“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!!”
“We felt very comfortable having Caroline take care of Dolly while we were away, She kept us updated on how things were going and sent some cute pictures along the way. We would recommend her and would use her for future pet sitting.”
“Katie was amazing. We are so glad to have found her. She frequently kept us updated with photos and videos of our dog. It was a last minute holiday booking and Katie was able to accommodate our dog. We will definitely go back to Katie whenever we need dog boarding again.”
“Yanique is such a good pet caretaker. She took good care of my cat and made sure she was fed well and was comfortable in her space. She kept me posted and was very sweet with my cat. Your pet would be in safe hands if she were to be taken care of by her☺️”
“Wow! Allie came home from her "vacation" with Richard healthy and happy. She wandered around a bit missing her friends but quickly acclimated to home. It is such a pleasure to know that Allie now has a home away from home. Richard sent a picture each day, thus eliminating any worry that she was not being cared for. When picking her up he called her a sweetheart! I have told anyone that will listen about rover.com and specifically the dog loving Richard. We will book Allie's future"vacations" with Richard. Thanks Richard and Thanks Rover for such positive experiences and outcomes.”
“Lauren was great! She took care of our dog and cats like they were her fur babies. We received photos every day so we could see how happy our pets were. I highly recommend her services!”
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kaitlin. She watched our 150 lb cane corso Bruce and cared for him like he was family. Bruce fell in love with her and Koko from the start and it made my heart happy that he was in a warm and loving home while we were away. Kaitlin’s communication was excellent and I loved all the daily updates and photos I received from her! Even when my large dog took over her bed for naps 😂 Kaitlin is very knowledgeable about dogs and their behavior and even did some training with our big guy during his stay. I whole heartedly recommend Kaitlin to anyone looking for a pet sitter. She is truly the best!”
“This was Matcha’s second stay with Wanny, and once again she was amazing! She kept us updated with lots of photos and videos and took wonderful care of Matcha. We especially appreciated her patience, attention to detail, and flexibility when our flight was delayed. We’re so grateful that Matcha has such a caring sitter (and a friend in Mellow!). We would absolutely book with her again!”
About: Having animals my entire life, from horses to chinchillas and everything in between, I have a deep love and understanding of all God‘s creatures. I have experience in training, gaining trust, and caring for even the most stubborn of animals (Frenchies). I work full-time from home for my own business, so I am fully present throughout the day. Walks can happen early or late, to avoid the high heat. I have a fully fenced backyard at my house and plenty of cool space indoors. My French Bulldog and Burmese cat live at home and love to have 4-legged company.
“This is the first time we’ve asked Katherine & Tanner to watch our dog while we were out of town for the weekend, and it was an amazing experience! Katherine was super responsive, sent plenty of updates and made our dog feel right at home. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, clean and welcoming environment for their pet. We will definitely use them again!”
“Junyeong & June took excellent care of our Danika. We requested an extension for emergency reason and we were so happy that they were willing to take care of Danika. They send us pictures and updates. Danika enjoys her stay with them.”
“Debbie and Bill were absolutely fantastic! Our dog loved being with them! Our dog loved all the walks with Debbie. They kept us informed with photos and comments. We will definitely use them again!!”
“Stella had a great time with Ginny and Andrew! Long walks in the park and lots of attention. What more could a dog want! I will definitely have them watch Stella again.”
“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 is so wonderful! She takes amazing care of our dog and loves her as if she were her own. We know that when we go on vacation our doggie is also on a sweet “vacation” of her own!”
“Xavier did great with my 15 year old lab/collie mix! I was travelling out of the country for 10 days and everytime I got service I had new photos to view. He kept me well informed and I knew my dog was enjoying himself and the nice big yard Xavier has to offer.”
“Abby had a great time at Jeanne’s house. Jeanne is great with dogs, lots of outdoor play time. She sent pictures and updates twice a day. Abby fit right in with her family. I will gladly use her again on my next trip.”
“Excellent service. I was very pleased with my entire experience. Bonita was very friendly and understanding. She took great care of my pup & I would definitely use her again! Thank you!”

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 $46.79 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 2,584 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.
95% 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.
