“This was my first time using Rover, and I must say that Lindsey was exceptional. She came to our house a few days before our trip to meet our cat. This showed a lot of care to me. She checked in each day, and provided pictures and a narrative to us about how our cat was doing. She even brought in our packages, which I was grateful for. I would highly recommend Lindsey. She took great, loving care of our cat and gave us a lot of peace of mind! Thanks Lindsey!”

“Ashley was amazing and incredibly professional. She helped us when we waited way too late to board our dogs so she did drop ins when we had to leave our dogs at home. She cared for them and really made them feel less anxious. She did daily updates and when we came home they were all super happy and healthy! Would recommend and will definitely book again!”

About: I enjoy keeping cats and dogs well and at ease while their owners are away. I’ve had many cats and a couple of dogs. I know leash commands and I like walking. I’ll keep you updated about your pets. Other than an 8-day trip in mid July, I’m available for pet care. I can work with your schedule and I’m eager to meet new clients I'm careful to protect your security while you are away. Your privacy is very important. I will visit your pets to keep them healthy and put them at ease while you are away.

“I cannot recommend Tempest enough for watching my dog, Sam, on such short notice! I had to make a last-minute request, and she was incredibly accommodating and saved the day. My mind was completely at ease the entire time knowing he was in such good hands. She made sure Sam was well-fed, she played with him and gave him sweet pets to keep him happy. She also made sure he was warm and comfortable. Sam was relaxed and joyful when I got home. I would rebook with her in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone!”

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.

“Alejandra was wonderful to my girls. This is the second time she was taken care of Ally and Lucy. She is dependable and loving to the girls. I couldn't ask for someone better to look after them while we were out of town. Pictures were great and she made it easy to go on vacation and not worry about our fur babies while enjoying time with my human children lol. Would highly recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hi, my name is Dani. I live in Anchorage but am open to travel. I have had dogs and cats throughout my entire life. I have had birds and lizards and am very adept in what your pets needs. Fun side note, I've done ranch work and know horse and livestock care so if you're in need of that, I got you. I have my own transportation. I understand the importance of your pets health and pets need extra love and care when their owners are gone. A few years ago when I left on a trip I had a medical emergency with my dog who fell into depression when I was gone. I want to provide the very best care I can to every animal I come across. I work part time currently so I am available a lot and can schedule around your pet and it's needs. I understand pets missing their owners. I miss mine when i'm away for a few hours. I have 2 large dogs. I'm very big on training and maintaining their energy and attitude. I go on walks pretty often with my dogs as i'm a pretty active person.

About: I am mostly experienced with cats, but I have been around dogs for years in care or for fun. Never had direct ownership of a dog. Willing to try it out! I am more than happy to watch over a pet overnight or during the day, including pet care, watering and feedings. I am also capable of walks. In my own personal care, I have raised or adopted several cats including doctors appointments, cleaning, etc. Of other clients pets I have taken care of more or less the same, all satisfied in their pets care.

About: I have a love and compassion for all animals. it’s as important to me to treat animals with the same dignity, respect, caring, and compassion as any other living thing on this earth. I have had dogs around me all my life. I have been a pet owner my whole life, so much to the point where lost pets found sanctuary at my home until their owns could locate my home.I Have done experience dog fostering for cats and dogs over the last ten years, as well all information can be proven with supportive pictorial evidence and owner testimony. It would be my honor to provide a safe, healthy and happy investment for the pets and absents of there owners presents. If you have anymore questions please reach out to me. Thank you Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. I schedule specific times for feeding, walks, playtime, and any other necessary tasks. I prioritize the well-being of the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need. It's all about creating a structured and loving environment for our furry friends! 🐾❤️ My current work full time, I start in the 10pm and I get off at 7am. I don’t have any other obligations.😊 When caring for pets in my home, I ensure a comfortable and safe environment. I provide a cozy space for them to relax, play, and sleep. Regular exercise, feeding, and plenty of water are part of the routine. If there are any specific instructions or preferences, I follow them closely. For clients who prefer pet care in their own home, I make sure to maintain their pets' regular routines. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and any necessary medication administration. I prioritize their comfort and well-being, providing them with the love and attention they need while their owners are away.

About: I offer in-home boarding with a fully fenced yard and a flexible schedule for consistent walks and attention. I foster dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and helping them settle in. I’m active and outside often, but I also keep things calm and structured depending on what your dog needs. Clear communication, regular updates, and a safe, steady environment. I offer dog walking Monday through Friday with a flexible daytime schedule that allows for consistent, unrushed walks. I provide in-home boarding seven days a week, including weekends. Your dog will have access to a fully fenced yard, regular exercise, and a structured but relaxed home environment. If you have specific timing needs during the week, feel free to reach out — I’m happy to coordinate when possible. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time and always supervise dogs while they’re outside. Indoors, I keep a clean, organized environment and remove any items that could be chewed or ingested. Because I foster, I’m used to gradual introductions, monitoring behavior, and helping dogs settle in safely. I maintain consistent routines, separate dogs when needed, and never leave unfamiliar dogs unattended together. I also follow owner instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, and crate use. Clear communication and proactive supervision are important to me.

“Izzy did a great job taking care of our dog. He's took to her as soon as she walked in the door on her screening meeting. He's 15 years old and has never allowed anyone to take him on a walk besides family, but he went with Izzy. We've already booked her for another trip we have next month.”

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!

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Eagle River

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Eagle River is $24 per visit as of November 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 November 2026, there are 542 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Eagle River. On Rover:

  • 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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 Meet & Greet.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
