“Kim is the best dog walker/sitter we could have ever asked for! She went above and beyond for our pup, and we couldn’t have asked for anything more! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Pam is amazing!! She is so loving to our dog Coco and has worked so hard with training her on the leash and has even done research on how to help her. She has gone above and beyond and we are so lucky to have her!”
“Stephanie was such a sweetheart to my girl, Blue :) she was always on time and even walked her a little longer than the 30 mins. I can tell Blue felt comfortable with her and I felt comfortable leaving her in Stephanie’s care. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Kelly has been extremely helpful and consistent with caring for our dogs! She is prompt in her replies and extremely flexible when needed. We even needed to add a dog unexpectedly and she handled her with ease. Thank you Kelly!! 😃”
“Jenny is an absolute delight!! She is very interactive, personable, and Nikko absolutely LOVES her! We loved seeing the photos of Nikko while we were out of town for business! She did so much for our dog, and we can’t wait to book her again!!”
“What a great experience! This was our first time using Rover and I landed on Melissa based on her having a fellow basset hound and professional experience dealing with animals. We have two bassets, both female, and one of those we just rescued. Needless to say they are a handful. Melissa came over the night before to meet them and check out their dynamic. She didn’t have to do this at all and it was so appreciated. She walked them he next day, kept us updated and responded fast with ANY questions. Bottom line is Melissa is a pro and will be using her for all future basset stop and smells/walks.”
“Heidi was great!! My dog is an apartment dog now, but he once was a backyard dog. He’s not super used to the whole going on a walk in the city thing, and she did fantastic! He has severe reactivity issues and that wasn’t an issue for her. He went 2 and a half miles (way longer than i’d ever have the time to do) and it’s worth every penny. I will def use her again for future walks!!”
“Krista has been a wonderful additional to our life here in Columbus. She walked Mox every Thursday for me during my long day at work. I always trusted her and only pure happiness was seen on Mox’s face every picture she sent. I know he loved seeing and walking with her every week! GREAT dog walker and would 100% recommend.”
“Monica is great with our two dogs! She happily scheduled a meet and greet with us the day before we needed her and sends great updates after her visits! Monica is responsive and reliable, would definitely recommend!”
“We’ve only had a couple of walks so far with Rosemary, and I’m already very impressed. Our beagle, Abbe, absolutely adores her! As soon as Rosemary pulls into the driveway, Abbe starts crying and wagging with excitement — she can’t wait to get out the door and run to her. I’ve watched them walk by the lake from my back deck, and Rosemary is wonderful with her. She’s patient and kind, but also firm when she needs to be — not a pushover, which I really appreciate. She communicates well, is always pleasant to talk to, and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend Rosemary to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and skilled dog walker. — Jeff Basham”
“Laura was great! We need help walking our energetic 50 lb 8 month mix breed pit shepherd (Fozzy) for 7 days straight at 7:30 am. Laura was on time every day and she even played some fetch with him at the end of the walk.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Apex on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 5,203 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.

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.
