“Megan is amazing! My siamese Frankie loves her possibly more than me. She is attentive, communicates well, and always leaves the house perfect. She is the absolute best, I am so grateful to have found Megan.”
“Jill was just wonderful with our pups! She is very responsible and takes the initiative without guidance. It has been a challenge finding the right fit for our babies. Jill completes the puzzle. We highly recommend her.”
About: What sets me apart is my genuine, lifelong love for animals. I truly believe pets are too good for this world and deserve endless love, patience, and attention. I don’t see them as “just pets,” but as family members who deserve to feel safe, happy, and understood. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, which has given me strong knowledge of their needs, typical behaviors, and what they should and shouldn’t eat. I’m naturally patient and kind, love taking dogs on walks and to dog parks, and focus on positively reinforcing good behavior so every pet feels confident, cared for, and loved. 🐾❤️ I am available to engage in dog care Monday- Friday, and Saturday and Sundays if told with enough time in advance. I am flexible and can work with different schedules. I am very respectful of each owners routine for their fur babies and can navigate complex instructions for their care. The pets wellbeing always comes first, and my care will focus on their safety, joy, and needs.
“Carol is amazing. My dogs were so well taken care of. I did not worry at all about them. My one dog has been difficult with eating lately and Carol was more than willing to do whatever it took to ensure she ate. I would absolutely trust her to stay with my dogs anytime.”
“Shando did a wonderful job. I came home to a clean house and a very happy dog. He stayed in touch with me while I was gone, sent me pictures and let me know how Crixus was doing. He is responsible and very kind. My dog has a new best friend! I should be jealous, but I'm not. I'm glad I found him !”
“Brie and Gabby were exceptional! They took great care of my boy while I was out of town. Apollo absolutely loved them and actually searched the house for them the morning after they had already left 🤣. Brie will definitely be my go to for the duration of my time in Las Vegas!”
“Olivia took excellent care of my dog, my cat, and my sister's dog as well! She stayed in my home for a three day, two night petsitting request, and she took great care of my house & belongings as well. Olivia is very pleasant to be around, and the animals loved her. She'll provide plenty of cuddle time as well as play time, and she follows detailed instructions without issue. I'd certainly hire her again. Thank you!”
“Chanel did such a good job watching over our dog and cats while we were out of town. She not only loved on them and cared for them but she went above and beyond to make sure our house was taken care of as well. She took out our trash and cleaned up after our pets. Chanel is reliable and easy to communicate with, we appreciate her!”
“Jasslyne is GREAT!! She was so kind as a person and so sweet to my pups! I can't wait to have her back again!!! She was also very understanding on how to let my boy come to her and being patient with him!”
About: I had a dachshund for 16 years from my early childhood to adulthood so I understand now important are dogs and cats are to us as they are family to us but I have been taking care of dogs for around 15 years since most of my family members have had dogs or cats all varying form 100 pound Great Danes to little dachshunds so overall I understand what it takes to take care of these family members and what to look out for I am currently just in online college and due to that I am virtually available 24/7 and can accept emergency calls last minute as I understand things happen and sometimes you need someone to watch and care for your dog or cats I understand that trust and safety is crucial when my dachshund was running around the house we always made sure to beware of her back since they can get IVD and with any dog it’s good to understand what should and shouldn’t happen as some pets can have underlying issues we may not see
“We had an amazing experience with Haley! She stayed at our home to watch our dog and cat, and she went above and beyond. Her communication was excellent the entire time—we always felt updated and completely at ease. We came home to happy pets and a spotless house. We’d absolutely book with her again!”
About: As a remote professional who works full-time from home, I offer a premium level of care defined by constant supervision and flexible availability. While I am newly launching my professional services on Rover, I have a lifelong background of personal pet ownership and informal care for the pets of friends and neighbors. What sets my service apart is my 100% open availability during the day. Your pet will not be left alone for long stretches; instead, they will enjoy a structured routine, frequent potty breaks, and immediate attention whenever they need it. I am highly organized, exceptionally communicative, and committed to following your exact care instructions. I maintain a calm, quiet, and predictable home environment that is ideal for pets who experience separation anxiety or those who simply thrive on human companionship throughout the day. You can expect regular text updates and photos, giving you complete peace of mind while you are away. As a remote professional working full-time from home, my schedule is exceptionally flexible, allowing me to integrate dedicated pet care seamlessly into my daily routine. I am fully available throughout the day for continuous supervision, regular potty breaks, and interactive playtime. Whether providing boarding, daycare, or house sitting, my work-from-home setup ensures your pet is never left unattended for long stretches and receives reliable, attentive care seven days a week. Safety is my highest priority, and my home is optimized to provide a secure, stress-free environment. I feature a fully fenced, secure yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. For socialization, I have friendly resident pets to keep your dog company; however, I maintain a highly organized space where I can easily crate, separate, or provide private zones for your pet if they prefer quiet time or require a gradual introduction. I strictly follow your specific feeding, medication, and safety instructions to maintain their exact home routine.
“We have booked Jorie twice to dog/cat/house sit while we’re out of town. For 1 and 2 week long trips. Highly recommend her. Our pets love her and the dog doesn’t like anyone but us, but Jorie won her over easily. It’s also important to trust someone with your home and Jorie leaves our home in perfect condition. We can go on vacation with peace of mind knowing she’s there to watch over our babies.”
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,659 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.
