“He did a phenomenal job. My husky loves to try to run away but was unable to, and the GPS tracker he has just in case made me feel more safe with the dogs in his hands. He took them on walks, played with them, and gave them the company they needed to not be stressed out. He kept me updated and sent pictures of them during the time away. Will definitely be using him again if I need to travel.”
“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!”
“Ralph and Irma were so great with Magic! Magic was instantly comfortable around them. He enjoyed lounging in their backyard and playing with Ralph. Ralph gave me daily updates which reassured me. that Magic was happy while I was away. Thank you so much Ralph and Irma!!”
“Crystal was very communicative and professional and she even clued me in to some behavior about my dog I was not aware of! Definitely a Star Sitter”
“Justin was wonderful at dealing with our very needy Old English Bulldog. He sent pictures and updates over the 2 weeks he had Freya, putting our minds at ease. Our dog enjoyed her stay with Justin so much she didn't want to leave when I went to pick her up! We will definitely use Justin again in the future.”
“Suzanne and her husband took my friend and I’s pups after we scheduled a last minute trip. They were extremely accommodating and communicative! They sent us pictures during the weekend and the pups were well taken care of! Would definitely recommend!”
“Chelsea did a fantastic job sitting for our dogs! She was responsive when we had questions and sent us daily updates with photos demonstrating that the dogs were having a great time at her place. In fact, they seemed kind of bummed when we arrived to pick them up. 😂 We would 100% recommend Chelsea as a sitter to others and book with her again for our dogs.”
About: Hi! I’m Susie. I’ve always been an animal lover and know how much our pets mean to us. For years I’ve cared for my friends’ dogs whenever they traveled, and after realizing how much I enjoy it, I decided to join Rover. At home, I have a dachshund named Nugget and a cat named Cosmo, so caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I live in a single-family home with my son, and we have a fully fenced backyard with a medium-sized doggy door, giving dogs plenty of room to safely play and explore. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home while they’re with us. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and send regular photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home 4 days a week so I am available often. Thursday I go into the office 9-5, so animal would need to handle some alone time (crated/house trained) I follow instructions left by owner and if I need any further instructions I would contact owner. I am pretty laid back and animal would have full access to home and backyard.
“Absolutely fantastic... constant communication... Bailey was obviously happy and completely comfortable... and sadly... probably didn't miss us because of how wonderful Jaymie was... HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER”
“Kassandra was amazing. After our meet and greet I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her and knew he would be in good hands. She was very flexible with our schedule and quickly responded to correspondence. I highly recommended.”
“Cameron did a great job with Yogi! He communicated well and sent pictures with updates. He asked questions about Yogi's needs and what to expect as far as his behaviour. He gave Yogi a few hours to decompress before being introduced to the other dogs in the home. Very professional and mindful...would definitely bring Yogi back and highly recommend Cameron!”
“Brittany was wonderful with our pup! He had a great time and was welcomed into her house like family. She sent great pictures and updates on him. We would absolutely recommend Brittany and plan on having him stay with her in the future.”
“My dog loved staying with Chelsea. Chelsea is very kind and sweet and obviously knows what she is doing. 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.”

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.
Accepted a booking with less than 5 hours notice which was amazing! I didn't even need to give them the litter box or litter I brought, they had a spare. 10/10 would recommend, the pick up and drop off process was insanely easy and my cat wasn't anxious or anything when we got back home which is a great sign because she can be pretty sensitive!
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.

There are 219 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Eagle River. About 87% of Eagle River sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
