“I was initially nervous about having someone come in to check-in on my 14 week old puppy, Rosie. After meeting Shannon, I felt confident that Rosie was in good hands. Shannon was very communicative leading up to the first visit, let me know when she was with my pup, and shared pictures of their visit. Will definitely be using Shannon again!”
“Joanna is dependable and so good with my cat. He usually takes a while to warm up to people but he seems to be at ease with her. Thank you again. I would definitely recommend her and I will book again :)”
“I couldn’t ask for a better pet sitter. Aqsa is reliable experienced and caring. My dog has anxiety and struggles when we are away. I wasn’t able to enjoy my time away because I was so worried about him. Aqsa won him over and he loves spending time with her. I highly recommend her.”
“Ella was very sweet and kind to our 10 year old Jack Russel! She always left a detailed report card and sent lots of cute pictures of our pup. Would definitely use her again!”
“Sabrina took such great care of our sweet elderly dog, making sure she ate and got lots of snuggles while we were away. She sent regular pictures and updates, and I felt so safe leaving her in charge. We will definitely be asking her to come back when we leave next!!”
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.
“Abby was wonderful with my dog, who takes time to get to know someone new. She was very patient with him and very caring. She put my mind at ease with the Rover card, and let me know my dog was doing fine during her drop-in visit. She is very professional, kind and caring.”
“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 been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. Over the years, my family has had five dogs and two cats, and I currently help care for three dogs. Last year, I raised my own Australian Shepherd puppy, which gave me firsthand experience with puppy training, exercise routines, and daily care. In addition to caring for my own pets, I frequently walk a neighbor's dog and regularly pet sit for my parents when they travel. I also have experience assisting with Rover visits, occasionally filling in for my mom when she is unavailable. Through these experiences, I have become comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own pets. I'm currently home for the summer while attending college, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I do work a few evening shifts at a local restaurant, but they're typically only about five hours long, and I'm home by 9:30 PM at the latest. This gives me lots of time to provide attentive care, visits, walks, playtime, and updates. I'm committed to making sure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve! Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they can stick to what's familiar. During every visit, I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, plenty of playtime or affection (if they want it!), and I'll always double-check that doors, gates, and windows are secure before I leave. I also love sending photo updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
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.
About: I have been caring for pets my entire life and started providing professional pet care about seven years ago. I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including energetic puppies and kittens, senior pets, and animals that need extra patience, attention, and compassionate care. I am currently in school Monday through Thursday. During those days, I am available for morning visits around 8:00 a.m. and evening visits after 5:00 p.m. I have open availability Friday through Sunday, allowing me to spend plenty of quality time with your furry friends and provide them with the care, attention, and exercise they deserve. I will come to your home to walk, feed, and play with your dog or cat while providing plenty of love and attention. I will serve the food and treats you provide, refill fresh water, and clean food and water bowls after each feeding. If your pet requires medication, I can administer it according to your instructions. I will also clean litter boxes for cats and dispose of pet waste during every visit to keep your home clean and your pets comfortable.
About: Growing up with pets, I know how important it is to have your fur babies in the hands of someone who thrives off their energy, cuddles, kisses and never ending ball tosses! It’s official! I am Rovering full time! I’ll take all the furry love I can get! I do a bit of work from home, but only a few hours so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I look forward to loving on your four pawed babies! As an in home care provider, I would refer to each clients, and their adorable pets individual needs and expectations…PS, I also take professional photos, clean and organize if requested!!
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.
About: Hi. My name is Grace and I’d love the opportunity to take care of and treat your fur baby with lots and lots of love! I’ve had cats and dogs in my family since I was a kid. Now post college, I’ve been fortunate enough to adopt my own pup! As many friends and family members have pets as well I have been the go-to for sitting. I have experience sitting for puppies and adult dogs, giving medication, following a feeding and walking schedule, and sending tons of videos and photos (daily) as I know you’ll be missing your furry family member! I currently work from home so my schedule is extremely flexible and allows me to focus on your fur baby through the day. Although I live in a townhouse, I am nearby a dog park and have lots of grass and walking area. My daily routine is taking my pup to the dog park in the morning before work for a good half hour and after work as well. We have a great dog community so we love going on walks and meeting other dogs at the dog park. Your pet is cared for as if they were my own. My apartment is quite spacious and comfy so your pet will feel right at home! I normally do meet ups as well so your dog can be comfortable in my townhouse and with my pup before you’re ready to entrust them with me. I'm happy to follow your care instructions to keep their routine consistent while they are in my care.
“We had a great experience with Melissa! She sent us lots of updates of our dog Bronson and was able to do an extra visit when we told her we were going to be home later than we thought. We hope she can help us again in the future.”
“David did a great job with our dog Remi! Remi had such a blast and was so well taken care of. David does a great job following the schedule as well as caring for your dog. Since Remi is on the larger side (110lbs) we wanted to make sure someone could handle him and David did it with ease! Will be using him again!”

David spent lots of time hanging with our pets during the visits and went above and beyond with taking care of our any problem while we were away. He bought traps and cleaned out our cabinet. He sent a report and pictures after each visit which warmed our hearts.
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.
