âJayda was great! She communicates very well, and gave lots of photos/updates which I loved. She also accommodated a rather last minute booking for me, and she was very professional and easy to work with.â

About: Iâve worked with and lived around dogs nearly my whole life. Iâve helped my grandpa with his dog grooming shop over the summers and cared for family dogs including things like walking, training, grooming, and feeding when necessary. I work a part time job that can get quite busy sometimes, but no stress! your pet will always come first to an extra double shift. My schedule comes out weekly, so some things may change from time to time but it is a priority to not let that get in the way of any pet care. I am open on the weekends during the afternoon, easy for drop-ins or quick walks! I have a nice big fenced backyard, perfect for any dog not big on walks or dog parks. I have two dogs, one big, one little. the little is amazing company and goes along with whatever the vibe is. She could be a great buddy for your pup to go on a play date with! The big one may be a bit reactive at first, no aggression just barking and anxiety that usually goes away after a while, but she usually prefers to be alone. Because of this I am looking for jobs other than boarding for the most part. I have a small crate in my car for safe travel with little dogs, so driving around or going out to a specific location for a field trip is an option for puppies and small breeds!
âLindsey was kind and attentive to both Sammy, my Havanese, and myself. Sammy was welcomed into the family accompanying her son, going for a walk, etcâŚâ

âShannon always takes great care of our kitties! She is very attentive to their needs and making sure they feel extra love when we are gone. Thank you Shannon!â

âDorian was fantastic with my three cats, he was easy to communicate with, providing detailed and fun updates (and pictures!) each day, and making sure that they all my pets received appropriate attention. My kitties had a great time and he was so thoughtful with playing with my high energy kitten, and then giving my older guys extra love and treats. I trust him to watch my house and pets any time, and I'm looking forward to working with him in the future, thank you Dorian!â


About: I started by housesitting for my dadâs coworker 10 years ago, I cared for her plants, turtles and snakes. later on I cared for a golden retriever and the 2 cats he lived with. the dog stayed at my place but the cats remained at the owners house. I am getting into running and would love to take your dog with to help motivate myself. Iâm also happy to help check in during daytimes when youâre out. I am very detail oriented so if there is a special routine for your pet I will follow it dutifully. Iâm currently searching for a full time job as a diesel mechanic, but as of right now my days are free. I run in the morning before noon and I spend the rest of the day working on commissions. Needless to say, I am quite flexible for your petsitter needs at the moment. If you have a dog who needs to be around people I am happy to have them in my home during your trips if the dog is well behaved (minimal accidents indoors, knows basic commands). During your work hours I am happy to visit, play and hang out for a few hours and give them at least 2 bathroom breaks during a regular shift. I can be flexible with care as I know every pet is different and I am happy to talk with you and come to a special plan for your pet if you prefer.
âCassidy was very responsive and flexible in caring for our dog. Not many reasonably priced providers in the Eagle River area. I would hire her again in the future.â

âAshley 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!â

About: Iâve grown up around dogs and currently have two corgis of my own, Chimi and Churro, so caring for pups is just part of my everyday life. Theyâre my little adventure buddies, and we love being outside together, going on walks, exploring trails, and soaking up fresh air. Because Iâm used to handling my own energetic dogs daily, Iâm comfortable with all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Whether your dog needs a long walk to burn energy, playtime, or slower, gentle care, Iâm happy to match their pace and routine. My goal is lots of love, exercise, and a very happy dog. Im currently working at a dental office Monday-Thursday 9am-5:30pm. So Iâm available most weekdays if you need a quick walk or drop-ins, if not I'm available Friday-Sunday with whatever pet needs you may have! In your home, Iâm respectful, clean, and treat your space like my own. I make sure pets feel calm and comfortable by keeping their environment familiar and stress-free. Iâm happy to send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. On walks, dogs are always leashed and closely supervised. I carefully follow feeding schedules, routines, and any special instructions to keep things consistent and stress-free.
âBrianne is amazing! She has been so such a great help with my little guy. Always on time and great at communicating. I love getting daily pupdates after her visit.â

âSarah was awesome! She came by for a couple drop-in visits to check on/feed my cat Clover while I was out of town this past weekend and she did a great job. Sarah was flexible and available on pretty short notice, which was very helpful as Iâd forgotten to book further in advance and didnât remember until around the middle of last week. Iâd also forgotten to measure out Cloverâs food for each day before I left (I usually put it in individual bags to make it a just a little easier for sitters), but luckily Sarah was able to figure out the right portions anyway based on what Iâd mentioned when going over everything. And finally I could tell from the photos and notes that Clover had a great time with Sarah and definitely appreciated all the pets/play/attention she got from her :)â

