About: In addition to house/pet sitting, I have owned numerous dogs and cats plus hamsters, fish, chickens, and horses. I enjoy working with animals and am open to caring for most types of pets. I have previous experience with Housecarers and Trusted Housesitters and can provide copies of reviews by pet owners. I am retired so my schedule is flexible. I am physically very active and able to handle extensive walking as needed. I do occasionally travel but plan my travel months in advance so it would not interfere with any scheduled sits or pet care. I am not available to care for pets in my home. I would be available both day or night to care for or sit for pets in your home. I am a walker, so dog walking is one of my favorite activities with pets.

About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up in a household full of animals, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’ve had experience with all kinds of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, guinea pigs, and rabbits, as well as caring for reptiles. I also regularly help friends and family look after their pets whenever they need an extra hand! I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, including large dogs and those with more challenging or reactive temperaments. I understand that every animal is unique and has their own needs and personality, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m a remote professional, which means I have a very flexible schedule and can spend plenty of quality time with your pets throughout the day! Whether it’s going for walks, playing, feeding, or simply providing some extra company and cuddles, I genuinely love being around animals and making sure they feel right at home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or not-so-furry!) family members! I work remotely, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and am home throughout the day! I generally follow a typical 7am-4pm work schedule, but I’m happy to coordinate around your pet’s needs and routine. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, potty breaks, or just some extra company throughout the day, I love having the opportunity to incorporate pet care into my daily routine! I’ve had plenty of experience looking after friends’ and neighbors’ pets while they’re away, including caring for their homes and making sure everything is taken care of! I’m very respectful, responsible, and attentive when it comes to someone else’s home and, most importantly, their pets. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your furry family members in someone else’s care, and I always take that responsibility seriously. I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while keeping you updated along the way!
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up with dogs and now have two of my own, which has taught me how important consistency, patience, and love are in caring for pets. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, administering basic care, and giving dogs the attention they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away I have a flexible schedule and spend much of my time helping my boyfriend with home renovation projects, which allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care. Because my schedule can be adjusted as needed, I can provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I understand how important routine is for pets and will do my best to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. As a pet owner myself, I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I always prioritize their safety and comfort. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide lots of attention and exercise, and keep owners updated with messages and photos. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them with the same love and care I give my own dogs.
“Nicholas is an excellent dog walker! He was very attentive to my dog and reliable. Very detailed feed back about the walks and went above and beyond caring for my dog. Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve been kind and gentle with animals even before I could speak! I love them all, big and small! I used to own two dogs and now own a horse. I will have school during the normal school months but only have one class a day so I will not be gone hours on end! I also have a horse to take care of but that will not keep me from your pets for too long! I follow client instructions to ensure pets are the happiest and most comfortable they can be while their family is away! I am calm and caring around animals but also playful when it’s time to have fun!
“Emma is flexible and has helped me multiple times with last minute time and schedule changes. Of note, is yesterday when there was a family medical emergency and Emma helped greatly so I could be with my family. Thanks Emma!”


About: Hi, fellow dog lovers! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life since childhood, and I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs throughout the years, including my own beloved beagle for 13 years. I truly love their companionship, unique personalities, and the happiness they bring to everyday life. I’m excited to turn my lifelong love of dogs into an opportunity to help other dog owners. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some fresh air and exercise, or loving care while you’re away, I’ll treat your furry family member with kindness, patience, and attention. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll do my best to make every walk enjoyable, follow your instructions carefully, and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your dog is in good hands. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your four-legged best friend! 🐶 I have a flexible, open schedule and can accommodate a variety of dog-walking and pet-care needs throughout the week, including weekends. I’m happy to coordinate with your schedule to find convenient times for your pup. My regular Tuesday and Thursday exercise classes are my only recurring commitments, and I’m generally available during daytime and early evening hours. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities! I live in an established residential community with sidewalks, walking paths, and numerous nearby parks with grassy areas for dogs to enjoy. Two parks are just steps from my home, and Pinnacle Dog Park is also within walking distance. My home features a secure front entrance with both a standard door and a sturdy metal security gate, plus an enclosed patio surrounded by tall cinder block walls. I take care to prevent pets from slipping outside and will always follow your instructions for leashes, harnesses, walks, and your dog’s individual needs, along with applicable community rules. I’d also be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet with you and your dog before the first booking so we can get acquainted and you can feel comfortable leaving your furry family member in my care. Your dog’s well-being, safety, and happiness will always be a priority!
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 had pets my whole life, I currently have a 2 year old long-haired Miniature Dachshund along with a 4 year old domestic Cat.

I love helping pets so my schedule fits around you and your dogs needs! Whatever makes you guys most comfortable! I can come and just walk your dog around the neighborhood or take them to the park. If you need someone to just sit there and check in on them for a period of time I can do that as well!

