“Lindsey is my go to! Her care, love and experience with cats eases my mind when I leave my senior kitty under her care. She gives both cats individualized love and attention with every visit. A true professional and lover of animals!”
“Ashley did a wonderful job taking care of Bella and Bear while we were out of town! She was dependable, attentive, and took great care of them, which gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We came home to two happy, well cared for dogs. We would absolutely trust Ashley with them again and highly recommend her!”
About: Much like Romulus and Remus, I was raised with/by dogs growing up! I absolutely love dogs! Big dogs, lil dogs, fluffy dogs, energetic dogs, old dogs all dogs are great. I am currently without my 5 year old black lab for the next 6 months and want to get pets and walks to make up for the lost time with my pupperonni! My dogs name is Wanda, she is great but a ball of energy (like most labs). I have had her since she was a puppy and she is crate trained, house trained and just a very good girl! She is the light and soul of my life (dont tell my GF) ! I am trying to be healthy and would love to have a dog to walk with when I explore Sumter! I am shift work but will balance my schedule accordingly to walk dogs or let them out when required. I mostly work night shift allowing me to have the flexibility during the day to get out for walks and stay active! I am a 30 year old guy with no kids. My dog is my kid. My daily routine I had with Wanda was to let out every morning and play fetch with her or walk her. I would then bring her inside to calm down, I’d shower and then go back downstairs to feed her since she’s caught her breathe and cooled off by then. After she’s eaten I would let her out potty again and then she is chill for the day until evening time where I would bring her out on another walk or a swim at my cottage at home which I’m dearly missing and then when she has calmed down from that I would feed her dinner. Most nights I try to do 10ish mins of training with her and she loves the treats anyways so it’s very easy. She knows sit, stay (for a long time and a big distance), paw (both), she can spin, she can do a tunnel (go between my legs) and she can spin around me and sit on my left or right side! I will admit she is a lab and very food driven/motivated so training her was relatively easy with the right treats. She is the best and I miss my dog and want to be able to play with other people’s dogs!
“Warren takes the best care of our Alaskan Husky(s)! Our dog Dash and our foster dog Tundra had great visits and we always knew they were in safe hands with Warren. He clearly loves and takes great care of his rover pups!”
“Mia took great care of our labrador retriever puppy. He was tuckered out and ready to nap when he came home! Appreciated her care and attention to his needs.”
“Easy to contact and arrange meet up a few days before leaving; not to recommend last minute booking. Maurina took notes of verbal instructions and asked important questions. She followed through with just as requested. Maurina understands cat needs. She used good judgement, and was a pleasure to meet.”
About: As a longtime dog owner with three dogs of my own, I have hands-on experience caring for different personalities, energy levels, and daily routines. I also care for a diabetic senior dog, so I understand how important consistency, patience, close observation, and dependable care are—especially for older pets or those with additional needs. Since retiring from the Air Force, I have a flexible, open schedule that allows me to make pet care a regular part of my day. I’m available throughout the morning, afternoon, and evening for walks and drop-in visits, including many weekends. Because I’m not trying to squeeze visits around a full-time job, I can give your pet my full attention, arrive reliably, and maintain a consistent routine. I also have flexibility for recurring visits and reasonable last-minute requests. For walks and drop-in visits, I will carefully follow your pet’s normal routine and all instructions you provide. I’ll confirm that doors, gates, collars, harnesses, and leashes are secure, and I will never allow a dog off-leash unless we are in a safely enclosed area and you have specifically approved it. During drop-ins, I can provide fresh food and water, bathroom breaks, playtime, companionship, and approved medications according to your instructions.
“Always thankful to have Amanda watch our cats! Love the attention she pays to them and our house and all the pictures and descriptions she shares from her visits! Our favorite pet sitter!”
About: I’ve always grown up in a home where pets were part of the family. Dogs, especially, have been a constant in my life, and I truly believe they’re some of the most loyal and loving companions we could ask for. Over the years, I’ve cared for my own dogs, dog-sat for friends and family, and had the unique experience of caring for working dog teams while living in Alaska. These experiences have taught me that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs—and I love getting to know them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering oral medications, and I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and maintaining your pet’s normal routine while you’re away. My goal is simple: to care for your pets with the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll do everything I can to give you peace of mind while they’re with me. 🐶❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable, attentive care throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets like family and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while they’re in my care. I currently work from home, so I'm available whenever your dog needs or wants to go outside! I don't currently have any dog toys for your pup to play with, but if you would like to bring their own, I would love to play with them! Feel free to bring whatever you think your dog might need throughout their stay.
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.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and within the past 4 years I have gained professional experience from taking veterinary assisting classes and interning at my local vet. I also have a year and a half of experience with handling dogs and understanding their behavior from working at a canine behavioral and pet activity center. I am currently a stay at home parent of a new puppy and have lots of free time to further my knowledge and experience of working with animals while also helping others in need and socializing my dog. I have my own car incase an emergency pops up or a pet needs a ride. When caring for pets in my own home I have a fenced yard and 2 dogs living at home with their own separate space if dogs need to be separated.
“Sarah is great with my high energy dogs! It’s hard for me to find care for them because one of my dogs is scared of strangers, but Sarah made her feel comfortable and relaxed. Very thankful and looking forward to future appointments!”
“Bobby was attentive and wonderful! We appreciated getting pictures of our cats and she sent regular updates. She was also flexible as our plans evolved due to flight issues.”

About: I have taken a vet assistance class and know how to tell if a pet needs help or not. I am good at connecting with animals aswell I love going out and going on adventures, and it would be good opportunities to take the pet out aswell to get fresh air and exercise. I make sure they have their bowls full with water and food, i take them out multiple times and walk around to a dog park near my house.
About: I’m am all about the needs of your pets. I have watched dogs that need walks three times a day to once a day. I had a cat that needed an inhaler and steroid medications daily. I’m here to help you have a stress free trip knowing your baby is being taken care like you would. I send picture every other day for updates whiles gone. I clean, willing to help clean poop or not. I was dog sitting when we had the earthquake and was able to keep my customers dog calm until she returned home from her trip. I’m here to make you and your pets comfortable. I don’t smoke or drink so you won’t need to worry about anything around your precious little guy. I have references you can call just ask! I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies!
“Meghan watched our two cats for a week and I could not recommend her enough! She took the time to write cute, witty updates and took plenty of photos (per my request). She was wonderful working with my extremely shy cat and had him running up to greet her when most sitters never see him the whole time. Meghan is reliable, friendly and went above and beyond gaining our cat‘s trust. I’m so happy I found someone who made traveling a little less stressful!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Eagle River
We absolutely love Kim's kindness to our dogs! Our Malinois adapted quickly with her! We always been hesitant about anyone watching him but family. Tatanka usually shows quickly if he's not happy. He was full of wags and vocal to meet her. Hoonah is just a happy to see her too. We will be using Kim again! Thank you for the pictures and updates! Kim even told us if needed to extend our time due to traffic on the highway just let her know!
Logan is absolutely wonderful. She did a fantastic job with our pack! Leaving our dogs with Logan and knowing they would be well cared for allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying if the dogs were OK. Logan is professional, showed up during the time frame she said she would and communicated with me by text and photos after each visit. Logan is highly recommended!
Cassidy was amazing! Great with communicating and took amazing care of my pets and my house while I was out of town. I will definitely use her again in the future if she is available and I highly recommend her to others. Hands down the best pet sitter I’ve had so far.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Eagle River is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $46 per visit. 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 551 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Eagle River. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
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.