About: Loved every animal imaginable since I can remember! Owned everything from horses to rats, bred mini poodles for years and current Nana to 10 grandpups and slave to 2 adorable yorkies. Pets are my babies, spoiled rotten and treated better than my kids...lol I am 2 months retired from the federal government and have all the time in the world to spoil your sweet love of your life. My day and world revolves around my, and your, pet(s). Love them like my own but follow your rules. Can provide training, if requested, but am not a certified trainer.
About: I am experienced with senior pets and medication administration, including insulin. I provide patient, attentive care with a strong focus on safety, comfort, and trust. As a functional, holistic practitioner, I deeply understand the impact that movement, purpose, and genuine joy have on overall well-being. After the passing of my sweet boy, I knew it was essential for me to continue pursuing those elements in my own life, and what could be more healing than spending part of my days with dogs? From as far back as I can remember, animals have been a light in my life. What I love most about them is their innocence, there are few things in this world that carry the same purity they do. Time spent with animals feels light and genuinely medicinal. That connection became especially profound for me in 2021, when I rescued my âsoulâ dog, a mangled senior left to roam the streets. Loving him taught me more about life, presence, and what truly matters than any other experience ever could. Though sadly he passed in 2025, the time we shared, while short, felt like an entire lifetime. As a functional, holistic practitioner, I deeply understand the impact that movement, purpose, and genuine joy have on overall well-being. After the passing of my sweet boy, I knew it was essential for me to continue pursuing those elements in my own life, and what better way than spending part of my days with dogs? I approach every walk and visit with safety, patience, and presence as my top priorities. I move at your dogâs pace, build trust gently, and stay fully attentive to their needs. My goal is calm, reliable care that helps your dog feel secure, loved, and supported every step of the way.
âWarren 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!â

About: I truly focus on keeping pets comfortable by caring for them right in their own home, where they feel safest and most relaxed. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so I can give your pets plenty of attention and stick closely to their routines. Iâm patient, confident, and experienced with a variety of temperamentsâfrom playful puppies to shy or anxious dogs. My own dog is well-behaved, which has helped me learn how to reinforce good manners and calmly handle different situations. I treat every pet like theyâre my own and pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and fully committed to giving your pets the best possible care. Because I work part-time, I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to focus on your pets throughout the day. Iâm available most afternoons and evenings during the week, along with full availability on weekends for boarding or drop-ins. Your petâs routine will always be my priority. I have one well-behaved dog at home, but most of the care I provide will be in your home so your pets can stay in their familiar environment. I always follow your instructions for feeding, routines, and house rules, and I take the time to make sure each pet feels safe and relaxed. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family.
About: I am comfortable with and love all age and ability dogs! I grew up with dogs my whole life, and I can give your dog any special care or attention he/she needs. I work from home most days of the week, and if I have to go into the office, my partner, Ben, works from home fulltime. We have a fenced in backyard for the dogs to romp around in, and I can take them for a walk around the neighborhood or out on the trails any time. I go for runs, if your dog is very energetic and is used to that, too! Anything you need, just let me know and I am here to treat your dog like they are my own. Our 2-year-old husky mix, Nali, passed recently due to a severe kidney disease, so, having a dog around is always a joy. I work from home three days a week, and on days I do go into the office, my partner works from home fulltime. I don't work on weekends, and always love to try and get outside. We have plenty of space for your dog's kennel, their bed, their toys, etc.! We have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run around, and a great neighborhood for walks. We also love to go out on the trails!
About: I was raised around dogs and cats my whole life and raised my very first best friend (a dachshund puppy) at the age of 12. Ever since then, I have dog and cat sit for neighbors, friends, family, and any one needing a trustworthy, reliable pet sitter. I recently even had a foster fail with a 2 week old bottle fed kitten, which has made me fall in love with cats even more! I have worked and volunteered at many Humane Societies throughout the last 10 years and gained extensive experience with dog and cat care for all shapes, sizes, and ages. I am comfortable with cleaning any kennels, bowls, litter boxes, and any messes your pet may make while you are away. I can give any medication(s) needed throughout the day to any age of pet. Due to working at Humane Societies and spending much time hiking outdoors, I am also physically able to walk or run as much (or as little) as your high or low energy dog or cat may need. I am now an EMT in an Emergency Room and would bring this job experience into taking every safety measure and precaution into account while watching your pet. I am able to bring this experience to create a safe and comfortable environment for each pet I am around. I work M-F 9-5, so I can fit in a lot of time to watch your loved one! I can stop in multiple times and take them on much loved walkies, or just socialize them however many days a week you need! During the days I am working, I have ample time in the mornings before work and evenings after to watch your pet. Creating a safe and calm environment for every fur baby is extremely important to me. Your pet is already stressed without having you there, so I will take every bit of precaution when watching your pet. Each pet owner has their own way of creating a safe space for their pet, and I will mirror everything that is done for a peace of mind for you and your pet!
âKayla was an excellent caretaker for our dog. She did drop-in visits because our dog is happiest at home. Kayla came just as we agreed and always took care of our dog, and played with him. She updated us with photos and was available to speak about any questions we had. We also had an unexpected delay in getting home and Kayla was gracious to extend our booking and continue looking after our dog for an extra day. I highly recommend her!â

Eagle River pet parents share their Rover experiences
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 Iâve had so far.

We had such a great experience with our pet sitter, Lucy! She took amazing care of our kitties, Dumbo and Lizzie, while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Lucy was attentive, reliable, and clearly cared about making sure our pets felt comfortable and loved. We came home to two happy animals and everything in perfect order. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!
