“David spent lots of time hanging with our pets during the visits and went above and beyond with taking care of our any problem while we were away. He bought traps and cleaned out our cabinet. He sent a report and pictures after each visit which warmed our hearts.”
“Scott was extremely professional and took amazing care of Tucker(my dog) for a long week while I was on vacation. It means the world to me for my dog to be safe and happy at home while I’m away! Scott was diligent with the pictures and description of the care he gave to Tucker. I hope he has availability next time I leave town! Thank you Scott!!!”
“Kelly did such an amazing job doing drop-ins for our 2 older dogs. One of our dogs has some quirks :) and Kelly made us feel so comfortable trusting the dogs into her care.”
“Courtney did an exceptional job caring for our 2 dogs while we were out of town. Our dogs gravitated to her right away and enjoyed the time she spent with them whether it was playing with toys or cuddling on the couch. Courtney was also able to manage medications with ease and even took the time to alternate lights in the house and bring in mail. We would highly recommend her.”
“Great with our senior Pom who needed multiple touches a day and medication 2x a day. We worried leaving her for a week but Rosemary was very attentive and kept in communication throughout our trip. Would absolutely rebook/recommend!”
About: I have a very calming, peaceful and patient nature. I let an animal approach me when they are ready. I start with appropriate treats and see how they react to me in order to build a relationship. I work part time various days during the week. Sometimes I work during the day, sometimes I work in the evening/night. It is mostly on weekends that I work in the evening/night. My day shifts start at 11 and end at 3. My evening/night shifts start between 3-5. The longest I am away at night is 6 hours, of course the earlier I start the earlier I leave. I try to accommodate everyone’s needs as best as possible. My schedule is pretty flexible so I am able to work and give loving care and exercise to my dogs on a daily basis with the support of my family with all of us pitching in. As well as enjoying other things than work such as travel, reading, riding my bike, getting together with friends, and more. But at the end of the day, there is nothing like just being able to spend some quality time with my fur babies. In my home I have two dogs. I take them out twice a day for walks. They get plenty of belly rubs and kisses. One sleeps with me in my bed and is kind of my therapy dog, and he knows it!
“Roxanna was wonderful with our cat. This was the first time we left our very playful kitty by himself. Roxanna arrived on time 2x daily and gave us a thorough report with pictures about how he was doing. She was specific about his daily behaviors such as eating, crying and playing. We felt like Frankie was in great hands! Thank you!”
“Jess was amazing! I had a last minute trip and had never used Rover but Jess made our first experience worry free. She even hung around after the end of our scheduled window to make sure my puppy pooped. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Aqsa was wonderful. Dependable and conscientious with my two kitties. They can be a bit challenging but she excelled at winning them over. I was able to travel worry free which was so important to me. Aqsa, Thank you so much.”
“Another wonderful sitting experience for my quirky little lady. Wendy is a perfect fit for our kitty. She gives her all the attention and affection she needs (even it it has to be done by her autoloader just in case it goes off, lol) 🥰”
“Ella was so wonderful with Tortellini. My cat had her eyes removed as a kitten and is weary of new people. I’ve never left her before but Ella came to take care of her and give her love and companionship while we were on vacation. I’ll definitely use Ella again in the future!”
“I was initially nervous about having someone come in to check-in on my 14 week old puppy, Rosie. After meeting Shannon, I felt confident that Rosie was in good hands. Shannon was very communicative leading up to the first visit, let me know when she was with my pup, and shared pictures of their visit. Will definitely be using Shannon again!”
About: Huge animal lover here! I’m the live-in aunt of two sweet Golden Doodles (Winston and Winslow), as well as the cat mom to two Siamese (Boots and Kiwi) - all of which I’m totally obsessed with. Having taken full time care of all of them for 4 years, as well as many family and friends’ pet sitting opportunities, I’m excited to expand and offer the same attentive, loving care to your pets. Whether it’s daily walks or cozy drop-in visits, I treat every animal like my own with reliable updates and personalized attention. I work later afternoons at 3:30 so I’m available for morning and afternoon walks before 2pm! My schedule is very consistent so I’m available for recurring visits. I’ve gone to many homes to pet sit for multiple days at a time. I help keep the animals calm and feel comfortable even with separation anxieties.
