“Denise and her family are so great. They took in my young puppy to watch/take care of during the day while me and my husband were at work. She gives updates throughout the stay and follows a timely schedule for all the puppies restroom and feeding breaks. We will definitely be using Denise again.”
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
“Dulce is amazing! Her home is beautiful and clean. The backyard is secure and big enough for large dogs while still having no holes that would allow small dogs to escape. My jack is very picky about who he likes to spend his time with and he seems like he had an amazing time! Her senior Chihuahua is very sweet and got along great with my poodle! We are looking forward to more stress-free days with Dolce!! ?”
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.

“LOOK NO FURTHER for anyone else to take care of your fur babies. ***Here’s what all dog parents need to know*** Rhonda will take care of your babies as if they were her own. She opens her arms & home to any furbaby, & she stays engaged with each & every one of them the entire time. You will never have to worry about them while in her care. This was our first experience using Rover for a quick trip to Vegas. We googled doggy daycares but you just never know the type of experience you’ll have. We found Rhonda on this app & I’ll never book anyone else while in the area.”
“Kim took great care of our 2 dogs while we were visiting Vegas. The dogs seemed happy when we picked them up and she was communicative throughout the day with pictures of the dogs. We would highly recommend!”
“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.”
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.
“Shey kindly watched my two dogs for daycare. She has a very large backyard, and her dog is cute and friendly. I would have appreciated more photos and updates throughout the day. However, Shey was quick to respond to texts. My pups had a great time at her place and would be happy to return!”
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! With sitting at your home we will talk about of course whatever you feel most comfortable with. I have lots of refferals from people i have done sitting for in the past and I can send them to you upon request!
“Malkiel did a great job with Cooper! He sent updates and pics consistently. Every day I’d pick Cooper up he was in a great mood, wagging his little tail, and happy to see me. I have zero worries leaving Cooper in his care while I’m at work. Looking forward to future bookings with him!”

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.
