“Kevin was really great with my trio of Dogs: medium, small and smaller. He gave meds and did all the things they like to do. He was very flexible with me in the flurry of getting out of town. I recommend him highly!”
“Dafflyn is the best. She is very detailed, asks great questions, follows directions and CARES! She stayed in our home for a week with our dog, even watered the garden and put out the trash for pick up. She’s a great communicator, sharing photos and videos daily. We came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Thank you Dafflyn!”
“Amber was an excellent caregiver to our pups. She was extremely detailed with her updates and followed through on our many to-do’s (as one of our dogs is on several medications). She is very trustworthy and competent. I felt very comfortable with her staying in our home - plus she was flexible during an unexpected power outage. Definitely would recommend!”
About: I have worked with dogs for about 3 years! Training, boarding and daycare settings! Growing up I also dog sat for friends, family and others!! I currently work part time at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I am home 50% of the day, mostly mornings! I am in the National Guard so occasionally I will not be available for the weekend! I currently live with my family, my dog and my sisters dog! My sisters dog can be reactive with other dogs so it would be better for me to stay in your home for overnight boarding or drop in visits!
“Jenelle did a great job taking care of our 4 dogs and 1 cat! She was very responsive and easy to work with. She sent daily photos and let me know how they were doing. She even watered my outdoor plants for me. We will definitely ask her again when we need a sitter!”
“I was totally at ease knowing Heather was staying with my dog who has special health needs, and the updates I received during my trip were reassuring. When I got home and saw how well my dog was doing I was more than appreciative that Heather was here for her!”
“Our cats were very well taken care of. Samantha provided daily feedback and pictures. She even got the picky one to eat and sit with her. Would happily have her pet sit for us again.”
“Katie and Boyd did a wonderful job with our sweet Lucy. We were extremely nervous to use Rover for the first time, and they eased our minds. Katie and Boyd came to met Lucy prior to our trip away and asked for specific details on how to best take care of our pup. We highly recommend these two and will use them again in the future.”
“Lena was absolutely amazing. I’ve used this service many times and I think she’s the best I’ve ever had. The definition of going above and beyond. 100% will use her again anytime I need dog sitting for one or both of my dogs.”
About: I currently work full time nights at a hospital and I am also previously worked in emergency vet medicine for 4 years. I have always loved animals big and small. I hope to get to care for yours soon! I am here to care for your pets in the exact same way you do while you are away. You just let me know how you would like me to care for them and I will do just that. I have stayed over nights with a Labradors, beagles, golden retriever, Pomeranian, cats, Australian shepherd etc. and we had a blast. I can also give baths as needed or medication if they are on daily pills/oral liquid/shots anything. I hope you will consider me and I hope to help you out soon!!! I do work full time however I work nights so I am home during the day taking care of my own golden. So I am happy to assist you and take care or check in on your baby/babies! I treat your house like my own. I cleaned houses growing up and I always treated others houses with respect and care. If I move/use something I put it back etc.
About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each animal like family and take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I work part time, and my kids are all over 18, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need. I enjoy having animals as part of my day and am happy to work with each pet’s individual routine, whether that means morning visits, afternoon check-ins, or evening care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Autumn is such an amazing dog sitter, I wish I could give her a 10 star rating! She takes such good care of our 2 dogs, so much exercise and love while we are gone. She’s a gift to doggy parents!”
About: I have had pets since I can remember, not just dogs, but lots of animals. I have a special heart for any type of animals. I have trained puppies and had multiple types of dogs. I also have two dogs of my own! I work from home and can work whenever I please, I got very lucky! I can work around your schedule and needs! Im always readily available and can accommodate when you need! Your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities! I provide a loving, safe, and welcoming environment where your pets can feel right at home. I make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care throughout the day. I follow their usual routines, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide.
About: In my 33 years of life I have always had a pet. Whether they were pets I grew up with or pets that I've owned personally. I take the responsibility seriously and genuinely believe animals are the greatest gift from nature. For the first time in my life I don't have a pet that I'm currently caring for and would love to offer my home as a safe and loving place for anyone that needs a dog sitter. I'm most familiar with large or extra large breeds but love them all equally. I currently work full time 730 to 4 pm but have the ability to stop home during the day. I'm a home body that enjoys taking walks and resting on the couch watching a documentary. I'm a very routine by the book type A personality so making sure they are fed and exercised is something that would bring me great fulfillment. I'm also an extremely affectionate person and would not mind cuddles eith your pup if they want it. I have a fenced dog park with a lock so that is where potty breaks will be taken. I can also run them by throwing a ball or stick or we can go on walks along the rum river as I live in downtown Anoka.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Repeat customer and another fantastic experience! Booked for house sitting for my two dogs, Apache and Foxy, and everything went perfectly. She sent updates, took wonderful care of both dogs, and left the home just as i left it. Came home to two happy, well-cared-for pups. Would absolutely book with her again!”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Anoka is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anoka
Camryn was an absolute angel with our two dogs, Molly and Libby. She treated them to pup cups, took them for walks and played outside with them. when Molly jumped into our pond she gave her a bath. The next day when they were outside they both went into the pond, they are both water dogs, so she gave two baths and cleaned ears. Above our expectation. This is the first time we have left our dog with anyone, we will definitely use Camryn again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Anoka is $47 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $61 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.

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 Anoka 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 Anoka 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 Anoka 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 Rover Guarantee, 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 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.

- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
