“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.”
“We had a great experience with our Kiara! Our dog is shy and can take a little time to warm up to new people, so finding someone patient and understanding was really important to us. They were kind, gentle, and respectful of our dog’s comfort level, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated the care and attention they provided and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter, especially for a timid pup!”
“Lindsey took excellent care of Nellie. Our pup is an only child but got along with the two resident dogs and Lindsey was extra thoughtful of her comfort and gave lots of treats as needed. Lots of photos and great communication. Highly recommend!”
“Jessica was kind and welcoming for my nervous doggo! She took great care of him and helped him settle in quickly. She also sent me sweet pics of him every day. Will definitely be returning to Jessica for future pet sitting needs.”
“Julie took great care of Potato while we were out of town for three days. She sent daily updates, lots of great photos, and a video. She was immediately responsive to messages, and flexible when we had to change the start time. Would definitely have her watch Potato again!”
“Huw and Jolynne took wonderful care of my two dogs while I was out of town. It was clear that they love dogs and want to make them feel at home. They were super responsive and provided updates throughout the week. Would highly recommend them to take care of your fur babies.”
“Danielle did a fantastic job with my lab. He had injuries his leg right before our trip. Danielle went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and didn’t injury any thing else. Country be more pleased.”
“Cronos, our dog had a wonderful time. He came back to us tired and such a happy boy. Chad was very flexible on the timing of picking him up! He sent us many pictures throughout and was quick to respond to texts. He made sure to go above and beyond with the special needs and details I sent with our dog. We appreciate all that Chad did and will be %100 bringing our dog back when we go on another trip.”
“Zec took great care of our two dogs! He’s very communicative, initiated a meet and greet before the stay to make sure our dogs got along, and sent consistent updates. His dog is a gentle giant and was so patient with our one dog (who has crazy cattle dog energy and doesn’t get along with every dog). They came home tired, happy, and healthy. He even shared some of his homemade salmon dog treats with my pups. Would recommend if you need a reliable sitter.”
“Ralph accommodated my crazy work travel schedule, sent lots of updates, and most importantly took excellent care of my pup Rocky. I so appreciate his attention and care of my dog. Thank you Ralph!”
“Prospect was in great company and thoroughly enjoyed his time with Aiko and her family :) Great communicators, flexible with my changing pickup & dropoff times, and my boy was returned to me safe & happy. Would recommend to anyone!”
“Justin was an amazing match for our pup and took wonderful care of him. We greatly appreciated his flexibility, responsiveness, and the updates he shared while we were away. We would absolutely recommend booking with him and hope to use his services again in the future. It gave us real peace of mind knowing our pup was so well cared for.”
“Crystal was very responsive and accommodated our last minute request to care for Lucy after our initial plans fell through. She sent lots of pictures and updates and I was so relieved to see Lucy being happy and well-cared for. Would absolutely book again.”

“Erica picked up Kylo for boarding overnight when I went out of town and even took him on some walks with other pups. All of his needs were taken care of and I didn’t have to worry.”
“Kayla is amazing! She took such good care of my boy and you can tell she treated him just like a member of her family. I am so grateful for all she did for me while I was away from my dog, and I know he can’t wait to go back next time I have to go out of town. Thank you, Kayla!”
About: I am a substitute teacher (gone 7:15am-2:45pm Monday-Friday) living on Hillside with my military hubby and two puppers, Oscar and Juniper. Oscar is a 11yr old, 55lb mutt (lab/border collie) and is a thriving, darling gentleman. Juniper is 2yrs old, a Goose Bay special rescue/mutt (55ish lbs as well but taller and lankier than Oscar). They are very well behaved and love company. Our big fenced in backyard allows for oodles of fresh air and freedom to run! They run off leash during hikes and walks, and we would prefer our guest puppers to be able to do so as well. We provide a structured, loving, healthy environment. Your pup, is our pup-part of the family, held to the same basic standards and spoiled with attention, belly and ear scratches, and couch cuddles. Breakfast and potty is usually 6:30/7am, and another potty run 7:30am by Paul (my hubby) before he goes to work. I am usually home at 2:45pm and let them out in the backyard. During the winter, I then head off for a 5km walk on the trails so we can wrap up by dark. If temperatures, weather, or errands alter that, we have reflective/glow collars and walk around our quiet neighbourhood. Supper is 5pm. Pups go in/out as needed (we have a bell on the door they jingle). We typically go to bed 10-11pm, and do a tactical potty run at that time. Walking: Walks are typically 5+km, on trails, off leash preferred since my dogs roam free. I drive a wilderness Subaru Outback so lots of trunk space for 3 med/large dogs or I can drop the seat backs as needed if I need to swing by for your pooch. I do not tolerate unsafe/bad/aggressive behaviour. I follow your directions as I trust you to know what your pet needs and take that seriously. For stays at my place, I have a large house with covered couches, 4 massive dog beds, fenced in backyard, large communal water bowl, two easygoing, friendly puppers, toys galore.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Eagle River is $50
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Eagle River
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.

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.
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, we recommend 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.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Eagle River. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
