Aqsa was absolutely amazing with my pups! She came over prior to do a meet and greet even last minute! She listened to my requests and made sure to communicate well and sent me lots of pictures. Definitely will keep her in mind in the future! Thank you Aqsa!

About: I’m an animal carer with over 30 years of experience. I have a soft spot for seniors, special needs and anxious pets/owners and I enjoy providing good photos to clients as well 💖 I have experience with rescues, fostering, and some veterinary care. I’m open to all creatures, I love reptiles as much as puppies. My schedule is extremely flexible, I’m able to make my own hours most of the time. I spend about a week a month helping care for my parents out of state but I always return to the RDU area. I am always mindful of people’s homes when I’m sitting for them. I usually request a list of basic information, including anything I might need to know about the neighborhood. I follow any security and safety instructions left for me.

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: 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: I catsat Agamemnon when my aunt, uncle, and cousins were out of town for spring break. The responsibilities I had while I was catsitting were litterbox scooping, sweeping litter messes, playing with the cat and feeding the cat. It was kind of funny when Agamemnon was pouncing at the broom like it's a toy. Since then, I could say that the broom is one of Agamemnon's favorite toys. My personal life is such that I am available to work most days, some evenings and at weekends. I am saving up to be able to pay my college tuition and for my degree right now so being at work helps me to achieve my goals. I would also be available to work at short notice at times if you need cover for any Rover work colleagues that might go off sick. I am committed to the job and I will work as many hours as my personal life permits me to do so. I care for dogs in my home and/or my client's home by walking the dog twice a day, feeding the dog, playing with the dog, and cleaning up after the dog. I care for cats by feeding the cat, playing with the cat, and scooping up the cat's litter box. Whenever I catsit, I would have to do it at my client's home because my dad is too allergic to cats to catsit at my home. Whenever I pet-sit at school, I would have to do it at the client's home because of the pet restrictions they have at the university, and I don't know if any of my suitemates are allergic to dogs.

About: I've been taking care of animals my entire life, some of my earliest memories are of walking dogs and cleaning out litter boxes. I currently have two very spoiled cats, who I would love to tell you about. Whether its feeding, walking, or pet sitting I will make sure your babies get the best possible care while you're away. I work mornings Monday through Wednesday, and run my own business from home. I have a lot of flexibility when it comes to visits, and alot of time to spend taking care of your babies. No one knows how to take care of your pet better then you do. I will ensure that your pets get everything that you say they need, and some extra pets too.

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.

Sarah is truly the best. She always helps out, even last‑minute, and I appreciate her flexibility more than she knows. Nala absolutely lights up when she sees her, and it means a lot knowing she treats my girl like she matters.

If you want amazing communication and your four legged family friends to be well cared for hire Aqsa. It's so nice to return after a trip and to find them so relaxed, calm and happy. I can't recommend her highly enough, she is a superb caretaker and genuinely a really nice person.

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.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Apex

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Apex on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 5,163 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 services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Apex.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s 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:

  • 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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. Most pet parents and walkers 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.

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 walker.
