About: I've had pets my whole life! Mostly rescues, always with their own quirks and needs, and I've learned a lot along the way about helping them settle into a new space and feel safe. Being a therapist, I'm tuned in to the little cues animals give off, so I tend to pick up on what a nervous or shy pet needs before they even show it. I'm the auntie to many of my friends furry babies. I also love getting creative with how I engage with animals. I make my own enrichment activities to keep pets mentally stimulated. At home, I've got a Shetland Sheepdog who's an absolute angel- my adventure buddy. Your pup will be in great company. My partner and I both work from home, so pet care fits naturally into our day. That means your pet won't be alone for long stretches. I can offer regular breaks, walks, and check-ins throughout the day, and I'm nearby if anything comes up. It also makes scheduling easy. Because my partner and I work from home, your pet gets consistent attention and company throughout the day. My home is a safe, comfortable space where pets can settle in and relax. I stick closely to your pet's usual routine so things feel as familiar as possible while they're with me. We have a small fenced-in yard for safe outdoor time and play, plus a secure balcony pets have easy access to for fresh air throughout the day.

Chelsea greeted my dog with a toy, has a huge fenced yard and there were other dogs to play with. My dog had lots of fun, lots of romping and lots of cuddling. I was reassured to see the photos of my dog seeming so happy while she was there. Couldn't have been better.”

About: I have a love and compassion for all animals. it’s as important to me to treat animals with the same dignity, respect, caring, and compassion as any other living thing on this earth. I have had dogs around me all my life. I have been a pet owner my whole life, so much to the point where lost pets found sanctuary at my home until their owns could locate my home.I Have done experience dog fostering for cats and dogs over the last ten years, as well all information can be proven with supportive pictorial evidence and owner testimony. It would be my honor to provide a safe, healthy and happy investment for the pets and absents of there owners presents. If you have anymore questions please reach out to me. Thank you Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I schedule specific times for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other necessary tasks. I prioritize the well-being of the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need. It's all about creating a structured and loving environment for our furry friends! 🐾❤️ My current work full time, I start in the 10pm and I get off at 7am. I don’t have any other obligations.😊 When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a comfortable and safe environment. I provide a cozy space for them to relax, play, and sleep. Regular exercise, feeding, and plenty of water are part of the routine. If there are any specific instructions or preferences, I follow them closely. For clients who prefer pet care in their own home, I make sure to maintain their pets' regular routines. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and any necessary medication administration. I prioritize their comfort and well-being, providing them with the love and attention they need while their owners are away.

About: I am a reliable caregiver for pets, growing up with dogs and now having cats of my own. I know the feeling of leaving my pets alone and want to ensure that you have comfort knowing your own will be taking care of according to your request. During the week, I am happy to let dogs out or take them on a walk after my work hours. I am flexible for house sitting, potty breaks, and walks on the weekends Friday night through Mondays. From the type of feed, to the comfort of my animals, it is my priority to ensure their environment is stress free, yet entertaining. I commit to doing the same for you when servicing your requests.

She picked up Rachel from the airport and let her stay the night, while sending puppy updates. Since Rachel was flying from Fairbanks to Juneau. She was very great to work with, the communication between her getting her and dropping her off was amazing.

This was the first time we had used rover so didn’t really know what to expect but Kaitlin and John were great from the start. We arranged a meet and greet and we could see our dog Frank was happy as soon as he got there so we booked once we got home. They were very accommodating when we asked to move the drop off time due to flight change, and provided pictures and updates each day. Frank enjoyed his time with their family and we would highly recommend.

Lucy is absolutely wonderful! She cares for your pet as her own. When one of our dogs started having urinary problems, she handled everything so compassionately and kept a good eye on our sweet old lady and kept us updated with how she was doing. Thank you, Lucy!

Our pup Greta can be a bit shy, but Ramona kept me updated on her frequently and Greta quickly became comfortable and happy with Ramona’s family! I loved all of the photo and video updates; it gave me such peace of mind while away and our son loved seeing our pup having an adventure of her own! I’d be so happy to have Ramona and her family watch Greta for us again!

Faelyn was awesome! She responded immediately to my short notice request and was available the following day for a meet and greet since we ha had not met at the time and are very particular with anyone we leave our two senior dachshunds with. She took great care of our babies and even sent fun pictures to show how they were doing while we were gone. Would highly recommend her and will definitely take advantage of her services again when and if we go out of town and aren't able to take them with us.

This is our first time on Rover.com, and we were very fortunate to find Chelsea, who was willing to care for Nirobi while we were out of town for a week. We had never left our dog with anyone before, so we were very nervous and reluctant. However, Chelsea communicated with us via text, photos, and videos daily. If there were any concerns, Chelsea did not hesitate to ask to ensure Nirobi was properly cared for. We are so thankful for Chelsea, whom we never met before, and she made us feel so comfortable and at ease knowing that Nirobi was well taken care of. Nirobi was cared for in a very nice, warm, homely environment, not locked up in a cage at a facility with other barking dogs. My family and I highly recommend Chelsea for any pet parents, and we would not hesitate to ask Chelsea for help in the near future. Chelsea, my family, and I thank you for taking such great care of Nirobi.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Eagle River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Eagle River is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $58 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.

As of October 2026, there are 224 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Eagle River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.

95% of sitters in Eagle River can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Eagle River home-away-from-home, packing:

  • Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
  • Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
  • Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Eagle River.

<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your Eagle River sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

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.

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 .

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 AK 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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
