“Jennifer hasn’t even been gone for 24 hours and I’ve already recommended her to a neighbor! She took amazing care of my dog and my house. I came home to a clean house, linens washed and the kitchen spotless! What a treat after traveling for work all week. My dog Bella was looking for Jennifer this morning so that also tells me how amazing she treated my girl while I was away. Book Jennifer - you will NOT be disappointed!!”

“Lauren is definitely five stars. Our pups loved her. We booked her for an in-home stay. She was prompt with her responses. Happy to do a meet and greet. She accommodated us with picking up and dropping off our key. While we were away she sent updates and pictures. I felt comfortable the whole time. I knew my guys were attended to and well taken care of. Definitely already booking with her again.”

“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!”
“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!”

She sent me texts and pictures to let me know they were doing okay and I really appreciated that because I worry a lot. She was really wonderful and I have already booked her again for a weekend in March!”
“Lori was amazing with our pups! She sent regular pupdates and we felt so at ease with her caring for our furbabies. The morning we were supposed to return our flight was cancelled and she was able to help us by staying a little longer with the dogs while we caught a flight home! 10/10 Would highly recommend her! Thank you Lori!”
“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.

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 for House Sitting in Apex on Rover is $48.84 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 3,108 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
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
- 97% 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.
