“We used Brenda’s daycare service three times in a week and couldn’t be happier. Our little Ruby had a great time with Brenda’s small and friendly dogs. Also, Brenda was super friendly and obliging. Will use her again for sure when we visit Scottsdale again.”
About: I recently lost both of my fur babies of 13 years. The house feels empty and would love to share it with some pups that need love and care. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule for regular potty breaks, walks and snuggles. My yard is large and fully fenced in. I have a large yard and live in a great neighborhood for walks. The house is also pretty big for roaming. My children are here half time and love animals.
“Dez loves her furrfriends and piggies too! Laura is fantastic and Dez loves her sooo much too!!!! Thank you Laura for peace of mind that Dez is happy and having a blast -while I am off working my long appt days.”
“They were awesome! Georgie had a blast and played with their dogs. Got lots of pics and videos and was his first time with other people and he had so much fun. Definitely sending him over again! Thank you both!”
“Jeanne is a wonderful dog sitter! This was our first time using Rover and Jeanne made the entire process so easy. She was extremely accommodating to our specific needs for Nairobi’s daycare. Nairobi and her dog Kona got along so well and Jeanne sent us pictures and updates every day. We know we have found our go to dog sitter and we look forward to having our pup stay with her again.”
“Always great with my puppy. He gets ton of 1 on 1 attention and reaffirming with his training. Lauren is super friendly and always responds quickly and gives cute updates with photos.”
“Our Max had a fantastic time with Nicole, her daughter, and pup Winston. We are so excited to have made this connection with a fun and loving family. We will be back soon.”
About: Hi! I’m Lauren, a Scottsdale-based pet sitter who believes dogs deserve a loving home environment while you’re away and not a stressful kennel. I grew up on a farm with many house pets. I have 35 years of animal care experience and a special place in my heart for dogs! Your pup will get personalized care, lots of attention, playtime in a fenced yard, swimming in a pool, daily walks to my neighborhood walking trails, cuddles, and a cozy place to relax. I treat every pet like family and love sending photo updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your dog loves adventure or just wants a comfy couch and belly rubs, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I am currently a stay at home mom with kids in school. Our biggest strength is round the clock animal care. We treat animals as if they’re our own and with all the attention and care they deserve. I live in a gated community, with a fenced in yard. We begin our days with food and then a walk on our walking trail in my community. Afterwards, we like to swim in my fenced in pool in my backyard. The entire day consists of belly rubs, pets, snuggles, and as much playtime as your pup needs! I also help with crate training, and making sure we instill your house rules for animals here as well! As an animal parent myself, I understand that all animals require different things!
About: I've had pets all my life. I love adopting rescues. I currently have two pups - a Maltese named Sofie and a Maltipoo named Figaro. I had a cat named Mooshie but she unfortunately passed away after 15 years and I miss her. I have experience fostering up to 6 dogs at a time. I'm currently semi retired, so I'll be able to take good care of your pet! I spoil mine rotten and know I would do the same for yours :) I have a large fenced yard in a very quiet part of Scottsdale. My fur babies are friendly, so you needn't have any worries on that score. I work part-time from home so have lots of time to spend with the babies! If I go out it is rarely more than two hours and not every day. I have a completely fenced yard and don’t allow my pups out without me, as there are predators in the area. Lots of room for them to explore and play.
“Wonderful every time Amanda and Erick watches Honey! We travel from Illinois to visit Phoenix and know Honey will be well taken care of anytime we go out at night. Highly recommend”
“I have used Greg several times for Baxter & would highly recommend him! His communication is above what I expected. He sends updates throughout the day & sends pictures as well!”
“Kaitlin was absolutely awesome as was her dog Koko. They both took KC into their home for 3 1/2 days of loving care, playfulness and retrieving balls. I will definitely ask Kaitlin to watch KC when I have the need. Oh, BTW, Kaitlin did a splendid job of keeping me updated with texts and photos!!! Who could ask for more?”
About: My husband and I are dog lovers! Our kids have grown to be the same. We are experienced in boarding, walking, day care, drop ins, etc. We are comfortable with medically compromised dogs, as one of our previous fur babies suffered from an autoimmune disease. We both work from home, so we have the availability to provide frequent potty breaks, play time outside, walks, and overall love while we have your pet in our home. Our current dog, Zeke, loves to play and will gladly welcome furry friends into his home :) Your dog must be okay with kids and other dogs and CANNOT be an excessive barker. They MUST be house trained, and obedient. We do not have the capacity to care for dogs who are not trained. We have full availability, unless a previous commitment is scheduled. We work from home and never leave the house for more than two hours at a time. We have a large fenced yard and a child proofed home. Your pet will enjoy lots of time outdoors in our yard, playing with our dog and kids. We take nightly walks around the neighborhood and several potty breaks throughout the day. We keep several bowls of water around for frequent hydration breaks!
“Cihui was amazing. Finley was well cared for and she provided updates with photos and videos during his stay. You can tell She loves dogs! I felt very comfortable with Finley in her care and I will definitely use her again!”
About: I'm in my 30s and have always had at least one (or more) family dog to care for. I am happy to give your pup as much love as I do for my own two, a friendly Cavapoo and Cockapoo. Will stick to your routine and any needs you or your pup express. I'm a flexible and easy-going guy who would love to help you and give your dog some company in a happy home with two more cute and friendly dogs of my own. I currently work from home and am with my two friendly doggies (a Cavapoo and Cockapoo) all day. I only step out briefly to run an errand here and there. When the weather permits and it is not too hot, I take my dogs for walks in the neighborhood and the dog park. When the weather is extreme, I let my pups out into the backyard and then back at home. Dog care is my passion as I find it to be mutually beneficial for the pet and myself. I follow your schedule and routine as closely as possible and will give your sweet pet as much love as I do to my own two. I have a fully fenced in yard, which allows for free roaming and potty time as needed. I also take pups for walks, weather permitting. I have many toys and will also send photo and text updates to let you know that your little guy or gal are doing well. Lastly, I'm happy to provide a free meet and greet so that you're able to meet me and our pups can interact.
About: If you’re the type of pet parent who wants their pet cuddled, loved on, groomed, and genuinely doted on, I’m your person. Animals have always been a part of my life, and I’ve never known a time without them. I’m naturally very loving and protective, and I take pet care personally. I treat pets like family, not like a job, and I genuinely enjoy making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. As a pet owner myself, I know how stressful it can be to trust someone else with your animal. I keep that in mind whenever I’m caring for someone else’s pet — I’m the type who will happily flood your phone with pictures and keep communication open so you always know what’s going on. Honestly, it’s a win-win: I get to enjoy spending time with your pet, and you get peace of mind while you’re away. Im currently a stay at home mom with a flexible schedule, Im home throughout the day and able to accommodate drop-ins and last minute request when needed/ Your fur baby will be cared for with genuine care and close attention in a setting where their comfort and routines are respected. . My home is equipped with multiple indoor cameras to provide an added layer of supervision and I also have a quiet, low-stimulus den when needed to help visiting pets acclimate comfortably and reduce stress.
“Kevin was awesome with Millie!! He really knows dogs, and tailored his care to her personality and needs. We were really impressed with how quickly she felt comfortable with him. We can’t wait to book our next play date!”
“Joseph is the absolute best with our girl, Zelda! He sent updates throughout the day with pictures. By the second day of doggy daycare, Zelda would wag her tail as soon as we parked at his place. 10/10 definitely recommend!!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Carefree commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in AZ ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,018 sitters in Carefree, 89% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
