“Anna did a fantastic job for us. She kept us informed, went above and beyond for our elderly dog and she also took the initiative to do necessary tasks around the house. I would highly recommend her and will certainly book with her again!”
“Shalindra was absolutely wonderful with our pup, Kahlua, while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, even accommodating a last-minute flight delay and staying later than planned on her birthday to make sure Kahlua was cared for. We loved receiving daily updates and photos, and it was clear Kahlua had a great time with all of the park adventures and extra attention. When we returned, Kahlua was happy, freshly bathed, and our home was spotless. Shalindra was incredibly respectful of our house and treated both our dog and our home with so much care. We felt completely at ease knowing Kahlua was in such capable hands and would gladly trust Shalindra again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Eric went above and beyond when he took care of our pets. He provided thorough updates for us while we were gone, and even sent lots of pictures of our babies. When we came home, it was just as clean as when we left it! 10/10 would recommend Eric to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and we hope to book with him again in the future!”
“Jen was so wonderful with our two dogs. She was so good with both and was responsive and easy to work with. She also took very good care of our home while we were away. We would recommend Jen to others and will book her again if schedules allow.”
“Mikayla did an amazing job watching our dog Luna while we were away for the night. We got home to our place cleaner than when we left it and a very tired and well taken care of hound! Couldn’t recommend Mikayla high enough and we will definitely be repeat customers. Thanks for everything Mikayla!!!”
“Toki stayed with my dog and cat for a weekend. He was kind, polite, on time, and gentle with my anxious pup. When I checked in to see how things were going, he responded right away. He sent photos at the end of the visit.”
“Moriah watched my collie mix while I was gone and it was such a pleasure. She did a great job, especially managing my high energy dog and my dog’s medication. I look forward to booking her again next time I need a dog sitter.”
“Elianna took incredible care of our dog and our home while we were gone for a long weekend! She kept us up to date and was a champ dealing with the chaos of us not having service/handling package etc. It’s been a challenge finding a reliable Rover sitter but SO thankful we found her. 💕 Pheebs is excited to see you again in a couple of weeks!”
“Awesome, kind, competent care for our two cats. Julia even got on good terms with our usually grumpy, reclusive, prima-donna cat! Her daily communications were just right in substance and tone.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my dog buddy since I was 15, my cats since I was 14 and I used to take care of my neighbors dog, I use he/him pronouns. I pet sit for members of my family and people around the neighborhood, my hours are flexible I’m able to meet requirements of any family or client. I would always make sure the animal I’m taking care of is fed, hydrated and taken out for the bathroom or walks, I’m fully backgrounded and have very good references.
About: Compassionate nurse that have had small pets all adult life. Cared for senior pup with medication needs, Pups are part of family given love and care. Hypoallergenic dogs only please. I work from home as a nurse. My husband helps with care. We will be able to potty your pup every 2-4 hours and play/cuddles throughout the day with morning and/or afternoon walks. Meals 2-3x/day with approved snacks using stimulated toys. (Lick mat, Kong, snuffle mat.) I have a big fenced yard. I'm an owner of well behaved 2 year old Shih Tzu for socialization and buddy play. My husband is retired and able to assist as needed. Lots of attention and love for your family pup!
About: I grew up with dogs who I was responsible to care for, as well as pet sitting for neighbors and family member's cats and dogs. As an adult I've lived with a roommate and their cat, who I frequently cared for as my roommates traveled out of town frequently. Next I lived with other roommates and their dogs. As I was working from home, I helped a lot with their care. One dog is very nervous and needs a lot of support and reassurance- I am a naturally a very calm person and good at easing and calming animals. The other dog has had some health issues and required medication schedules as well as closely keeping an eye on his behavior and other indicators of health. I've also done a lot of pet sitting and care for my family, including my aunt's senior dog, and my other aunt's large energetic dogs who love to play. I can easily read cat and dog body language and am very attentive to their moods and needs, as well as maintaining a consistent schedule regarding their food, medication, walks, and cleanliness to reduce their stress levels. I am happy to adjust and meet a pet where they are at! I currently work remotely from home, so I can easily adjust my schedule around the needs of your pet. While house-sitting, I am easily able to work from your home to care for your pet during the day, and stay overnight. I will ask for information about your pet's routine as every pet is different. I am extremely comfortable walking dogs on leashes and harnesses, taking them to dog parks if desired, and playing with them in fenced in fields if you pet likes to play fetch. I understand the importance for some pets of a specific feeding and medication schedule will prioritize that for their well being and happiness. I am also comfortable cleaning up after pets, including daily litter box emptying, and light brushing when needed. I have a calm and gentle disposition a lot of pets appreciate but can also be playful when the pet is energetic. I am quite effective at calming down animals and can read cat and dog body language easily. For some pets, a change in their environment like their owner being gone for a trip can be very stressful but the maintenance of routine in addition to comforting company and attention can relieve that anxiety and keep them happy and thriving until you return!
“Puppies (both anxious AND high energy Velcro dogs) were very well taken care of. Updates were plentiful and very detailed. House was clean and better than we left it!”
“Kristen was great! It was a relatively last minute booking, and I have never had my dogs so relaxed after getting back from a trip. I assume that means they liked her too!”
About: I have rasied my own mini Australian Shepherd from puppyhood - full of energy and I have learned how to keep pups both physically and mentally engaged. In addition to raising my own dog, I have also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family over the years. I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes and temperaments. What sets me apart is the level of attention and companionship your dog will receive. I am home most of the time and also extremely patient, detail-oriented and committed to making every dog feel safe and loved. I am home most of the time. This gives me flexibility to provide consistent attention, supervision throughout the day. My own dog is on a regular routine that include morning/afternoon walk, playtime in the backyard. I am able to adjust to your pet's specific schedule and needs. When your pet stays with me, they'll be welcomed into a safe, loving and dog-friendly environment. I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and my home has comfy spots for rest and toys for enrichment.
“Stuart did an amazing job! Gizmo was well cared for and when he got into something on the street Stuart immediately called my vet to make sure he didn’t need to come in, then promptly checked in with me. Also left my apartment very clean!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hazelwood
Dylan was great with our dog! We needed a last minute house sitter for our dog and Dylan was so communicative, kind, and made sure to ask questions to take the best care of our dog. Dizzy warmed up to Dylan quickly and even went looking for Dylan before bed when we came home. We will definitely book with Dylan again.
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.
Lauren was a true joy to work with from start to finish! Great at communication, arrived on time, asked thoughtful questions about our pups routine and left our home spotless; she even left a lovely human treat for US when we arrived home! Murphy took to her caring personality immediately which is not his usual M.O. when meeting new folks. He was obviously well cared for and loved on while we were away. And bonus, she recently graduated from veterinarian school so we were confident she could handle any situation that arose. We’d give her 10 Stars ⭐️ if we could!
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🩷

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 , 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 .
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 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.
