“Emma is an excellent caretaker for my kitty! My kitty isn’t always friendly, but she was very comfortable with Emma and would allow Emma to pet her. Emma sent me photos every day which always makes me very happy. She also went the extra step and cleaned a blanket that the cat had thrown a hairball on. I really appreciate her taking the time to do this. I highly recommend Emma. I feel very confident having her in my home and looking after my fur baby.”

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.
About: Hi! My name is Rebecca, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets. I currently have two Great Danes (ages 11 and 2), two cats, and a chinchilla, so I’m very comfortable managing both large and small animals with different needs and personalities. Growing up with dogs has given me a strong understanding of behavior, training basics, and daily care routines. I’m especially experienced with large and giant breeds and understand their unique needs, including exercise limits, joint care, and bloat prevention in deep-chested dogs. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, as we recently lost our 9-year-old Great Dane, so I’m comfortable with slower-paced walks, medication routines, and providing gentle, attentive care for older pets. At the same time, I can keep up with high-energy dogs who need playtime, enrichment, and structured activity. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I treat every animal like my own and always prioritize their wellbeing, safety, and happiness. I work remotely part-time as a registered dietitian. My days are free after 9am for house visits. If making house visits, it would occur after that time. Walks during the summer are limited with heat, aim for evening or grassy fields to run some energy out during the day. In my client’s home, I care for pets by following their established routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding according to instructions, providing fresh water, regular potty breaks or walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I also make sure litter boxes are cleaned, accidents are addressed promptly, and the home is left tidy. For dogs, I prioritize safe leash handling, structured walks, and attention to each dog’s energy level and mobility needs. I’m experienced with large breeds and senior dogs, so I adjust activity accordingly and always prioritize safety (including awareness of bloat risk in deep-chested dogs like Great Danes). For cats, I focus on calm, respectful care—making sure they feel secure, keeping their environment clean, and giving attention based on their personality (whether they are social or prefer space). I also make sure litter boxes are cleaned daily and routines are consistent. I treat every pet as if they were my own and aim to provide reliable, attentive care so owners can feel confident while they’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you know your pets are safe and happy.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets for years, including my own. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior pets, energetic dogs, and pets with different personalities. I’m experienced with feeding, walking, bathing, playtime, medication routines, and providing lots of love and attention. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat them with the same patience and care I would give my own. I work a flexible schedule and have plenty of availability to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, including evenings and weekends. I’m happy to work around your schedule and provide consistent, reliable care while you’re away or busy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean and loving environment and always make sure pets are supervised and secure. I’m attentive to their individual routines, personalities, and needs, and I’ll follow any instructions you provide so you can feel completely comfortable while your pet is in my care.

I also currently have a 5 year told German Shepherd, I’ve had her since she was a puppy so I know my way around “smaller” louder dogs. And lastly I have experience with bunnies, my sister keeps two free roaming bunnies in her home Pet care fits in my schedule because I’m new to the area, I get off work much earlier than your typical 9-5 and my weekends are always free I currently have my own dog in my home. I have all the necessary toys, dog beds, entertainment to keep a pet busy and safe

“This was my first time using Jennifer to watch my Daisy. I had regular communication and plenty of pictures showing Daisy having a great time. I will be scheduling Jennifer for my next trip.”

