“Natallia was great with Duck! She was very communicative and made sure both Duck and I were comfortable when I had to leave! I will definitely work with Natallia in the future and highly recommend her!”
“Jennifer was amazing! We have a menagerie of animals and we have had a run of pet sitters that have not taken care of our pets the way that we do. For the first time, I went on vacation and didn't worry about my babies. Everyone, including the chickens and parrots, were happy when we got home. Our retriever even attempted to follow her out when she left, which was a compliment to how she took care of them. We will definitely hire her again to take care of our babies. THANK YOU JENNIFER!!!! We are glad we found you!”
“Courtney provided dog sitting and housesitting services for me. She was great with my Sheppard!! She also kept the house in neat order and provided plenty of love to my dog. I will definitely use her again!!”
“Anthony is a great pet and house sitter. He provided routine updates about our pup, took care of our plants, and is very respectful of our home. This is the second time he sat for us and we will definitely ask him again in the future.”
“Hallie was very professional, and very passionate towards my dog, very caring. She took excellent care of Apollo. And my dog felt very comfortable around her. She even came earlier than I asked her to, to make sure my dog went outside and was taken care of. She took excellent care of my house and was very respectful of it.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Sriya house sat for my dog June and was absolutely amazing with her. She sent frequent updates and photos that really put my mind at ease. June clearly felt comfortable and well cared for. Sriya even went the extra mile and brushed her, which was such a thoughtful touch! I’m so grateful for the peace of mind and will definitely book with Sriya again. Highly recommend!”
“Maria was great! She showed up on time and followed our instructions perfectly. She even gave our pups their respective medication. When we got home they were relaxed and calm just how we like them!”
“Shannon did an incredible job watching my dog for me over the weekend. I was given multiple updates and tons of photos daily. It really made me feel comfortable being away for multiple days. My House was cared for exceptionally as well. I highly recommend Shannon.”
“She did a wonderful job making sure that our anxious dogs and their anxious moms were taken care of. We got a bunch of pictures, and updates throughout the stay! She was wonderful and understanding if we reached out frequently”
“Lori was great! She took care of our sweet girl for a week while we were away & I would 100% use her again! She send lots of photos and videos and provided lots of updates on how our pup was doing. She also took great care of our home! ❤️”
“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!”
“Kelsey was wonderful with my anxious guy. She sent wonderful, consistent updates and pictures. She also took wonderful care of my home. I’m so happy to find someone that both Finn and I trust.”

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!
Clare was phenomenal with Bennie! We left Bennie in great hands with college drop off happening and she was amazing. She took time prior to the sitting to meet with us and Bennie. She immediately won him over and we were able to discuss all things dog related and some other non dog related. She had great questions and her communication is outstanding. She watched Bennie in our home and was a great guest as well. We wanted someone who felt like family and she definitely made it happen. I will be using Clare in the future and highly recommend. Bennie definitely approved as well.
Shannon was absolutely amazing and exceeded all of our expectations! This was my first time having someone stay with Nala overnight, and I could not have wished for a smoother experience. Shannon is extremely attentive, sweet, asked so many great questions to make sure she was taking the best care of Nala, and would send multiples photos constantly throughout the day (without us having to ask!!). I feel so blessed we found Shannon to take such great care of Nala. PS: we got a little polaroid picture of Nala and the sweetest letter… so so grateful!
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
Allison was fantastic. She dog-sat for us for 4-5 days, and took excellent care of my golden retriever Willow. Allison took her on walks, snuggled with her, and followed directions to keep her safe perfectly. Allison was communicative the whole time and sent daily photo updates to check in. She also took excellent care of our home and left it cleaner than she found it- even making us some yummy home-made banana bread as a surprise when we returned. She is extremely capable and a pleasure to have around. Thank you so much Allison, we hope you will be available to spend time with Willow again in the future!
Maria was great, she was communicative and sent pictures and updates about our dog daily. Our pup is a little nervous and she took to Maria right away so we felt very comfortable leaving her with Maria for our multi day trip. Maria also house sat for us and the house looked great when we returned. We will definitely contact Maria again if we need a pet/house sitter in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Apex on Rover is $48.15 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,112 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
- 96% 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.
