Allysa did a wonderful job with my girls. She sent me pictures and was great at communicating things. She would reach out with questions. My girls were so happy to be able to stay at home while I went to a family wedding. I would highly recommend her and I will use her again!!!

About: I have always lived with a cat. Every friend I have has either a cat or dog or more. I have had exotic animals as well. From breaded dragons to praying mantis. First thing I do make sure to feed everyone. Moving the cat bowls back down because the dog likes to try to eat them at night. The dog gets walked before she eats. We just bought a walkway to help our aging cats reach the food bowls. We have three separate feeding areas. So that everyone can eat. One of our cats has anxiety. We have gone through various methods until we find the one that works to relax her.

About: I currently have 2 cats of my own that I take care of, and I also have experience with cat-sitting, dog-sitting, dog-walking, and more 🐱🐶❤️ I’m working part-time as a pet sitter right now and I can watch your pets on any day of the week (including weekends) from 3:30pm to midnight, but I am willing to make exceptions if I receive any inquiries for pet-sitting outside of my normal hours :) I mainly care for pets at the homes of my clients, but cats are welcome in my home if they don’t mind the company of my 2 cats :) 1 cat per day, and you have to bring your cat in some type of cage/crate. They will be staying upstairs where my room, litter box, and food/water bowls are located.

My fur babies loved her. She was very knowledgeable, kind, easy to talk to, good energy. Understood and was reassuring of my nervous issues leaving my kiddos at home for the first time in 6 years. Definitely recommend and will be happy to have her house sit or anything with our babies again. Thanks Aphra.

Grace did an amazing job watching our 2 dogs! They both warmed up to her right away and seemed to love spending time with her. Grace took great care of our house as well. She sent us daily pictures and videos of them and communicated with us often. We would highly recommend Grace to anyone who needs help with their pets!

Cokato, MN, 55321

About: Hi there! I’m Kelsey — a Certified Veterinary Technician, full-time animal lover, and proud cat mom of six. My husband Rick and I live in Cokato, Minnesota, where our home is happily ruled by a crew of whiskers, purrs, and wildly different personalities. We share our lives with six cats, each with their own quirks and needs — from the confidently social to the quietly anxious, from the senior who needs meds to the youngster with endless curiosity. Living with such a diverse feline family has shaped the way I approach every pet I meet: with patience, kindness, flexibility, and a genuine desire to understand who they are as individuals. As a Certified Veterinary Technician, I bring several years of hands-on clinical experience with dogs, cats, and pets who need extra medical support. I’m very comfortable giving medications, supporting chronic illness care, monitoring behavior changes, and handling pets who may be shy, nervous, or slow to trust. Special-needs pets hold a big piece of my heart — I know how important experienced, gentle care can be. I’m also building my confidence with exotics and pocket pets, and I’m always excited to learn about new species, routines, and little personalities. If your pet scurries, hops, slithers, or squeaks, I’m happy to meet them! Because of my own busy furry household, I’m not able to accommodate pets in my home — but I am more than happy to stay in your home, where your pets feel safest and most comfortable. Keeping their routine familiar helps them relax, and it lets me give them the kind of attentive, stress-free care they deserve. And you don’t need to be heading out of town to reach out! I’m available for daily walks, drop-ins, and companionship visits anytime your pet needs a little extra attention, exercise, or love throughout the week. Whether it’s a lunchtime walk, a play session to burn off energy, or a comfort check for an anxious pet, I’m here to help their day run smoothly. When I’m with your pet, they get the full package: – Warm, compassionate care from someone who treats them like family – Professional experience that gives you peace of mind – Lots of updates, photos, and notes so you always know how they’re doing – Playtime, snuggles, enrichment, and patience, tailored to their personality My goal is simple: to make your time away easier — and your pet’s time with me joyful, safe, and comfortable. If you’re looking for a sitter who truly understands animals inside and out — medically, emotionally, and behaviorally — I’d love to meet you and your furry (or feathery or scaly!) crew. 🐾💛 I currently work part-time at a veterinary clinic, usually around two days a week. The exact days vary from week to week, and I typically receive my schedule the week prior. Because of this, my availability can shift — but I’m always happy to coordinate and work with you to find the best times for visits or extended care. The rest of my week is dedicated to pet sitting, which gives me plenty of flexibility for daily check-ins, longer stays, and multi-visit days. Whether you have a friendly dog, a cozy-at-heart cat, or a unique companion with feathers, scales, or tiny paws, I provide care right in your home where your pet feels safest. Familiar surroundings help reduce stress, and my goal is to keep their routine steady and their world feeling normal — whether I’m popping in for a quick visit or staying through a longer trip. For short pop-ins, I focus on exactly what your pet needs in that moment: walks, meals, medications, litter scooping, enrichment, or just some comforting company to break up their day. For extended stays, I follow their routine closely — feeding, exercise, playtime, quiet time, and any medical care they require. I adjust my approach to each individual personality, from confident and social to shy, nervous, or slow to warm up. No matter the species or temperament, your pet will always receive gentle, attentive care and plenty of updates so you feel connected while you’re away.

