“I cannot say enough nice things about Amy. She always takes such great care of my pup. He comes home exhausted from all the playing and activities. She goes out of her way to do the silly things I like to do for my dog. Highly recommended!”
“Maria was awesome! She took great care of our 140 lb lab. She kept us updated on how he was adjusting and sent pictures. She made sure he was comfortable and at ease. We look forward to working with Maria again.”
“Davis and Emma were wonderful! They have a great home for dogs with lots of space and I was so happy to see how comfortable my pups were there. I'm so grateful that Davis and Emma could look after my dogs while one of them was sick. I highly recommend Davis and Emma; my pups certainly will be back.”
“Won’t take Juno anywhere else. Patricia and Patrick are simply the best! They take care of her as if she is their own and she’s always so excited anytime we drop her off.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Bryan. It was obvious from our first. Meet and greet -they are animal lovers and I felt like I was leaving my dog with a trusted friend/family member. I received updates while we were away. I would highly recommend Bryan to anyone.”
“Jessica was WONDERFUL with my dog. Even though I had a timing issue come up with my pickup due to travel, we easily worked through it and she was so understanding and kind about it. And my little Pie just loved her and her family. Pie loved the fenced yard to run and play in.”
“Sue and Craig were wonderful caregivers for Freddie. They were great at reading his cues and providing calm supportive care. They also sent periodic updates with photos just to let us know Freddie was doing in his first visit. We could tell how comfy he was from the photos! Freddie and we can hardly wait for his next visit…home away from home!!”
“Maureen was so accommodating with our last minute search for care for our 9 month old puppy. Being our first time leaving Addie overnight, we were somewhat apprehensive. However, Maureen put our mind at ease with listening to our needs and requests, her reassurance, and in providing the care we wanted our puppy to have. The texts throughout the day and pictures of Addie reassured us we made the right decision in choosing Maureen. We will definitely contact her in the future when the need arises.”
“Nicole is an awesome sitter! We have two dogs that are often scared of other dogs. Nicole and family always had people around looking after and cuddling with our two guys. And her pets were great with our dogs! Nicole sent daily pics of our pups enjoying laps and sofas. I would most certainly take my dogs back to Nicole and family in the future!”
“Cassie was great. Definitely will have to use her service again in the future. She is flexible and responsive, has plenty of toys for cats, and always kept us up to date. Thank you”
“Erin & Ramon were great! My senior dog had a ball with them I appreciated her asking if he played well with other dogs before accepting another dog booking while watching mine. I would definitely book them again in the future.”
“Derek and his family take such good care of our dogs, we have booked with him several times now. When we drop them off and they go inside his house they don't even look back at us lol. This time we booked last minute and over the 4th of July holiday weekend so it was a double whammy. We were so relieved to find out Derek was available! Thanks to Derek and his family we know our dogs have a home away from home 😊 Thanks again Derek! We'll be booking again soon.”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with dogs gave me a deep understanding of the unique bond between pets and their families. As an adult, I spent six wonderful years caring for my own Standard Poodle, which taught me the nuances of high-energy breeds, regular grooming needs, and the importance of daily mental stimulation. What sets me apart is the same dedication I bring to my role as a leader and a parent. I approach pet care with patience, reliability, and a keen eye for detail. Whether it’s maintaining a consistent routine, ensuring safety, or simply providing extra cuddles, I treat every dog in my care with the same love and attention I would give my own. You can trust that your furry family member is in capable, caring hands. I work from home 3 out of 5 days. I don't live far from my office, so on the days I work in the office, I can come home for walks. When hosting pets in my home, my top priority is creating a safe, welcoming, and calm environment. I believe that a dog’s comfort comes from consistency and genuine care, which is why I prioritize maintaining your pet's established routines regarding feeding, exercise, and rest. My home is perfectly set up for active and happy dogs. We have a decent-sized, secure yard for quick outdoor play, and we are located in a highly walkable neighborhood with easy access to local parks and trails, perfect for daily sniff-and-stretch walks. What makes my home unique is that your pet will be part of our family. My 4-year-old child is a huge animal lover who enjoys helping with gentle care, like supervised playtime and giving treats. Because my child is so involved, I am very intentional about ensuring that every dog I host is comfortable around children and that interactions are always calm, supervised, and positive. Whether it’s a quiet afternoon of belly rubs or an energetic walk on a nearby trail, I ensure every guest feels right at home. You can rest easy knowing your pet is in a secure, loving environment where they will be treated like one of our own.
“Manami was able to take care of Yoshi for a work day under short notice while my apartment had an inspection. It went very well and it helped us out in a tight spot! Yoshi seems to like her as well! And he takes a bit to warm up to people.”
“Terrie was amazing again!! She takes such good care of our dogs and they just love it there!! Nothing but good things to say about her. So happy we found her!!”
“I felt completely at ease with Lindsay watching my pup, Loki. We did a meet and greet prior to our visit which made me feel more comfortable and ready to leave him for 4 days. During his visit I received updates daily and photos! Very happy with my experience.”
“We had a great experience boarding with Adam! He was great to work with. He sent a picture and let us know she was doing well during her stay. I’d definitely feel comfortable having him look after our dog again.”
“Promise and her pups took really great care of my corgi for a week while I was away for work. I received consistent updates and when I picked up Mooney she seemed happy!”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Coon Rapids is $45

Davis did a fantastic job with Lou! They went on daily walks, played frisbee and fetch, and let her snuggle on the furniture making sure she felt right at home. He also helped with some last minute medication. Our dog is a people pup so it was great for her to have so much solo human attention. Highly recommend Davis and Emma!
Jessica was amazing with Frankie while I was in Italy! She took such great care of her and gave me so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Frankie felt comfortable and loved in her care, and I really appreciated all the little updates along the way. So grateful to Jessica and would absolutely trust her with Frankie again! She has continued to be my go to care for Frankie when I travel.
Makaila-Mae is wonderful!! She was great with my young puppy and very supportive. She fosters a great environment with the dogs she takes care of, theyre all very happy. She gives daily updates with pictures. She is very responsive with communication and flexible as well! I will be a returning customer.
Our sitters communication was excellent, they went above and beyond by purchasing rugs so our puppy could navigate the wood floors around their home. I would like to thank them for accepting Riley on very short notice! I would recommend this sitter to others anytime. J & B

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Coon Rapids can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Coon Rapids home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Coon Rapids.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Coon Rapids. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Coon Rapids sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
