“Morgan is the best! She does a great job with my anxious pyrador. She is great at giving meds on time and communicating throughout the visit! Makes my stays away without worry!”
“Our second time doing business. She does a great job and gave my babies lots of cuddles. Does well with my blind baby helping her around outside and to her bowls. Good communication with her both times.”
“My Layla absolutely lovesssss Chelsei! Shes so great with my dog and very great with communicating with me. She goes above and beyond to make sure my baby is comfortable and happy anytime I’m away. She’s my dog’s furever friend 💕”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, and I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities. In my previous job at a pet care facility, I worked with dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities from bouncy puppies to seniors needing meds. I followed feeding routines carefully, kept play safe and positive, and made sure every pet felt comfortable and loved. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, keeping their routines steady, sending plenty of updates, and giving them lots of attention. You can travel with peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and plenty of time for pet care! I’m available all day on weekends. And during the week, I only have class 11 to 12:50 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and 2:40 to 3:55 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Outside of those short class times, I am very flexible for walks, drop ins and lots of attention! I treat pets like my own, and I follow your care instructions closely. In your home, I’ll be respectful and safety minded, double check doors and gates, stay alert to your pet’s behavior, and keep routines steady, feeding, meds, walks, litter. I’ll keep things calm and tidy, send updates so you feel connected, and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Renee was an amazing find! So helpful and flexible with my last minute travel plans. Was amazing with my special doggies, made them comfortable enough in her home for them to settle right in (which is not typical 1st day behavior for them). Thanks so much! 🤗💝🎉🐶🦮”
About: My goal is to gain more hands-on experience caring for large dogs. I've been around large breeds throughout my life, as many of my friends and family have owned them. I'm already comfortable interacting with bigger dogs and have experience walking, feeding, and helping care for them. I'm excited to build on that experience and become an even more confident and knowledgeable caregiver. I’m currently working part time in Little Rock, and I’m also a full time online college student. My schedule will be flexible enough for me to look after your dog for a day or two! When I’m with your dog, they are my top priority. I will keep an eye on them and keep them company at all times, and of course give them all the love they deserve.
“Alaina was so great with our large pup Cooper. He was so well cared for and we received frequent updates. Cooper loved his walks and cuddle times - we have already booked Alaina for two more stays.”
About: Hi, I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 10 years of dog sitting experience and a nearly 5 year old golden doodle of my own. I genuinely love spending time with dogs, whether that means long walks, playtime, or just hanging out and offering plenty of belly rubs. I understand how important routine, patience, and trust are, and I care for every dog like they’re part of the family. Working remotely allows me the flexibility to be available throughout the day for walks, outdoor play, and consistent, attentive care tailored to each dog’s needs. I care for pets as if they are my own by following their routines, providing regular walks and play, maintaining a calm environment, and offering consistent, attentive care.
About: I have had my own cat since I was 4 years old and I grew up caring and watching over her and she is still by my side to this day. Throughout the years I have taken care of other animals within my family and my friends. I have more knowledge and experience with cats but I would love to watch over dogs more often. I have a job at Starbucks and my schedule fluctuates but I get my schedule three weeks prior and I am willing to work with anyone to be sure I can give their animals the care they need. Currently, I am treating my cat of her hyperthyroidism and early signs of kidney disease. I give her her medicine on a set schedule, a full dosage in the morning and a half-dosage at night. And even if work overlaps with that time I am sure to be flexible so I can get to her in time for her medication.
“Macheala was a pleasure to have watch our pups. She was very sweet with them and very communicative with us the entire time. 10/10 experience. We will definitely hire her again soon.”
“Raven was wonderful! When she came for a “meet and greet”, 3 out of 4 of our cats immediately came out to see her, which is unusual with strangers. During our trip, Raven took great care of our dog and cats. She communicated frequently and sent some photos, too. I definitely recommend her and will absolutely book her again!”
About: For the past two years, I’ve cared for my neighbor’s pets while they were away, including overnight house sitting and daily routines. I provided consistent feeding, walking, playtime, and lots of love. I’m reliable, respectful of others’ homes, and treat every pet like they’re my own. During the summer, I am available Mondays and Fridays all day, and evenings after 5 PM on Tuesdays through Thursdays due to my internship. Once the school year begins, I am a full-time student at UCA, but I remain available for weekend care, evening drop-ins or walks, and overnight stays with advance notice. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and coordinate care that fits both our schedules! I have two dogs of my own that I care for daily, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I’ll treat your pets with the same attention and compassion I give my own, ensuring they get the care they need and deserve.
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. Since high school, I’ve walked neighborhood dogs, pet sat for friends, family, and neighbors, and fostered kittens to prepare them for their forever homes. I know every pet has unique needs, and I take pride in providing patient, reliable, and loving care. As a medical student, you can count on me to be attentive, communicative, and trustworthy while your pets are in my care. As a fourth-year medical student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week. I keep my availability updated and communicate promptly, so you can count on reliable care and regular updates while you’re away. I’m a fourth-year medical student with a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week. I have experience administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with special needs. I’ll treat your pet like my own while keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’m a college student in Health Sciences, so I have an intense care of others and animals. I ensure all humans and animals are loved and feel safe! I’m a college student who works part time, I’m always in Central Arkansas majority of the days. I tend to linger in Conway, Little Rock or Cabot. I will play with your little furry friends and cuddle with them. Tend to their needs. I will also send pictures of them because who doesn’t want cute pictures of their furry friends!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 15 years! I truly believe that dogs weren’t sent on this earth to be our little angels. I would give your little furry friend all the loves he or she could handle while you’re gone away at work or even vacation! ❤️ I’m currently part time at my job and I was looking to make some extra money while I’m not in school. What better way to do that than to spend it with your fur babies!? I’m pretty flexible. Just send me a message and we will work something out! ☺️ I can not bring any dogs over to my house, unfortunately because I have five dogs. Not sure how they would feel about me bringing over your furry friend. I would be more than happy to come over to your house and let them out, play with them, cuddle them, make sure they were fed and had water. When it was time for me to go, I will provide kisses and hugs to your lil pup. Free of charge! 😊
“Great job she is amazing with the dogs, and she left house in great shape. She was on time and very professional. We have booked her for another weekend in December. So glad to have someone we can trust to take care of our fur babies while we are away. Highly recommended.”
About: I can drop in and/ or walk a dog anytime. I own two big dogs at home in Arkansas (Doberman, & a coonhound/German shepherd mix ) , I took them both to some training. I have owned smaller dogs as well. I am in law school . I have transportation. I can take animals to vet for you, of course you would have to pay for their visit and gas money. I can come over to feed them. I can occasionally stay and pet sit. I currently have a kitten. I am in law school online and substitute teach on the side, so I have a lot of availability but need to plan in advance. I cannot watch at my apartment. But I can be very flexible for your needs, such as walks, visits, taking to appointments, brushing, washing, feeding

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Preston
Samantha did a great job house sitting and taking care of Max and Luna while I was away. I appreciated having someone stay in my home and look after my fur babies. Thank you for taking care of them and my home while I was gone! I would recommend Samantha to others looking for a sitter.
Mrs. Vicky is the best dog sitter I’ve ever had. My dog absolutely loves her & I do too. She’s very good with my dog, she does lots of playtime, treats, etc. She goes above and beyond every time. I always hate leaving my dog but I always know she’s in good hands with Mrs. Vicky. I always get lots of updates and pictures which I enjoy. Overall 10/10 experience every time!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Preston is $33 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $33 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 Preston 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 Preston 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 Preston 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 Preston. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
