“Stephanie was amazing with my pups! My bigger boy can be protective and barky when he doesn’t know someone so it was important to me that whoever comes to watch them can handle that and she was amazing about it. She provided updates and photos and I was very comfortable being out of town knowing she was nearby and coming to check on my babies. Would definitely use her again in the future!”
“This was Poly's second time with Sammy and he loved her, he even slept with her. She was fantastic, gave me updates on how he was doing. I already have her coming again the end of the month. I highly recommend her, she is awesome !”
“Brianna and Gabby were wonderful! They sent regular updates and gave extra treats and cuddles while we were out of the country. We felt very safe and worry-free knowing our dogs were well cared for while we were gone. Highly recommend this great power team! 🥰”
“Sierra did amazing with her sitting of my two girls. She was communicative and respectful of my home. She sent photos of my girls throughout the sitting, and updated me with any needed information. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
“Cassidy did an amazing job taking care of all my animals! She really paid attention to all the little details and was very understanding about our little dog barking at night since he isn’t used to sleeping by himself. I really appreciated her patience and the care she gave all of our pets. I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands, and I would definitely book with Cassidy again!”
About: I've had small dogs growing up. I've had cats for 10 years. I volunteer at Homeward Bound Cat Adoption. I socialize with the cats so I can help them find their forever home. I volunteer three days a week and I own my own business. Both are flexible, I can set my own schedule to accommodate your needs. I will take care of your pets however you do. If you need dog walking, play time, lap time. When I volunteer, I like reading to the cats so if your pets need any kind of conversation, I am there. I'm learning how to bottle feed, where I volunteer, so if you need that, I can do that as well. Meds we can discuss.
About: I grew up around dogs of all sizes. From Saint Bernards, Cane Corsos, Dobermans, Pits, to Pomeranians and chihuahuas. Dogs have always been a love of mine, which is why I have 3 of my own. Whether you are looking for someone to care for an energetic puppy or a senior baby who needs a little something extra, I will care for them as if they were my own. I have worked hard in training my dogs and others in leash training, off-leash training, food aggression, potty training, crate training, and separation anxiety. With time and patience, there is no such thing as a hopeless dog. Some babies just need some extra care, attention, and training. I currently work Tuesday - Friday and am available to stop by after 5:30 pm for a check-in or a walk. However, if you are going out of town for the weekend and need to board, I can pick up your pup Friday after 5:30 pm and drop off anytime Monday or Tuesday morning before 7 am I have a fenced yard and a dog door so that your dog can spend time outside without going anywhere. I have 3 friendly fur babies to keep yours company. If needed, I have crates in my home. I also have a spare room that your dog can stay in if they need to be separated from mine.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and have had many different breeds. Beagles are indeed my favorite as I have two of them! Our dogs are crate trained and prefer to sleep in their crate at night. They are allowed everywhere in the house and sleep on our furniture and cuddle with us Currently only working part-time with no set schedule. I am home majority of the day to care for all the pets including yours! My pets are allowed to roam the house and get on the furniture with us. I have a fully fenced in yard and I live near a massive dog park to take your pet to play in if they need more room to run around! Our pets cannot get into anything toxic or poisonous as everything is out of their reach.
“David is a very amiable person, and extremely reliable. He communicated daily while I was traveling, and took good care of my 2 dogs. I can not recommend him highly enough”
“Kaylee was communicative and excellent with our high maintenance girls. She was on top of ensuring the alarm was set, the house was secured, and items brought it. We had no concerns on our trip, and we owe that to her. We will absolutely utilize her services again for our next trip.”
About: What sets me apart in dog care is my intentional approach to looking after them. I don’t just meet their basic needs; I focus on creating a nurturing environment filled with patience, gentleness, and love that they can genuinely feel. I build trust with each dog, helping them feel safe, loved, and completely at ease with me. Every interaction is purposeful, attuned to each dog’s unique personality and needs. For me, caring for dogs goes beyond just a service, it’s a heartfelt experience where I bring my full attention and empathy. My schedule fits perfectly for dog walking, with availability in the mornings and evenings. This flexibility lets me meet the needs of different dogs, from energizing morning walks to relaxing evening strolls. I can offer them a consistent routine, which I know is essential for their well-being and helps create a stable, comforting environment in my care. When I care for dogs in their home, I make sure to listen closely to what they like and dislike based on what you’ve told me. I do activities that they enjoy, give them plenty of physical touch if they like it, and make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I walk them, feed them, and even talk to them, creating a familiar and enjoyable experience that feels just like home for them.
About: I've taken care of many different pets over the years. Not only paid but voluntary. I love animals and I also have a dog of my own. He's loving. I have a nice backyard that's fenced in that's perfect for your dog to play. I have a pet of my own. Your pet will not inconvenient me in any way. In fact they will fit right in to our home. I will make sure your pet is fed, clean if necessary, used the bathroom and even have playtime to insure your pet that he/she is safe and can enjoy themselves.
“Vanessa was great. Booked last minute and she totally made me feel comfortable that Rocky was in good hands. Many updates with lots of pictures. I would definitely have her watch Rocky again!!”
About: I’ve always had a connection with animals and they have always been a big part of our home. I want to spread the love and get the opportunity to meet more pets! I’m a responsible 22 year old nursing student wanting to make some money doing what I love ! I’m currently available at anytime besides having school from 9am-2pm on Mondays & 10am- 4pm on Fridays. Weekdays are preferred for scheduled meet-ups. However please message me personally to guarantee you and your pets needs :) Thank you ! Disclaimer* no aggressive dogs pls :) If the pup doesn’t get along with other dogs then please inform me ahead of time. I currently live with my grandmother and her smaller dog Benji who gets along with anyone and anything. Although I do prefer to dog sit at the owners home, taking care of your pups needs will be assured because of our big home, our backyard play area, and experience as a pet owner/watcher. Other areas of care would be daily exercise for your pups, a routined eating schedule, and my full attention and love !

FAQs for House Sitting - Apex
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,668 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
