“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!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our 8-month-old puppy received! From the very beginning, Carolina was professional, kind, and incredibly attentive to our pup’s needs. They took the time to learn about our puppy’s routine, preferences, and quirks, making sure she felt comfortable and well cared for while we were away. Communication was outstanding—we received regular updates, photos, and even little videos about our pup’s day, which gave us such peace of mind. Carolina was engaging with her, providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and structured care. We came home to a happy, well-exercised, and relaxed puppy, which speaks volumes about the level of care she received. We would absolutely trust Carolina again and highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a responsible and loving dog sitter. Thank you so much!”
“We were out of town for 2 nights and needed a sitter for our puppy and cat. Elizabeth was amazing! She visited the evening before to get to know our pets and routine, then stayed at our house Friday-Sunday and took the puppy out at all hours of the day and night! She was also able to make suggestions based on her experience that have really helped. We would heartily recommend Elizabeth to anybody.”
“Tiffany made my kids so happy! She went above and beyond communicating with me and making sure that all of my kids got attention and loves all the time! I cannot wait to have her take care of my furry family again!”
“Stefan was the perfect match for our older Lab. He was so kind and attentive that I felt at ease leaving her in his care. Additionally, he kept in touch the whole week and sent pics which made me happy. Lastly, our home was I clean and orderly as if we were only gone 5 minutes! Stefan is such an amazing guy we feel lucky to have found him.”
“Really appreciated Beth’s daily updates she provided on the care for Tyson. I felt very comfortable with Beth staying in my home and would happily have her again!”
“Stephanie was amazing. We have 3 dogs, one who is geriatric and two adolescent Vizelas, plus 6 cats. Most need some type of medication. She handled the entire circus with ease. Stephanie is our new go to for our zoo.”
“This is the second time Aida watched our two dogs and she provided the most excellent care again. Our rescue dog who is typically very scared of strangers has become so comfortable with her that we know we can leave them with her anytime and they will be so well cared for! We already have her booked again!”
About: I have experience working with all kinds of animals! I have a tortoise, four ducks, and three dogs at home. I’ve had many other animals in the past! I’m currently working part-time split shifts at an elementary school. Because of this, I’ll have time to stop by multiple times a day, as much as needed! I’m able to provide whatever you will need for me to best take care of your pets! I’m able to do multiple drop in visits during the day
“Kelly was extremely flexible to our needs with four dogs and a cat, and accepting of our changes with little to no notice. She sent pictures throughout the day and updates about how they spent their time together. She even started the laundry and dishwasher before leaving to ensure a clean house for us when we returned, which was greatly appreciated!”
“Tanya was great! Penny, my golden doodle adored her. We got frequent updates and updates and pictures of Penny. My house was spotless when I got home. We will definitely ask Tanya to watch our Penny again!! Thank you Tanya!❤️”
“We had a great experience with Jennifer! She stayed at our house for 5 days to watch our dog Joe and took excellent care of him the entire time. She provided frequent updates, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Joe is an anxious dog but was very comfortable having her around. On top of that, she left the house just as clean as she found it. Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter!”
“Cari is absolutely amazing! She is warm and conscientious and took the time to get to know our cat and dog with their various quirks! Great communicator. I did not worry about the pets for the entire trip! Not only was she great with the animals, she took care of the house and even folded laundry/sheets we left in the dryer.”
“It's always a good sign when the pups are happy to see you, and also sad to see Erin go. Erin always takes wonderful care of my pups and they are always sad to see her go!”
“Brooke was an exceptional dog sitter. We have a giant 2 year old, attention seeking puppy, and Brooke went above and beyond to care for him. She not only took amazing care of our puppy, but she also left our house neat and tidy. She arrived on time and was very thorough with all of the details. We will definitely ask Brooke back to our home to care for our boy.”
“Our dog loved Jade, and it was his first time being with a new adult. She came and met the dog first and was super punctual and great with our dog. Clearly a pro at this!”

Breanna was amazing! She kept me updated the entire stay with photos and recaps of the day. We have a senior dog that is having health issues and she took such good care of him - giving him his meds, helping him around, and consoling him. She kept my pets active and was very thorough in understanding our instructions and preferences. My dogs loved her so much and can’t wait to see her again! Also, I came home to a nice clean home, with bedding and towels washed and everything perfect, which was so nice after a long day of traveling home. It gave me extra time cuddling my dogs when I got back! Thank you so much Breanna!
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!
Caleb went above and beyond providing care to our animals and home while we were away. We appreciated his great communication, attention to detail, and most of all his love for animals. We would consider ourselves lucky and would absolutely hire Caleb again if given the opportunity.
Jenea is one of the best dog sitters! She is so compassionate with our 12 year old Corgi who has back leg issues. She cares so much she slept on the couch on main level as our Corgi can’t go upstairs and she didn’t want her to feel alone. So blessed to have her in our village!!!
Ashlie is always so wonderful when she stays with our pups! She and her dog, Merlin have stayed three times now and we are always so impressed. She is very communicative and sends lots of pictures! The house is always clean and tidy. I cannot recommend Ashlie enough! She’s fantastic!

FAQs for House Sitting - Coon Rapids
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Coon Rapids on Rover is $27.75 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,482 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Coon Rapids. 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 Coon Rapids 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 Coon Rapids 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 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!
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
