“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!! 😃”
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.
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.
“Jade is absolutely amazing! Came over the day before to meet Boston. Asked questions about him and his routine that I didn’t think to consider. Super helpful last minute and is really flexible with my hectic schedule.”
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: 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.
“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'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've loved dogs (and cats) since I was a child. Which includes feeding, brushing, walking, bathing and playing with. I consider myself a pet person. I am available most of the time. I work at a remote job and have very flexible hours. I can make multiple visits per day if needed. I walk my dogs every morning and evening. We only miss when temperatures are too low and it isn't safe. If that's the case we play inside.
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.
“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!!”
“Pamela was such a BIG help to me and my little Schnoodle, Josie! Pamela followed all instructions perfectly and made sure Josie got the exercise and potty break she needed. I definitely recommend Pamela and look forward to her helping me again with Josie.”
“Rosemary is an amazing walker! She always stays the full time and she walks my dog really far. I really appreciate her and she sends photos and videos. My dog and cats love her! Thank you Rosemary!”

Absolutely amazing! Paid close attention to my pup’s wellbeing and put him first. Stayed in contact with updates and answered any and all questions I had. My pup came back so happy and tired and got so excited to see her the next day which is the sign of a great walker. Thank you so much!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Apex on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,188 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:
- 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 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.
