“Megan is amazing with our dog. She is very communicative about everything and leaves detailed Rover cards for us plus photos. She has been so helpful in every regard when it comes to walking him regularly as well as checking in on him for a visit. I feel so reassured he is in good hands! Highly recommend as long as you don't book up her schedule too much because we need her!”
“Nova has been wonderful with drop in visits. When she came for our meet and greet she was very respectful of how to announce her visit and then suggested moving outdoors to run off the crazed energy. She came well prepared with multiple questions, even some I wouldn’t have thought to ask. I love that her visits are budget friendly; I can afford to do more drop in visits with my 2 dogs! I definitely recommend Nova!”
About: I have a cat of my own and I’ve grown up with pets for all of my life. I have experience giving medication to both cats and dogs. I can brush or groom your pet if needed and if they have any specific needs I can tend to as well. I’m currently unemployed so I can spend full days or nights at the house with your pet if needed or stop in multiple times a day to let them out or bring them on walks. I have a cat where I live full time I feed him, play with him, and clean the litter box as needed When he has needed meds i give them to him without trouble When I had dogs in the past I had experience grooming them, walking them, picking up after them, and giving them medications as they got older
“Rachel took great care of my cat Jack during some drop in visits. She was sure to send pictures, communicate well, and spend time playing and cuddling with him. She was great!”
“Breann has done a great job dropping in to take care of my cat while I was away. Her visit summaries are well detailed and she is very observant of cat behaviors. I highly recommend her!”
“They were great!!! Understood my cats illness and communicated clearly and precisely everyday on their visit. Spent time for extra pets in my cats favorite areas and changed the items/feeding amounts when asked. Will definitely book again!!!!!”
“Erin was amazing with all 3 of my dogs and was willing to work with me through their adjustment into apartment living! She let all 3 out, fed them, and gave one medication. Plus her flexibility cannot be overstated!”
“Quick response, kind and professional. My dogs did well upon first meet up and the reassurance my pets are taken care of when having to work a long day. Thank you for the photo update and bringing in my package.”
About: I have grown up having cats, and have experience caring for dogs since I was a child. I am happy to bathe and give medications to non - aggressive animals. I am best available after 5 pm on weekdays, and carried available on the weekends. I am pretty flexible and willing to work with owners. Unless noted the pet does well with other pets/ dog parks I will keep the pets away from other pets. I care greatly for your pets safety.
About: I have always loved animals since I was a child. I am the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I have gained experience in providing reliable and loving care for a variety of pets. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding or offering companionship. I am dedicated to ensuring every pet gels happy and well cared for. Working remotely allows me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care for your pets, whether in my home or yours. I own a comfortable home with access to a yard and walking trail. I am available on weekends, and thanks to my remote work schedule I am able to offer care at all hours during the week. Your pets safety and well-being are my top priorities. I own my own home, which provides a secure and comfortable environment for your furry family members. I currently only have axolotls, which require minimal attention, allowing me to focus entirely on your pets. I ensure a clean, safe and loving environment. I am committed to building trust with both pets and their owners and I am happy to provide regular updates and pictures as requested.
About: I grew up with dogs and have had my own pup for over six years. I love all dogs big and small! I can’t wait to give your dog all my love and attention! I’m working part time and would love to fill my off hours with doggy playtime, walks, and even a companion for my pup Nova if it works out! When I am sitting the dogs are always my priority. My apartment is completely dog friendly and there is no space they can’t go. There is a dog park across the street for frequent play and lots of space along the river for good walks and smells!

Whether they have free access throughout the home or spend time in a crate I am comfortable with both.

About: I've loved animals all my life. I got my first puppy when I was about 13 years old, full of pre-teen enthusiasm for learning all about dog behavior and puppy training strategies. Now that my own beloved dog is no longer with us, I've found myself wishing I had more opportunities to connect with animals on a regular basis. I've taken every chance I could to pet sit for friends and acquaintances over the years, but recently I realized that I could also be using Rover to make pet care a more regular part of my life! Since I'm also meant to share something here that makes me "stand out" as a sitter, I'll say that animals do tend to feel particularly safe and relaxed around me. If I were to take a guess as to why that is, I think I would say that it's probably a combination of: 1) genuinely loving pets and wanting to have a positive interaction with them, 2) not bringing anxious energy into the room, which I think is something that most pets can sense, and 3) knowing enough about animal behavior to not escalate any existing anxieties or aggression. As someone who has had a beloved pet, I know how important it is to find someone to care for your pet that you can trust to accommodate their particular needs, and to create a safe, happy environment for them while you're away. If you'll trust me to be that person, then nothing would make me happier than to give your pet an amazing visit, walk, or staycation! I work full time (8.5 hours M-F) in Arden Hills, and my preference for pet care would be to schedule services either before (7:30am) or after (5pm) work. I do have some flexibility to pop out for short walks in the middle of the day for one-off service requests, but would not be able to accommodate a repeating service in the middle of the work day. I am not able to host pets in my home at this time, but if I can come and care for your pets at their own home, I am happy to follow whatever instructions you give for how to make your pet feel happy and safe and cared for during your absence! I am a careful instruction follower, so I will refer back to any information you can give me about what your pet is accustomed to when you are home, and how you would like me to care for them when you're gone. If you feel nervous at all about leaving them, I'm also more than happy to send regular updates to you about how they are doing!
About: I’ve spent a lot of time with dogs. I have helped train and care for my 5-year-old dog since she was a puppy. I love all types of dogs, along with small animals (I have two guinea pigs!) I currently have a flexible weekday schedule, happy to spend time with your pups any time during the day! Weekends can be trickier, but I can work it out with more advance I will follow your personalized instructions for your pet! I am comfortable crating, feeding, playing, and taking dogs on walks or outside. If your dog has special needs, I am very willing to accommodate!
“Ashley was very accommodating was able to book last minute and squeeze me in and still meet my kiddos needs. Communicative and fast response to any questions or concerns I had. Thanks”
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.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Coon Rapids
Ashley is a wonderful sitter for my three boys. They enjoy time with her and I know they are being taken care of when I am away! She graciously took on a last minute reservation for a quick trip up north and it was most appreciated. Highly recommend Ashley!!
Brianna was right on time everyday and every evening to make sure Lucy was fed and walked and lived even though the weather was extremely hot all week. I loved the wonderful pictures she sent and the ongoing communication she gave me reassured me that Lucy was in great hands! Nancy
Jordan is exceptional! She took such good care of my cat, Belle. I was nervous as I hadn’t left Belle for extended periods of time before, but I had no worries once Jordan started visiting. She was so patient and caring with my shy kitty and even became good friends with her. Jordan has amazing communication skills and gives frequent and timely updates. I would highly recommend booking with her!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Coon Rapids is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $33 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 5,895 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Coon Rapids. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
