“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!!”
“She was very responsible, arrived on time, and took great care of Roma! She is always available, very kind, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciate her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
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: 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: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve been helping take care of pets since I was a kid, and over the years I’ve looked after cats, dogs, and everything in between for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m attentive, gentle, and genuinely love building trust with each pet I meet. It brings me joy to know they feel safe and cared for in my presence. I work part-time, which allows for a flexible schedule. I’m mostly available for drop-in visits, pet sitting, and dog walking throughout the week, especially on weekdays after 2 PM. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are always my priority. Whether it’s a drop-in visit or a few days of pet sitting, I make sure to follow your routine as closely as possible so your pet feels safe and relaxed. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own. I know how hard it can be to leave your furry baby, so I’m always happy to send little updates and photos while you’re away.
“Charlotte is the best pet sitter we have ever had! She has truly become a part of our family. She is so loving and great with our pets. I would highly recommend her! So thankful for her every day walks with our pup!”
“Sabrina was amazing! My pup loved her and she was so thoughtful about his heart condition when he was in her care. I really appreciate her time and care. I look forward to her services in the future and I’m sure Legend is too!”
About: I began my Rover journey in the summer of 2023 and have since been blessed to provide care for dozens of pets around Wake County. I maintain a small book of business in order to provide flexibility and extra detail for those that entrust me with their four-legged family members. Given that I only board or day-sit for one family at a time, my availability does fill up quickly at times but I do have room for new clients who wish to begin using my services. I work a remote job with no set schedule so I am always available for walks, fetch, or consistent water bowl refills. I love breaking up the monotony of my days by taking breaks and giving extra love to my own dog and I would be thrilled to do the same for yours. I have a fenced in yard which has proven to be a safe space for play and exploration for our own dog. I can crate if needed in the office with me or in a separate room if your pup is introverted. Our dog free-roams all day but usually spends most of her time laying on the couch, yours is welcome to do the same!
About: I’ve been dog sitting for friends for about a year and a half, doing everything from quick drop-ins to overnight house sitting. For an additional almost 2 years,I also work at a pet boarding facility in Cary (currently in a leadership role), so I handle dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments every single day. Whether your dog is super energetic, a little reactive, or needs medication administered, I'm completely comfortable keeping them safe, happy, and well-cared for while you're out. I’m a full time college student and part time worker but most weeks my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m typically available Tuesday/Wednesday’s after 3 pm, and most times throughout the day Thursday-Sunday. I would prefer early morning/late afternoon for walks and can easily work around drop-ins as needed but am more than capable of working with y'all's schedules! While I don't host pets in my home, I’m fully set up to provide drop-in visits, dog walking, and occasional overnight sitting in your home. I love taking dogs out for outdoor walks and playtime, keeping up with their routine, and making sure all of their feeding, enrichment and/or medication needs are taken care of.
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to make sure your pet is comfortable and loved when life gets busy. I have experience with senior dogs, puppies and cats. I look forward to loving on your pet! I am currently working part time and primarily from home. My flexible schedule makes drop in visits and walks super manageable. I love spending my breaks walking or playing with animals! I care for your pet as if it’s my own. I am incredibly respectful of others homes and will ensure all access points are locked and nothing is disturbed. Your pet will have food and water as instructed and crated as requested as well. Whatever instructions you leave will be followed.
“Alexandra looked after my dog and cat while I was away on a work trip. She was always quick with replies and attentive to my dog’s needs while walking her in the hot weather! She was flexible with scheduling the initial meet and greet, pet visits, and took good care of my pets! Will hope to use her services again when needed in the future.”
“Will definitely be reaching out to Yanke again in the future! My work has me traveling last minute and she was immediately responsive. Great communicator and the dogs loved her!”
About: I’ve house sat for my friends and families dogs for the past 8 years and have always had dogs and cats. All of my pets are vaccinated and spayed and neutered. I love animals dearly. I have four pets of my own and want to own a farm one day. I have a flexible work schedule so I can go into work and let’s my pets out whenever. I’m only typically in the office for 4 hours at a time so pet care is my top priority. I have a fenced in yard and never keep pets in their crate for more than 4 hours at a time. Pets need time to go outside and play. All my animals are spayed and neutered and up to date on their vaccines so your pet is safe with me!
About: I have owned pets my entire life: Dogs big and small, cats, and even small animals! I especially love drop ins and dog walking as way to stay active. In my hometown I built up a pet sitting clientele through world of mouth and have experience with both drop-ins and multi-night stays. I will gladly take your pets on long walks to their favorite park, spend time playing and relaxing with your cats, and ensure their food, water, and medical needs are taken care of. Additionally, I’m experienced with senior pets who may need a gentler, more patient approach. I am currently looking for full time work so I have an open schedule for pet care! I am available most weekdays except for Wednesday evenings and am available from early morning to late evening! When caring for pets in a clients home, I follow your rules first. I make sure to check in, go over home expectations, and learn your space and your pets. I am a polite guest in your home with a job to do that I take very seriously and I always will be respectful of your space!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Apex
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!
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.
Courtney is outstanding, and definitely goes above and beyond. Our Cat and Dog absolutely loved her, and she did a great job taking care of them when we were out of town. She even went above and beyond and helped clean up an accident on the rug. Would definitely recommend Courtney for your pet-sitting needs!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Apex is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 per walk. On Rover, 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 November 2026, there are 5,090 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 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:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% 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.
