“Jen is amazing. She took great care of our dogs. Calming one down when I balloon landed in the back yard! She followed our instructions to the letter and even brought in our trash/recycling containers without being asked. She communicates and sends updates and pics, which we REALLY appreciate! We can enjoy our trips knowing Jen is with them!!!”
“My mind was completely at ease while Brandi was sitting with our dog. When we had our meeting prior to the weekend she sat for us, Brandi was thorough with her questions for me which gave me confidence that she knew what she was doing. She gave us updates and by the pictures she sent I could tell Leia was happy and loved on. We will definitely have her sit with Leia again.”
“Malia watched my animals (2 cats, 1 dog). I enjoyed the pictures and updates from her. The animals were well cared for and the house kept up on my return. Definitely appreciated the care!”
“Justelle did an excellent job of caring for our fur babies while we were gone! She went above and beyond by collecting our mail and watering our plants as well. She kept us well-informed and always responded promptly. We look forward to having her stay at our house again!”
“Anna was a fabulous dog sitter and we would not hesitate to hire her again! Excellent communication and care of our dog and our home. Our dog is an XL, energetic mix with a big personality who is dog reactive, so we did a trial walk before the sit and Anna adeptly adapted to our dog's routine. Thank you again!”
“We LOVE how much Shalindra loves our dogs, and they love her! She keeps us thoroughly updated and sends plenty of pictures and videos so we know they’re doing well. She is someone who you know just adores spending time with dogs, which helps us know she’s enjoying her time with our pups, even if one of our dogs is insane haha. Highly recommend Shalindra if you want someone to truly enjoy hanging out with your pups and update you along the way.”
“Grace took great care of Astro and our house. She kept us up to date on how he was doing and was very responsive to our communications. We would definitely have her watch Astro again.”
“Lillian was a great sitter for my senior dog and I would happily book her again! She was proactive, communicative, and professional. I appreciated her thorough updates on my dog and all the cute photos she sent. I could tell when I got home from my trip that my dog was well cared for and relaxed and that Lillian was attentive to him and respectful of my home. Highly recommend!”
“I have never been more comfortable with any other sitter before. Eric sent multiple updates throughout the day. Petunia was very happy. Would definitely recommend Eric.”
“Janine did a great job watching our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands, and they were happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely trust Janine to watch them again and highly recommend her.”
“Sanuthi did a fantastic job taking care of our cats and house while we were away. She thoroughly reviewed what we do for them and asked great questions, and I felt very comfortable leaving our cats and home in her care. She sent messages and pictures while we were away, and everything seemed to go smoothly! I would definitely hire her again!”
“Jessie did a great job with our pets! She stayed in our home which really made us feel that our pets got all the love they deserve while we were on vacation. Jesse is very accommodating and communicated very well. We plan to book with her again! We came home to a clean house and happy pets.”
“Our dog, Layla, took to Iris quickly and she seemed to have a great connection with her (Layla is very "stranger danger" sort of dog). Working with Iris was great and we will definitely use her services again - and soon.”
“Our first time with Kseniia and she was super respectful, honest, kind and great with the dogs. Respectful to our home and the boundaries she and us have. Recomend her with full confidence if you need someone!”
“Anna was an excellent pet sitter. She gave our cat and dog very special attention, met our dog’s high energy level needs, and left everything in great condition. We have healthy pets but Anna made sure to take a thorough history including allergies and underlying medical conditions. I could not recommend her services more.”
“Russell was great with our older dog and cat. He kept us updated and took our dog on great walks. He also took good care of our home. Even watered plants without being asked. He can be relied upon ti take great care of pets and home”
“Junbo stayed overnight in my home for multiple nights and took wonderful care of my dogs. She sent lots of updates, photos, and videos, and it was clear from every one how happy, comfortable, and well loved they were. I really appreciated her communication and the peace of mind she gave me while I was away. My dogs were relaxed, content, and clearly well cared for — which matters most. I would absolutely book Junbo again and recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive sitter. 🐾💛”
“Alex was the perfect weekend buddy for our two pitbull mixes. They showed up right on time for the meet and greet, and seemed happy and patient to be around the dogs. During the pet sitting, we received several updates and dog photos which we always appreciate. We came back to our home exactly how we had left it. We would definitely book Alex again, and would recommend them to others as well!”
“Georgia was awesome caring for our three small dogs for four days on short notice. She quickly learned the pups' personalities and became their best friend. It was great knowing our house/dog sitter wasn't just a warm body keeping them fed, but was happy to be part of their daily routine. Her daily photos were creative and brought us joy while we were on vacation. I'll be eager to book Georgia again the next time we need a house/pet sitter!”

Gabrielle is a stellar pet sitter and house sitter. Brodie and Luca were calm and cheerful when we returned from a 10-day trip, and the house was nice and clean. We got regular updates and photos, and we felt confident that the dogs were well cared for. We will definitely use Gabby again.
We just moved to Seattle from Chicago and needed to find a new trustworthy sitter for our very active 2 year old Doberman and our cat. David was amazing with both our pets and made them feel very comfortable while we were gone. He was very responsive and provided us with many photos and updates leaving us with nothing to worry about while we were away. He also left our home in perfect condition as he was staying with the pets for a few days. Highly recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future 😊
Chase was a fantastic sitter for our anxious Boxer Duke. We had a last-minute request, and her communication and accommodation were top notch. Our meet and greet the day of was effortless and comfortable, with Chase asking all the right questions and immediately bonding with our boy. We had to leave before her arrival, and she updated us both when she arrived and before she left.
Tamara has been wonderful - she took great care of my dog. She’s also very responsive and easy to communicate with which is so important to me when leaving a pet behind. I love it when pet sitters ask questions and try to work with me in terms of setting expectations. Tamara was great overall and I would definitely be asking her for her availability when we travel in the future.
Caleb and Nicole were wonderful with our fur babies during our wedding! This was our second time booking with them, and once again they were flexible, trustworthy, communicative, and incredibly easy to work with. They sent lots of great photos, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. We would happily recommend them and absolutely plan to book with them again!
Ingrid took incredible care of Morticia while we were out of town for 4 days. She provided attentive care, playtime, and administered medication while we were gone. Morticia was in a great mood and showed health improvements when we came home. Ingrid provided daily photo updates and asked clarifying questions about Morticia’s care. Thank you for taking such good care of Morticia, Ingrid— we will definitely book again!
kristen was amazing! i have to admit—i was nervous! this was our first time leaving our puppers for this long. my husband and i went to hawaii for a week and kristen came to stay at our house. not only did she do everything we asked of her, she went above and beyond (administering medication) and messaged us daily with updates, pics/videos…. i was completely as ease the whole time and actually enjoyed my vacation. my pom has separation anxiety and she didn’t cry once while i was gone.. that’s HUGE. i will defo call her next time we leave town. i trust her completely🩷
Katie was seriously the best. 🥹 It was so clear how much she genuinely loved spending time with Indi, and that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She kept us updated, gave Indi so much love and attention, and treated her like she was her own. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, which says everything. You can tell Katie truly loves animals, and we’re so grateful we found her. Looking forward to rebooking again in a heartbeat and honestly can’t recommend her enough. Thank you, Katie! ❤️
Nicole was wonderful with our two sensitive, high energy dobies. They can be slow to warm up to new people. Nicole was fantastic! She did a meet and greet with us to ensure it was a good fit. She was attentive to all our needs while we were away. We will definitely have Nicole back again to care for our pets!

FAQs for House Sitting - Hazelwood
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Hazelwood on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 8,301 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
