“Krista was wonderful with our two tabby’s. They both are usually shy around new people, however her loving energy won them both over immediately. I highly recommend Krista, she went above and beyond caring for our cats.”
“Jordan was fantastic and took such great care of our dogs. Her updates and communication were great and all care instructions were followed for our two dogs (including our older dog with health issues). I’d recommend her any time!”
“Dallas and I had a great experience with Bianca! When I first reached out she was very easy to communicate with. She did a meet and greet first and Dallas was immediately comfortable with her. She did drop-in visits with him and sent a detailed report and lots of pictures each time. Definitely would book again!”
“Annette has been so wonderful wi the my 3 dogs. She is such a positive, encouraging person- I’m so glad to have met her and for her to help with my dogs.”
“I searched for the right dog sitter for my English Bulldog Gigi and my little rescue mix Petey. I found Nicholas and was not disappointed! He has a calm, confident demeanor that works well with being a caretaker of dogs. In my instance it helped that he has English Bulldogs himself so he knows that they can be nippy, protective and scrappy. He demonstrated a keen sense of how to interact with Gigi and each visit he made progress with her. His detailed recaps of his visits gave me a great peace of mind while I was away. He is thorough, caring, responsive and trustworthy. He takes care of my dogs as if they were his own. I truly appreciate his ability to take care of my two and am looking forward to continued use of his services. I highly recommend Nicholas to take of your pets!”
About: I am one of the biggest animal lovers!! I find all animals adorable and fun and I would love to help out in any way possible. I have had a ton of experience with dogs! I have had 3 of my own as well as dog-sitting and taking care of family members dogs, neighbors, and friends. I also have a lot of experience with cats. I have grown up with family cats and I own my own 3 year old tuxedo male as well! I am currently working part time and am also a master's student at Fordham. With mostly remote classes and working only part-time, I am home a lot and have a lot of free time during my day! I live in an apartment near many different parks, so I have many locations where I can bring them. I also have the space to crate any animals as needed.
“Angela is such a sweet and caring sitter for my guys! She reached out to have a meet and greet prior to her drop in visits to meet my cats and hear about their complex needs and personalities. She was thorough and professional when it came to caring for my older, and often misbehaved kitties! 10/10 would book again.”
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!

“Brandon was great as usual I never use anyone else. He's the best the most reliable professional and the most caring about my pets. Thank you Brandon. I'm so grateful for you.!”
About: If there's a dog to pet or a cat to befriend, I'm already on my way! 🐾 I've spent over 20 years loving and caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities. From energetic zoomies to cozy cuddle sessions, I'm here to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'll treat them like family—because that's exactly what they are! I'm currently a graduate student completing a summer internship that has me in the office M-F. However, I am an early riser and more than capable of making visits before and after work and my weekends are usually pretty open! I care for every pet as if they were my own by sticking to their normal routine, giving them plenty of love, attention, and exercise, and making sure they always have fresh food and water. I'm happy to administer medications if needed, clean up after pets, and keep your home tidy while you're away. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for.
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: Pet sitting is my bread and butter. I have had cats my entire life and have in the past three years been pet sitting for dogs as well. It has been my mission to provide stellar service to any and all cats and dogs that come my way! I understand the nuances of these crazy cooky critters and no matter their individual quirks, they shall be treated with the utmost respect and authority, as all animals should be! I am currently a full time student at ASU, who only goes on campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Since I am not on campus for a substantial period of time, it allows me to spend more time with any animals I pet sit for! I always, before I leave if need be, make sure that I see the pets that I’m sitting for to make sure everyone is accounted for. I always make sure the windows and doors are locked and I do a sweep of the place (and my own place) to ensure that everyone is safe and secure!

About: I am a veterinary technician with over 3 years of experience, and have recently pivoted my focus from nursing duties at a small veterinary hospital to caring for pets on Rover. With me, you will not only be guaranteed quality pet care, but also reliable communication that gives you peace of mind. I can keenly perceive the signs of potential distress in animals, and I know what to do in cases of emergency or illness. Additionally, I absolutely love any and all pets. I am experienced with administering medication (both oral and injectable), special needs care, senior care, puppy care, kitten care, and everything in between. Due to my advanced skills, you will notice that my rate is a bit higher than other sitters. However, you will be receiving the additional skills and medical/behavioral knowledge that most sitters don't have. I work full time as a freelancer remotely, so I can provide pet care exclusively in your pet’s own home, allowing them to stay comfortable and relaxed in their familiar environment while you’re away. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and other care based on your pet’s normal routine. For pets who need a little extra attention, I also offer special-needs care for an extra fee. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and animals with medical or mobility needs, including administering medications and providing more involved care. When booking, please let me know about your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, medications, temperament, exercise needs, and any medical or behavioral concerns I should be aware of. Please also include how frequently you would like me to be in your home (24/7 vs part time) and what you would like completed during each visit. Everyone’s pet is different, and cost will adjust according to needs. Please note: Special-needs care may include an additional $25 per day depending on the level of care required. This may apply to pets who are diabetic, have mobility limitations, require more involved medication administration, or otherwise need additional care beyond a standard visit. I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats and am comfortable working with pets of different ages, temperaments, and care needs. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions regarding feeding schedules, medications, walks, potty breaks, enrichment, and household routines so your pet’s schedule can remain as consistent as possible while you’re gone.

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 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.

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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carefree
Linda is absolutely fantastic. She took amazing care of my older cat Marina, and was so kind and patient with her even when Marina was standoffish in the beginning. Linda sent pictures every day and kept me up-to-date on Marina’s mood and health, and she was incredibly respectful of our home. Cannot recommend Linda enough, she is the best of the best!!!
Krista always does a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we are away. She also goes above and beyond when we need special help (while we were way on our last trip, she actually dropped something off for us). She is very pleasant to work with, responsible, responsive, and dependable! We could not ask for a better person to provide care in our absence!
Lyla is the best pet sitter I have ever had. She went above and beyond to take very good care of my cat Alexia for 30 days. My cat is 18 years old, she previously had two seizures about seven months ago, and she had another episode while we were out of town. Lyla, acted very professional and cared really for Alexia. She called me to inform me, she called the Vet clinic, and the emergency pet hospital. She stayed longer with Alexia to make sure she was feeling better after the episode, and she helped her recover and calm down. Lyla, treated my cat and my house with a great respect, Alexia looked cleaned and happy and the house was tidy and clean. I will hire Lyla again and again, she is very nice, professional and reliable. She could literally handle any issues and she is willing to do anything to make your babies happy. Thank you very much Lyla for being such a great person.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Carefree is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $20 and $33 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 5,817 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
