“This was my dog’s third time staying with Sophan, and he was so eager to see her as we turned into her neighborhood that he started excitedly barking and crying. 😆 I know he’s always in great hands with her!”
“Kathryn was extremely nice and easy to work with. She responded promptly and was very accommodating. Loki had a great time with her, and we would definitely feel comfortable leaving him with her again.”
“My Bernese , Bennett, spent a weekend with Nancy and Jeremy , and he absolutely loved it . Not our first or last time staying there ! Good updates and they love him like he’s family .”
“Friendly and loving! We couldn’t be more pleased of the level of care Renee and Jim gave to our Nella Mae. Thank you to you both for accepting our holiday request. The meet and greet was a great idea and your home felt warm and welcoming. We loved the pictures and updates you sent. These small gestures made our vacation much more comfortable, knowing our baby was in good hands. We will certainly think of you again.”
“Jordon and Melisa provided good updates while watching our dog for the weekend. The kids seemed excited to help care for Gaia. I'd definitely recommend them for a stay!”
“I cannot recommend Dave enough! He took such good care of my pup Taco. He sent pics every day and included some details about Taco's stay. I really appreciated Dave's flexibility when my flight home was delayed by six hours--not arriving until 2:30 AM. He was able to keep Taco a bit longer--life saver! We haven't been home long, but I'm pretty sure Taco misses Dave. I feel like Taco made a new friend and that means everything to me. Thank you Dave!”
“Dafflyn is amazing! Our elderly dog needed a last-minute sitter, and Dafflyn made her stay easy, comfortable and fun! We got regular updates and videos, and our senior dog had a wonderful time with Dafflyn! She will be staying with her again! 😊”
“Manami was wonderful to communicate with and i appreciated the updates she provided while Judy was in her care. Judy appeared to have a great time. I greatly appreciated Manami being able to take Judy on short notice and was easy to work with in terms of drop off and pick up times. Highly recommend her.”
“Everything worked great with this family. I know if my dog could talk she definitely agree with me. I will certainly have you on my list for next time. Thanks a lot.”
“Megan and Brandon were very accommodating and responsive. My dog was able to run around their wonderful fenced in backyard and play with their two dogs. I had full confidence in their ability to take care of him.”
“I was talking with Selah as we went home and she said she very much enjoyed her stay with Shelby and the family. Selah also said it was nice they had a fenced yard and a German Shepherd so she could play with one of her own kind. Shelby kept us informed as to how things were going. We were very pleased.”
“I had a last minute trip come up, and needed someone to watch my dog Nala on short notice. I rarely travel, and I work from home so I was a little worried about her separation anxiety. Amanda took amazing care of Nala, made sure she felt comfortable and safe. She provided regular photo updates, as well as keeping me informed of how Nala was eating and sleeping, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Nala had a great time playing fetch, going for walks, and snuggling on the couch. Amanda even sent her home with a cute home-made treat box (all made of ingredients that were sensitive to Nala’s allergies!). I’ll definitely be booking with Amanda again next time I need pet care - Amanda, thank you again for taking such good care of Nala!”
“Angela is enthusiastic to my dogs and interested in their welfare. She is responsive and keeps me in the loop how my dogs are doing. I appreciate the photos and words. I will be using her the next time I head out of town.”
“Sabrina is the absolute best🥹 My dog LOVES her and I know she is always so well taken care of! She gets tons of walks, play time, and cuddles. She has the best time and I know she is safe which is the most important thing to me! We’re so grateful!”
“Greyson enjoyed his time with Kyle and Coco! Picked up the happiest pup and will definitely book again. Thank you so much for taking care of him and sending updates and pictures.”
“Jordan has been watching our English bulldog Marge here and there throughout the year. Most recently he watched her while we were out of the country for two weeks. He always takes great care of her, sends us regular updates, and is flexible when travel plans change. Marge loves staying with Jordan, and we love having a great sitter for her!”

Seth and Jackie watched our dog for over 2 weeks while we got married and went on our honeymoon and we felt so happy from the second we dropped him off because he was so excited to be back staying with them, we knew he was in great hands! They sent us lots of photos of Moose having a blast, running around in the backyard, going for walks, and being a goofball!! We appreciated their attention to detail, updates, and kindness so much!! Would highly recommend booking with Seth and Jackie!
I appreciate the full attention that you give to Milo when he is in your care. Even though he is usually a very anxious dog when we go to the vet or grooming appointments or just unfamiliar places in general, I can tell when I drop him off that he knows he will be well taken care of. It helps me to know this as well.
Sophan was absolutely wonderful with our dog! She really came through for us when our plans unexpectedly changed, and we’re so grateful she was able to care for him. She treated him like her own. Brushing him, taking him on multiple walks each day, playing fetch in her big yard, and keeping us updated on how happy he was. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in such loving hands. Honestly, when we came to pick him up, he didn’t even want to leave! 😂 You truly couldn’t ask for a better person to love and care for your pet while you’re away. We’re so grateful to Sophan and would absolutely trust her with our dog again!
We were so fortunate to find Margaret! She promptly answered our request and set a meet and greet. As soon as we met her we knew she was the right person to care of Bandit. Margaret is kind, welcoming and thoughtful, she took care of Bandit as he was her own. Her wonderful care helped him come out of his shell and have fun. We looked forward to the updates Margaret would send our way, it was a joy to see Bandit having the best time. Margaret and her family are the best hosts and we would love for Bandit to stay with them again.

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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in West Coon Rapids can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their West Coon Rapids home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your West Coon Rapids.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.

You and your West Coon Rapids sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
