Jade was excellent with June my German Shepherd! She was on time and did everything that we had agreed-upon. She took extra care and giving cuddles and fun time. She also gave attention to mittens my crazy cat. Couldn’t ask for a better Dog Sitter.

About: I have owned dogs throughout my whole life. At one point Our pack totaled 6. I’ve owned 2 horses, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and a cat. I worked as an apprentice vet tech until the veterinarian died unexpectedly of a heart attack. I have recently pursued more education regarding grooming. I have groomed my own dogs and friends dogs over the years. I am conscientious and will never allow a dog to be in pain seeking medical care immediately. I would like it to be part time to start with the option of going full time further down the road. I am working on grooming lessons, and my current part time job. I believe in being observant of their behaviors and to respond accordingly. Our dogs receive much love and play time. They are allowed to be with us and on our furniture. I realize that many owners frown upon that and I will honor their wishes when caring for their pet

About: I have years of experience taking care of many different type of animals. Many of my clients I have had for a long time and they continue to recommend me to more people in need of animal care! My top priority is to ensure the happiness and safety of all animals. I am currently in school and work a part-time job. Most of my availability is on the weekends, but I can be available Wednesdays after 4pm, along with Mondays between 11am-1pm. When caring for pets in client’s homes I can let them out (in a fenced in area or on a leash) for bathroom breaks and play with them for a little bit.

Angelina did drop in house visits for our cat and dog. She was very responsive and caring for them. The first time we've left our dog home while on vacation, as she tends to get sick after a kennel stay due to nervousness and very shy. Such a relief to come home and have her be happy and not sick. Definitely would recommend and have Angelina to drop in visits again.

I highly recommend Dina to care for your loving animals. She is responsive and easy to communicate with. She even sent pictures. It's not often that you find someone that makes you feel at ease knowing your animals are cared for and Dina did just that. Moving forward she is my preferred pet sitter!!!

Jenna is the best sitter I have ever had! She is so accommodating and insanely flexible! When we got our new puppy Jenna made time to come over and meet him before me booking an appointment with her. This puppy was very unsocialized but took to her instantly. I was using her on a regular basis but my schedule changed. Now it’s just random times and she is always available! 10/10 I would and have recommended her to multiple people!

About: During COVID my family got a puppy! While my parents had to return to work as essential workers, I stayed home and enjoyed my time with a young puppy who had a lot to learn! I have experience with puppies and young dogs that have lots of energy, and love to play! Currently I am a student in graduate school. I am adjusting to my schedule, but I am very flexible. Pet care fits as I would love to hang out with a furry friend for a couple hours while they get the time they need to exercise. Feeding times are a must for all animals and I completely understand that dogs/cats are routine animals! This also means that they require feeding at regular times and exercise!

About: I have been house sitting and taking care of family/friends pets for over a decade. I have always felt a special connection with animals and hope I get to take care of all types of furry friends! I do have a full time job M-F but am able to work around it with notice. Please feel free to let me know exactly what you are looking for! My fiancé and I have a dog who loves to snuggle and play (and has no concept of personal space LOL) I am always catering to what he is in the mood for, and I would do the same for yours! Whether your dog has the energy for a walk, or just wants to hang on the couch, I am there to make sure they are happy and comfortable, with all the care and love they need!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Preston on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 1,321 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Preston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Preston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Preston with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Preston. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 98% 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.

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.