“Jenny always takes such good care of my two dogs! I can tell that they both love her, and I am able to fully relax during vacations knowing that they are in excellent hands with her!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets on and off since high school. In the summer of 2023, I helped my neighbor walk two dogs regularly—an older Golden Retriever and a young Pomeranian. I’ve also walked a large Standard Poodle and have experience with dogs of different sizes and energy levels. Some friends have trusted me with pet-sitting at my home; the longest stay was nine days, caring for a medium-sized Poodle and a small mixed breed dog. I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in a new environment. In the past, I also raised a rescued orange tabby cat from kittenhood. He was with us for many years and remains a very special part of my life. I currently work part-time on weekdays and have flexible availability after 5 PM. Right now, I offer dog walking or cat care—this includes feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention. I’m not offering boarding services at the moment, but I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and routines. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences. Whether it’s a shy cat or an energetic dog, I make sure they feel safe and loved while their humans are away. I’m also happy to hear about any special notes or things I should be aware of regarding your pet.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Apex is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apex
Jamie has helped me before she signed up for Rover, and has been doing an amazing job. Goes out of her way to make sure my cat was taken care of properly. Followed all the instructions, and would ask good questions for anything she is unsure about so my cat could live his best life. Best sitter here!
Kelly was absolutely wonderful! I needed someone to come feed and walk my dog twice a day and it was very last minute! She immediately responded and then stopped by shortly after so I could show her everything. she had great communication and was very reliable. And she seems like a natural with animals.❤️ I would definitely use her again and highly recommend her to anyone else
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jade was wonderful with Prince! She took great care of him, communicated well throughout, and followed all of our care instructions. It was reassuring knowing Prince was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Jade and would be happy to have her care for Prince again!
Sarah was absolutely amazing with our two ridgebacks! I can honestly say they have never seemed happier while we’ve been away. From the moment we left, I knew they were getting so much love and attention and being cared for as if they were her own dogs. She kept me updated with the cutest pictures and thoughtful details about how they were doing, which gave me so much peace of mind and made it so much easier to relax while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and took the time to make sure they felt comfortable, loved, and happy. The nicknames were spot on and kept us laughing! Sarah is reliable, attentive, trustworthy, and truly has a special way with animals. We came home to two very happy, well-loved dogs, and I couldn’t ask for more from a dog sitter. We feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will truly love and care for their pets like family! Sarah will always be our first call 💗
David was a great friend to our pup Belle while we were out of town! He gave us consistent updates and let us know about any issues or challenges Belle was facing as an elderly dog. Belle loved her walks and were so grateful to know she was well cared for while we were away. Will book again!
Wendy is absolutely a wonderful person. I met her just for 10 minutes before giving her the keys of my house and the care of my two dogs. I just moved to the area and had an emergency that was going to take me out of the state. She kept me informed of everything, she took them for walks but more than anything she gave me peace of mind during one of the most difficult times of my life, the loss of my mother. I highly recommend her services and absolutely will put in her hands my fur babies.
Jessica is the best!!! She has watched our cats a few times now and I feel so at ease with her caring for our cats. She handles the medications, food, litter, and even offers to do some cleaning up after our very messy kitties. Shes a great communicator and sends wonderful pictures of our pets. She even brings toys from home sometimes! We really appreciate her.
Sriya always takes such good care of my two cats! She is highly detail-oriented, punctual, and an animal-lover to her core. She gives us great peace of mind with plenty of pictures and thorough updates. Whether it’s daily drop-in visits, or a multi-day overnight stay, she has been incredibly respectful of our home and the boundaries of our (admittedly difficult) cats. I highly recommend her services!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Apex on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 5,568 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Apex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Apex stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apex. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
