“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!!!”
“She was great! We have 3 big dogs and she knew how to interact with them, even our more difficult to handle one. She sent pictures and kept us up-to-date which was so nice.”
“Highly recommend! Shalindra provided a week of in-home care for our two dogs, a guinea pig and a gecko. She was delightful to work with. The dogs took to her very quickly, and she was affectionately patient with their unique/opposite personalities. I especially appreciated her daily photo and video updates, and how careful she was to ask questions and provide details on anything happening at the house. I felt confident all was well cared-for, and was truly able to enjoy the time away because Shalindra had everything covered at home.”
“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!”
“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.”

We received regular updates and pictures of him throughout our trip and were really impressed with Mikayla's communication throughout. We would absolutely book again and recommend Mikayla to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Emily did an awesome job! I really appreciated her coming over beforehand to meet our puppy for the first time. Asked many questions and was very attentive to how we do things in our home. Extremely respectful of our rules and communicative. Received updates throughout the day on potty breaks and play time! I had no doubts she was in good hands. Would certainly recommend Emily to friends and family who need pet sitting. Also thank you for the last min help! :)”
“Justelle always go above and beyond. This is the second time we have had travel delays and she is accommodating and responsive when we are trying to figure out how to pivot when a flight delay keeps us from getting home when expected. Our pets are so happy and our home is tidier than when we left it. It is a welcomed sight when traveling with delays.”
“Iris stayed with our three Dachshunds for four days. She did an amazing job! Iris was attentive to their needs and gave them lots of snuggles which they are so used to! She sent pictures and an update every day which showed how well our babies were doing. I appreciate all the care and attention that she gave our dogs which included administering medication to one of them. I definitely plan to call on iIris again to care for our dogs! ❤️”
“Julie was fantastic! She was wonderful with our 6 month old. She sent photos during the sit. She even changed locations when our lodging fell through and we had to move to a hotel! We were so grateful for her flexibility and understanding. We would certainly recommend her as a sitter!!”
“David was very thorough asking the right questions to make sure he fully understood every detail of the care of my pups.

Thankful to have found David and will definitely use his services again!”

When we got home the dogs were happy and not stressed at all (which they can get even with us). The house was cleaner than we left it! Will definitely book with her again!”

My dog was happy and clearly felt safe and relaxed with her. I’m super grateful she was able to accommodate his needs while I was away.”

Kieran always gives the cutest updates with photos and is super communicative with any potential issues she’s noticing.

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.
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! ❤️

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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