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated animal lover and experienced pet caregiver with a home full of personality including my two Shar-Peis (Dior and Hercules) and two tortoises(Cleo and Franklin). Caring for my special needs Shar-Pei Hercules has taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important individualized care is for every pet. I know pets are family, and I treat every animal with the same love, safety, and attention I give my own. Whether your pet loves playtime, cuddles, routine, or extra patience, I’m committed to making them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work part-time (8 days per month), which allows me to dedicate a large portion of my time to pet care. My daily routine already revolves around caring for my own pets, including two Shar-Peis—one with special needs—and two tortoises. Because of this, I’m experienced in maintaining consistent schedules, providing attentive supervision, and adapting care based on each animal’s individual needs. I’m able to offer dependable, flexible care and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a loving, calm, and attentive environment where pets are treated like family. I understand that every animal has different needs, personalities, and routines, and I make it a priority to follow their schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised play, potty breaks, exercise, and affection. I have experience caring for my own two Shar-Peis, including one with special needs, which has taught me patience, awareness, and the importance of individualized care. I also care for two tortoises, giving me experience with animals beyond dogs as well. I’m attentive to behavior, eating habits, and overall comfort, and I’m happy to follow any feeding, medication, or care instructions you provide. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home while giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Sarah, best friend to all your furry babies 🐾 My husband and I have both grown up with dogs, and they’ve always been a huge part of our lives. We now share our home with a sweet, energetic Golden Retriever who absolutely loves making new friends. Because we travel often, we know how important it is to find someone who truly cares - someone you can trust 100%. That’s the level of care we want to offer other families. We’re friendly, patient, playful, and we genuinely love getting to know each dog’s personality. From walks (during day light) and backyard playtime to cozy downtime, we make sure every pup feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with us. I’m stay at home dog mom with a side business from home, and my husband works from home, so your pup will always have company and supervision. We go on walks throughout the day, spend time playing in the yard, and keep to your dog’s routine as closely as possible. We provide a safe, dog-friendly home with a fully fenced yard and plenty of room to explore. Our Golden Retriever is very friendly and playful, so visiting dogs should be very social and comfortable around other pups, be good with sharing toys. We only host one family at a time to ensure a calm, safe environment with plenty of personal attention. We take tons of pictures and send frequent updates throughout the day so you always know how your dog is doing throughout their stay. For safety reasons, we cannot host females in heat, and all visiting dogs must be house-trained and potty-trained. We can crate your dog if needed or if that’s part of their normal routine.
About: My friends have trusted me to watch their pets while out of town. I am a pet lover and am happy to deliver a break to you and peace of mind, knowing your pet is being well cared for. This summer, I am available anytime. I am keen on setting a future schedule, so we can hopefully work a schedule out. Just reach out! I have a nice backyard with a brick fence so you don’t have to worry about your dog having outside time. If you crate your dog, I have the space to accommodate. For small/medium dogs, I have a large living room to play in the house chase. My backyard is big enough to throw a ball. I enjoy the outdoors and when weather permitting, I can hike and jog with your pet. I can walk frequently if high energy.

About: Hi, I’m Lisa! I am passionate about providing top-notch care for pets of all ages. With a reputation for reliability, excellent communication, and a deep sense of responsibility, I am dedicated to ensuring your pets receive the attention they deserve. I can monitor your pet’s health and administer medications according to you or your veterinarian's instructions, while you’re away. My commitment to open communication—including regular updates with photos and videos—further distinguishes me as a trustworthy caregiver. Additionally, I believe in the importance of being well-educated and knowledgeable about different pet breeds and understanding their specific physical needs. My personalized approach and dedication to meeting the individual needs of each pet makes me an exceptional choice for pet owners seeking high-quality and attentive care for their furry friends. I specialize in caring for your pets on their schedules. So, whether you’re at work, and your pet just needs a potty break, or you’re out of town on vacation, you can be sure your fur babies are getting the best care and attention possible. As a caregiver, pet care is an integral part of my daily or weekly routine. It involves scheduled activities such as feeding, walking, and playtime, all tailored to the individual needs of each pet I'm responsible for. Additionally, I prioritize communication with pet owners, providing them with updates on their pets' well-being and addressing any concerns that may arise. Ensuring that pets receive proper care, attention, and companionship is a consistent and important aspect of my routine. Having someone reliable, care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, has been shown to minimize stress while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client's home, there are several important aspects for me to consider: 1. ** Feeding and Watering:** Ensure that the pets are fed according to their schedule and dietary requirements. Provide fresh water at all times. 2. **Medications:** Administer any necessary medications as instructed by the client or veterinarian. 3. **Exercise:** Take the pets for regular walks or outdoor playtime to meet their exercise needs and provide mental stimulation. 4. **Toilet Breaks:** Let the pets out for bathroom breaks and clean up after them as needed. 5. **Play and Interaction:** Engage in interactive play sessions, provide toys, and offer companionship to prevent boredom and loneliness. 6. **Housekeeping:** Ensure the pet's living area is clean and tidy, including cleaning up any accidents or messes. 7. **Communication:** Maintain open communication with the pet owner, providing updates on their pets' well-being and any concerns that arise. 8. **Emergency Preparedness:** Be aware of emergency contacts, the location of the nearest veterinary clinic, and any specific instructions for emergencies. Every pet is unique, so it's crucial for me to follow the owner's instructions and cater to the specific needs and routines of each pet I am caring for.

The average cost of Dog Walking in Carefree is $27 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $33 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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 November 2026, there are 5,324 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Carefree. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Carefree. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Carefree after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Carefree. On Rover:
- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
