“Courtney was amazing! We had never used a service like this for our fur babies, and were very skeptical. She put us at ease immediately! Her demeanor and professionalism not only helped us, but showed in the way our dogs reacted to her at first meeting. She took notes and asked all the right questions. She was very patient with us, and answered all of our crazy questions with grace. During our time away she was very reliable at giving us updates and fun pictures of our girls enjoying their time together. She went above and beyond to take great care of them. We highly recommend Courtney and hope she is available every time we need a sitter!”
“Andrei did an excellent job taking care of both of my dogs. I highly recommend him for any breed. I have a large mastiff, and he and Andre instantly bonded. Andrea is also very communicative and responsive when needed.”
“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.”
“Sabrina provided outstanding care for our pets. She was on time every days and provided pictures of very happy animals. We will definitely rebook with her in the future when needed.”
“Savannah has a wonderful personality and has SUCH a way with animals. Our Louie quickly fell in love with her and was well cared for during the check in. She truly provides quality care and it’s more than we could ever ask for! Thank you so much for everything Savannah! We can’t wait to use you again in the future!!”
“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: Huge animal lover here! I’m the live-in aunt of two sweet Golden Doodles (Winston and Winslow), as well as the cat mom to two Siamese (Boots and Kiwi) - all of which I’m totally obsessed with. Having taken full time care of all of them for 4 years, as well as many family and friends’ pet sitting opportunities, I’m excited to expand and offer the same attentive, loving care to your pets. Whether it’s daily walks or cozy drop-in visits, I treat every animal like my own with reliable updates and personalized attention. I work later afternoons at 3:30 so I’m available for morning and afternoon walks before 2pm! My schedule is very consistent so I’m available for recurring visits. I’ve gone to many homes to pet sit for multiple days at a time. I help keep the animals calm and feel comfortable even with separation anxieties.
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.
About: Hi! I’m Anjali, a lifelong animal lover that wants to help take care of your loved ones. If you’re comfortable with it, I often provide care (especially for overnights) with my husband Ryan, who’s grown up with pets his whole life and this means your loved ones get double the care and attention! 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.
About: Going on vacation or out of town? I would love to care for your dogs where they will be loved, safe and comfortable, given lots of attention and can exercise, play, and socialize! Customized care is available for special needs or senior dogs. I am a life-long dog owner and have been dog boarding and pet sitting for 15 years. I am insured and bonded. Dog boarding is what I do full-time, so I am available to take care of your pups anytime, 7 days a week! They will be cared for and receive attention during the day and overnight. We have a large, fully fenced yard and our home is clean and smoke free. The entire house is theirs to play and relax in. We have plenty of comfortable, clean, and freshly washed dog beds. If you prefer, you can also bring your own bedding. They are always lots of clean toys and there is a dog door to the backyard. For the safety and serenity of all guests, dogs must be non-aggressive and up-to-date on shots.
“Pamela took such good care of our pups! Her communication is on point and I never had to worry. She was so sweet to take in my mail/packages too. We will definitely be contacting Pamela for future pet sits!!”
“Carlito was so well taken care of while I was gone. Vincent was friendly, professional, and communicative through out the whole reservation. I had several pictures from each visit. I came back to a very happy kitten. Thank you for all you did, Vincent.”
About: Hi! My husband and I have over 8 years experience with taking care of cats, dogs, small animals, reptiles and amphibians. I’m a passionate animal lover and a dedicated pet caregiver based in North Carolina. In addition to providing pet care through Rover, I am also a volunteer with the SPCA, where I help care for cats and support animal welfare efforts in my community. I have experience caring for cats with a variety of personalities, from playful and social cats to those who are shy or need extra patience and reassurance. I understand the importance of maintaining routines, keeping litter boxes clean, providing enrichment and playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I believe every pet deserves individualized care, attention, and kindness. Whether your cat needs a quiet companion, daily care visits, or extra affection while you’re traveling, I will treat them as if they were my own. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work remotely from home, which allows me to spend most of my day with the pets in my care. Aside from occasional gym visits and errands, I am typically home throughout the day and evening. This means your pet will receive plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention rather than being left alone for long periods. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, medication routines, playtime, and regular check-ins throughout the day. I enjoy a quiet lifestyle and spend much of my free time at home. When I’m not working, I often relax with my cat, enjoy outdoor activities, or go fishing, but I always plan my schedule around the pets in my care. Your cat will stay in a clean, quiet, and pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space to relax, play, and explore. My home is filled with cat toys, scratching posts, cozy resting spots, and enrichment activities designed to keep cats comfortable and entertained. I currently have a friendly and outgoing rescue tabby cat who is well-socialized and enjoys meeting new feline friends. However, I understand that every cat is different. For cats who prefer their own space, I can accommodate gradual introductions and provide separate areas to help them feel safe and comfortable. Safety is always my top priority. I keep a cat-friendly environment and closely supervise all interactions to ensure a stress-free experience for every pet in my care.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I have trained puppies, given medicine and my pets live long pampered lives. I have 2 dogs now! I am not working so my schedule is flexible. I can make visits many times throughout the day. Overnights are not a problem at all. I do watch my grandchildren periodically so must get along with kids. I have 2 dogs and a fenced in yard. I am also very diligent about safety and keeping pets contained. I understand the dangers of lost pets. I volunteer with Lost and Found sites and rescues.
“This was our first time using rover for our two kitties - one that is typically a little standoffish towards new people so we were very anxious customers. Jackie was very professional, came with lots of questions to make sure she had everything she needed and answered all of our questions! She also took lots of photos which was a great plus!”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!
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 💗
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!

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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apex. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
