“We are so happy to have found this family to take care of our fur babies! We received updates while we were gone and knew our boys were in good hands. I’m sure they really loved being around the 4 kids and in a home versus being in a kennel somewhere. Thank you!”
“Amanda has been wonderful with Hatcher! He’s stayed several times now and he comes home tuckered out. We love her open communication and frequent photo & video updates while he’s with her. She takes great care of our boy and we appreciate all she does so we can enjoy our time away from him without having to worry if he’s ok. Thank you so much Amanda!”
“Ashley was very kind and professional. She sent pics and videos of my girls running around in the snow. She kept communication going and was very detailed. She followed all our requests and made it a comfortable boarding process and stay! 10/10 would 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.”
“Zhenya is awesome. This was our dogs first stay with her and they loved their time. She is easy to communicate with and responsive. We will definitely book with her again when we need a sitter.”
“Sarah did an amazing job with my Gus. He went to her still in a cone from being neutered and she did an amazing job making sure he was comfortable and happy, and I appreciated her daily updates.”
“Finn's stay with Julie was great. I got multiple daily updates which was awesome since Finn is a puppy and I was worried he might be really stressed. They clearly have a lot of experience with dogs and all their quirks :). They are pretty flexible and offer a pick-up and drop-off option which came in handy this trip. I will definitely use them again. Their HOA only allows 2 dogs, so your dog will be the only one staying there with them and their dog. They are a very nice couple with a great set-up for watching a dog.”
“Trey was amazing, reliable and accommodating! She picked up our pup from the airport, he stayed with her a couple nights and brought him back to the airport for his final ride home! We are so grateful for her knowledge and attention to detail. She also sent us lots of pics/videos to keep us connected/informed.”
“Olga did a great job of taking care of my senior dog. Took her on short daily walks, sent me lots of pictures and updates every day. She definitely has a repeat customer.”
“Lindsey was great! My dog felt right at home with her two pups and was well taken care of. Looking forward to having Lindsey watch her in the future when I need a dog sitter.”
“I really appreciated the care Zazie had while I was away and their flexibility to extend care after flight cancellation. Also, feedback Zazie got along well with other pups also in their care since she’s used to being “only child,” it was reassuring to know she adapted well to novelty; I could tell she adapted well to her first-time away from mom adapting well to a different family-temporary home…Thank you Huw & Jolynne”
“Susan was excellent! She was very communicative and proactive with caring for my Winston. He was in his feels while we were apart, but Susan made sure that he was as comfortable as possible.”
“Lisa and Jay took awesome care of my girl. Looks like the first day or two was a bit rough, but she quickly realized life was continuing as it always had. I really appreciated all the fun pictures during my travels and I was so relieved not having to worry about her. I’m sorry orca ate all of Lily’s food, she may have gained a pound or two as you said?😉 thank you again for taking such amazing care of my little Sheba.”
“It was such a comfort knowing Mowgli was living his best life while I was out of town! He came home and slept most of the day, evidence of days well spent…playing with new doggo friends and getting lots of love! Thanks again!”
“Mia was wonderful to work with! She kept us in the loop about Summit’s stay, sending us quick texts and adorable photos. Our pup came home feeling happy and relaxed, all thanks to Mia! We’re totally recommending her to all our fellow military families looking for a dog boarding service in the area.”
“Maia had a wonderful time and I and I appreciate it very much the photos and videos that showed me how much fun she was having. She came back relaxed so I know she wasn’t stressed out by our departure. I look forward to using Crystal again.”
“They were amazing with Loki. He did great with their family and their other pets. They loved him just as much as we love him if I ever needed another dog sitter I’ll definitely go back to them and I will definitely recommend them to anybody else that needs one.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Eagle River is $48
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Eagle River
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.
My pups have stayed with Amanda a few times now and it has been a wonderful experience every time. When I leave my dogs with Amanda, I know the are going to be well loved and cared for. Amanda is always responsive, sends great pictures, and my dogs always come home happy.
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.
Adrienne is a perfect match for Eppie since they both like to play in the mountains. Also, her new home in Anchorage is convenient for walks, runs, and swims at local parks. Last but not least, she responds quickly to questions and requests and sends much appreciated photos and videos of her adventures with Eppie.

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.
100% 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.
<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 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.
