If your concern is the big valve in your home that shuts off water to your home, then the next shutoff valve is located in your front yard where your water meter is. You can shut off the water there. Look for what looks like a small manhole cover with a nut on it. Open it up, find the valve and turn it off. If it is the valve in your yard then that is the water company's problem. Only they can shut off valves further up the line to repair that one, and besides it's their equipment.
The hot water shut off valve is bad. Not a big problem. Shut off the water to the house where it comes in. There should be a shut off valve. If you have a shut off at the hot water heater do the same. Not a bad idea to turn off or put the hot water heater in vacation mode. 1)Turn on your hot water faucet and drain it off. 2)Get some towels and a bowl or bucket to catch the residual water. 3)Get a wrench and remove the shut off valve for the hot water side under the sink. 4)You will need to remove the fitting that is the connection tube that provides hot water up to the faucet. Just disconnect it from the shut off valve.
