About: I have been pet sitting/dog walking for many years. My youngest has just graduated high school so I have a very free schedule. I have owned dogs and cats most of my life. I currently have an Irish Wolfhound and a small Pit Bull. I have spent many hours volunteering at the Humane Society and fostering. I am a stay at home mom in Cave Creek. My youngest has just graduated from high school so my schedule is quite free. I am available for drops in’s, walks/hikes, and overnights. I own an Irish Wolfhound and a pitbull mix. I am very active and run daily with my dogs. I am able to take dogs on long walks or hikes. I am comfortable with any size breed. I am respectful of any pet rules/schedules and follow accordingly.
“Brenda took such great care of our two kitties, one of which needed oral medication. She was timely and a great communicator, including texting lots of pics with each visit!”
“Ashlyn was amazing! Was a great communicator and sent lots of photos of my cat. My cat is shy and lived Ashlyn. Will be rebooking with Ashlyn in the future.”
“Jessica did such a great job caring for our three great big bundles of joy. She was amazingly comfortable with our big girls giving us immediate confidence in her abilities. We were able to enjoy an adult weekend away knowing our girls were safe and cared for. Thank you so much Jessica!!!”
About: Hey! Mark and Kendall here 🐾 We want to walk your dog!! Especially as the AZ weather cools down for the holidays, we're looking for more ways to get fresh air, as well as the lovely fulfillment that comes from playing with animals, and honestly we could use the exercise! lol. I have a bunch of dog toys too - let me know what game they like to play the most (frisbee, catch, tug-of-war) or if they're just chill and more snuggly- that's no problem either! We live in a residential home that has a large backyard with a pool, and even a doggy door [fits up to large dogs]! We are both animal lovers of all kinds, and are needing some doggo/kitty time. With 2 intentional animal care takers, your pet will surely have all the pets, mental stimulation, emotional connection, and exercise they can get! We are both available full-time for the moment and are eager to fill our time warming our hearts and helping our community <3 {Kendall} Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I've grown such an attachment to having a bundle of joy around. My family recently moved and brought the dogs with them. So living without pets for the past 8 months made me realized how important it is for me to care for loving lil sweethearts. Besides raising multiple dogs growing up, my pet sitting experience is limited to petting sitting my family-friend's dogs on several occasions. I'm able to walk dogs, feed them medicine, I almost always get dogs to warm up to me, especially through playing frisbee, catch, or tug-of-war! I also love a good relax time with the dogs, I can usually match the dogs vibe pretty well. {Mark} Hello all Im Mark, just like Kendall i have also grown up in a house with at least 1 dog present. I naturally get along with animals very well and try to give them a safe and comfortable space to be in. I will often times play the acoustic guitar in the house and al ot of the dogs ive done that around love to just lay near the music and relax, my familys bulldog would be a good example as he loves laying next to me while I play. Im excited to meet your pets! - Marky and Kenny Bear <3 My partner and I are full-time artists living in a spacious residential home. We're currently living at home full-time - which is a perfect opportunity to pet sit! We do leave the house about once a day (for groceries, events, dates, etc.) though someone may still be home. We also occasionally have people over, though they're almost all pet owners or vet techs. Also, every couple months we travel out of state to visit with family (and get out of the Phoenix heat!) Though since it's cooling down, we want to get outside and enjoy the nice weather, especially with a cutie bean of a pet! {Kendall} I'm an artist and part-time online reseller. My days often look like watering the garden, creating art at my desk or editing videos on my computer, listing items for sale online, as well as cook and clean. I do have friends over occasionally, though no worries- most of my friends are vet-techs believe it or not, or at least multiple-pet owners themselves. {Mark} I'm a musician who's recently produced an improvisational album and am currently working on distributing and releasing it to the public, as well as filming music videos. My days look like playing guitar for hours, working on my computer, watching football, and honestly playing video games. I've had a full-time job most of my life, but very recently switched to owning my own schedule. I'd be truly happy to care for a lil creature in the meantime! We are looking to fill our time directed towards caring for sweet animals, helping our community, and getting fresh air & exercise while doing it! We have a lovely, clean and spacious home with a fenced backyard. We have a doggy door, treats, a bunch of toys, a dog bed, and even a pool! There are no other animals who live here, which may benefit certain animals. We live in a lovely gated neighborhood to walk them in. Better yet (if you're okay with it), there's a glorious concrete and dirt trail along Sonoran Desert Drive that we already love walking on, might as well walk a dog too! We're excited to play with doggos, walk them, even swim with them! We're also excited to relax by the fireplace, listen to acoustic guitar or piano, or even cat nap in the sunlight glow in the courtyard. We're aware of more than just their basic needs, especially with a loving and conscious couple like us caring for your pet, we will ensure routine food, water, and exercise, as much as playtime, mental & emotional engagement, and intuitive attentiveness.
About: Pet sitting is my bread and butter. I have had cats my entire life and have in the past three years been pet sitting for dogs as well. It has been my mission to provide stellar service to any and all cats and dogs that come my way! I understand the nuances of these crazy cooky critters and no matter their individual quirks, they shall be treated with the utmost respect and authority, as all animals should be! I am currently a full time student at ASU, who only goes on campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Since I am not on campus for a substantial period of time, it allows me to spend more time with any animals I pet sit for! I always, before I leave if need be, make sure that I see the pets that I’m sitting for to make sure everyone is accounted for. I always make sure the windows and doors are locked and I do a sweep of the place (and my own place) to ensure that everyone is safe and secure!
“Daniel took excellent care of my 3 fur babies and left the house very clean. We were able to enjoy our trip knowing the animals were being loved & it was so nice coming home to the house just as we left it!”
“It is very obvious she knows cats. She has great communication and was actually able to get our skiddish cat to come out and eat her food with her there (and also get a picture). Not only did she make us comfortable but our cats felt safe with her. Definitely will consider her for the future.”

