Pet Sitting Hastings

“Gracie did a great job and very reliable!”

Jeff E.

About: I’ve grown up around animals and genuinely love caring for them like they’re part of the family. I’m reliable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages and temperaments. I pay close attention to routines, feeding instructions and medications. I’ll always keep you updated with photos and check-ins to give you peace of mind. I work a flexible hybrid schedule - 3 days in office, 2 days at home. When we leave our dog home alone to roam the house Monday - Friday, she is alone 8:00 to 12:00 and 1:00 to 5:00 with a mid-day lunch and potty break. We have a 2-year-old 75 lb Pyredoodle who LOVES to play and wrestle, so your dog will have a built-in buddy. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime and exercise. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds. Our home is smoke-free and kid-free.

“Bonnie was very easy to work with and did such a great job taking care of our boy while we were away. Will definitely contact her again in the future.”

“Cassondra has been doing an amazing job with my 10-week old Corgi! Getting a new job and a new puppy at the same time was not on my bingo card and I found myself unsure how to manage all this. Enter Cassondra who has been a lifesaver. She visits twice a day to let Juniper outside and plays with her. She’s helped to clean up a couple accidents… because, that’s what happens with puppies. I don’t know what I would do without her. I appreciate her communication and pictures she sends too!”

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! If you have an animal outside of dogs and cats that you need a sitter for, please reach out! I am a full time veterinary technician student, but I have lots of free time! My classes range from 4-8 hours, but I am willing to stay with your beloved pets for the time I am not in school! I loved to go sit outside with my dog when he would go 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 also ask to know the rules that your pets should follow and if there’s specific needs that I need to meet! If you live in Hastings, Cottage Grove, Apple Valley, Inver Grove Heights, Woodbury, Farmington, Lakeville, Lake Elmo, Afton or Stillwater and are looking for a sitter feel free to message me! Sadly, I am not currently servicing the twin cities.

“Highly recommend Kallyn to watch your pets! She was great at communication, has a lot of experience taking care of animals, and genuinely cares about their well-being. I know my senior cat was in excellent hands!! I will definitely ask kallyn to take of my pets in the future.”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I've helped take care of them, walk them, and kept them company. I'm detail oriented and do my best to do everything according to direction. I'd be happy to help take care of your animal. I'm currently not working, so I have plenty of time to work with your pets! I'm available most days, best in the afternoon. I'm detail oriented and will make sure your dogs are leashed or harnessed the way they should be. When I'm walking I try to be very aware of my surroundings and will keep up that care with your dogs.

About: I would love to take care of your fur baby🐶🐾 I truly believe our pets are our family, and they deserve to be treated with patience, love, and attention. I’ve grown up with huskies and understand their energy, intelligence, and big personalities. I had a husky growing up, and now I rescued one of my own — so I’m very used to daily walks, playtime, structure, and staying active. I’m also a foster mom, which has given me experience with dogs of different temperaments, backgrounds, and needs. Caring for foster dogs has taught me patience, adaptability, and how important it is to make every dog feel safe and comfortable. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs — from small Yorkie/Shih Tzus to big Labs. I’m comfortable with different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have experience administering medications, including oral medications, eye drops, ear drops, and other basic care needs. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in capable and attentive hands. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my routine! I currently work in the service industry, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule. My usual days off are Wednesdays and Thursdays, which allows for extended availability those days. On most other days, I’m available for morning walks and check-ins if you reach out in advance. Since I already have an active routine with my own dog, adding walks and care for your pup fits in perfectly. I’m happy to communicate and coordinate to find times that work best for both of us! 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re part of my family, with care, respect, and plenty of love. My husky has gone through several training courses, so I’m used to teaching commands, helping with training, and teaching new tricks when needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I create a calm and positive environment, supervise them closely, and adapt to each pet’s personality. You can trust that your furry family member will be in loving hands! 🐾

“Jessica was a great care giver for our cats while away. She stopped in and spent time with each kitty, took many pictures for us, and was a great communicator. We appreciated her reasonable rates and sweet and caring manner. We would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind for your fur baby while way.”

“Emily was the best! We had never used Rover and she made sure we felt comfortable trusting her with our baby. She was so responsible and took such good care of our Jeanie dog. We got pictures of them playing, she was on time, and made sure she did her deeds outside before she left. We were so happy with how the whole process went and Jeans was a happy dog upon our arrival home.”

About: I’m a passionate dog lover who’s spent years providing exceptional care to dogs of all breeds and ages. My journey began long before my beloved heart dog, whose companionship deepened my commitment to love, patience, and understanding in caring for furry companions. I believe every dog is unique and deserves to feel safe, cherished, and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart - Heartfelt commitment: My genuine love for dogs drives me to create a nurturing environment where each pet feels at home. I respect the emotional bond between pets and their owners and work to maintain the pet’s comfort in the owner’s absence. - Puppy expertise: I use positive reinforcement to support good behavior, healthy socialization, and plenty of playtime for puppies. - Senior dog care: I provide compassionate, specialized care for senior dogs, from gentle exercise routines to medication administration, ensuring their comfort and wellbeing. - Personalized attention: I learn each dog’s personality, preferences, and routine so I can tailor care—whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles—to make their stay enjoyable and stress-free. With a heartfelt approach and commitment to excellence, I guarantee your furry family member will receive the love, attention, safety, and care they deserve while you’re away. As a self-employed entrepreneur, I have the flexibility to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily and weekly routine. This allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to your furry family during their stay. Whether it's providing companionship, engaging in playtime, or adhering to their feeding and exercise schedules, I ensure that your pet receives the care and love they need. My adaptable schedule means your pet will never feel alone, and I can provide consistent support and companionship throughout their time with me. In my home, your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I have a secure, fenced yard where they can play and explore freely. My space is designed to accommodate your furry friend with plenty of room to relax. If you prefer, I can crate your dog for added security, or we can allow them to roam comfortably without a crate during their stay. Rest assured, your pet will feel safe and at home in my care.

“We love this guy! Derek is very friendly, honest, and sincere. It's clear he loves animals and vice-versa. My cats liked him a lot and he was good about following our instructions, and making adjustments as needed. We will definitely use him again! Highly recommended.”
