“Monna is The Best! She took such good care of our little shih tzu —walking her, feeding her and most of all loving her.! Our doggie was missing Monna when we brought her home!!”
“Melinda & her family are the best! Our anxious boy had the best time and we never had to worry about him while we were away. We’ve had not great experiences with Rover sitters in the past but we will 1000% be using Melinda again. She will love and spoil your pup like they are her own and she was great at sending pictures and videos!”
“Sara took good care of Hermee for almost a week while we were out of town. We enjoyed getting the pictures showing him having a good stay. We will be happy to have Sara watch him again if the need arises.”
“Junyeong and June were amazing with my girl Bailey. They sent picture and video updates to show how comfortable Bailey was during her time. I would highly recommend them and will use them again next time I need a sitter.”
“Roseanne watched my dog Pete and was just wonderful. She made him feel at home and went out of her way to help him adjust. She gave me regular updates and photos which reassured me he was with a caring person. I felt very comfortable leaving Pete in her care and would rely on her again on another occasion.”
“Xavier is amazing and takes such good care of our dog! He is very attentive and caring for Duck while he’s there. Updates us with many pictures throughout the stay of how he’s doing! Highly recommend him for your sitting needs! 10 out of 10”
“Heidi and her family are great with Gordie! We know he is treated like we would treat him when we leave him with Heidi. We will continue to have Heidi care for our dogs whenever we need to!”
“Jeremy and his family were great! My pup was in good hands and got lots of exercise as they have a nice field for your pup to run around. My only recommendation is to bring a bed for your pup maybe, as their air conditioning unit for the pups is solid flooring. Definitely will be using Jeremy in the future!”
“We had Mike watch Izzy for 8 days and everything was great. After making the reservation, we took our dog to meet Mike and to see where our dog would be staying. Their home is set up very well for the pets safety and their comfort. They were very easy to communicate with and were always very responsive by text. They provided contact daily with a brief update and a photo which was very comforting to us. We have already booked another stay for two weeks and know that Izzy will be very well cared for. We highly recommend Mike and his wife to care for your pet.”
“Tiffany took great care of our Chloe, providing a warm and calm environment, especially with it being her first stay with them. Tiffany was also very responsive and provided daily photos.”
“Gregory is absolutely a great dog sitter! He is very caring and accommodating of my older doggo who has medication requirements and an assortment of quirks in his routine. Gregory was very patient and concerned about helping our dog reach a comfort level in his care. I very much appreciated his communication and photos. Gregory definitely goes above and beyond!”
“Wonderful person, Melissa was as professional and as nice as could be. I loved her updates and photos of Bella sent to me while I was gone. Bella was very content but probably a little nervous the first night and Melissa did everything to comfort our dog. Will use Melissa again”
“Kaitlyn and her family took great care of my dog. They watched him for 5 days and sent me updates and pictures everyday. I'd recommended her for anyone needing a dog sitter.”
“Zelda loves being with Joseph and settles in so quickly! He always sends frequent updates and photos. 10/10 recommend and would definitely go to him first if we are ever out of town!”
“Julija is fantastic. She watched our 3 dogs and they were so happy with her that they would just lay all over her. When ever we need our dogs taken care of hopefully we can call on her.”
“Our dogs are very happy, no worries about our dogs, we are highly recommending Colleen for dog boarding. Brady and Pepper are looking forward to the next vacation so they can go back. The yard is very safe and ideal grass for dogs. Everything provided was ideal for dog boarding”
“Chantell and her husband are amazing! My two dogs really enjoyed their stay with them. Definitely recommend these two for each and every time you need a dog sitter. We will definitely be booking with them again.”
“Jayme gave lots of updates throughout our dog's stay. Her pup Murphy is also very friendly. This is our second time using Jayme as a sitter and we would definitely recommend her to others!”
“We are absolutely thrilled with the care our puppy received from Carlee. She sent pictures and updates regularly and was very accommodating to our requests and delays. Since we were gone 3 weeks, it was very comforting knowing Zeke was so well taken care of. We will definitely use Carlee again. She’s wonderful.”
“Catherine was SO amazing to work with during our visit to Scottsdale. It was our first time boarding our puppy and she was a joy to work with. Her townhouse with a gated front yard was perfect for Dexter. She was communicative for the 3 nights Dexter stayed with her. She sent pictures and updates daily. She responded quickly whenever we texted her. Catherine has the most positive attitude and vibe. I highly recommend Catherine to take care of your pet.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Carefree is $45

If you’re looking for a dog sitter, she is YOUR person! We were honestly a little nervous because our pup, Luke hadn’t stayed with someone new in a long time, but the moment we arrived we felt completely at ease. Her home was warm, welcoming, and clearly a great environment for dogs and Luke walked right in like he belonged there. 😂 From the start she was kind and communicative, and while we were away she sent daily photos that made our whole family smile! We could tell he was being loved and cared for like her own and he came home happy, calm, and totally himself. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. You can truly trust her with your pup, we will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾
Brenda did a great job watching our dog for over a week. She was fantastic with accommodating our dog the entire time - from letting us do a meet and greet to managing her medication schedule, she was very trustworthy and kept our dog safe and happy while we were out of town. She even let our dog sleep on her bed. She also sent pictures/updates throughout and was very responsive whenever we reached out to her. She went out of her way to make the drop off and pick up process a breeze for us, which was really appreciated. We will definitely use Brenda the next time we need a dog sitter. Thank you Brenda!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Carefree is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $68 per night. 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.

As of October 2026, there are 2,612 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Carefree. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Carefree can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carefree home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Carefree.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Carefree sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AZ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
