“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!”
“Tierney was wonderful! Did in home pet sitting for my puppy and 2 cats. Sent lots of updates, photos, and was more than happy to accommodate last minute extra things. Our house was left so clean you couldn’t even tell she was there. Would happily have her back!”
About: I am a disabled veteran and have 2 dogs and a cat! Looking to get some extra love from animals that I can't have myself lol. I'd love to have a bazillion dogs! I have my own car as well and can take your dog to the dog park if it's close by! You will be sure to have a reliable & friendly person take care of your fur baby/babies! I can provide feeding/walking/playing/etc! I hope to meet you soon and see if your doggo and me click! Let's get this started and you will not be disappointed. Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you! I'm a disabled veteran and so I am looking to work in a field where I am able to feel like I have helped someone and their animals while enjoying my time! I will always make sure to adhere to your safety standards, being a veteran has made sure that I have attention to detail and high safety standards.
“Katherine did a great job with my dogs! I really appreciate her staying at my place and keeping it nice and clean. :) Would definitely book with her again! :)”
“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!”
“Tanya was AMAZING!!! Immediately after meeting her & watching her interact with our tiny zoo we had complete confidence that they were in good hands. Will definitely be rebooking in the future.”
“Emily spent two weeks at our house with our three dogs and loved them like they were her own. We requested daily photo updates and she obliged with more than 150 pics during our time abroad. She had to help us process the unexpected loss of one of our pups during this time and was an absolute godsend to us. We would recommend her 1000 times over.”
“Ashley was an excellent house/dog sitter! Our pup was clearly well taken care of, she spent lots of time playing and walking him. We appreciated the routine updates and she left the house clean and secured. Glad to know we can work with her again!”
“Evelyn did a great job taking care of our furry child. We appreciate the somewhat short-notice booking and everything went really smoothly. I would highly recommend booking Evelyn if you're in need of pet care!”
About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I give to every pet. I treat each animal like family and take the time to learn their individual personality, routine, and needs. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable caring for pets of different ages and temperaments, including energetic puppies and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I work part time, and my kids are all over 18, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I’m able to give pets the time, attention, and care they need. I enjoy having animals as part of my day and am happy to work with each pet’s individual routine, whether that means morning visits, afternoon check-ins, or evening care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, making sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of your home and make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also enjoy sending updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Alex did such an amazing job watching my pets while I was on vacation. She sent lots of pictures and updates and I felt like I could relax without having to think about if everything was ok back home. Definitely book her for your next trip!”
About: **Unfortunately, we no longer board Pitbulls.** I've walked dogs and cared for them since I was 10. Dogs respond well to me as I never have a problem getting down to a dogs level. I love to I play with them which can mean getting chased, chasing or even just a good game of fetch. Your dog will always have a friend here. Feeding is no issue for me as I usually am in the kitchen in my freetime as well. Food is a language everyone speaks. I can care for your four legged friend all day during weekends and on evenings during the week days. Your friends will be walked/ loved and always entertained. We welcome dogs from all walks of life and backgrounds. I'm often outside and hang out around my yard. I have a townhouse that your pet will be safe in. I can walk dogs around my neighborhood and yard. My house is your dogs playground. While outside your dog will be on a leash with constant eyes on your four legged friend. They'll always have company as I often sot on the floor to play or just hang out.
“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.”
About: Hello! I’ve had pets all of my life. I had my last dog for 12 years, and now I have a two cats who are now 5. I’ve always had a cat or dog in my home. Most currently, I’ve house sat and cared for dogs for many close family and friends. My experience is with medium to large sized dogs. Depending on the request of pet parents, I can also run with dogs. I do this often for my brother’s 7 year old Goldendoodle! I have experience with cats and dogs alike, ranging from puppies and kittens to senior pets. I’m an avid runner and walker and truly believe in animals getting the exercise they need. While I currently have a cat, I would also very much so like to have some dog/puppy time on walks and check ins.
About: Hello, my name is Dakota! I’m new to Rover, but not new to animal care. I’ve been in the pet care business for 4+ years so you can trust that I can handle your pets with great care! Full disclosure I work a day job full-time at a doggy daycare. I work a combination of 6-2:30 shifts and 11-7 shifts. My days aren’t set which I understand isn’t the easiest to work around, but I am pretty open and hopefully we can set something up that works for you, me, and your furry friend! I will make sure they get lots of snuggles and also keep them entertained. I can also give them walks (if they are needed/wanted) :)
“Our cats were very well taken care of. Samantha provided daily feedback and pictures. She even got the picky one to eat and sit with her. Would happily have her pet sit for us again.”
“Hands down, this was one of our best pet sitting experiences! First of all, her communication prior to every meeting/obligation was fantastic. Exceeded expectations. Always on time fir in person commitments. Secondly, she was fantastic with our dogs. Sent us pictures, walked them regularly. Lastly, she took out our garbage, brought in packages and left our house in better shape than she found it. I would without hesitation seek out her services in the future. You can’t put a price on peace of mind while being away from your pets. She exceeded our expectations at every turn. Thank you!!!”
“We struck gold with Greta. Never have I met someone who was so quick to adopt the love we have for our senior greyhound. She truly cares about animals and it shows! I highly appreciate the close attention she pays to details and how communicative she was while we were away. You will be lucky to have her watch your pet (so long as we don’t book her first)!”

The average cost of House Sitting in West Coon Rapids is $42 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $68 per night.

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 West 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 West 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 West 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 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.
