“She did an amazing job taking care of my 3 crazy animals for 2 weeks while I was gone. She gave me updates at least once a day and always let me know if something was wrong. Nothing major happened just things like my puppy doing stuff he's not supposed to, nothing that wouldn't of happened if I was here. A few things that needed done around the house came up while I was gone and she did an amazing job getting everything done. I highly recommend her and will be using her services again in the future.”
“Kim was perfect! Very engaged with our one year old puppy and attentive to his needs. She was respectful of our space and highly communicative. Cannot recommend her enough!”
“Bradley took great care of our two dogs and house. He’s a great communicator and quick to respond. He also saved us by staying another night due to unexpected travel delays. The dogs had a lot of fun with him. Would highly recommend!”
“This is a late review, but finally getting around to it. Ami is a great dog sitter! She spends lots of time with my dog and shares photos and videos regularly. I'm fairly certain she fell in love with Bauer (it happens), and will likely fall in love with your pet too.”
“Freya was great with my two pups! She is excellent at communicating and providing updates. Our dogs were well taken care of and I didn’t have to worry once when being away. Will be booking again!”
“A+ Emma was excellent. We needed an in-home dog sitter to look after our puppy for a week and she did an incredible job looking after our puppy and home. She was communicative and flexible with the handful of requests we threw her way. 100% will book her again!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs/ animals since I was a kid. I have a 2 yo daughter that loves dogs/awoos she some times enjoys a walk. I’m available same day. Self employed massage therapist that has free time to help others. I have an Alaskan/ Siberian husky (Stripes) we love hikes, snow, running, water, and treat training sessions. I treat everything with love and respect. Especially someone else’s space, I do love to think I leave a presence and I hope it’s of respect and care.
“Kieu did a great job! Communication with any issues that came up, all the animals were cared according to the directions we had given and the house looked great when we got back home. She was fabulous and I would ask her to come again!”
“Tessa is a fantastic house/dog sitter. She communicates very well and kept us updated. The dogs were happy and relaxed when we came home. She took excellent care of both dogs and our home. She left everything spotless and took great care of our plants. Our dogs are getting older and have their quirks but Tessa won them over quickly. We would absolutely hire Tessa again.”
“Trinity was amazing! She took care of our dog, car and fish! Our dog received all the attention she needed including daily walks. We came home to a very clean house and happy animals. The text updates she provided were perfect! We will be using Trinity again!”
“Elizabeth did an incredible job with our dog! She is very hands-on and playful with him. She sent us photos every day while we were on our vacation and is an outstanding communicator. She texted us daily and if we messaged her she messaged back right away. She kept the house spotless and even made us a homemade treat when we got home. She is the best!! We will 100% book with her again.”
“Jazmine did great with my two dogs! I was in an area with spotty cell service all week and felt very comforted knowing Jazmine was caring for my dogs! She even had little report cards for them when I returned. It was so sweet!”
About: I've had dogs since I was born on and off for the past twenty six years. I have fallen in love with all of fur babies. Im very attentive and mindful of dog behaviors. And we'll adapt to the situation when needed. I am on a sabbatical and am looking for some adventure. With a passion for animals this is my perfect avenue to find that adventure. I have no problem traveling between clients, and adjusting the preferences, depending on the fur baby. I am a loving and warm spirit and doesn't mind taking time to get to now the fur baby before anything proceeds.
“Aspen is very kind with a gentle demeanor. She came over to meet us and our 2 dog babies a week or so before we needed a sitter. She was calm and warm. She dog sat in our home for a little over a week and we got photos and messages during the trip updating us on how the dogs were doing. She was quick to reply when we would check in as well. She left our dogs happy and our home clean. Aspen is fairly new to Rover but I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Aspen for a great job.”
“This was our first time using the Rover app.. Amanda was amazing with our boys! She sent lots of pictures while we were away! She treated our home as she would treat hers (so nice coming home to a clean house after hours of traveling). We will absolutely be coming back for her services when we travel again.”
“Ashley went above and beyond for my pups! I am so thankful she cared for them. My older dog is a senior and has health challenges that she managed with such a great attitude! Her communication was great and put me at ease. She also did great with my younger dog who had a lot of energy and needs exercise. I would recommend her to anyone!”

“Sofia was exactly what we needed to find in a house sitter. After having numerous bad experiences with other individuals, it was such a relief to come home and find everything in perfect condition. Our plants, pets, and most importantly our dog, were well cared for. Our house was clean, and we are beyond happy. 10/10 would recommend Sofia, and will be booking her again in the future.”

Jayda was AMAZING! This was the first time I have had house/dog/cat sitter that wasn't my mom. Jayda sent lots of pictures and updates and I was able to truly enjoy my vacation without worry. What a relief! The house was tidy and my pets were happy when I returned. I couldn't have asked for more. Thanks Jayda! Looking forward to having you back in December!
Mikayla was wonderful with my energetic young dog who is still working on impulse control and manners. Having someone who understood my dog’s needs and was calm and patient means so much. In addition she took wonderful care of my home. I highly recommend Mikayla!
Kim is absolutely amazing! She was so patient with our rescue, Edgar, who is literally terrified of new people. She worked hard to get him to trust her, was willing to come and take him for walks leading up to her stay, and spoiled both dogs by letting them snuggle her at night on the guest bed. (Totally allowed by the way!) She also left the house spotless! I would (and have already) book Kim again.
Sage was so good with Gigi! She provided me with updates along the weekend and made sure to send me photos! I could tell my dog was taken really good care of. Sage took her for long walks everyday even in the rain. I cannot recommend her enough and will definitely be using her services again.
Monica was fantastic. Responded promptly and didn’t seem fazed at the oddities my dogs required. Happily took them out rain or shine and made sure I felt great leaving her for the weekend. Wish I could gate keep her but I would happily recommend to a friend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Eagle River is $56 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $30 and $94 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 401 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Eagle River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Eagle River walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Eagle River maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Eagle River choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.
