“I cannot say enough good things about Brianna. She gave us such peace of mind while we were out of town! She took excellent care of Pippa, and was great at communicating with us. She is fantastic, and Pippa loved her!”
“Emily was courteous, professional, and timely. She left our house clean and tidy, even did some laundry we never asked her to do, and took great care of our dog and two cats for a last minute booking. She even worked on teaching our dog a new trick, and kept good communication the entire stay. I would highly recommend her for your next trip!”
“We had a great experience with Camryn! Great communication from start to finish. While we were away, she sent us updates on our pets day as well as pictures. House was very clean when we returned home as well. Would definitely rebook again and would recommend.”
“Kendra was amazing! She stayed at our house with our two dogs. She sent lots of pics and updates and was able to walk them at the same time (they’re 50 lbs and 90lbs). The house looked great when we got home and the dogs were happy. Could not recommend her more!”
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
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.
“My doggies had another wonderful weekend with Olivia! I reached out short notice and she was able to house sit and look after my pooches…I am so thankful! Tucker and Bowie love her❤️”
“We are so thankful to have found Connie! This was our first experience hiring a house/cat sitter who would stay in our home during an extended trip so we were completely new to the process. From our first meeting with Connie, we knew she would be a great fit. She took such good care of our kitties and sent updates letting us know how they were doing. It gave us peace of mind knowing that she was there spending time with them while we were away. When returned, they were so much happier than they have been after returning from past trips. Such a good experience!”
“I was totally at ease knowing Heather was staying with my dog who has special health needs, and the updates I received during my trip were reassuring. When I got home and saw how well my dog was doing I was more than appreciative that Heather was here for her!”
“There’s not enough space on this page to mention all the wonderful things about Autumn. In a word, unbelievable. She is exceptionally caring, thoughtful, and meticulous. She went well above and beyond our expectations. She’s an outstanding communicator and we knew our pet was in the best possible hands while we were away. For honorable mention, she had to manage a tree falling on her vehicle during her stay. She gave our dog an enormous amount of attention and love in addition to leaving our home in immaculate condition. We can’t thank her enough.”
“Katie and Boyd did a wonderful job with our sweet Lucy. We were extremely nervous to use Rover for the first time, and they eased our minds. Katie and Boyd came to met Lucy prior to our trip away and asked for specific details on how to best take care of our pup. We highly recommend these two and will use them again in the future.”
“Alex is fabulous with our two pups one of which is very anxious and reactive. We just traveled out of state for a week and she stayed at our house with the dogs, she provided great updates and the pups and house are in great shape upon our return!”
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.
“Sammie did a great job watching my two big dogs (130 lbs bullmastiff and 75 lbs goldendoodle) for the weekend! She sent great updates with pictures and even took them to the dog park which looked like they had a blast! She cleaned up after herself and left the house in good shape. Would definitely have her back to watch the pups again!”
About: I'm super flexible, and welcome all sizes and ages like they are my own! For all my life I have loved animals and I have experience with all types of animals, but dogs are my soft spot:) I have a lot of knowledge (and have done years of research) on dog behavior and cues, handling, etc! I like to prioritize pet sitting! Because of that, I am free 5 days out of the week to do drop ins or walks for your fur baby: Monday✅, Tuesday✅, Wednesday✅, Thursday✅, Friday✅ I have a nice big fenced yard! And a friendly, sweet, & small Yorkie-Poodle mix dog, she's 8 years old and gets along very well with dogs and cats (she is spayed!). I have my license and own car, so I'll even take your furry friend to the dog park or on nature trails with me! (Unless told not to) I am also able to come to you:)
About: Our home in Brooklyn Park is ready to host your pet. Having had a Great Dane for almost ten years, we are ready to watch pets in any size range. We have no dogs or cats in the home currently, but are set up to give your pet the best possible experience while you are away! We have experience with senior dogs and dietary restrictions such as raw feeding, as well as giving medications as needed. Currently, both Jackie and I work from home, so there is always someone around during the day. We live right off of a walking trail, so daily walks will be no problem. We have a fenced in yard if your pup likes to be outside. Otherwise they are welcome to hang out with us during the day on one of many dog beds, or on the couch for cuddle time.
About: I have had my own dog since I was 4. I also have been a dog sitter for many of my neighbors for years. I have experience with frequent visits during the day and overnight sitting. I’ve also had experience with special conditions such as giving medication and caring for pets who are ill. For example, my dog needs ear drops and allergy medication, so I have experience with those types of medication specifically. I also have experience cat sitting and caring for other pets, like small rodents or snakes. Currently I am working full time, hybrid, with two days in the office. I’m available for visits during the mornings and afternoons/nights during the week or weekend. I will be more available during the holiday season as well and can sit for an extended period of time if you are on vacation. I have a cat at home so I cannot provide home services, but I am available for house sitting! I have done many extended stays and have the luxury of working from home, so if your pet needs to stick to their schedule, I can be there.
The median cost per night for house sitting in West Coon Rapids is $50

She was amazing! Sent me pictures of my fur babies.. kept me updated.. stayed for the whole time so my dog wouldn’t be kenneled! Adored my cat and paid full attention to my animals. Will be using her again! My dog is high energy and handled him exceptionally. You won’t regret having her pet sit!
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!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