About: I was a vet technician for almost 3 years up until recently! I now work as a Business Development Manager for a start up company! I am available every day of the work week except, Saturdays and Sundays. I love both cats/dogs and have worked with all breeds and sizes. I have prior knowledge of medication and knowledge of post surgical care. I am quick on my feet and very loving! I have knowledge on how to handle skittish cats or dogs and I am very patient. I will take my time to earn your pets’ trust to make sure that they are comfortable with me. I have been raised around cats and dogs ever since I was a child and I am very fond of animals! I am not nervous around breeds like Rottweilers or pitbulls, because I have been around both. I will NOT work with dogs that have shown aggression or have previously bitten people. I am happy to answer any other questions you may have! I’m a Business Development Manager and I work daily, so I’m unavailable in the early mornings to late afternoons around 5. But I am always happy to try and figure out a schedule with you to make sure your pups/kitties are taken care of/watched/walked. Any rules you have set for me to ensure that I take the best care of your animals! I will follow guidelines and walk details!
About: Ever since I was young, I’ve taken care of my family’s chickens, snakes, and dogs. My neighbors also had dogs, horses, and many other animals that I’ve petsit. I loved dogs so much that I walked my neighbors dogs for free since it would be good exercise for me and for the dogs themselves. Whether cuddling or playing and even doing the dirty work like cleaning up poop or throw up, I will love your dogs like I love my own. If you’re booking me for house sitting, I will walk your dog free of charge. :) I have dog walking in the morning and tend to go to the gym at night for a few hours or a date night once in awhile, I won’t be away from your pet for more than 4-6 hours according to your wishes! To make sure our furry friends are safe, healthy, and happy I would love to have a meet n greet with the owner and their pet to go over their feedings and routine before a booking. Just like I did with my dog, I’ll give your dog my constant care and attention, giving them ample affection. For dogs I’ve taken care of at my neighbors house or my clients house, I respect whether or not they’re allowed on the couches or the bed. If they want to play I could spend hours playing with them, of course stopping when I see them becoming tired or overheated. I would also like to call myself a part time maid since I like to leave the house cleaner than I found it. I love going on walks or runs with dogs to release their energy and I’m careful to avoid other dogs if they tend to be reactive.
About: I have taken care of the neighborhood dogs and always been a trusted source for keeping them safe and also doing a great job!! ! Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent care and supervision throughout the day. Dogs receive frequent potty breaks every 2-4 hours (or more often if needed), daily walks, outdoor playtime, and plenty of attention. I have a large fenced backyard for safe exercise, as well as several nearby parks for longer walks and play. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays whenever possible, and I keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I work from home, which allows me to provide attentive supervision, frequent potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. My home is clean, calm, smoke free, and features a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family and always follow each owner’s care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.
About: I have 14 years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments.

I understand feline behavior and ensure cats have a clean litter area, proper nutrition, and a stress-free environment.

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: I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I enjoy taking care of their needs, giving them plenty of attention, and making every dog’s day a little better! I am a full time virtual student so I am very flexible with making time for all your furry friends! I can stop by any time to check in on and help your little friend! Including but not limited to feeding, walking, and playing. I have an apartment across the street from a dog park. Park has both active and passive dog sections. Apartment has open space perfect for animals to move around.
About: If there's a dog to pet or a cat to befriend, I'm already on my way! 🐾 I've spent over 20 years loving and caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. From energetic zoomies to cozy cuddle sessions, I'm here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'll treat them like family—because that's exactly what they are! I'm currently a graduate student completing a summer internship that has me in the office M-F. However, I am an early riser and more than capable of making visits before and after work and my weekends are usually pretty open! I care for every pet as if they were my own by sticking to their normal routine, giving them plenty of love, attention, and exercise, and making sure they always have fresh food and water. I'm happy to administer medications if needed, clean up after pets, and keep your home tidy while you're away. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for.
About: Pet sitting is my bread and butter. I have had cats my entire life and have in the past three years been pet sitting for dogs as well. It has been my mission to provide stellar service to any and all cats and dogs that come my way! I understand the nuances of these crazy cooky critters and no matter their individual quirks, they shall be treated with the utmost respect and authority, as all animals should be! I am currently a full time student at ASU, who only goes on campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Since I am not on campus for a substantial period of time, it allows me to spend more time with any animals I pet sit for! I always, before I leave if need be, make sure that I see the pets that I’m sitting for to make sure everyone is accounted for. I always make sure the windows and doors are locked and I do a sweep of the place (and my own place) to ensure that everyone is safe and secure!

Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
