they’re away, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m dependable, responsible, and understand how important it is for pets to stay on their normal routine. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and reliable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I am working to start my own business, so my schedule is very flexible. I am able to step away from work almost anytime. I understand how important it is to be reliable and available. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’ll follow your instructions closely to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I have experience working with younger dogs and reinforcing basic training, so I’m comfortable encouraging good behaviors while keeping walks fun and positive. If needed, I can safely crate your dog or cat according to your instructions. I love giving dogs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. If your pet enjoys longer outings, I’d be happy to take them on walks at local spots like Apex Nature Park around Lake Pine or other pet-friendly trails, with your permission. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, well cared for, and receiving plenty of attention and affection while you’re away.
“We had a great experience with Sabrina and we plan to ask her help again taking care of our cats in future. She sent plenty of updates and pictures and when we came back our babies were calm as if we didn't leave.”
“Karen did a great job taking care of my cat Reedy for the week. During orientation, she was present and prepared—having read Reedy’s care instructions well. During the booking, she communicated well and was flexible to resolve an initial hiccup. Highly recommended.”
About: I have a variety of animal experience, ranging from reptiles to horses and cows! I’ve owned cats my entire life, as well as taking care of neighbors/families/friends dogs for the past 6 years. Throughout highschool I worked closely with horses whether that be riding or interning at a horse barn. Additionally, I’ve taken 3 years of animal science courses including earning my Veterinary Assisting Certification. This has provided me with a multitude of hands on experience with animals of all sizes and ages, including senior animals and animals needing close medical care; I have experience administering medication to a variety of animals. While studying animal science at Penn state I am gaining more classroom/hands on experience with large animals through my coursework and club involvement. Lastly, this summer I am working as a Kennel tech where I am in charge of caring for and playing with a range of dogs simultaneously. I work part time as a kennel tech 4-5 days a week giving me a ton of free time to spend with your pets! I care for my own cats on the daily by feeding them, cleaning their living area, and playing with them. I am in the triangle area until I move back to school on August 20th! While I am not able to provide services within my own home, I will treat yours as my top priority. I am very confident in new spaces and adapting to whatever makes your pet the most comfortable.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience with dogs, cats, and small animals, and spent four years working as a Veterinary Assistant in Wilmington and Chapel Hill. I treat every pet as if they were my own, offering patience, safety, and lots of love. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and deeply loved while you’re away. I currently work from home running a small business. I do not work every day. I am flexible and available to help you out when needed. I have a Labrador Retriever and two senior, friendly domestic shorthair cats of my own. While you’re away, I care for your pets as if they were my own. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs. I like to keep a log for you on how they did and how things went for our time together. We have a nice sized home to accommodate your furry friend. Pets are allowed upstairs. We are happy to have your baby sleep on his or her bed in our room at night, or a crate if that’s what they are used to. Please supply your pet’s favorite bed or crate. Pets are allowed on the couch. We have a large, fenced back yard for those pups that like to sunbathe or sniff around during the day! I focus on calm, gentle care, plenty of affection (when welcomed), and making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m attentive to behavior, appetite, and overall well-being, and I communicate regularly so you have peace of mind.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apex
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.
Kelly has been fantastic helping us get our pup through a routine change. Our pup is too big to bring to work now and leaving him at home for the day uncrated has been a challenge. But Kelly was up for the challenge and has been extremely helpful! Thanks Kelly!
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.
Booked jade last minute for a trip we’d be away for and she was so great. She communicated with us throughout her time with our dog, she seemed to care a great deal for him, and was timely with the pictures while there as well. Would definitely book again and recommend!
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!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Apex stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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. 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
