Dog Sitting Coon Rapids

“It’s quite clear how amazing Christy was with my very spoiled cat. This was my first time using Rover and it was a wonderful experience and I could feel good knowing my baby got lots of playtime and love. Greatly appreciated the daily notes and pictures, I could tell my cat was much calmer and happier then other times I’ve traveled.”

About: Pets are my life, I grew up with cats, dogs and even reptiles. I’ve been taking care of all types and sizes of pets my whole life they are my passion & love. I’m currently a stay-at-home pet mom so my schedule is widely available, I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your dogs and cats. I have years of hands-on experience caring for animals in various settings, and I have a helper for group dog walking free of charge.

“Andy is exceptional! Very caring, very intuitive and the pups really like him a lot.”

About: I grew up on a farm with 2 dogs and lots of other animals. Both dogs were part of the family and slept in the house. One always by my bed. I owned a Boxer and a Yorkie as an adult. They were part of the family growing up with my kids. Both dogs have crossed the Rainbow Bridge and my kids are adults living their best lives with their significant others. I have two loving cats. I volunteer with the MN Boxer Rescue picking up and transporting to foster care when it meshes with my schedule. Recently put my name on their list for emergency foster care just to get the dog in need here to Minnesota until a long term foster care provider is available. I enjoy pet sitting for my dog fix and it helps support my horseback riding lessons😊 I work Monday through Friday full time. I am able to work from home one day a week. I have watched both big and small dogs on this schedule and have had no issues. This might not work for all dogs during the week as each one is different. I baby gate my stairs so my cats can run around upstairs and come down to check out your dog if they want. At night your dog can stay downstairs loose if you tell me he/she is ok that way or crated. If he/she needs to be with me in the same room at night that works too, but preferably in a crate as my cats sleep with me. If it is only for a weekend I can put the cats in my spare bedroom at night so your dog would not have to be crated in my room. Every dog is different, so I am flexible. I live across from the Mississippi Gateway Regional park in a townhouse with lots of trails for walking. I am only a 10 minute walk from a dog park. I will take your dog out as often as you let me know he/she needs to go out. Like I said , I work full time during the week, so I might not fit your dogs needs if he/she is not able to hold it while I am gone at work. Weekends I am home.

“My dog, Sunshine and my cat, CutiePie enjoy being with Ping. They are happy to be with her. She is a delight for me as well. She brings a lightness of being into our apartment. She was able to get Sunshine’s boots on for her nice long, extremely cold January walk. My dog and cat greet her at the door. And I can have some alone time out of the apartment to read or knit.”

About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I care for every dog as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and at home. I have experience with a large, active German Shepherd and am comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. While I do have a resident dog, every pet's comfort and safety comes first. My home allows dogs to be separated when needed, and I'm happy to provide individual walks, feeding routines, and personalized attention so every dog has a positive experience. What sets me apart is my communication and attention to detail. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your pet's stay, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and dependable home where your pet is treated like family. I have a hybrid work schedule, which means I work from home several days each week and have flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, and exercise throughout the day. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care and prioritize keeping them on their normal routine as much as possible. Whether it's morning walks, playtime, feeding, or evening cuddles, my goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience so your pet feels right at home. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play and get their energy out. I also have a friendly resident German Shepherd who enjoys other dogs, so guest dogs should be comfortable around larger breeds. That said, your pet's safety and comfort always come first. My home is set up so dogs can be separated if needed, and I always supervise introductions and interactions. I'm happy to provide individual walks, feed according to your dog's normal schedule, administer oral medications if needed, and accommodate crate routines if that's what your dog is used to. I will keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. We have a toddler in our home (who has grown up with our dog and is respectful), so guest dogs should be comfortable around young children. Safety is my top priority, and I carefully supervise all interactions between pets and family members.

About: I’ve always had animals to take care of since I can remember. Both cats and dogs, and even some other small animals/exotic pets. I worked at a boarding facility with daycare, and I have fostered many dogs in the past. I’m an animal science major and have many hours of experience working with animals of all kinds. I have worked with reactive dogs and I’m always up for keeping your routine consistent with any training you might be working on as well! I will be working a summer job along with pet-sitting this summer. I will only be working max 8 hour shifts and will always have time to care for my own pets, along with yours. If you choose me to take care of them. I have an unfenced yard, but I do have a tether that I can attach a dog to. But of course, I can walk them around the yard on a leash, if that works better for the dog! A typical day with my dog looks like: Wake up and immediately feed him and replenish his water, then out for a potty break. We then spend some time relaxing while I get ready for the day. If he wants, we spend some time inside playing with toys. If I need to go to work, he resides in the common areas of the house. He will always get let out before I leave. If we spend a lot of time inside/if I have to work, I’ll get home and we usually go for a walk to get some energy out. We usually do some training and other daily activities either on the walk or after. Then in the evening he eats again, we go out for a potty break. Normally my dog doesn’t have an overabundance of energy, so we spend the rest of the night cuddling on the couch.

