“Monna is by far one of the greatest sitters we have found. Monna treated our fur baby like her own and was very quick to communicate with! She went above and beyond, made our little one feel right at home and gave her all the love while we were away! I will definitely be booking with her for our future travel plans. Thank you again so so much! We appreciate you!”
“Caroline was very helpful watching our boys during our wedding week! She was so patient to our boys after a few accidents and was still so incredibly kind to them even after! 10/10 recommend!!”
“Richard watched our dog Mister for 9 days. We received daily pics and updates which was great. He was VERY accommodating with pick up and drop off times. Would definitely recommend and use again!”
About: Hi! I’m Lauren, a Scottsdale-based pet sitter who believes dogs deserve a loving home environment while you’re away and not a stressful kennel. I grew up on a farm with many house pets. I have 35 years of animal care experience and a special place in my heart for dogs! Your pup will get personalized care, lots of attention, playtime in a fenced yard, swimming in a pool, daily walks to my neighborhood walking trails, cuddles, and a cozy place to relax. I treat every pet like family and love sending photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your dog loves adventure or just wants a comfy couch and belly rubs, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids in school. Our biggest strength is round the clock animal care. We treat animals as if they’re our own and with all the attention and care they deserve. I live in a gated community, with a fenced in yard. We begin our days with food and then a walk on our walking trail in my community. Afterwards, we like to swim in my fenced in pool in my backyard. The entire day consists of belly rubs, pets, snuggles, and as much playtime as your pup needs! I also help with crate training, and making sure we instill your house rules for animals here as well! As an animal parent myself, I understand that all animals require different things!
“I’m so happy I found June and Junyeong! They were absolutely wonderful—sending us updates and pictures twice a day, which gave us such peace of mind. It’s clear they truly care, and our sweet girl was in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for better care and highly recommend them!”
“I needed a one-nighter as I am camping near by and wanted to see a show. I think it may have been one of the better nights that Jax had on this trip. It wasn't just an overnight stay he was adopted into the family for 24 hours and he was loved on a lot. I highly recommend Andrew and Ginny.”
“Jason was very easy to communicate and work with. He was flexible with drop off and pick-up time, responsive over text/messaging, and he sent great pictures that made us feel at ease. Highly recommend Jason for boarding!”
“Nicole was wonderful! Great communication, very responsive. She was also really flexible with me and let me decide whether to board Xena at her place, or to have her drop in a couple of times a day. We ultimately chose to board her, because she has two sweet and silly pups and Xena loves other dogs! But also because during our meet and greet, Nicole was lovely and attentive and very reassuring! Happy to have found someone so close by also!”
“Wanny was absolutely wonderful with Matcha! She sent us frequent updates, along with so many beautiful photos and videos (honestly better than the ones we take ourselves!) It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Matcha is still a young puppy, and she was incredibly patient and understanding with him. She kept a close eye on his playtime, made sure he was comfortable, and clearly put a lot of care and attention into his routine. When we picked Matcha up, he looked happy, healthy, and well cared for. We truly appreciate everything Wanny did for him and would absolutely book with her again in the future. Highly recommend! 🐶✨”
“Bonita is amazing! Great communication from the start. She sent us pics throughout the stay. We are especially grateful for Bonita accepting the extended 2 week stay. This was Lady’s first time away from home so she had a bit of anxiety the first 2 days. Bonita was a pro and kept us up-to-date on how she was acclimating to her new surroundings. Lady loved the early morning walks and playing out in the big backyard in the cooler hours of the day. I can’t thank Bonita enough for being so caring and taking care of our pup. We look forward to having her sit for us in the future.”
“Our dog Tucker bonded with Melinda and her family almost immediately. Her dog Murphy is easy to get along with and was a good companion to Tucker. Melinda walked them regularly, sent us frequent updates and gave Tucker loving care. Melinda is the perfect fit for Tucker and us.”
“Christina does a wonderful job caring for our dog Cookie! We get adorable pictures and updates daily and Cookie has the best time! It’s such a relief to not worry about our fur baby when we’re out of town!”
“Absolutely AH-MAZING!! Cara, her family and her pup Lucky took such great care of my little 7 month bestie, Rocco, even when Rocco wanted to play way after Lucky was tired! Cara was communicative, and totally on top of everything this little frenchie needed! We can’t wait (Rocco and me) until our next booking with Cara. Would recommend 1000%…. As long as we can still get on her schedule!! 😂”
“Ash was so attentive and responsive to me and Rudy. She made sure to ask questions about him to make him the most comfortable in a new setting and Rudy came back as happy as usual.”
“Katherine and Tanner hosted our 10 year old golden retriever. It was a wonderful experience not only for our dog, but also us. We received daily pictures and feedback. It was clear our dog was being incorporated to their family playtime, just like he would be at home. When I picked him up, he did not seemed stressed or exhausted from worry about being separated from us. I felt that their family truly enjoyed watching our dog. Katherine and Tanner will be my first choice in the future for hosting our pup!”
“The best! It was like a playdate for my boy. He had a blast. Xavier was very communicative. Received updates and felt confident Coop was in good hands. He loved a break from apartment life to enjoy the backyard. Will definitely rebook when Coop needs a sitter again. Thanks Xavier!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Gina. She’s reliable, trustworthy, and truly caring. She treats my dogs like her own. They always come home happy and well cared for. She’s my first choice every time and I highly recommend her!”
“Shahla was great. She was very experienced with taking care of senior dogs and out 14 year old English Bulldog was no exception. It’s always tough leaving a pet but Shahla made this so much easier. She was excellent with communication as well. Highly recommend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Carefree
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 for Dog Boarding in Carefree on Rover is $47.08 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,595 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Carefree sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Carefree landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Carefree home-away-from-home, we recommend 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 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 .
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.
