“They where amazing, if your an anxious pet parent like me it can be hard to travel and to find the right sitter. They are really responsive and communicative with everything. I always got pictures and videos, and it made the trip way more relaxing. They followed the directions every-time and asked the best questions. As well as always being on time. Overall I felt good knowing they were taking care of my cat. This sitter is 100% anxiety/OCD approved🫡 I will be using them again in the future for sure.”

About: I had a joyful childhood growing up with dogs since I was little. Our family has had many dogs, including German Shepherds, Maltese, Chihuahuas, Akitas, and mixed breeds. I also have experience rescuing stray dogs. When I was 13, our dog had a litter of 5 puppies, and they all grew up healthy. I used to be the first choice as a dog sitter among my friends, caring for and spending time with many dogs, including a Border Collie puppy less than a year old. I love dogs! They bring me so much happiness, and I hope all dogs around the world receive excellent care! I am currently a freelance worker based at home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your dogs! I'm mostly at home during weekdays and often outdoors on weekends. However, if needed to care for your dog, I prefer staying at home or, with your permission, taking them out for relaxation. In my home, I provide a safe and caring environment for dogs. They have designated areas with all their essentials and plenty of supervised playtime and walks. I prioritize their comfort and well-being while following any specific instructions provided by their owners.

About: I have taken care of and had a passion for taking care of dogs since I was 7. I have been watching close friends and family’s pets overnight and or taking them on walks since I could remember. Taking care of animals falls into my routine because I am a student and have a very open and flexible schedule to be able to help people out I would treat any clients home as if it were my own, keeping the house clean and taking proper care of it as to the clients wishes.

About: I'm was professional pet trainer at a major retail chain. I've lived with a dog, cat, chinchilla, hamster, bird, or fish most of my life. I love fur babies and want help people when they need to be away from their beloved pets. Most recently, I helped sit a household with four elderly dogs with various medical needs. I have experience giving medications to dogs, as well as dogs with disabilities like blindness and deafness. Ideally with pet sitting, my wife and I would meet the dogs and/or cats before we pet sit to learn their specific needs, and learn where the food and treats hide. Depending on the pets and the weather, we like long hikes/walks and short trips around the neighborhood. You actually receive two pet sitters with me. My spouse will be home most of the time while I'm at work. I'm also a certified pet sitter with Pet Sitters International. I'm a Vocational Specialist, and my wife and I work together when petsitting, so she's there when I'm not. We work together and it's a team business. I like to learn the current routine of your beloved pet(s) and try to keep their routine for their comfort. I make sure I learn your house rules and will not let those puppy dog eyes persuade me to let them on the couch unless you say it is ok. I have my Pet First Aid Course and am taking other courses to increase my Pet Safety knowledge.

About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and have always had a deep love for animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they’re away.

I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they receive meals, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention on schedule. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment while following your care instructions closely. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, meals, fresh water, and lots of affection, while keeping you updated with photos and messages.

About: I’ve always had a huge passion for animals, especially dogs! I volunteer at the Arizona Humane Society and help run a nonprofit that provides service dogs to children battling cancer. I also have experience caring for family and friends’ pets while they’re away. Since graduating from college and starting my career, I’m not quite in a position to have a dog of my own yet, so I love spending my free time volunteering and being around animals whenever I can. I currently work during the week, but I have some flexibility with my weekday schedule and can work around my hours when needed. I’m also fully available on weekends, which gives me plenty of opportunities to provide dog walking, sitting, and playtime! I will always keep a close eye on your pet and make sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. I’ll also follow any specific instructions or routines you provide to make sure your pet feels right at home.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Carefree

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Carefree is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $34 per visit. 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 5,658 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Carefree. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

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.

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 .

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.

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 .

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:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
