“I booked Maria to care for my cat and stay in my house for a 10-day trip, having never used her before. She came over beforehand to meet us both. After spending time with her, I knew everything would be fine. Although I was out of the country, Maria stayed in touch with me and sent pictures of my cat, a very human-centric feline. It was so comforting to know she was getting such excellent care and, equally important, such attention. I knew I didn't have to worry about my cat being lonely and deprived of attention while I was away. What I didn't expect was to find my house so well-cared for, too. It was immaculate, with everything clean, tidy and laid away - much better than it looks when I'm living here! I'll definitely be using Maria again, as I can't imagine how things could have been any better with her here.”
“Leslie was absolutely wonderful while house sitting for my dogs, Roo and Ringo. From the moment we connected, she was kind, personable, and easy to communicate with, which gave me a lot of confidence while I was away. She took excellent care of both dogs, followed all of my instructions carefully, and made sure their routines stayed consistent. One thing I especially appreciated was how proactive she was with updates. She regularly sent messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind and let me see that Roo and Ringo were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would not hesitate to book Leslie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. Roo and Ringo were in great hands!”
“Carlee was just the sitter we were hoping for! We were able to really relax and enjoy our trip- something we haven't been able to do in a while. She stayed in touch (without us asking) with daily updates, and pics. We will definitely be booking again with Carlee!!!”
“Jalanie did a great job taking care of Sierra and Alex. She was very responsive to inquiries and very communicative during our trip away from the dogs. We are looking forward to Jalanie taking care of them again.”
“As usual - came home to a very happy pup and a cleaner house that I left. We received daily updates with lots of photos. We know our boy is thoroughly loved when he’s in the hands of Courtney.”
“Jessica was a gem! She was so attentive and responsive to my cats and kept in consistent communication with me while I was away. I highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again!”
“Jess was a wonderful sitter for our two girls. She provided lots of updates and really went above and beyond! We hate traveling without our pups, but Jess made it easier to do so. Our house was also super clean when we returned!! Highly recommend Jess for your sitting needs. - E&J”
“Kate was amazing! Could not recommend her enough. Stayed at our house over Thanksgiving and sent pics of our sweet pups daily. Even took a trip to the beach to spoil Banzai even more. Would give her 100 stars if I could. Don’t look any further....go ahead and book Kate :)”
About: This is like a dream come true, my love for dogs and animals in general started with my first dog named Prince! He was so loveable. He’d come up to you and hug like a human! He was trained by me and loved to just be around family! That’s how all my dogs are and even dogs of family and friends. Thanks for stopping by look forward to taking care of your fur baby Work from home so I have plenty of time for walks and play time. I enjoy it because it’s more time to have fun and enjoy the outdoors Every member of the family is different. Each one has its own personality. So feel free to let me know what makes them happy! That’s my goal!
“Zainab went above and beyond expectations, regularly taking my pup Charlie on hikes and doing everything she could to make sure my high energy dog was taken care of. She provided daily updates including pictures of a very happy dog and made me feel confident leaving Charlie in her care. Thank you so much Zainab!”
“Kira is an exceptional sitter. She took wonderful care of our home, but the best part was seeing how happy our dog, Raylan, was with her. She connected with him right away, and the beautiful photos and updates she sent were such a thoughtful and appreciated bonus. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such great hands. We will definitely be booking Kira for all our future pet sitting!”
“Susan did such a great job house sitting and watching our two dogs, including our young goldendoodle that's 80lbs of pure energy. She does a wonderful job communicating and making sure the dogs got the care they needed. We will definitely hope to use her again any time we go out of town in the future.”

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!
Clare did a great job with Sable - who is rarely left alone. Sable had some anxiety and tummy troubles but Clare notified me and handled the situation. I appreciate the communication that was initiated daily and the good care that Sable received. I would recommend Clare to others and will use her services 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
Aqsa was incredible! She took better care of our dog and four cats than we could have ever hoped for. We received proactive communications and incredible photos from Aqsa during our week-long vacation, and she did an excellent job taking care of our home while we were gone. When one of our cats got sick she offered to drive her to an emergency vet right away. She then did an amazing job taking care of our sick kitty by providing extra TLC and antibiotics until we returned. Her love of animals is evident, and we are excited to rebook Aqsa again soon!
Maya did a wonderful job taking care of Dunkin while we were away for the day. She was reliable, arrived on time, followed all of our instructions, and made us feel confident that Dunkin was in good hands. We would absolutely hire her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Apex is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $97 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 October 2026, there are 3,061 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
