“I just want to say, Denise did an awesome job watching over my dog. My dog has separation anxiety so generally he would bark and howl for hours driving any that attempts to watch over him but Denise and her husband kept me fully updated to their progress as they help Copper my dog adjust to his new environment. I would definitely recommend and use their service again. Thanks guys for allowing to have a peaceful time away! Looking forward to our meet again.”
About: Hello, I'm a 10 year former Veterinary Vet Technician and 12 year Biological Science and Math Educator who is in semi-retirement and loves all animals big and small. Looking to maintain assist keep all companion animals in loving homes by helping "alleviate' chores and pets potty needs while adding to their playtime and happiness =) I'm flexible with schedules as long as I have a day or 2 notice so that I may be fully available to assist in whatever pet needs are requested. Hoping you know that through my experience and love of all animals, you can certainly count on me. I also don't mind cleaning up after and helping with medical care needs of your companion friend regardless of their age or temperament. Blessings, Alice M. P Routines are established as I am home fully present for them to assure them they are safe and cared for as we meet and greet with each other. In my Townhome , dogs are monitored as I am present for their adjustment to home and they have free range if house trained both in and outside as my yard is fully walled. Cats stay in my Guest room with all the amenities they need to keep them safe and stress free, with frequent cuddles and time spent with me :))
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own three dogs and one cat. I made sure they were fed on schedule, had fresh water, received plenty of attention and exercise, and stayed healthy. I understand the importance of keeping pets on a routine, paying attention to their needs, and providing a safe, caring environment. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a fully open and flexible schedule and am available any day or time needed. I can work weekdays, weekends, mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I am able to start immediately and can easily adjust my availability to fit the needs of the pets and the owner’s schedule. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after at all times. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and routines, so the pet’s normal environment stays consistent. I keep a clean space, provide fresh water, and make sure pets are supervised and not left in unsafe situations. I also pay attention to their behavior and needs so I can respond quickly if anything seems off. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets feel secure whether I’m in their home or caring for them in mine.
“Absolutely a great sitter my boy is so happy with Shy we are happy she is able to accommodate our boy She sends great updates and pictures about our boy I would recommend Shy to any animal parent”
About: TLDR: Certified dog trainer (Animal Behavior College, 2015) 11+ years of experience Stay-at-home mom = full-time supervision Experienced with puppies → seniors Boarding, walks, drop-ins & training Structured care + positive reinforcement Reliable communication & daily updates Hi! I’m a certified basic obedience trainer through Animal Behavior College (since 2016) with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m also a stay-at-home mom to my homeschooled kiddo, which means I’m home most of the day and able to provide consistent supervision, attention, and care. We also have two dogs of our own, so your pup will be in a home that’s already built around understanding and meeting dogs’ needs. I’ve worked in a doggie daycare setting and have provided boarding, walks, drop-ins, and training for friends and family for years—so I’m very comfortable handling everything from high-energy puppies to calm senior dogs who need a slower, gentler approach. What sets me apart is my training background. I don’t just watch your dog—I actively reinforce good behavior, structure, and positive habits during our time together. Whether your pup needs exercise, consistency, or just a safe and loving environment, I’ve got it covered. I treat every dog like my own and make sure they feel comfortable, engaged, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and care for pets in my home. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I can easily incorporate their needs alongside my regular schedule. We also have two friendly dogs in our home, so caring for pets is already a regular part of our daily life. They are well-adjusted and used to being around other animals, which helps create a welcoming and comfortable environment for visiting pets. Because my husband is in the military, flexibility and reliability are very important in our household. I’m available any time for pet sitting, including last-minute requests or extended stays. Pets in my care will be treated like part of the family, with plenty of love, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs, whether they are staying in my home or I am caring for them in a client’s home. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I maintain their usual feeding schedules, provide daily exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. Since I’m home throughout the day, they receive constant supervision and companionship. I also make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. With two dogs of my own, I’m experienced in managing multiple pets and ensuring everyone feels secure and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home for drop ins, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care preferences. I also make sure pets feel comfortable in their familiar environment while giving them lots of attention and care. I respect each client’s home and keep everything clean and well-maintained. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Our dogs were comfortable immediately and when we picked them up, they were super relaxed-made our hearts full! Pictures were sent over the course of the day and communication was excellent. Our first experience with Rover and being from out of state, we couldn’t have asked for a better one! Thank you-we highly recommend! -Cinna and Hugh”
About: I’ve had an affinity for animals since I was young and have grown up with dogs of my own. I had a passion to be more involved with helping animals in my community so I began volunteering at a local animal shelter. As a volunteer, I learned a lot more about how to properly care for a variety of dog breeds and understand their temperament. This knowledge has grown as I’ve become a foster for the past few years as well. I am pretty experienced with dogs of all sizes and am open to caring for dogs with special needs. I am the type of person who believes dogs are our fur babies, and just like human babies, they need the proper care and love to thrive! I will love and treat your dogs like they’re my own because I know how important they are to you! I have a fully remote position and am at home for the majority of the day. My work load is pretty light so I have the availability to tend to your dog’s needs I have a doggy door that grants access to my backyard with a camera for extra security. Your dog will be secure in my home at all times
About: I have had dogs since I was a kid, I had to learn how to take care of them, pick up, feed/bathe them. I currently have 1 dog at home. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I have lots of time through the day after I drop my daughter off at school until I need to pick her up again. When summer break comes I will have more time. My dog is on the senior side she is 12. We try to play with them at home or the dog park or they enjoy laying around napping and sunbathing, sometimes they like too go on walks, we also give them baths at home.
