About: Hi I'm Kayla! I've volunteered at different animal shelters when I was 13 years old. I've handled all different kinds of animals, from dogs, reptiles and even birds! I worked at a doggy daycare/boarding facility for 3 years and have been training dogs for almost 2. I went from Kennel tech, Shift lead to Dog Trainer while working at said facility and have handled all different types of dogs. I started professionally training dogs on my own for a little under a year, but my skill and experience have left many clients happy! I also have history with dog/cat sitting, house sitting, and tending to pets while owners are away. I am currently in a mentorship for dog training as well so I can strengthen my skills and learn even more about training as the days go on. From puppies and kittens to seniors, I'm happy to take on any sort of responsibility when it comes to the welfare of animals! I am always happy to prove photos and text updates for your pets while you're gone! I am currently out of work and am getting by with training past clients. I am an open book when it comes to scheduling. With only having the occasional doctor's appointments, I am happy to tend to your pets at any time needed. I have a reoccurring appointment on Fridays from 11am-12pm, but I am able to fit in any sort of pet care in any other date and time! I have a 15 year old Shih Tzu Maltese mix, and a 10 year old Chihuahua rat terrier mix. With my Chihuahua, he is well trained in all sorts of basic obedience, he is like my little practice buddy! I am accustomed to feeding, watering, administering their meds, and playing with them at all times needed. I am more than happy to take what I know from not only caring for my own pets, but from my experience working at a boarding facility, and put them to good use with your babies!

About: I have been pet sitting for years and have worked with a variety of different volunteer organizations caring for dogs. I also have my own little dog, Roxy, who is 13 (and a certified diva). Roxy has heart failure, anxiety, and a bad hip, so I’ve become an expert at spotting when pets need a little extra care. Whether your dog is high-energy or super shy, I am patient, attentive, and want nothing more than to make them feel comfortable and safe while you’re away from home! I am currently a college student home for the summer, and am hoping to pet sit full time. Therefore, my availability is pretty much wide open. It’s very important to me that your pets have 100% of my attention, so I will never take two jobs at once. I understand that each pet has different wants, needs, and boundaries, so I do my best to make sure that I am able to make each pet as comfortable as possible. Whether it’s sticking to a daily routine or giving them some extra attention, I promise to treat your pet(s) like my own.

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: Hi, my name is Jillian, and I provide loving, personalized pet care services. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, and guinea pigs, and I have a big passion for rescue animals. I currently volunteer with local rescue organizations, so I have lots of hands-on experience with all kinds of pets. I also work for a school district with students who have special needs, and I’m available quite a bit during the summer for pet care. I’ve also had experience giving dogs their medications as needed. Whether you need daily drop-ins, walks, or other care, I’m dedicated to keeping your pets safe, happy, and cared for. I can’t wait to meet them! My schedule is very flexible during the summer, and I’m available for daytime, evening, and overnight pet care throughout the week. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, extended care, or overnight stays, I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and needs. I take pride in providing safe, responsible, and attentive care for every pet I work with. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and very good at following instructions, routines, feeding schedules, medication needs, and any specific preferences to help your pets feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

About: My mom is a veterinarian so we’ve fostered many animals, I’ve taken care of pregnant dogs, puppies and more! I have also been a dog sitter for roughly 2-3 years for 2 larger pups 1 boy and 1 girl, they’re potty trained but we did daily walks, nightly eats, and sleepovers! I am open on availability and looking for animal care work, I like to work with the owners and keep up how they do it! Or if they’re looking for someone to do it i can happily create an everyday plan that works for all I currently have 2 dogs one being a puppy and we live in a town home so I try to take them on walks when I can, they get fed twice daily and fresh water every morning. The 2 dogs I normally watch (bean and Rex) are potty trained but I am comfortable working with pets that aren’t potty trained. Their parents feed them once a day so that’s what I do for them. As well as tear resistant chew toys/bones and lots of attention!

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!!

Brandon was absolutely amazing with my dog! From the moment we connected, he was professional, responsive, and clearly experienced with pets. He provided regular updates and photos, which really helped put my mind at ease while I was away. My dog came back happy, well-exercised, and clearly well cared for. You can tell Brandon genuinely loves animals and treats them like his own. I’ll definitely be booking with him again—highly recommend!

Returning after 7 days, it was like we never left!!! I would recommend Jen anytime!!! All ready have her booked for our next trip!

Karli did a great job looking after my cat. She showed up on time, followed the feeding instructions, let my cat out on the balcony. My cat obviously liked since she sat on Karli's lap the very first time.

About: I have 14 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, grooming, administering oral medications, and providing companionship. I'm comfortable with energetic dogs that require regular exercise as well as older pets with special needs. I understand feline behavior and ensure cats have a clean litter area, proper nutrition, and a stress-free environment. I'm attentive to pet health and safety and know how to spot early signs of illness or distress. Whether it's a quick check-in or overnight care, I prioritize their comfort and well-being. I have a flexible schedule when it comes to pet sitting, allowing me to accommodate various time frames to suit both your needs and your pet's routine. Whether you require short-term care, extended stays, or occasional drop-ins, I can adjust my availability to fit your schedule. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both you and your pet, ensuring they receive the attention, love, and care they deserve. Let me know your preferred times, and I'll work to make it happen! Whether at your home or mine, I foster a safe, calm, loving environment where pets feel at ease and at home, reducing stress and ensuring they receive the same affection and attention they would from their own families. Your pet's happiness and safety is my top priority every step of the way.

About: We live in a clean home, in a safe community. We have (1) yellow lab that would like a friend to play with during the day. Doggy door available, feed, clean, and walk the dogs, we do it all. We have a pool at another location that we would be happy to take a dog or two, if they like to swim. I currently work from home and have an endless amount of time to feed and throw toys. We have cameras around the home for added security. I have a fenced yard. Dogs are contained within the property, unless on a leash on a walk or on a car ride. Safety is our biggest concern. I work from home and have plenty of time to throw toys and play with the dogs. There is a doggie door and fenced yard to play in. I have a fenced/walled yard with a doggie door. We do not have a pool or anything dangerous in the yard. Dogs are allowed to come and go as they like, unless we are told different by you. We allow dogs on the furniture and in the beds if they like.

About: I’ve had a dog since before I was 10. With the recent passing of our oldest dog, I currently have two dogs - one quiet & small (Gryffin), and one big & rambunctious (Charlie). I love them both dearly! My fiancée also has two dogs that I like to claim as my adopted pets (Presley & Rudy). I’m currently studying for the bar exam (certifying exam for lawyers) and am looking for some cash while I spend 40 hours a week studying as my full time job. This much studying is a lot of work and I’d love to have study companions get me through it! I have had dogs of all different dispositions (e.g., the reserved, the crazy, the explorer, etc.) and have the patience and compassion to love them all and ensure they all get the attention they deserve and need.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Carefree

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Carefree on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,688 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Carefree. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Carefree stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Carefree choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Carefree with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

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.
