“We booked Maria for our 8 day vacation. This was our first experience using Rover and Maria. We are very happy we got to meet Maria prior to our booking and felt comfortable leaving our two Shetland Sheepdogs with her while she stayed in our house. Maria did an outstanding job taking care of our dogs and sent pictures frequently while we were out of the country so we knew things were going well. My wife and I would highly recommend Maria as she took excellent care of our furry kids, gave them lots of attention and watched over our house while we were away. Thank you Maria for caring for our dogs. We can tell you enjoy pet sitting and it shows. Keep up the great work!! We are so grateful we met you and look forward to when you can watch our pups again!”
“Peyton was amazing and put our dogs and us at ease! We were very nervous leaving our two dogs less than two weeks after a move from Denver. Peyton came to the rescue and even came over for a meet and great that night. She updated us with pictures and we came home to two happy pups! Lewie and Tula hope to see her again soon!”
“Eliza is the epitome of the perfect sitter - both professional and loving - prompt and responsive and also the "sit on the floor with the dogs" type. We are happy we trusted her with our boys!”
“Brooke was amazing!! Our boys were incredibly well taken care of (as well as our home while away). She was communicative and shared pics everyday. I’d recommend her to anyone who wants extra special care of their derp goblins while away”
“Cora did an excellent job with my first baby Tiller, while we were in the hospital for an extended stay to have my actual first baby. Regular updates and enjoyed her time watching tiller live her best life”
“Camille was a wonderful sitter for our pups. She was punctual, polite and so caring. She was flexible with her schedule which helped us out big time when our flights were delayed. We loved all of the updates and pictures throughout our trip. We will definitely book with her again.”
“Michael was attentive, communicative, and treated our dogs with care. Our older dog requires daily eye drops, and we appreciate that Michael was able to continue with those while watching them.”
“Isabelle was AMAZING with my animals which was proven through many photos of my animals always by her side and following her around (even my cat who is scared of people)! I would highly recommend her.”
About: I have extensive experience working with and living alongside various breeds of dogs and cats, and I understand that each breed has its own unique needs. I tailor my interactions to suit the specific personalities and requirements of each pet. Additionally, I prioritize maintaining their regular routines as much as possible, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. Of course, I also make sure they get plenty of love and cuddles along the way! Fortunately for me, I don’t have to worry about any other employment so my schedule is wide open. Thereby allowing me to tailor my schedule to your needs! Because I’m renting, I won’t be able to house any pets here, but I’m hypersensitive about using other people’s homes so my main priorities are keeping your pet(s) routine as normal as possible, while also leaving your house and resources as untouched as possible. If I can make it almost seem like a ghost took care of your pet(s), I did my job!
“Hanna was incredible! She was a great communicator: she was quick to respond, she kept us in the loop just the right amount, and she asked good questions to ensure she could provide the best care for our girls. Our girls clearly loved their time with her, and she went out of her way to ensure they had a great time with her. And, with all of that, she took wonderful care of our home and even offered to do things that I would very much consider above and beyond. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. We can’t wait to rebook her for future trips!”
“Kelsey did an INCREDIBLE job looking after my sweet Essie Mae. Her communication was excellent with lots of texts, pics and updates. It was very obvious, especially from ome of the pics, that Essie truly connected with Kelsey and loved having her as her care taker. We'll definitely use Kelsey again!”
“As soon as I met Loren I felt completely comfortable leaving our 15 month old pampered Coton de Tulear with her. She sent me great pictures that showed Moppie was relaxed and happy. I would not hesitate to get her to dog sit again!”
“We had never tried house sitting before but Aqsa made us feel so secure with leaving our babies with her! We got plenty of photos and checkins and everything was perfect!”
“Faith did a great job house sitting and pet sitting our boys! Everything was in perfect order when we returned, she sent lots of pictures and updates and the dogs loved having her around. Highly recommend!”
“Alexandra was great! She was extremely responsive, sent pictures and updates. I felt at ease going out of town knowing she was there! Best quality care for my pups.”
“Great house sitting experience with Kristen for our two dogs! She kept us updated with texts and pictures. Our house was very clean and pups were super happy when we came back. Will definitely ask Kristen to house sit again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Apex is $50

Peyton was fantastic with my dog Dixie! From the first meet and greet she asked great questions to make sure she understood Dixie’s routines and needs. While I was away she provided regular updates with photos and information on how things were going. Dixie looked happy and relaxed in every one of them. During the stay we had some severe storms and tornado warnings and Peyton made sure to keep me posted and even sent a picture when they were in the closet waiting out the storms! It’s clear she cares deeply for the animals she has been given charge of! When I got home, my house was clearly well cared for and Dixie was calm and happy. It’s rare to find someone who treats your dog and home like their own. I highly recommend Peyton and will definitely be booking again!
David did a stellar job (per usual) with our two girlies! They take medicine nightly and he put up with our angsty teen, Toby, every night! He’s great at snapping photos and kept us feeling safe leaving them in his care. He’s a great communicator and even ran an errand for me (thank you again so much!) David is one of a kind and we love having him watch our girls when we leave!
Addy took care of my two dogs for a weekend & did great! It was great to have someone who was willing to spend the night with my dogs while being away! She followed the care instructions I provided, sent me some pictures, & communicated how the girls were doing. The dogs were happy & healthy when we got back from our trip!
Was in NC for my brothers wedding and needed someone to look after my cavapoo Canelo and Maria responded super quick. We set up a meet and greet and she was so reassuring the whole time. She was super friendly and canelo loved her. Will definitely be reaching out to her anytime I am back in the area

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Apex is $56 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $95 per night. On Rover, sitters 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 3,019 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Apex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Apex walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Apex maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Apex choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apex. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
