“Nicole was very kind and responsible. She sent lots of pictures and spent plenty of time making sure my 3 month old puppy was happy and well rested. I would book her again in the future!”
“I can’t say enough great things about Maddy! She recently watched our 2 dogs at our house while my husband and I went on a trip. She sent plenty of pictures, updates and gave our pups lots of love. We were so thankful for Maddy and it gave us great peace of mind to know that our dogs were in good hands while we were away!”
“Daniel took care of our two boys while we were away. He gave them lots of love and attention providing us with daily photos. He was very respectful of house rules. We will be using him in future.”
“Hailey was amazing! She is so kind and professional. My girls loved her! She took such great care of them. She communicated, sent updates, and pictures. Reached out with any questions or concerns. She went over and above taking care of my house, leaving it very clean. I am so happy I found her.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my childhood life and I’m currently loving on two cats in my home❤️ I believe ALL pets deserve the best care and unconditional love throughout their life. Most of my experience comes from puppies and adult dogs (both genders) I have plenty of patience for the pets that need a little extra time to get comfortable. I’m available for morning, midday, and evening walks on Tuesday and Thursday’s. And midday and evening walks on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you need a special time please feel free to reach out! I will ensure that your pet will be safe, comfortable, and cozy in his/her environment or mine. I will also be around the pet constantly to ensure that they are ok and not having any stressful movements with any of the changes.
“Melissa was excellent! Highly recommend and would 100% book again. She sent many pictures of our large (~65 lb) dog throughout the day. She communicated when she arrived and left and even shoveled our driveway when it snowed. She is one of the best rovers we have ever had.”
“Alexis was awesome! She responded quickly to messages and kept us updated with how our cat was doing through our vacation. Our cat can be very hesitant and intimidating in his behavior with new people - Alexis came right in without hesitation and put us to ease that she would work around him. I would absolutely recommend Alexis to someone in the area looking for a cat sitter. We will definitely look to Alexis next time we need cat sitting services!”
“Keirsten and Zeeke hit it off immediately and it was refreshing to see them both have an amazing time while she house sat and took care of our elderly statesman. She provided constant updates, pictures, videos, and made sure to ask all the important questions to take care of our pup. Would definitely recommend.”
“Evelyn was great! She even came for two meet and greets and was undeterred by my rescue dog Roxy’s difficult behavior during the introductions. She managed the fact that my three dogs have different needs very well, and was communicative. I’d highly recommend her, especially if you’re worried about leaving an anxious dog with a sitter.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Leigh! Nick was very well taken care of, and we really appreciated Leigh’s thorough communication throughout. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I have been the "go-to" petsitter for family and friends for almost 15 years. Growing up we have always had animals, so it became natural to me to take care of pets. I love being outdoors and walking my dog, Elvis. I enjoy our adventures and seeing the joy in my neighbors face when we go out and about. I'm comfortable with giving medications if need be. I'm a rescue mom from Berkeley, CA and am very familiar with most breeds. I'm patient and kind to all animals because, quite frankly, I don't believe humans deserve dogs and cats. They're way to good for us. HA! I have open availability and can stay at your home if it makes you comfortable or your "best friend" can stay with us. We have a HUGE backyard and live in a very safe neighborhood north of Baltimore; not to mention ALL OF THE TOYS!!
“Gabriela was a great house sitter for our energetic Aussie pup. Good communication, she sent us lots of pics. and kept him active and well exercised the entire week of our trip and everything was nocely in order when we arrived home. Would definitely recommend her!”
“Michael was absolutely amazing with our sweet big boy for 10 days while we were out of town. Our guy has newly started having seizures and while we hoped he wouldn’t have one while we were gone he ended up having 4. Michael was not experienced beforehand with sitting with dogs who have seizures but made sure to ask all the questions before hand to make sure he knew what to do. And thankfully he did. He even ended up giving our guy a rectal suppository after the regular medications were not working sufficiently and stayed with him until we were home to ensure a safe handoff. To top it off he also checked in with us later to see how Moko was doing. We could not recommend him more. Thank you again Michael!”
About: We have had several cats and dogs over the years. Now we want to give pet parents a break and offer our services to watch your fur babies My husband is retired and I work at home and we have time to walk and see about your pet. We are available during the day and weekends. We will walk them, play with them, feed them and give them the needed attention. Just one request for dogs, they must be potty trained. Cats and dogs must have all their shots.
“Stephanie did did a fantasctic job. Midnight was well cared and the house was immaculate when we returned. We look foward to having Stephanie cat/house sit in the future.”
“Lindsey is amazing!! She is so nice and took great care of our dog. She sent so many photo and video updates and our dog looked happy! She sent updates about bathroom breaks and food too. I also appreciate that she has experience with epileptic dogs so we felt comfortable leaving ours in her care. We already have her booked for another round of overnight sittings!!”
About: I have a passion for animals since I was a little girl. I completed an Animal care class back in HighSchool and earned an Animal care certificate. I have a little Yorkie! My Yorkie's name is Cookie, she's a bit of a barker! I also have a very spoiled cat! His name is Tito. He is LOVED in the house. Animals are a great company to have around and can truly be a best friend. I am gig worker; therefore, I’m available any time a customer may need a service. It’s just a matter of letting me know in advance to prepare for the client. I’m in a very secured townhouse where they will have freedom to run around and I can crate them if needed be. If clients has a yard, I usually supervise them even if it’s fenced.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Manassas
Hailey did an absolutely amazing job with our two large dogs. We got daily updates, dogs looked happy and well cared for. She handled multiple walks per day and a medication routine for one of our senior dogs. Our house was spotless when we returned, plants and other tasks had been taken care of as asked. Honestly we've never had such a great dogsitter experience before. Would highly recommend Hailey.
Evelyn was so sweet and took amazing care of our cat and dog! She’s super adaptable and communicative. We had workers at our house while we were gone and her number 1 priority was making sure our pets weren’t stressed and still felt loved. We’d love to have her again!
We had a wonderful experience with Samantha as our dog sitter! She took great care of our dogs and gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Samantha kept the house clean and tidy, sent us regular pictures and updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy and well cared for. We really appreciated her communication and attention to detail. Highly recommend Samantha to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Elizabeth is terrific!!!!! She is hands down best sitter we’ve ever had. She house sat and dog sat for us for two weeks and sent multiple pictures and communications per day. My dog is very well taken care of, and house left clean. She followed all our instructions for care of the dog and clearly loved our dog. Highly recommend her. We will be using her services again for our next vacation.
Christine took care of my fur baby at my place for a week while I was out of the country. From the very first meeting I could see how good she is with pets, my dog really liked her and knowing she has 5 dogs of her own gave me a sense of peace. She communicated everyday, sending me updates and pictures of my dog while I was away. I was very pleased with the care she gave my dog, I hightly recommend her. I know I will be calling on her next time I need a pet/house sitter.
What an incredible pet sitter! I got multiple photos and updates, and she even brushed my dog! Both he and my home looked great when I returned. Elisabeth asked great questions when I met her and wanted to keep his routine consistent while I was gone. I look forward to working with her again real soon.
France’s was wonderful! Cooper clearly enjoyed her company. She met with us before hand to meet us and Cooper, is very knowledgeable about dogs and caring for them. We were very happy she was available to sit for us. Highly recommend! Thank you again, Frances!

FAQs for House Sitting - Manassas
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Manassas on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 9,014 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Manassas. 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 Manassas 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 Manassas 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 Manassas 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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% 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.
