About: I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat your furry friends with the same love, patience, and attention I would give my own! I’m dependable, caring, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling and relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, provide updates and photos, and give extra patience and attention to pets who need a little extra care. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in loving, reliable hands! I work full-time during the week, so my pet care availability is primarily in the evenings and on weekends. Depending on your location and my work schedule, I may also be available for morning walks, lunch break visits, or evening walks during the week. Weekday visits would need to be arranged and confirmed in advance to ensure I can give your pet the time and attention they deserve. I especially enjoy weekend pet-sitting opportunities and am happy to coordinate ahead of time to find a schedule that works best for you and your furry family member! In your home, I’ll do my best to keep your pet comfortable by following their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I’ll make sure they have fresh water, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Rosemary was great with my boys, sat with them on every visit and sent me pictures of them while she was taking care of them. This was the second time that I have used Rover and both times I’ve been very pleased with the care of my animals.”
“You can feel confident booking with Cara! She did an amazing job with our dog Pippa! She was punctual, responsible, and paid attention to detail. She was very thorough and kept good communication while we were away! If we ever need care again we will definitely book her!”
“Helen did amazing with our pups! She was early, on top of everything, and sent just the right amount of pictures. We were a little worried because one of our dogs loves to jump and doesn’t realize how big he is 😂, but Helen handled him immediately and had no problem managing both of them. We felt like our pups were in great hands!”
“Caitlin was amazing. She was prompt, she kept us updated with pictures and took the best care of our babies! I highly recommend her and will def be contacting her again in the future for care!”
About: I’m a nurse and lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including a dog who lived to be 22. Caring for others is a big part of who I am, and I bring that same attention, patience, and compassion to every dog I watch. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, including medications, special diets, and senior dog needs. I treat every pet like family and tailor care to their unique personality. I work from home, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Pets in my care aren’t left alone for long periods, which is especially helpful for dogs who are used to having people around. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, and feeding schedules into my daily routine. My home is a clean, one-story house in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and access to the Beaver Creek Greenway for safe walks. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel secure, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home. My two boys are gentle, respectful, and experienced with dogs, and they enjoy helping give extra attention when appropriate.

I’ll be sure to go at the pace of your pets, giving both you and them the reassurance that they can trust me.
“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 💗”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apex
Jenny was wonderful with Binky! He absolutely loved her. She sent thoughtful, helpful updates so I always knew how he was doing, and she even cleaned up his messes. It was such a relief to come home to a happy cat. Highly recommend, and we'll definitely book her again!
We went away longer than usual this time, and during that period Monica ran into some issues but handled them all amazingly, especially when we weren't able to respond! She's resourceful, thoughtful, and very caring. Above all else, we came home to very happy kitties. ❤️
Kelly is the ABSOLUTE BEST! My fiancé and I have never used a dog sitting service and we were a bit anxious to have someone come to our home to take care of our 2 dogs. Kelly and Scott were beyond understanding, super accommodating, and all around amazing with dogs! My pups have some separation issues and my border collie mix, while happy to see me, didn’t show any signs of distress or anxiety. I can’t thank them enough and if you use them for watching your pups, you are in phenomenal hands!
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!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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!
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 of Pet Sitting in Apex is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 per visit. 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 5,537 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Apex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% 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 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.
