“Alex did a great job taking care of our pups! He sent a bunch of update photos and the dogs warmed right up to him! Qlwe will def be contacting him again, thanks Alex!”
“Latasha was wonderful! From the beginning she came for a meet and greet and got down on the floor with my Percy! She asked very specific questions about his routine and wanted to ensure he was as comfortable as possible. During her stay she was very interactive with Percy. Took him on outings and walks and made sure he had plenty of play time and attention. On a night of a storm she let Percy sleep in bed with her to help comfort him!! Any concerns she had she messaged me immediately. She was great about sending updates and pictures to make sure I felt he was in good hands which definitely decreased my worries. Latasha treated my home with respect and left my home just as she found it. She even helped me with my newly planted garden to ensure it stayed watered while I was away. I will definitely use Latasha again in the future.”
“We found Heather very last minute after our other dog sitter cancelled on us. Heather came in and helped with our very anxious 2 year old Nia. She came in and was greeted by a very anxious and scared Nia but was very patient with her and Nia eventually came around and by the end, they were best buds. Heather also helped with our very old cocker spaniel who is deaf and not the greatest at going outside to potty. We can’t say enough kind words about Heather. She is caring, responsible and has vet tech experience. We will definitely use her again!”
“We are a repeat customer for Ginger. Ginger has a love of animals and especially our 80 pound Doodle, Lupin! We can always count on her taking excellent care of Lupin and our home when we are away. Everything is always perfect when we get back home. Looking forward to our next trip in which we will again be using Ginger! Thank YOU!”
“She was simply great! We have 2 fluffy huskies and one is diabetic, which means that has a VERY rigid and strict schedule and also requires injections. Taylor was on point with updates via texts and followed every single direction we have her. Absolutely amazing job! We'll be coming back to her 100%”
“Madyson was great! She always responds and kept me up to date. Luna loved her from the beginning! She is normally scared but was drawn to Madyson almost immediately! The house was well kept and Luna was happy! I already have her booked for my next upcoming trip!”
“Rachel was amazing. She was very accommodating and communicative. She treated our pets like her very own and she is definitely a dog lover. We will definitely hire her again. Thank you Rachel!!”
“Look no further if you’re looking for someone to love your fur baby! Melissa did an amazing job taking care of our Bailey! She even went as far as to send us nightly text and pictures! I will definitely be booking her again as Bailey has a new friend!”
About: I have trained puppies, designed programs to solve behavior problems in adult dogs, cared for senior dogs, specializing in multi-dog households with a mix of all the above. I am currently designing software for a start-up idea so my schedule is very flexible. Ideal hours for day visits are between 8am - 9pm, overnight from 7pm - 9am “ish” and always available for emergencies. Different pets have different wants/needs so I will adapt my gameplan accordingly. Each visit will include some form of exercise, training and lots of love. My yard is fenced and my house is puppy-proofed. Lots of soft and shaded places to nap, inside and out. I use pest control and landscaping services so the yard is virtually free of stinging or biting insects and dangerous weeds or flowers. Clients can expect me to care for their pets and their property with utmost respect for house rules, privacy and courtesy.
“This is our second time using Aubrey and were just as happy as the first. Our pups love her, she is very communicative, and she is very respectful of our space. She is our go to sitter!”
“Sara was conscientious in taking care of charlie. She was polite and kept us updated as wo how our 14 yr old pet was doing. She followed directions well and will use her again.”
“Colleen stood out immediately from other caregivers because of her focus on details and learning everything necessary to provide the best care for our dogs during her pre stay visit. She asked many thorough questions and took faithful notes about our pups many needed medications, special diet, health conditions and outdoor routines. We could tell how important it was to her that our dogs receive the right amount of attention and the least possible disruption during our absence. Because our dogs are seniors and may react if left alone for too long, she cheerfully arranged her schedule to stay throughout the day and overnight. Colleen also asked about our home, any expected visitors, watering of plants, how we wanted the mail and packages handled, along with any areas the pups were not allowed. She made sure she had our vet's information, along with a nearby neighbor she could call if needed. Colleen also sent many pictures and videos so we could see for ourselves that they were having a good time and in good hands. Her professionalism gave us the confidence and comfort level to enjoy our time away from home. As a welcome bonus, linens were washed, dried and dishwasher had been run. If any of these things are important to you then we would strongly recommend you consider hiring Colleen.”
“Em did an amazing job taking care of my Frenchie and kitty over the holidays. She looked after them for over 10 days in my home and sent consistent photos and status updates. When I returned home, my house was exactly how I left it, and she went above and beyond by washing the towels and bed linens she used. Most importantly my fur babies were happy and healthy and didn’t seem to miss me much 🥲”
“We LOVE Tea!!!! Our boys looked so happy and relaxed in the photos and when we got home they were excited to see us but showed no signs of stress or desperation. Our home also felt warm, clean and smelled beautiful! Thank you Tea!! We hope you felt comfortable and happy in our home too ❤️”
“We will absolutely be booking Molly's services again, if she's free of course! WOW. From the timeliness, attention to detail, communication, photos, down to sweeping our floors (we have hairy pups), there is not a detail that was missed. Not to mention she's a very kind person, who makes you instantly feel comfortable. I could tell our girls had been walked and loved on while we were away!”
“We are so happy with our experience with Madeline! She was sweet and took great care of our dog and our house while we were away. Madeline was punctual, respectful, able, and made sure Levee was well taken care of. We would love to have her again in the future!”
“We can’t say enough terrific things about Savory and her week-long stay with our dog and kitten. She was just the best!!! From the very first message we sent to Savory asking for pet-sitting help, she was extremely responsive, professional, and friendly. She came over twice to meet our pets and go over their needs and that of the house, and we found her knowledge of animal care and her experience with animals to be very comforting. (This was the first time we had an in-home, overnight pet sitter.) Savory gave us regular updates, photos, and videos of Copper and Milo, chatting with her at least once a day, and she followed all of our instructions 100%. She went above and beyond to bring in packages, change out the litter bags in the robotic smart boxes, and she took our dog Copper to the park for a long walk. In addition, she took it upon herself to wash her sheets and towels, remake the bed, and vacuum/clean up the living room. Her initiative and thoughtfulness were so appreciated. Finally, when our kitten Milo started displaying some symptoms of an upper respiratory illness, she called us right away. We will definitely be using Savory again, and we would recommend her to anyone needing a sitter for their pets.”

We are so happy and glad we hired Leah and Mara and Sydnie! Amazing job, SUPER communicative, and so on point with our pets! They took care of our bearded dragons and cats. I was really thankful they also communicated when wind storms broke part of our fence and made sure everything was still ok in our house. Would love to hire them again next time we need a sitter! 10/10 recommend!
Heather was amazing, from our meet & greet to the end of her stay with Lily. She's a great communicator, and was great with lily who has some separation anxiety. She even taught lily a few new tricks! Took care of the house as if it were hers. I super appreciate Heather and would definitely recommend.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hazelwood on Rover is $37.45 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 1,694 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hazelwood. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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.
