“I can't say enough wonderful things about Isabelle! Not only is she kind and caring, but also responsible and trustworthy. My cat tends to be very shy with strangers. She warmed up to Isabelle right away and they became buddies while I was away. I would recommend her house sitting and pet sitting services whole heartedly!”
“When we read Danielle's profile we knew she was the perfect match for our older dog. Danielle was always quick to reply, great with our dog, sent lots of pictures throughout, and kept us informed about how our dog was doing. We also appreciated that Danielle was willing to schedule some meet ups before our booking to get to know our dog, and let our dog get to know her. We booked Danielle to stay overnight, and our house was exactly as we left it. We cannot say enough good things about Danielle, except that we will definitely book her again in the future”

I highly recommend Destiny to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely caring to watch their dogs. I will definitely book with her again! 🐾❤️”
“We hired Virginia to pet-sit on our hobby farm. We have two large dogs, a feisty cat, three horses, two donkeys, 11 chickens, and bees. Though the horses donkeys and chickens can tend to themselves on a short trip she did watch out for them and gave us updates on the horses and donkeys in the pasture and the chickens. She took time every day to let the chickens out and put them away. All three of our pets requires special attention when it comes to food, including medicine. She was able to take care of all of their needs while we were gone. She is thoughtful and kind. She is thorough and very attentive to updating the client. She took lots of pictures and gave us updates throughout the day. I can’t say it enough about how wonderful it was working with Virginia.”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, with 2 dogs and 2 cats since I was 3 years old. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality and needs. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable with animals of different ages and temperaments. I’ve even dreamed of owning an animal shelter one day! I’ll treat your pets with the same care, attention, and affection I would give my own. Starting in mid-May, I’ll have a very flexible schedule and will be available for pet care throughout the week. I’ll likely have another part-time job, but I’ll be able to work my schedule around pet-sitting and make sure I have plenty of time to give each pet the attention and care they need. I’m especially interested in regular or recurring pet-care opportunities and am happy to accommodate different schedules and routines. When house sitting, I treat both your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’m also very respectful of your space and will keep your home clean and secure while you’re away. My priority is making sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for in their own environment, so you can have peace of mind while you’re gone.
About: I have been pet sitting for many years, typically with friends and family. I have been responsible for cats (domestic & feral), dogs, goats, sheep, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, ferrets, guinea pigs, guinea fowls, fish, bearded dragons, geckos and even a millipede! I have also worked with animals in a professional setting for 14 years and I have some veterinary assistant experience. I’m happy to handle extra tasks such as retrieving mail, watering plants and even some light housekeeping. I work full time (4 days per week) but can provide morning and evening care most days. On days off, I can be flexible and as available as your pet requires. I will be as candid as possible about my schedule to ensure choosing me is the best option! In a clients home, I follow all instructions given in regard to their pets care. I ensure the pet is comfortable with me before any handling or petting. I love to send photos and updates to clients letting them see how their pet is doing.
“Michael was great with our dogs (one very high energy)! He was responsive and thorough even though I had limited cell service on our trip away. We will definitely book Michael again! Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of pets for over 10 years, including my own bichon mix Bentley! I enjoy interacting with lots of different pets and have dog sat for multiple neighbors and friends. I am trustworthy, dependable, and pride myself on clear communication. I cannot wait to meet your pet! I work a corporate 9-5 job, and I have a lunch break where I can walk or visit pets (as well as before and after work)! I work from home on Fridays and have flexible weekends, so I am happy to prioritize the needs of your pet! I am very flexible and able to adjust my schedule and environment to cater to your needs. I enjoy walking but am also able to play in a fenced yard if need be!
About: I have taken care of multiple animals throughout my life, mainly elder neighbors who cannot fully take care of their animals because of scheduling conflicts. I prefer overnight visits and stays just to ensure no schedules are disrupted. I currently attend UVA full-time as a Master's Student, and work Saturday nights at a restaurant in Cville. But I always make time for the animals in my life! I have a fenced-in yard, I walk dogs either for short 15/20 minutes, or a longer (5 miles) depending on a breed's needs and requirements. Otherwise, we can lounge and play with toys together.
“Caitlin surpassed our expectations! She gave us peace of mind our fur babies were fully taken care of. She made sure to keep me in the loop with updates and the most adorable pictures. She even brought extra treats that became a favorite. I would recommend her to anyone and hope to use her again in the future! Thank you Caitlin for everything! I know Bear and Coco miss you!”
About: I have been owning pets since I was a child and I have loved animals in general ever since. I’ve cared for young animals to older animals I walk them and bathe them and I just love hanging out with animals! I go to school on Mondays and Tuesdays, and I have a job other days but I only work morning shifts and get off around 5:30–to 6:00 depending on the day! I unfortunately cannot have other animals in my house. I have 6 animals which include one dog and 5 cats, I have a fenced in yard where my dog hangs out to go potty and get some air and my cats have a lot of toys to play with! And I can do the same thing in your house with your fur children!
“Julia did an amazing job taking care of our pets and our apartment. She went above and beyond in taking care of our fish, was communicative and the pets can't wait to have her back.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 11 years old. I am a big animal lover so your pet would be in good hands. They will get a lot of attention, exercise, and love. I am fully able to take care of your pet 7 days a week and all daytime hours. I am available from 6am to 10pm. I can provide a leash if needed and walk only on sidewalks, paths, trails or take them to a nearby park. Safety is my highest priority.
About: Hello. I’m Kat, and I am an experienced sitter who's been taking care of homes and pets through Trusted Housesitters for nearly two years now. At this time, I have 18 recent sits under my belt. I am former membership director of a nonprofit for writers, and these days I’m traveling in my van, house/pet sitting, and working on my own writing. I love animals and grew up in the country with 14 outdoor cats and 3 different dogs. I sat for a lot of professors as a grad student and thought it would be fun to return to that as an experienced adult who has owned her own home and raised two children. As I am looking for home/pet sitting gigs, and I work from home, I have a lot of flexibility to spend time with and caring for your pets. 3-4 hours a day can be spent on pets, home, and indoor and outdoor plants, etc. I do whatever the pet owner does in their home, including cuddles, feeding, brushing, scooping, meds if needed, plus house care, and of course treats!
The median cost per night for house sitting in Crozet is $50
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Crozet
Isabelle is simply incredible! Not only as a dog sitter but a person. She is so sweet, kind, and personable. Our boy is a little shy and reactive to strangers, but she took the time to connect with him. He ended up laying with her and playing (something he has never done with another sitter). So grateful to have found her.
Isabelle stayed in our home with our goldendoodle and took the best care of our boy! We were hesitant to use a rover sitter again after a previous experience, but Isabelle made all those worries go away. She came for a meet and greet and asked lots of good questions, sent daily updates and photos and we could tell our pup was happy and relaxed. We were able to enjoy vacation knowing he was in good hands, and came home to a spotless house. Isabelle is the best!
Laura is very pleasant and my dog seemed to warm up quickly to her. I heard from my neighbor that she was very prompt and on schedule with walks. I did have to request an update on most days. She did send some cute pictures of my pup to ease my mind on her own . Everything seemed to be ok and she was reasonably priced . My dog seemed to be in good spirits when we arrived back home and due to the weather Laura offered to extend the stay if needed and said I could add a night to book. She was very accommodating.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Crozet is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $64 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 Crozet 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 Crozet 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 Crozet 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Crozet. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% 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.
