“Ben and Zane were amazing!! Kept me updated multiple times a day and when I got my Charles back you could tell he had been loved and cared for. Will be booking again for next month!!”
“This is our 2nd time using this wonderful couple. It is easy leaving our boy Lawrence with Dawn and Andrew now. They take such good care of him and give him so much love. He is an older dog and their calm and fun environment is perfect for him. We are so grateful to have found them.”
“Could not be more pleased nor thankful to have found Mitra! She and her husband, Phil, watched our puppy and we could tell immediately upon meeting them that they are true "dog people": caring, attentive, knowledgeable, genuine, and loving. They have a beautiful home and plenty of yard for the dogs to explore, run around, and play. We felt comfortable and confident in our decision to have them watch our guy, and the experience did not disappoint: Mitra sent daily updates with pictures, and it was evident Connor was safe, happy, healthy, and getting plenty of exercise. It is typically difficult to find the right people to care for one's pets as we would ourselves--especially when new to an area, as we are--and thankfully, Mitra and Phil are it!”
“Kathryn was an awesome dog sitter and our dog had such a fun time. They went on daily walks along the beach and played all day long. Kathryn was so responsive from the very beginning. We got a ton of great pictures each day. We would 100% recommend Kathryn to watch your dog, and we hope we can bring our dog back again! Thanks so much!”
“Pamela is so great! She took care of my needy dogs as if they were her own, and I loved all the pictures she sent! I will definitely be using Pamela again!”
“Kevin was amazing with my dog Zuri. My dog had a great time. Kevin’s place is clean, safe and easily accessible for drop offs and pick up. I enjoyed getting an update and picture of my dog while I was away. Thank you, Kevin. Highly recommend.”
“Rocio was phenomenal! I’m new to the area and have been looking for a sitter I trust with my dog and she and her husband were truly lovely. They let my Georgie feel right at home, sent me pictures and videos throughout the stay, they have a good sized yard that’s fenced in and safe and Georgie came home EXHAUSTED after the stay. Absolutely going to use her again in the future! Highly recommend!”
“Lauren and her family were amazing with our precious Poppy! They were flexible with time changes and quick to respond to any questions. Most importantly, they played with and cuddled Poppy and sent regular updates and pictures! We had a wonderful trip made easier in knowing that our dog was happy and well cared for.”
“Ryan was absolutely fantastic! He was super communicative throughout the whole process, offered to do a meet & greet prior (we didnt end up doing it but the offer was super appreciated), and sent a ton of pictures/pupdates throughout the whole time. He was also very professional and had a super clean house as well. I would recommend Ryan to anyone for future pet sitters!”
“Rex is so excited when he gets to Kimberly & Deanna's . I think he made a new friend and they may just spoil him better than I do ! I am so appreciative I found someone safe and that my boy is always in good hands . I had a last minute out of town trip for a funeral and these wonderful ladies came through even in a pinch . Thank you so much ! See you soon !”
“Elizabeth was AMAZING! She took care of our baby like a member of her family. She's also experienced in dog training which our boy could definitely use a little. 😂 The photos, videos, and updates kept us feeling connected for the entirety of our time away. We're so grateful to have found her and will absolutely use her again. 🙌💙🌟☀️✨️ Thank you Elizabeth and familia!”
“Highly recommend Kelly! She was very communicative and sent plenty of photos during Tony’s stay. When our flight was delayed super late coming back, she was very flexible and willing to help us. We ultimately had a friend grab the little guy, but we appreciated how understanding she was. Thank you again!!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter for our dog and it was a great experience! Page was so patient with our quirky Golden. She went above and beyond to ensure our girl had a great stay. Page was easy to reach anytime and she sent frequent updates on how things were going. Her home is beautiful, clean, and inviting. I would not hesitate to book Page as our pet sitter again.”
“Jefri is wonderful! She is kind, knowledgeable about dogs and communicative. After meeting with her for the first time we were immediately at ease. Her house is tidy and she has a beautiful fenced in backyard for the dogs to play. We are so blessed to have found her. We will absolutely book with her again in the future. Thank you Jefri for taking such good care of our fur baby!!”
“I believe my dogs were comfortable and happy as they can be at Randy & Kays. There were quick to respond on Rover and easy to work with. They had us over for a quick meet and greet and that made a big difference to the dogs. They sent us updates throughout the weekend and made them part of the family while they were there. We will definitely use them again.”
“Van did a great job caring for our senior Yorkie Bella. Bella is partially blind and is losing her hearing as well. Van sent mulitiple pictures and videos daily during our time away. We are very grateful for Van and will definitely look to rebook next time we are out of town.”
“My Pup had a great time! Meg and Paolo are great and sent updates regularly while I was away. They treated Henry like their own. I will us them again for sure !”
“Laura was great! Picture updates of all the fun our dog was having! Such nice people. We will definitely leave our Boy with Laura in the future! Stress free travel and very accommodating drop off and pickup!”
“Sydney was amazing!! She was very good about providing updates throughout our pups stay. Will 100% be using Sydney again, she took great care of our dog!!”

If you’re looking for a dog sitter, she is YOUR person! We were honestly a little nervous because our pup, Luke hadn’t stayed with someone new in a long time, but the moment we arrived we felt completely at ease. Her home was warm, welcoming, and clearly a great environment for dogs and Luke walked right in like he belonged there. 😂 From the start she was kind and communicative, and while we were away she sent daily photos that made our whole family smile! We could tell he was being loved and cared for like her own and he came home happy, calm, and totally himself. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. You can truly trust her with your pup, we will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend! 🐾
Brenda did a great job watching our dog for over a week. She was fantastic with accommodating our dog the entire time - from letting us do a meet and greet to managing her medication schedule, she was very trustworthy and kept our dog safe and happy while we were out of town. She even let our dog sleep on her bed. She also sent pictures/updates throughout and was very responsive whenever we reached out to her. She went out of her way to make the drop off and pick up process a breeze for us, which was really appreciated. We will definitely use Brenda the next time we need a dog sitter. Thank you Brenda!!

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Carefree is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $68 per night. 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.
There are 2,659 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Carefree. About 92% of Carefree sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 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.
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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
