“Jessica is wonderful with our cat and has made it so much easier to be away. She is very thoughtful and prompt in everything she does. We look forward to engaging her again in the future when we need to be away. Most highly recommended!”
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.
“I am so pleased with Linda and the care she gave my cat. She spent plenty of time with me, communicated with me daily and expressed how’s she liked my pet. I would highly recommend and would hire Linda again.”
“Brenda took outstanding care of our two kitties including special medications twice a day. We’re already planning our next trip with confidence our kitties will be in excellent care with Brenda.”
“Krista was AMAZING!! She came over for a meet-and-greet first and our kitties loved her... she was on time, sent great photos and videos of our silly kitties, and gave thorough updates. She even helped us with our pool, as the storms had been crazy and the basket was continuously filling with leaves. Will hire her again, 100%!!”
“Annette did a wonderful job sitting our cat, Jinxy. She showed up as contracted and kept him happy while we were away. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Great experience from start to finish! Katelyn was professional, communicative, and clearly cared about my pet. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet was happy and well cared for, and everything was just as I left it when I got back. I will definitely be booking with Katelyn again and highly recommend her!”

I have also taken care of 4 kittens at once including feeding, grooming and bathing. Currently, I've owned a cat for the last 2 years and can handle biting, hissing, scratching, or just a nice cuddle. I will always make sure your priorities are my priorities. I’m currently working part time so I have a very flexible schedule and time to give to any and all pets !! I have my own form of transportation and just recently finished my college degree. I offer drop ins and overnight stays, in your home I will be nothing short of respectful, I have stayed at client's houses before and I always make sure to leave it better than I found it.

“Reliable and her love of animals made us feel our cat was in excellent hands while we were away. She handled this booking professionally and communicated very well. Highly recommended.”
“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.”
“Emma was awesome! She took perfect care of my sweet kitties. It’s so hard to leave town because I worry about my pets, but Emma eased my mind by communicating with me daily and sending pictures. She also kept everything very tidy, which I really appreciate!”
About: I have 24 years of hands-on pet care experience that has shaped how I approach every pet in my care. I've worked in veterinary hospital and emergency clinic settings, which gave me insight into animal health, behavior under stress, and the importance of following detailed care instructions precisely. That clinical background means I understand the nuances of how pets respond to different situations and how to keep them calm and secure. Beyond pet care, my background in health and wellness, private security, and farming has reinforced core values that directly translate to how I work with your pets: attention to detail, strict adherence to procedures, accountability, and the ability to manage multiple responsibilities simultaneously. These experiences taught me that consistency and reliability aren't optional, they're foundational. I have solid behavioral training experience and can seamlessly maintain whatever training regimen your pet is already on, ensuring continuity and progress while they're in my care. I'm comfortable handling multiple pets at once and can manage moderately complex care situations, though I'm clear about my boundaries, I don't take on intense medical/veterinary tasks. What I do excel at is creating a stable, attentive environment where pets feel secure and owners feel confident their pets are in capable hands. I've structured my schedule to prioritize pet care full-time. This means I'm available to work around your needs and your pet's routine. Whether that's consistent weekly sits, last-minute coverage, or flexible arrangements. I'm selective about the clients I take on, so when we're a good fit, I'm fully committed to providing the level of care your best friend deserves I currently provide in-home care exclusively: drop-in visits for feeding and playtime, sitting services, and overnight stays. Because I'm in your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention I give your pet. I follow your routines precisely: feeding schedules, training methods, house rules, and any special requests you have. Consistency is non-negotiable. Communication is built into everything I do. You'll know what's happening with your pet, and I'm accessible if anything comes up. My background in security and attention to detail means I'm naturally protective, both of your dog's wellbeing and your home. I've completed and cleared my Arizona Centralized background check, so you can have complete peace of mind. I understand that bringing someone into your home to care for your best friend is a significant decision. That's why I take every responsibility seriously, from the smallest detail about your pet's preferences to the security of your space. Your trust is everything.
About: Hi! I’m Kristy, a reliable and caring dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I’m looking to care for some wonderful pups in my local area during the evenings. My availability is primarily in the evenings, and I’m especially happy to help with evening walks and drop-in visits. My schedule varies every other week, so I keep my Rover calendar updated with the specific evenings I’m available. I’m flexible when I have availability and will always make sure I can give your pup the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m dependable, attentive, and will follow your care instructions closely. I’ll make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention during every visit. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾
About: I've always cared for and understood the unique needs of pets. My friends and family have had me house sit and care for their animals ever since I was old enough to do it. I love all of my family's pets along the way, and every animal I've met. I will be available almost every day to care for your pets. I work full time currently, but my work is remote so I can easily tend to pets when needed. I can easily follow directions/instructions and can crate your pet if needed. I am focused on keeping your animals and home safe and comfortable. I am respectful and I do not drink or smoke.
“Ashley & Benjamin were incredible care takers while I was on vacation!! I’m new to Rover and it was very reassuring to know that Kota was being cared for. Ashley was super easy to communicate with and she consistently provided updates, with photos and videos which was great to see! We couldn’t more thankful for the care provided. Thank you!!”
“Jennifer was absolutely wonderful with our two 7‑month‑old kittens. From the moment she walked in, we knew she was the perfect person to care for them. She truly understands cats and connects with them so naturally. Jennifer is an excellent communicator, incredibly attentive, and has a great sense of humor—her daily updates about the little guys always made us smile. We’re so happy to have found our go‑to pet sitter for our 🐱🐱!”
About: I am that girl that takes 20 minutes to leave the house because it takes me so long to say bye to my little friends. I love animals and have been around them my entire life. Grew up with little dogs and am now a cat mom. As a Realtor, my schedule changes from day to day, which gives me flexibility throughout the week. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra attention, I can always find time each day to care for your pet and make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make it a priority to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise and playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of affection. I’ll also keep their space clean, administer medications if needed (with instructions), and provide regular updates with photos so you know how they’re doing. If I’m caring for a pet in my home, they’ll have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and supervised care. I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and needs to make sure they feel relaxed, secure, and loved while you’re away.

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Carefree on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 2,742 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Carefree. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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 cat, 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, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carefree. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 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.
