About: I have grown up with dogs and love having them around the house! Your pup will love my large fenced-in backyard for plenty of play time! I work from home and have a flexible schedule to provide plenty of supervision for your pup! I am available as needed and often at the last minute! I have a large fenced-in backyard, and a user-friendly indoors, plus my own dog who loves all dogs! Your pup will be very well cared for!
“Wonderful care! I could tell my dog had a great time and was calm and happy when I picked him up. He got to play in the backyard with Anna’s dog which was a huge plus for him. Would recommend Anna as a sitter for any dog, especially energetic playful ones like mine!”
“Kelsey and Trevor were so welcoming to Ollie! They took care of him when he was sad I left, took him on multiple walks despite their busy work schedule, and sent lots of cute pictures. Delilah and Darcy were fun playmates—we’ll definitely be booking again!”
“Sharon is a wonderful dog sitter. She took out old sweet Bodi in for the day and made sure he was happy and calm. He got along very well with her two sweet pups and that’s saying a lot for our guy; he’s afraid of most dogs. He melded seamlessly with her pack. When I picked him up he was happy and calm. It was a great day. We will return to Sharon every time we need day care for Bodi while we are in the Apex area.”
“Our sweet Fred had such a great day with Tiffany and Chase! I'm always worried for Fred to stay somewhere new for the day but Tiffany was so communicative and sent plenty of pictures throughout the day so I could see that he was happy and having fun. Will definitely book again!”
“Stephen was great! He was a lifesaver taking care of my dog when I had to go into work. He worked with me about the drop off time and pick up time. My dog came home so happy and tired. I can’t wait to have my dog stay with Stephen again!”
“Tania took great care of our dog! He loved playing in the backyard with Oreo and was tried and happy when we picked him up. Tania was very thoughtful and we felt comfortable leaving our dog with her.”
“Zainab took good care of my anxious shiba for the day, and I picked up a happy doggy. She was gracious to book on short notice for the day before holiday. I appreciated the pictures she sent. Will book with her again!”
“This was our dog's second time staying with Dan, Kevin, Pillow (& Major Tom!), but first time doing daycare. Sage was so excited when he saw where we were getting out of the car, he ran straight to the door to go play! We loved getting all the photo and video updates of Sage's playtime and walks, and felt good to know he's getting such thoughtful care. We really also appreciated Dan being flexible with us on drop off and pick up times. Will definitely book again!”
“We are very grateful to Tetyana for taking care of our Bella. Kind and reliable people, always in touch, keep us informed of how our dog is feeling. Bella already considers Tetiana's house to be another family place for her.”
“Tracey was amazing! She sent consistent updates with pictures so we always felt like we knew what Marvin was doing! Marvin had a blast and was super tired from all of the fun activities. Repeat customers for sure!”

Theresa was absolutely amazing. She helped me through a very special and stressful situation with my dog’s neutering process and went above and beyond every step of the way. She was incredibly kind, attentive, communicative, and patient, and she made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I truly appreciated all of the updates, reassurance, and extra effort she put in to help both me and my dog feel at ease. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, compassionate, and genuinely caring. I’m so so glad I came across her. Theresa you rock!!
Sharon is a wonderful dog sitter. She took out old sweet Bodi in for the day and made sure he was happy and calm. He got along very well with her two sweet pups and that’s saying a lot for our guy; he’s afraid of most dogs. He melded seamlessly with her pack. When I picked him up he was happy and calm. It was a great day. We will return to Sharon every time we need day care for Bodi while we are in the Apex area.
Our anxious pup does so well at Tiffany’s! I love that she gets to play with other dogs if she wants but also has space to do her own thing if she wants. Tiffany also has a great setup for keeping the dogs gated together by temperament if she does have to leave them and it makes us feel so much better to have a consistent person to book with. She is also super communicative which we appreciate!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Apex on Rover is $33.3 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Apex commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Every sitter 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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,432 sitters in Apex, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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 sitter.
