“Kelly is a Godsend! She filled in during a bit of an emergency since I was in the hospital. She couldn't even meet me at first so I worked it out to meet with a current walker. She was immediately taken with Amilyn and Amilyn was as taken with her. You can tell in I'm mo all the pics”

About: Animals have been an essential part of life and continue to be. I have raised dogs, cats, turtles, and various others. None have left without kisses, tail wags, and wet noses! Training puppies and administering medications have been an everyday experience with my own pup throughout her entire life. Couch snuggles and long walks have always been apart of my pet experience. The time booked goes to ten minutes of potty time (or longer upon request. You know your dogs best!) after, it can be all play time (with a water bowl check) or playtime before feeding! My dogs always were set to perform 'tricks' for their food, using it as a reward. If this is something you like to do or are doing with your pets, I'll do my best to keep up the same work, hopefully helping your training along the way. And yes, the turtle in the photos is Lord Myrtle. He is my home Security and chief Romaine Leaf inspector. Mostly working from home, willing to travel. Right now I have nothing for work other than working for myself and find myself wanting to work more with animals. I've been looking after animals since my days caring for farm animals. Now, I enjoy looking after those we call family for others when no one else can. When they are in my care, they are my family too. My home is very quiet, 4th floor apt over looking an active pool. Lots of sun in the morning and a porch garden with birds.

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: Hi there! I have been caring for animals since I was a child. In my teens, I became an animal rights activist, marched on Washington for rights for animals, and then became a deputized animal cruelty investigator. In my twenties, I went to law school to improve animal laws and enforcement. I developed the animal law program at my law school, and created an animal fighting task force for LAPD. Since becoming a lawyer, I have continued to advocate for animals and spend as much time as I can in the company of all animals great and small. Having worked in both animal shelters and a vet office, I have extensive animal handling, fostering, rescue, and pet sitting experience. I am comfortable with all breeds, species, and ages, and am happy to work with animals with medical needs. I enjoy eco-travel (to see the world's fauna in their native habitats), and it is a challenge to stay abroad for extended periods with pets, so I am down to just one sweet 18 year-old kitty that I've had since she was a kitten. Pet sitting affords me the opportunity to spend time with more animals, which feeds my soul. I work remotely, so my time is very flexible. I can accomodate a variety of scheduling needs, and am fine with both last minute bookings and cancellations. I understand that life often brings unforseen opportunities and circumstances. I have cared for virtually all species of pets and farm animals, in my own home and in sanctuaries, shelters, and clients' homes. I am able to accomodate really any pet care requests.

About: Hey y’all! 👋 I’m Sarah — former therapist, now a tech leader by day, and an animal lover always. With 25+ years of experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, plus guinea pigs, turtles, chinchillas, and exotic birds. (Snakes and arachnids are my only hard no! 😬) 🌟 In between the hustle of tech, I love to walk, hike, and swim with dogs of every size and age. I work remote, so I have a lot of flexibility around my schedule. I don’t have kids, so caring for your pups is an absolute joy — it’s truly a hobby for me. ❤️ In my care, your pups will be treated like my own — loved on, exercised, showered in kisses and snuggles, sent plenty of pics, and taken on lots of little adventures. I am a detail oriented gal and very thorough with all communication to keep pet owners at ease during their time away. 👌 I am comfortable with medication administration (oral, topical, injection) with dogs. 🐕 I also have a very playful mixed pup, Ollie, who loves a good walk, trot through the woods, a nap, & a good game of fetch! 📆 I’m currently booking for drop-ins and walks, with availability that may vary month to month — feel free to reach out! I do not do boarding at this time. 😊 I look forward to loving your pets just as I do my own! I currently work from home in the tech world and am fairly flexible with my schedule for drop-in's. I have ample time to walk and care for doggos of all sizes and ages. Whether we are lounging or on an adventure, we'll work in ample fun during the days together! I have a fenced in back yard that allows dogs space to roam and explore with parks nearby. However, I am partial to check-in’s and walks. I am not offering boarding at this time.

Here’s a polished review you can post: Sriya is great! She is very good with communication and handles Simba really well. Simba is a large Golden Retriever who is still a puppy and gets very excited and tends to jump. Sriya handled him confidently and patiently. We felt very comfortable having her walk and care for him. Highly recommend her!

Brooke, thank you for how well you did at taking care of Skye, updating us, and going the extra mile. Brooke helped ease our travel anxiety right away by being such a great support for our husky. She gave tons of picture updates, took our dog on more walks than we do, and gave her so much love that when we got back, she was happier than when we left. She looks healthier, and completely stress free. If Brooke is still available when we travel again, we will immediately book with her. I highly recommend her if you see she has openings. Thank you thank you.

David is an exceptional sitter who treats my dog like family. When she fell ill while I was away, he went above and beyond, providing dedicated care until she fully recovered. His professionalism and compassion gave me total peace of mind. I highly recommend David for anyone seeking trustworthy pet care.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Apex

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Apex on Rover is $22 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $31 per walk. walkers 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 5,199 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Apex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Apex. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Apex after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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 .

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apex. On Rover:

  • 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

walkers 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.

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 walker.
