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: 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.

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’m a loving, dependable, and attentive pet caregiver who truly treats every pet like family. I understand that leaving your furry babies with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality, routine, and needs, whether they’re a playful puppy, an energetic dog, or a sweet senior who needs a little extra patience and care. I’m also happy to provide lots of playtime, walks, cuddles, feeding, potty breaks, medication reminders, and plenty of updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need. I’m reliable, organized, and happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and schedule. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always follow their normal routine as closely as possible. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, comfortable environment with plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and supervision. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, potty breaks, and daily routines. I also love sending regular updates and photos so pet parents can relax knowing their pets are happy and well cared for.

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’ve taken care of dogs for a number of years now. I know how important people’s pets are to them, so I take it very seriously. I love all dogs and how each one of them is unique and loving in their own way. I give lots of attention and care to the dogs in my care, and make sure all feel comfortable. I’d love to take care of your pup! Please reach out with any questions! I’m home most of the time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pet. I live a more active lifestyle, so if they need daily walking and exercise, I am happy to take them. I like in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment and I have a small goldendoodle who is very friendly and loves all people/dogs. I usually walk around the neighborhood by where I live multiple times daily to make sure dogs get exercise if needed. I can crate your dog if you’d like or leave them out.

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.

About: I have previous experience with dog/house sitting which include playing/walking, picking up after, feeding pet, & help retrieve mail/packages. I also enjoy just sitting with and making sure your pet is well loved while owners are away. I am currently working a part time job that I have had for 14 months in the restaurant business and am also an athlete, but all those activities range from 3-9 pm for 2 to 3 days a week. I am available early mornings, mid-day, and late nights. I can easily handle pets with love, care, and patience. I love going on walks with dogs and just live being around them. I had a dog throughout my whole childhood who was my best friend but sadly passed away 3 years ago.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Carefree on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 5,759 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.
