“Dogs were happy and content upon my return! Job well done! Very personable young lady who knows the job well. I have confidence that she can handle whatever difficult situation might come up with the pets!”
“Evelyn is a top-tier sitter. Great communication (lots of photos, keep me apprised of the goings on while I was away), super respectful (I think my house was cleaner when I got back than when I left it), and most importantly: my boys loved her. Would book with her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Evelyn!!”
“EXCEPTIONAL! Carolina was terrific as house and dog sitter. Sent loads of pictures showing play time, multiple walks, rests, etc. We suspect the dogs now want us to leave more often! Dogs were VERY well taken care of; 2 bunnies too! All instructions followed; house left very clean - meticulous even. Will definitely have her back!”
“Katherine did an excellent job. She covered all of the items on our lenghty list of to dos and what to do. She understands our mature dog and cat. We felt so comfortable getting to know her and leaving her at our home.! She salted for details on items. She is calm and asks great questions and We felt so comfortable with her.”
About: I’ve provided pet sitting and care for multiple dogs, and cats including feeding, walking, and maintaining routines for friends, family and even people around my neighborhood. I’ve loved animals since childhood, and even had my own lab for 16 years who I loved to the moon and back but sadly passed away late 2024. I know older animals require a certain level of attention and care. I love staying active, and high energy animals and I get along great! I do not mind larger animals. I have consistent availability on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with additional flexible availability throughout the week depending on my schedule. I’m great with planning ahead and keeping a reliable routine with my clients! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and needs. I maintain feeding schedules, regular walks, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and stress-free. In clients’ homes, I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, walking, playtime, and any specific routines your pet is used to. I always aim to keep their environment calm, consistent, and familiar. I also provide updates and photos for peace of mind while you’re away.
“Emily is a loving and responsible caregiver for our aging pup. She provides us with regular reassuring updates and lots of photos. I have 100% confidence Aspen is well cared for when we are away which is why we have booked with her multiple times.”
“Tiffany was amazing and I am so happy we hired her for our 2-week trip. She was curious and had great questions, she was open and communicated with us often with photos, videos and updates on how our two cats were doing. Our shy cat did so well with her! I plan to rebook with her for our next get-away so that our kitties feel loved and well taken care of while we are gone. It is such a relief to hire someone who pampers our pets as much as we do. Thanks so much!!!”
“Nina was great with my little anxious pup, Freddie! She was very comforting while I was away on a trip, sending daily pics and updates. She responded quickly every time. She even noticed him getting allergies as well as started teaching him a new trick. I will be booking Nina again when I’m looking for a sitter.”
“Very sweet and fabulous with our dog who has a lot of separation anxiety. Our dog loved her and when I came home, she didn’t go crazy like usual if I leave the house for a bit, which means she wasn’t feeling aa anxious. I really appreciate the care for our dog and look forward to booking her again!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I am very active so you can expect frequent walks. I have a 5 year old dog who is very friendly I have full availability for dog walking, I’m home house sitting, and drop in visits if you are away. I love all types of dogs. I am very friendly with all types and sized dogs. I always have treats at the ready and toys with me for a great time. I take long walks regularly and would love for your dog to come with me!
“Kendra is incredible! She does such a great job of watching our dog Tazer and we love getting the photos that she sends throughout the days we’re away! We sleep well knowing that Kendra is taking care of Tazer. Kendra is reliable, professional and very trustworthy! We are so grateful for her! ❤️🐾”
“Jenna was fantastic! She made our dogs and cat feel safe and maintained their regular schedule. She sent updates throughout the stay with pictures. She was easy to work with. I'm so glad we found her!”
“Olivia was great-super attentive and always quick to respond. And was really flexible with my crazy holiday schedule, which was very appreciated. Looking forward to having her stay with Carl again soon!”
“This was the first time we hired Kari and we couldn't be happier. She was great with both of our dogs (one can be a little reactive) and was wonderful about keeping us updated on how the dogs were doing. We will certainly hire Kari again any time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend.”
“Wow! What a phenomenal sitter. We were nervous about our Bengal kittens having a sitter for the first time but Connie put us at ease immediately and we were happy to have them with her our entire trip. We will be sure to contact her again for any future pet sitting needs. A+++ 🥰! Thanks again, Connie! Cielo and Nube are going to miss you!”
“So many pictures and a very happy kitty :) Ciboney even took the time to wash our sheets before we came back home since we booked house sitting. Will definitely book again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coon Rapids
Carolina was outstanding. It was the second time she was at our house. She was wonderful about confirming the time and asking any questions in advance. She sent photos and messages daily, if not multiple times a day. My flight was delayed late at night, and she was willing to wait to see if I could get home. She even thoughtfully washed the sheets and made me feel like it was no big deal for her to stay. Upon returning, I wouldn't have known she was here; the house was so clean. I couldn't ask for a better experience. Thank you!
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 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 3,521 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Coon Rapids. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
