“Megan J was very attentive to our boy Remi and his needs. She was concerned that he was sad and about him only eating once a day until I assured her that he does that for me as well sometimes. She sent lots of pictures and communicated well with me. When we returned, the house was as I had left it, which was great! I recommend her services!”
“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!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals dogs and cats since little around 10 years old for my neighbors/parents friends/ family’s and referrals. They have relied on me to feed, walk, bathe, stick to schedules and love their fur babies as if they were my own. I have trained all my dogs and family members dog basic commands while also introducing new animals to each other. I have worked with puppy’s adult dogs even prior abused dogs that need a little bit more patience and care. I care for these animals as if they were mine to make sure they get the most love and attention. I’m currently working from home with my own schedule, I’m available every day of the week for boarding, drop ins, walks or whatever your needs may be! I live in a town home with my husband no kids we have a gated community with a gated court yard out front but would be going on walks with three dog parks in the community for off leash play time. If coming to your home I will follow whatever instructions are given to me to care for your animals and respect your home as much as I would for mine. I would keep my two dogs separate from yours unless advised otherwise! Kennels are welcome if needed but we have plenty of toys and enrichment toys to keep them busy!
“Jill does a great job house sitting and watching our 9 year old French bulldog. Our dog Koda is getting older and has some medical needs at times, but Jill is willing to do what is needed and takes great care of him while we are away. She spends quality time with Koda and gives us daily updates on how he is doing, which we really appreciate. Jill helps make us easier to be away from home, which gives us peace of mind.”
“Vanessa is very attentive to our pups and sends us regular updates to make sure we know what’s going on. If you’re lucky enough to book her, your pup will be in great hands.”
“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 is awesome! He was attentive with my puppy and played with him throughout the day. I can leave the house knowing it is secure and my pet is safe. 10/10 would recommend”
“Jennifer did an amazing job with our two fur babies, they immediately warmed up to her and one of our boys takes a while to get comfortable with anyone so that was amazing !! She was excellent when it came to communication and check ins, I got plenty of photos and videos throughout the entire time we where away. She even brought them her own puzzles and activities so they can play, what an angel! The hubby said this was the first time I was actually relaxed being away from our pups,so thats huge in it self, would definitely book again! She was amazing.”
“Bri was a great caretaker for My Big dog Joey I felt comfortable knowing he was being well taken care of so I was able to enjoy my vacation with no worries I will b booking her and gabby again soon!!”
“Faith did amazing! She was so sweet with all of my babies. I have 2 dogs (one came out of town with me), 3 cats, 2 turtles, and a gecko, so I have quite the crew! She checked on my reptiles, cuddled with my dog all day, and continuously checked in on both my kittens and my older cat. Her communication was amazing, and she sent me tons of photos and updates throughout my trip. When I got home, the house was picked up and everything and everyone looked great. She truly went above and beyond! I 100% recommend Faith and will definitely continue using her in the future!”
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 in online college and work part time usually I work 4-6 hour shifts so outside of that I’m able to watch after your loving pets and make sure they are fine and having a wonderful time! 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
“Haley is highly rated and takes good care of our pets, she was available at the last minute and we needed pet coverage due to a family hospital time. We rebook her often.”
“Super Star, very responsive and excellent with my pets. She communicates very well and I’ll be using and recommending her services every opportunity moving forward.”
“Tiffany stayed at my place with my fur baby Moo for a week! Let’s start off with her response efforts that I was highly satisfied with. It was my first time leaving Moo with anyone as well at my home. She did an amazing job, fantastic with updating me on any situation and I was always sent photos of Moo. Tiffany went above and beyond and exceeded expectations in my eye, she not only gave love and cuddles to my fur baby but she also took it upon herself to make sure he was fresh and clean coming back home to. My home was also left in great condition. Tiffany is very trustworthy and her confidence shows that she knows exactly what she’s doing with pets. I definitely found a fur baby sitter for any new events that may come up. She did an awesome job and I highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much again Tiffany. I appreciate your work & kind soul 🙏💗✨”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 1,691 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Apex. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
