“Kiera was so patient and gentle with my new rescue. What was supposed to be a 30 minute drop in turned into a 60 minute struggle when he started to freak out and refused to go back in his crate. While others might’ve been scared of him or give up, Kiera worked with him and me to get him safely in his crate as was so understanding about the whole situation. Definitely someone I’d trust to watch my pets anytime as long as she was willing to come back”
“Very friendly family, and they loved my puppy. The son exhausted my puppy perfectly. I got plenty of pictures and updates and great communication! Tracie & Whitney were awesome.”

“Sarahí took care so well of our little Ramon! She was very attentive in her drop-in visits always keeping us posted of our puppies progress as he is very young. Ramon got used to her very quickly and my husband feel extremely comfortable and happy with her disposition! Thank you for your outstanding care Sarahi ?”

If needed we have several rooms for separation, and feed separately as well. The backyard is also fenced in for all dogs to be in.
“Samantha did a great job. She was on time, played with the girls and ensured they were happy while we were gone. We got good photos and she kept us up to date on them. We really appreciate what she did and her willingness to come to the house and let the girls out for us. Great job Samantha!”
“Fern is awesome. I work shift work so I can be gone 24-48 hours at a time. She has been there last minute for my two German shepherds. Communicates clearly and my dogs love spending time with her. She’s awesome!”
“We are thankful that Yi Yi came daily to look in on our 15 yr old cat for several days while we were away. She took good care of her, administered her medicine by eye dropper, and gave her lots of petting and company. She sent lots of pictures and updates on how Zora was doing so we didn't worry. We would definitely use Yi Yi's services again.”

About: Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced pet caregiver with over 10 years of experience working with dogs and 1 year of experience caring for cats. Animals have been a central part of my life, and I truly enjoy building trust with each pet I care for. For the past 3 years, I’ve also been an active foster with Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, caring for dogs in need of temporary homes, and I’ve recently begun fostering cats as well. Through fostering, I’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with animals of all ages, temperaments, and medical needs. I’ve cared for puppies through senior dogs (up to 15 years old), including pets recovering from illness, surgery, and ongoing medical conditions. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific care instructions, and providing calm, attentive support to pets who need a little extra care and patience. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or older and needs a gentler routine, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment. I treat every animal like they’re my own and prioritize communication so you always feel confident while you’re away. Pet care is a consistent and natural part of my weekly routine. I currently foster dogs through Homeward Trails Animal Rescue and also care for foster cats, so my days already revolve around feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, training reinforcement, and monitoring overall health and behavior. I’m used to structuring my day around animal needs, including early mornings and flexible check-ins throughout the day. Because I’ve cared for pets with a wide range of needs—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and animals recovering from illness or surgery—I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to provide reliable, attentive care when needed. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and structured environment for every pet in my care. In my home, I maintain a pet-friendly space that is clean, supervised, and free of hazards, with routines that help animals feel secure and comfortable. I follow each pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and rest time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines and aim to minimize disruption. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medication needs, training guidelines, and any behavioral notes. I also make sure doors, gates, and crates are secured and that pets are always supervised during care. Because of my experience fostering through Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, I’m very comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including anxious animals, seniors, and pets recovering from medical issues. My goal is always to provide consistent, attentive care so pets feel safe and owners feel at ease while they’re away.
About: Hi, I've loved animals my whole life and I'm now a mom to two australian shepherds and three cats! My pets are my babies and they are such an important part of my life. I'll care for yours just like I would my own. Having two energetic aussies has taught me a lot about a dog's physical and mental needs. I've attended regular dog training classes for a year where I learned more about obedience, agility, trick training, and mental enrichment games. I'd love to do some of that with your pups too! Whether it's practicing basic commands, playing scent games or just playing fetch I'm happy to adapt to what your dog enjoys most! I'm a big believer in positive reinforcement and I'd be happy to use treats for rewards with your permission of course! Just let me know if your pet has any allergies or dietary restrictions. I'm also familiar with leash reactivity on walks and understand how important it is to respect each dog's boundaries and comfort level. I'm used to pets who are a little more nervous or anxious around strangers, having rescued feral cats and adopted a rescue dog myself! I totally understand that some fur babies need a little extra patience and I always give them the time and space they need to feel comfortable. I've volunteered at several animal rescues in different places I've lived, taking care of both cats and dogs of different age, breed and needs. I recently moved to the area and would love to continue caring for them in my own way! I love getting to know each pet's little quirks and personality. Whether your fur baby is full of energy or prefers taking things slow, I'll do my best to make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for! I've also had experience caring for rabbits, rodents, cockatiels, and horses, so let me know if you need help with any other pets too. My dream is to basically live on a farm surrounded by animals someday. You can also expect plenty of pictures and updates while you're away. I know how meaningful they are! I'm currently home full-time so my schedule is very flexible, even for last-minute requests. Your pets will always be my priority and I'll do my best to match your schedule. I'm available on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I'm a bit of a night owl so late night drop ins and walks are totally fine with me too. I love spending time with animals and I'll work around your pet's routine as much as possible! As a helicopter mom, I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets in someone else's care, especially when they have their own little habits and quirks. I'll always do my best to adapt to their personality and follow all your instructions. Please feel free to give as many details as you'd like. I'm also happy to administer medication if needed! I'm pretty careful about keeping doors closed and paying attention to my surroundings during walks with the dogs. My focus will be on your pets 100% of the time when I'm with them.

Madison from the moment I first spoke with her showed intent interest in making sure to try to get to know and understand my dog as best as she could. She has an innate talent and comfort around animals and was able to get my boy to trust her within minutes of them first meeting. She always took the time to make sure he was cared for and looked after and always went above and beyond to make sure he was always looked after. I will always feel comfortable having her look after my dog and am confident any pet in her care is in good hands.
Evelyn is an exceptional pet sitter! She is responsible, dependable, and clearly cared deeply for our pets while we were away. She kept us updated, followed all instructions carefully, and made sure our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. One of our pets is a 9week old puppy. I would absolutely recommend Evelyn to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Manassas is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $33 per visit. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 14,276 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Manassas. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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.

- 93% 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.
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.
