“Alex was awesome with our chocolate lab Trigger! She communicates great, cares for Trig so well and Trigger absolutely loves her! She did drop ins while I was on vacation and we couldn’t trust her more. We 100% recommend Alex and will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have experience owning and caring for Miniature Schnauzers and Miniature Dachshunds. These dogs have taught me so much about patience, companionship, routines, and the unique personalities and needs of different breeds. I truly love dogs and enjoy giving them the attention, affection, exercise, and care they deserve. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved when their families are away. I would treat every dog in my care like one of my own. As a self-employed person who works from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of time, attention, and companionship to the animals in my care. Working from home means I can be available throughout the day for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m able to work around each pet’s individual routine and needs, while still keeping up with my own work responsibilities. I love having the opportunity to give pets the care, attention, and love they deserve while their families are away. I would care for a client’s pet as if it were my own. I would follow the owner’s instructions carefully, keep the pet’s feeding, medication, exercise, and potty schedule consistent, and give them plenty of attention and affection. I would also keep the home clean and safe, provide regular updates to the owner, and make sure their pet feels comfortable, loved, and secure while they’re away.
“Rachel was a fantastic sitter for our 3 cats! We spent 2 weeks abroad and it was such a comfort knowing she was stopping in daily to care for our fur babies. She sent updates daily with how they were doing and provided lots of pictures, which were so fun to see. She had great communication and was very quick to respond to messages. Rachel has a gentle personality that is perfect for caring for your pets, and we will absolutely be booking with her in the future.”
“Melanie was wonderful as always! Our cats are always happy to see her . Everything was smooth and easy. Love the pictures she sends of the cats each visit. Will use her to watch our cats again in the future!!”
“This was my first time having Carol care for my cats and I was so happy to have found her. She took great care of them and gave me regular updates. One of my cats is particularly shy and she came up to Carol the first time they met, which was a huge positive in my book.”
“Both our pups were very happy when we got home - Jennifer was the perfect balance of communicative and knowledgeable/comfortable, even with our 12 week old pup and the 4 year old as well. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Mikayla is an excellent sitter! Our cats love her, and she is so great with them. All they want out of life is someone to snuggle with, and Mikayla sent photos every day of her giving them lots of love and snuggles 🥰 She is very professional and communicative, and I highly recommend booking her for your own pet’s care.”
About: A Loving Home Away From Home 🐾 I love animals of all sizes and personalities—from big dogs to tiny pups, and from energetic adventurers to professional couch potatoes! I have years of experience caring for my own cats and dogs, along with training experience through courses such as Puppy Training 101 and training for fearful/reactive dogs. I’m also an experienced foster provider for two local animal rescues. Fostering requires additional vetting, training, and an in-home visit, and I’m proud to help rescue dogs on their journey to finding their forever homes. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages and sizes, and I’m happy to care for cats, too. For boarding, I’m unable to accept dogs who are aggressive toward people or other animals so that I can keep everyone safe and comfortable. I also telework multiple days per week, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks and plenty of attention throughout the day. Whether your pup wants walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a cozy place to relax, I’m happy to tailor their stay to what they enjoy most! 🐶💕 On weekends, I’m home most of the time. I also work from home multiple days per week, so pets are rarely left alone for long periods. I may occasionally be out for a short time for work, errands, or shopping, but I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, attention, and care throughout the day. In my home, your pet can enjoy a mix of playtime, walks, relaxation, and social time with our resident pup, depending on their personality and comfort level. For care in your home, I’m available for drop-in visits and sitting, including check-ins, playtime, potty breaks, and walks. I’m happy to tailor their care to their individual routine and needs. For boarding I will require proof of vaccination/current flea prevention. I will not accept behaviors or aggressive dogs in my home unfortunately.
About: Hi! I’m Abby 🐾 I’m a lifelong animal lover and would love the opportunity to care for your furry family members while you’re away! I have 3 years of experience caring for all kinds of cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic pups who need a good walk and playtime to laid-back dogs and cats who just want some company and cuddles. I’m experienced with walking, feeding, giving pets attention, and keeping them on their normal routines. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, so I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’m also happy to send plenty of updates and pictures while you’re away so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for! Whether your pet needs a walk, a meal, some playtime, or simply a little extra love and attention, I’d be happy to help. I’d love to meet you and your pets and become someone you can count on whenever they need care! 🐶🐱❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine! I enjoy spending my free time with animals, whether that means going for a walk, stopping by for a visit, playing with a kitty, or giving a pet some extra attention and cuddles. I’m able to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, meals, and care they need. I’m dependable and flexible, and I’m happy to work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep them as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away. I follow their normal routines closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any other instructions you provide. I know pets can feel more comfortable in their familiar environment, so I give them plenty of attention and companionship while allowing them to stay in the space they know and love. I’m respectful of your home and will always leave things clean and just as I found them. I’m also happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for! 🐾❤️
About: I am currently training to be a certified veterinary technician and can use my knowledge to ensure your pet is as safe with me as possible. I love to raise/ care for animals so even though I do it as a job. Just a little extra thing I can do for the community. Puppy/kitty proof home like a baby and always like to familiarize myself with the environment before I care for a pet. I will also want any contact information and medical history of each pet to understand them.
“Beth is amazing with Oakley. She is our neighbor she does such a great job that we told her she should sign up with Rover so she can spread her love of animals. Oakley always gets so excited to see her. Thanks Beth. Kevin R”
“Cody was great! I had a last minute event pop over the weekend and needed to scramble to find someone to stop in a couple times. Cody responded quickly and helped me out tremendously.”
“Ella took my last minute booking request twice now and she is amazing. Jude and Canela love her. She kept me updated, she was professional and punctual. I would definitely have Ella watch my dogs again!”
“This experience has been just phenomenal! Donna was very patient with my girls and her daily checkin was what I waited for every day I was away! What a pleasure to find a wonderful service that does exactly what they say they'll do! Thanks again!”
“Ingrid completed 3 drop in visits for my old kitty cat named Phantom. She sent me detailed updates and photos everyday. Phantom has an issue with going potty outside the box and Ingrid replaced the per pads, cleaned up a kitty mess in the kitchen and I came home to a clean litter box. I would highly recommend Ingrid!”
“Jazmin was great! She was so patient and kind to our anxious pup. She came over early to meet her, and stuck around to make sure Bella got acclimated. Thank you Jazmine!”
“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”
“Gaolah was wonderful. She did a meet and greet without hesitation. I have a 15 year old dog that can’t stay in her crate for extended time so Faolah came two different times and let her out to potty stretch her legs get a drink and some food. She communicated well, did as I asked, good with Crickett. I will cerise her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hastings
Nathalia took excellent care of my 17-year old cat who is fragile & needs lots of care, including medications. He’s also shy & afraid of strangers. Nathalia got him to come out of hiding & accept her attention which was amazing! She kept daily contact with picture & videos, so comforting! I would highly recommend Nathalia to anyone & know that she has expertise in caring for cats, dogs & other pets as well.
We started using Callie because our busy work schedules made it difficult to get home to let our dogs out during the day. She has been an absolute lifesaver! Our dogs adore her and get so excited every time she comes to visit. Callie is kind, reliable, and incredibly responsible, and we feel completely at ease knowing our pups are in such good hands. We could not recommend her more highly, and we plan to keep using her services for as long as possible!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Hastings is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $30 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 October 2026, there are 4,591 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Hastings. 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 .
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hastings. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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 .
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.