About: With over a decade of hands-on experience caring for animals, I offer dependable, loving, and personalized care for your pets as if they were my own. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, cats with quirky personalities, and small animals — including ferrets! I’m also experienced in administering medications, including oral meds, injections, and insulin, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for pets with health needs. Whether it’s daily drop-ins, walks, or weekend stays, I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort to help your pets feel calm and cared for while you're away. I have a very open and flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to work with your routine to ensure your pet feels comfortable and well cared for. I prioritize safety, routine, and clear communication in every visit. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely, including feeding, walks, medication, and home security preferences. I ensure pets are safely secured before opening doors, double-check gates and leashes, and keep a clean, calm environment. I provide regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident their pets are well cared for while they’re away.
About: I have always enjoyed helping take care of dogs we had several dogs growing up. I would always help babysit for friends and family. ☺️ I currently work part-time about 2-3 days a week so I have plenty of time to help out with taking care of your family pet. I have a fenced backyard and an old weenie dog. She loves company and is very sweet. Your pets will be always safe and loved.
“She was absolutely wonderful to leave our dogs with. We got into town last minute and was able to take our two big dogs. Leighanne sent photos throughout the day and they had a great time at her house. I would absolutely recommend anyone to use her services and if we needed to, would use her again.”
“Thank you so much for taking care of my dog Willow. I appreciate all the photos and communication that you kept up with me about Willow while she was in your care thank you so much.”
About: Ive been boarding, sitting, and dog walking since i was about 15. It started off with just sitting and walking for my moms friends and then I started building my business from there! Ive always had such a passion for animals, my favorite thing to do when i was a kid was go to shelters to volunteer or just pet the dogs and cats and honestly its still my favorite thing to do. I have lots of experience ranging from caring for newborn animals to seniors. I have lots of refferals if needed! I would love to meet you and your furry friend!! :) This is my job so I am always available to give your fur babies all the attention they need! When boarding dogs I have a scheduled morning walk and night walk everyday and lots of yard space for them to run around during the day! With in home boardings we can talk to figure out what best suits your pet while they stay. My goal is for your baby to have the most comfortable non stressful stay possible! If your dog is reactive to other dogs I will of course make sure your dog is the only one scheduled to stay during that time. I also have lots of experience caring for senior pets and can orally administer medication. I will give you updated daily on your pup and send you lots of photos of our daily adventures and walks!

About: I have always lived on property I have several dogs and cats. I have had horses even. I love to hangout with animals and take care of them. I have volunteered many times at my local dog humane society in San Luis Obispo. I love going into nature and love having the company from animals. I have gone to several training classes with my own puppies and do a lot of clicker training with them. I have pets on my own and I love to take them on walks daily. I live on property so sometimes I’ll just walk them here or we will go and explore the local beaches. I like being able to get exercise but also have a companion with me. I care for pets in my home by making sure that they have exercise are getting played with and fed. For clients I would like to do whatever they ask me to do. if that means going to the dog park or going on a hike, I am down to do whatever.
“My dog, Lady, goes to Heather’s house five days a week, and clearly loves it. She’s ready to jump out of the car as soon as we pull up, and looks almost sad to leave her new friends everyday.”
“Anna always takes great care of Pandora. Pandora loves Anna and her family. She immediately recognized Anna and her daughters when I dropped her off and she felt immediately “right at home!” Anna is my first choice to take care of my little girl.”

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Apex
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,079 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Apex. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Apex commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in NV ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 1,079 sitters in Apex, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
