House Sitting in Hastings

“This was our second time having Alex stay with our pups and she was just as amazing! Our boys always look so happy with her and it’s so nice to know they are in good hands while we are away. I’ve been recommending her to everyone!”

About: I have had a wide range of animals including rodents, reptiles, aquatics, and a dog. I have watched my friend’s dogs and cats, as well as rodents. Many of these animals have been seniors, so I have experience with medications and helping with their specific needs! I am a full time student, but I have lots of free time! My classes range from 3-8 hours, but I am willing to stay with your beloved pets for the time I am not in school! I love to go sit outside with my dog when he goes out, and that would be the same with your pets! Making sure that animals are safe is always my number one priority! I do require a meet and greet of both you and your pets!

“I would highly recommend!! Our dogs, as well as our home was taken care of perfectly. I know we will have no worries leaving our pups with them in the future!!”

“Sami was able to help us pretty short notice with care for our two young pups. She is prompt to respond and aims to ensure the dogs have the best time while their family is away. She administers medications and sends photo updates thru the time away. Sami even helped water some patio planters. She definitely gives piece of mind when we can't be with the pups!”

About: I have always been a huge animal lover and have been around cats and dogs my whole life. I have one cat of my own and I have had her for 6 years now. I also have 2 dogs. I grew up always having cats and dogs in the family. I would love you watch your pets and make sure they are happy and healthy while you are out of town, or at work all day. Message me for dog walking, drop in visits, or other inquires. I will always treat your pet as my own, and make sure that they are comfortable while you can’t be with them. I hope that you contact me to help you take care of your pets while you are away from home! I am going to school full time, but I am very flexible with my hours with half my classes being online this semester. I play with my own pets throughout each day and walk my dogs often. I have a fenced yard and two dogs that are friendly once they warm up to new people and that would love to meet new friends. At drop in visits, I care for your pet based off the information the owner gives me.

“Did a great job and the dogs loved him.”

“Rory did great with our 3 fur babies. We will definitely hire him again!”

About: I grew up with dogs and as an adult, I have had 3 cats. Sadly they have passed away from old age. In the future, I plan on having another pet, but in the meantime, I can love and care for other people's animals! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and take care of their pets. I do work full-time Monday through Friday, but my schedule would be available on weekends and some weekdays after 5:30 PM. Holidays can be an option also. My main values are providing safety, trust and love to your pets with respect to the pet owners. When I am with your pet you will be worry free!

“Rachel was great with our pets, who can be very particular! We came home to relaxed pets and a very well cared for home. Will definitely look to book Rachel again!”

“Liv is fantastic with our two dogs. Both dogs are adopted rescues who require extra patience and Liv is the perfect fit for them - meeting them where they are until they are comfortable and ready to trust and snuggle. We appreciate the consistent daily communication and photos of our fur babies while we’re away. Liv goes above and beyond to take care of the dogs while staying in our home. We are so grateful and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a fantastic pet sitter. Thank you Liv!”

About: I am Derek. I have cared for everything from litters of kittens to horses. My passion is animals and I have three cats, one dog and various foster pets of my own. I understand that our pets ARE our kids! Whether it is walking your dog, or watching your cat for the week; I will care for your critters as if they are my own. Let me know how I can best care for your fur ball, when they eat, and any special needs. I will provide the rest! Current residents of our home include one very friendly and plump male short hair cat, his shy little sister, an energetic 3.5 year old australian shepherd / collie mix, a 2 year old Lab / German Shepherd mix and I. Thank you, Derek I am currently working full time with a flexible schedule. I am generally available in the morning hours (5 a.m. - 9 a.m.) and in the evenings (4:00 p.m. - midnight). I live in Hastings, MN with my partner, kid and animals! All time outdoors is either on a leash or tether in the backyard which is largely fenced in. In addition, we have a camera system and dogs are supervised at all times. Our dog and cats are extremely friendly and submissive.

About: Four years of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a veterinary boarding facility. Skilled in safe handling, administering medications as directed, monitoring health and behavior, and maintaining a clean, low-stress environment. Comfortable working with pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, including those with medical needs. As a full-time college student, I incorporate pet care into my weekly routine by taking on regular clients as my class schedule allows. I also offer care for as-needed clients and am flexible with scheduling when possible. I prioritize consistency, communication, and reliability to ensure pets receive attentive care alongside my academic responsibilities. I care for pets by following their normal routines as closely as possible in a client’s home. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, administering medications as directed, and providing lots of attention and enrichment. I closely monitor behavior and health, keep spaces clean and safe, and communicate regularly with owners to share updates and address any concerns. My goal is to create a low-stress, comfortable environment where pets feel secure and well cared for.

“Sarah was a fantastic sitter. She was kind, communicative, respectful of our wishes, more than helpful (washed animal dishes without our prompting), etc. I cannot say enough positive things. Her pictures of our animals clearly showed she spent time with them inside our home and in the yard. She engaged with them and made them feel safe while we were out of town during some big storms. We will absolutely be future customers.”

Brittany P.

“Rachel did an amazing job with our 2 pups!!! She kept us updated and even washed the blanket one of our dogs got sick on which she didn’t have to do at all. The house was very clean when we got home. She followed all instructions. Even did the extras like collecting the mail & bringing up the trash cans. We will be using her again for sure!!”

“My wife and I are very satisfied with Katrina sitting our house, large dog and two cats for two days. We also appreciate her keeping our new outdoor plants watered. Happy to have her house sit again.”
