“We were so happy to find Kelsi to spend the night with Dollar. This was our first time using Rover and we would definitely recommend Kelsi and will likely try to book her again. Dollar loved her as well as we saw in the pic updates she sent.”
“Dreonna came and stayed with our dog for the week. She was very responsive and sent updates and pictures every day. She took extra special care of him and provided all the love and attention he demanded. Dreonna was very accommodating and flexible with our flight times and making sure our dog was cared for before leaving our house. She kept our home picked up, washed her bedding, and kept up with housekeeping tasks. Our dog loved her! We have already booked her for another stay with our dog!”
“Beth was awesome. She took loving care of our 5 year old dog and 14 year old cat. We got pictures every day and updates on them. We already have her booked to stay with our crew in December! So glad we found her”
About: Hello! My name is Sydney and I am 22. I have had multiple dogs and cats during my lifetime whom I’ve helped train and care for. I have also taken care of many neighbors, coaches, and friend’s pets for extended periods of time and I can handle just about any kind of dog from a little dachshund to a pitbull. I am currently available most days of the week with pretty big flexibility. I would love to fill up as much time as I can with your furry friends, so reach out with any request and we can likely make it work! I am very active and love to take dogs on walks or runs around the neighborhood with me and have experience with less friendly pets. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
“We did our first overnight with Natasha and Astrid. Astrid was very well taken care of and a very Happy girl! We can't wait to have Natasha watch Astrid again in the very near future!!!!! Thanks Natasha for taking such good care of our furbaby!!!!”
“Julia was a great companion and caregiver for our dog this weekend. She was attentive and communicated well with us regarding her time with him. The house was well kept and all his needs were met!”
“Cari was a fabulous pet sitter. She communicated well and we were very happy with the care she provided our goldendoodle. Definitely will book with her again and recommend others to.”
About: I am flexible. As a substitute teacher I am able to work different times throughout the week and weekends are generally open. I can generally make anything work. I work 8:30-4:05pm most weekdays but am free in the evenings and weekends. Communication is key, and I can make most things work with my schedule. I cannot do service in home but can do walks and sitting at your home. I currently live with roommates so this is unrealistic for me:
“Tanya is an amazing person she cares for our cookie so wonderful and cares about her as if she was her pup, we appreciate her, when we get home our house is always cleaned and taken care of, Tanya is our person that we trust very much with our fur baby!!! I would definitely recommend her,”
“Sharron did an amazing job watching Walter our bull dog. We highly recommend her as she is reliable, great at communicating, and overall she does very well with taking care of dogs. Thank you, Sharron, for watching our boy and the house. You did an amazing job.”
“Hailey was super amazing! Great communication, and very friendly. Kept me updated throughout her stay so I knew what was going on, which was very much appreciated.”
“Bailey was a great sitter for our pets and home. She kept us up to date on how they were doing with fun pictures - and went above and beyond the care we asked for with longer walks and play time.”
“Very happy with Jade’s care and stay at our home. She brought a caring calm that was great for our dog. She was respectful of our home and followed our tips for the dog care. We’ll be booking with her again!”
“LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE, Maliah! She's welcome back anytime! Mace absolutely LOVED her and so incredibly happy to have been blessed with this result being a 1st time Rover user! :). THANK YOU!”
“Vicki watched our girls for 8 days while we were out of town and she took such great care of them! She brushed them, let them out and gave them lots of cuddles. We are so happy our girls were in such good hands!”
“Kallyn is a consummate professional and fantastic at what she does! This was our first time booking with Kallyn and I think we’ve found our forever pet and house sitter. From our initial consult, where she came to our home and spent over an hour getting to know our dogs (I was impressed with the questions she asked from medical needs to our dog’s preferences), to the numerous photos and updates throughout her stay, you can tell she cares deeply about each animal and it was evident our pups enjoyed every minute with her. The peace of mind that provided me was worth every penny and then some.”
“Autumn is such an amazing dog sitter, I wish I could give her a 10 star rating! She takes such good care of our 2 dogs, so much exercise and love while we are gone. She’s a gift to doggy parents!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hazelwood on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 2,708 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Hazelwood. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Hazelwood 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 Hazelwood 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 Hazelwood 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 98% 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.