About: I've had multiple dogs growing up with me & I've sat and cared for them at every age, old and young pups. I continue to sit for family and friends & am extra attentive and keen on sticking to their schedules and dietary habits. I love leaving them happier and more content than at our first meeting! Pet-friends are the world to me! My weekly routine is very flexible at the moment, since modifying my schedule to a more 'part-time' interval for this period of the year, securing a few days should not be a problem. My focuses are on giving each fur pal enough time to do what they enjoy each day, whether that be dog-park time, enrichment puzzles, walks, naps, etc. Once they've had their designated fun/care time, I make sure that once it's time to wind down that their food/water/potty needs are established so that they can enjoy the rest of our time comfortably while patiently awaiting their humans arrival!

About: Keep your pets out of the cold kennel and remaining in the comfort of their own home! I’ve been caring for other people’s animals since I was nine years old and over time that’s grown into a deep understanding of the bond between pets and their families. I don’t just watch pets, but step in as a calm, reliable presence so they can maintain their routine and sense of security while you’re away. I’m especially attentive to behavior and communication. Whether it’s managing doorbell triggers, easing separation anxiety, or reinforcing good habits, I work with your pet as an individual. My goal is always a smoother, more balanced experience for both you and your animal. I also have experience with pets who require a higher level of care, including those prone to seizures, pets with mobility challenges, and animals with heightened anxiety around storms or fireworks such as my own Australian Shepard. In those moments I prioritize patience and creating a comforting environment. When you book with me, you’re not just getting coverage, you’re getting consistency, daily communication, and peace of mind. I provide thoughtful updates and make sure you always know your pet is safe and cared for. I’ve been on Rover since 2018 and have built long term relationships with clients who trust me not just me with their pets, but as a friend. That level of bonding is something I aim to earn with every new client. My rates reflect the level of care, attention, and reliability I provide while keeping your pet out of the kennel and inside their own spaces. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet with the same attentiveness and respect you do, I’d be happy to connect and learn more about your needs. I take on pet appointments around providing smart home in house support and installation and do my best to accommodate your pet's needs and schedule. At your residence I try to keep your pets on their normal schedule when it comes to diet, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime. My "rental dogs" tend to get more walks with me than they do with their owners as I view it as my own gym time that the dogs also love. During overnight stays I am very respectful of client's homes and have been known to vacuum and do the guest room laundry prior to their return from vacation. I have a Toy Australian Sheppard named Vheissu (pronounced V-Sue) who lives with me half of the time, so if your dog comes over for daycare they may have a playmate.

“Derek was wonderful to work with and took such great care of our elderly dog. He ended up struggling a little with us being away from him and Derek did a wonderful job keeping him happy and comfortable in our absence.”

About: I've taken care of animals since i was young. Dogs, cats, fish, and guinea pigs! I will care for your animals just like my own. I'm currently working part time at a coffee shop, and becoming an incoming freshmen in college, I am very flexible with my times, and whatever works for you! Whatever the animals needs I can do! Feed, walk, crate them if needed or instructed to do. Whatever helps the animal feel loved and cared for.

About: I am currently a student at the University of Minnesota studying Animal Science and Veterinary Care, and I am looking to gain additional hands-on experience working with animals. Since I am unable to have pets where I currently live, I am excited for opportunities to care for and spend time with companion animals through dog walking and pet sitting. I have experience caring for family pets, as well as working with dogs in a doggy daycare setting. My experience includes feeding, walking, basic training, cleaning, and providing overall daily care. I am passionate about animal care and would love the opportunity to work with more companion animals while continuing to build my experience in the veterinary field. I am dependable, patient, and committed to making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I am currently working part-time and taking the summer off from college, which gives me a more flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate additional time to caring for animals. I am hoping to gain more hands-on experience interacting with pets and would love the opportunity to be available and flexible for new clients and their scheduling needs. Through my veterinary studies, I have been learning about the basic needs and proper care required for animals, including health, safety, and daily routines. In addition, I have experience dog sitting for family members and working at a doggy daycare, which has helped me better understand the importance of safe, attentive, and compassionate pet care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I strive to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. I focus on providing proper exercise, feeding, supervision, cleanliness, and plenty of attention while ensuring their overall safety and well-being.

I’m not ready to bring a new dog into the family yet, but I’m eager to get to know and care for your beloved furry family members!

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs throughout my life. I grew up with a reactive dog and can recognize signs that a reaction may occur. I am available before and after work during the week to help walk your dog! On weekends I can do drop ins and walks as needed. I have lots of walking trails and areas to walk dogs near my house. My dog gets at least 2 walks every day so I love to walk around the block!

“Amber did such a great job taking care of our two kitties while we were away. She was so communicative and sent photos of the time she spent feeding and playing with them. That put our mind at ease, which allowed us to enjoy our vacation knowing our kitties were in good hands Thanks Amber!!”