“I love Erika so much! I feel like she genuinely loves my kitty as much as she loves her own. She was so caring and went above my expectations with her level of care, I will be booking her again and would recommend everyone else to book with her. 10/10 service, she took so many photo updates ensuring me that he was doing well and i looked forward to reading her visit notes each day. Thank you so much girl!”
“Aayana was great to work with and the cats/house were well taken care of. She was incredibly flexible when we had inclement weather affect our travel plans and we will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: I've got a huge heart for animals and have been happily pet sitting for friends and family for several years now.

Every week looks a little different, but my availability stays consistent — making me reliable, responsive, and adaptable to your pet's routine. I prefer caring for pets in the comfort of their own home — where they feel safe and familiar. Just give me the directions, and I’ll follow them exactly as you need.

I’ve done full weekend stays and quick check-ins — it all depends on what works best for you and your pet. I’m reliable, flexible, and happy to adapt to your routine.
“Savannah came to do check-ins for our cat Luger while we were away on vacation. She was wonderful! She was reliable and helpful. She sent messages everyday to give us updates and she made special efforts to befriend Luger during the time. We’re so appreciative of her thoughtful care and would be glad to hire her again. Thank you!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Carefree
Linda is absolutely fantastic. She took amazing care of my older cat Marina, and was so kind and patient with her even when Marina was standoffish in the beginning. Linda sent pictures every day and kept me up-to-date on Marina’s mood and health, and she was incredibly respectful of our home. Cannot recommend Linda enough, she is the best of the best!!!
Krista always does a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we are away. She also goes above and beyond when we need special help (while we were way on our last trip, she actually dropped something off for us). She is very pleasant to work with, responsible, responsive, and dependable! We could not ask for a better person to provide care in our absence!
Lyla is the best pet sitter I have ever had. She went above and beyond to take very good care of my cat Alexia for 30 days. My cat is 18 years old, she previously had two seizures about seven months ago, and she had another episode while we were out of town. Lyla, acted very professional and cared really for Alexia. She called me to inform me, she called the Vet clinic, and the emergency pet hospital. She stayed longer with Alexia to make sure she was feeling better after the episode, and she helped her recover and calm down. Lyla, treated my cat and my house with a great respect, Alexia looked cleaned and happy and the house was tidy and clean. I will hire Lyla again and again, she is very nice, professional and reliable. She could literally handle any issues and she is willing to do anything to make your babies happy. Thank you very much Lyla for being such a great person.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Carefree is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
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 .

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.
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.
