Georgia was amazing! She gave regular updates and cute photos of the cats. One of my cats had diarrhea, but Georgia kept thorough updates on how she was doing. Already booked for another visit!

Yuanqing (Ping Ping) was extraordinary! My cats are quite shy, but she kept me updated on them, and even managed to make friends with them! Really remarkable level of service. I cannot recommend her highly enough. I will be sure to request her services the next time I have to leave town.

About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by furry friends; they were a part of our family. Currently, I work from home and have no pets. I would love to adopt in the future, but until then I enjoy watching others' pets whenever I get the chance. I live in a pet-friendly building with its own dog park, a few blocks from the Mississippi and the waterworks park! I like to allow animals to explore and be curious during walks and am patient with them if something catches their attention. I currently work from home, so I am available to give your pet all the attention they need! I live in a building with a dog park so they can have as much playtime as they want. I spend my work day at home and have a very flexible schedule. This allows for extra time for play time, long walks and cuddles!

Kevin did a sterling job with what we gave him to work with - suffice to say Søsha was not quite as well socialized as she needed to be. All in all, he did great work. Always checked in and sent pictures of the girls, and Sadie was in far better condition than when we decided to kennel her two years ago. We know what to do next time and Kevin was entirely helpful with this process. We will be engaging him again in the future - thank you Kevin!

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.

About: From dogs to cats (and even a bearded dragon), I've done it all. I understand how nerve racking it can be to leave your animal with someone you barely know so I'll do the following to make sure you can feel confident your pets are being well taken care of while you're away: - Multiple updates throughout the day confirming eating and bathroom habits - Pictures of the activities we've been up to - A detailed daily plan developed to make sure we never miss a beat with their normal routine Reach out so we can develop a plan that meets your needs! Im free for walks after work during week days which is typically around 5 PM (depending if I'm working from home or on-site). On Thursday and Friday, I have midday availability depending on travel distance - reach out and we can talk through details! I'm much more free on weekends so with notice I can make just about anything work! As an owner of a very large (German Shepard/Great Pyr mix) dog, I'm very familiar with the worries of a pet parent. I will treat your animal like my own and can handle even the largest of them (including pullers and reactive dogs).

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 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.

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 have been taking care of my own dog as well as friends, families, and neighbors dogs. I love everything to do with all animals. I am currently studying during the year to get a degree in animal studies! I am comfortable and empathetic will all kinds of dogs. I am also comfortable with giving medication as needed. I am currently home for the summer from college and looking for some work! I love all animals and thought this would be perfect for me as I have a very free schedule for the next few months! I am comfortable with staying in your home with your fur babies as well as letting them out, walking them, and providing play time! If they stay in a crate I am also comfortable with taking them out and getting them back in! I can be very accommodating to each fur baby depending on what they need I will do my best to care for all of them as if they were my own!

About: I grew up with labs and ultimately wanted lap dogs once I moved out of my parents home. When I was 20 (in college housing) I was crazy enough to get a puppy! My little dachshund made me the most popular student on campus, shortly thereafter I adopted a min pin because being an only child can get lonely! Both my dogs lived to be 20! They recently passed away and we have been missing that part of our family and aren’t yet ready to commit to new furry pets. My daughter is 9 and has done quite a bit of dog sitting already, she is all hands on deck (with supervision) and will surely spoil your pups! We’ve had dogs overnight at our house, done overnights at others home as well as done check ins and day visits. I have experience with administering meds (pills and shots), making special diets, bathing, nail clipping, ear cleaning, teeth brushing and all the typical dog Mom stuff! We like dogs of all sizes and ages! We love to go for long walks and explore nature or play a game of chase or fetch. I work a flexible schedule Monday - Friday and like to stay busy so would be able to accommodate most requests depending on location and advanced notice. We do not currently have any furry pets in our home so your dog(s) would be our main priority! We have a large downstairs basement if your dog has a lot of energy and would get them outside for good exercise as well.

Katelyn has been great helping me out with my dog, Jaxx. She’s reliable, caring, and always makes the process easy for me. Even on short notice, she’s been available and willing to help, which I really appreciate. It gives me peace of mind knowing Jaxx is in good hands. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable dog sitter or walker.

Rachel was so great to work with! She came over to meet our pups prior to her dog-sitting visits, and we could tell that she is a knowledgeable and kind caregiver by the way she came prepared with treats (given with permission!) gave lots of pets as our pups warmed up. From her thorough visit notes and photos, it seems that our (sometime anxious) pups really enjoyed their time with Rachel, and we had peace of mind that they were in loving, capable hands while we were away. We would absolutely rebook with her in the future!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Coon Rapids

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Coon Rapids on Rover is $27.82 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 5,709 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Coon Rapids. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Coon Rapids stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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 Coon Rapids 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!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Coon Rapids with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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

  • 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% 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.

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.