About: Hello! My name is Tyler and I've been around animals my entire life. I am very comfortable with dogs and cats, including in my home, as we have a four-year old Frenchie, Odie, and two-year-old Boston Terrier, Marzipan. I am a work-from-home sports journalist who can leave the house, often at specific times, to meet your needs. I also have the flexibility to potentially stay at your home or be there during the day to interact with your animal, as I can work remotely as long as I have internet. I have been helping watch my friends' animals over the last 10-15 years, giving me plenty of experience to help with your animal and give them all the pets they want while I'm there! I am comfortable with doing things like giving medication, putting in a crate, take on walks, etc. Please feel free ot reach out if you have any questions! I am a work from home sports journalist with a very flexible schedule. I do have multiple YouTube shows I do each week where I would need to be in my office, but those are around 11 and 6 on both Mondays and Thursdays. I can do most of my work remotely, so I can sit for you by either hanging out during the day or possibly staying the night. I will treat your dogs like I do my own: with care, compassion, and a lot of love. I am a kind hearted soul myself, and often connect very well with dogs. Whether you need them to be walked, on strict rest, get lots of playtime, etc, I will gladly do that for your pup like I do for my own at home.

About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have always been a natural animal lover — animals tend to love me just as much as I love them. I currently have a few cats and live with my best friend, who has a dog of her own that I help care for regularly (she’s basically mine too!). I also have hands-on experience working with dogs from spending a couple of years at a doggy daycare, where I learned how to care for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m currently a server, and with it being the slow season right now, my availability is very flexible and open for most days and times. I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all routines, feeding schedules, and special instructions so your pet gets consistent care and plenty of attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just snuggles, I make sure your pet feels happy, loved, and well looked-after while you’re away.

Heather was super awesome to have taking care of our Furry Friends while we were on vacation. This is the first time I had someone in our home while we were out of town so it was VERY wierd. But Heather came to our home before our vacation to meet us and our furry friends. She is very personable and we could tell right away what a great connection she has with animals. Our schedule changed a bit for our vaca and Heather was VERY accomodating which was very apreciated!. We got awesome pictures of our furries every day, videos of walks she took our pup on and just great overall communication. If you need a pet sitter, Heather is a GREAT choice! THANK YOU HEATHER!

About: While I am the primary dog-sitter on ROVER, our family of four loves dogs and play dates for our golden-doodle, Leo, born April 2019. We have watched our friends’ & neighbors’ dogs; one of them suggested we give this option a try. I work as a real estate agent with a fairly flexible schedule. I hang most days with our pup and provide lots of snuggles and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I keep dogs on the main floor of our home, which has hardwood floors throughout. We have a large yard and friendly neighborhood for walks.

About: I've taken care of all types of pets from a very young age. Whether it be a tiny chihuahua to a sizeable Bullmastiff, a cat, birds including chickens, reptiles, fish, even small furry friends like rabbits or ferrets. I have adored and been fascinated by animals my whole life and am up for any challenge you throw at me. I've personally trained my dog to follow voiceless hand signal commands and he is also special needs, so caring for a senior or special needs animal is a breeze for me! I've even provided end of life care for my grandmother's cat, which included administering fluids via injection, so don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it. Not to mention that I have experience raising young kittens and squirrels at milk drinking ages! I am available from 7am to 5pm Monday through Friday and overnights on Fridays and Saturdays. I could possibly do extended overnight stays in my own home if your pet is dog, cat, and young child friendly. Whether it be for a walk, potty break, comfort while you're away, socializing and training your puppy basic commands (and maybe a few tricks), or even just taking your furry friend out for a pup cup and to a sniff spot, I'm the gal for you. I will even provide litter or doggy doo doo cleanup for an additional price. Your pet will always be safe and loved in my hands. I am currently in between jobs, and my kiddos go to daycare from 7am-5pm M-F, so I am available to help between those times, or overnights at your house on Fridays and Saturdays. I could be purr-suaded to do extended overnight stays at my house if your feline is cat, dog, and young child friendly. If I am caring in my home, I have 3 cats-all fixed- a special needs male dog who is NOT fixed due to medical reasons, and two kids under the age of 5. If you choose to keep your pet at my home, they need to be able to get along with them or be kept in a separate room. If you have a female dog, they would need to be fixed with proof of spay. My special needs dog has no business procreating! I have a large home and a decent sized yard with a tie-out cable so that your pet can explore my whole backyard safely without fear of taking off. I also have a screened in porch that I often let the cats roam in during the nicer months. I have a Honda CR-V, so I can keep decently large dogs in the car as well for transport or in case of emergency. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will cuddle, play, exercise, and feed & water them to their hearts content. I will ask however for an extra fee to pick up any dog poo or clean litter boxes.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cokato

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Cokato on Rover is $35.52 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 418 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cokato. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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 Cokato 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 Cokato 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 Cokato 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 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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

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

  • 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 100% 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.
