About: Hello! My name is Meghan and I have a love and passion for all kinds of animals. I am currently a part time veterinary receptionist/assistant and am available for walks and drop-in visits Sunday through Wednesdays. I have never known a life without pets. Growing up, my family always had dogs, including two German Shepherd police K9s and even a dog who used a wheel chair. I have also bred and whelped both German shepherd and Labrador Retrievers. My husband and I currently have two Labrador retrievers, four cats and four goats. I would love to take my passion for animals and turn it into a business one day, which is why I decided to start on Rover. I am currently available for dog walking and drop in visits for socializing and potty breaks. Please contact me for any kind of pet care you may need! I am currently a part time veterinary receptionist/assistant! I am available for walks and drop-in visits Sunday through Wednesday. Please send me a message with your specific needs. I have reliable transportation, and will treat your pets as if they are my own. Their safety and happiness is the most important thing to me.

Great experience using rover for first time. I couldn’t walk my dogs because of ankle surgery. Ashlyne responded right away and came over on short notice and walked my two dogs, an 11yrs old black lab and an 1yrs old black lab / Belgian malinois mix. They both liked her and went walking with her with no hesitation. Plan to use Ashlyne again and highly recommend her.

About: My experience includes working with horses, donkeys, sheep, chickens, fish, reptiles, birds and more. I have my own dog Paul, and I've owned dogs and cats in the past as well. My most recent certification is in wildife rehabilitation, and I work part-time as an educator at an aquarium. I surround myself with animals and I hope to do so for the rest of my life. I work on Sundays and Mondays, volunteer on Thursdays, and may be called in on other days. I am responsible for my own animals at home as well. As long as I have time to plan for animal care for others, I will make that care a priority. Clearly written instructions on specific care for your animals is appreciated, but I can use my knowledge and experience to make the right calls if anything comes up.

About: When it comes to pet care, I stand out from the rest in the area for numerous reasons. First and foremost, your beloved pet will be treated as a cherished member of our family during their stay with us. With a lifelong passion for dogs, I have been caring for these furry companions since I was just 10 years old. From energetic Corgis to playful Pit Bulls, from gentle Golden Retrievers to lovable Saint Bernards, I have experience with a wide range of breeds and temperaments. What truly sets me apart is my patience with all dogs, ensuring that your pet receives not only love and attention but also the grace they deserve. Rain or shine, daily walks are a staple in our routine, and I take great delight in strolling through the rain with a furry friend by my side. With my dedicated care, expertise in training, and unwavering commitment to providing a nurturing environment, I am the ideal choice for ensuring your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being. As a teacher, pet care seamlessly integrates into our daily and weekly routine. With the flexibility of our schedules, there is always someone present to attend to your furry family member even if one of us needs to step out briefly with the children. My commitment to your pet's well-being ensures that they are never left alone for extended periods of time. Whether it's engaging in playtime, administering meals, or providing comforting company, your furry friend will always have a loving presence by their side. We understand the importance of consistency and stability in a pet's life, and we strive to maintain a nurturing environment that seamlessly integrates into our daily and weekly routines. We just recently fenced-in our yard, the safety and well-being of your pet are of utmost importance to us. To ensure their security, the back door will remain locked during their stay, and all entrances and exits will be conducted through the front door, where a leash will be securely attached to your dog. Unless specified otherwise, your pet will become just part of our family, granting them the freedom to roam certain areas of the house. Our couches and chairs are open for their lounging pleasure, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. To maintain a harmonious feeding routine, your pet will be provided separate mealtimes, distinct from our own animals and children. Rest assured that while under our care, your beloved pet will receive individualized attention, an inviting environment, and the utmost consideration for their comfort and safety.

About: I like to be active with pets and can also adjust to their personality. I enjoy just being present and spending time with all animals in general I’m currently working full time so after work is best fit for me. Anytime from 5 o clock until whenever. Also free on the weekends I tend to play inside a lot but going outside is a plus. Walks included and just being active if possible. Sometimes just sitting down and relaxing going with the dog and its individual needs

My dogs love Doreen. She is wonderful with them. She is so patient, Macy can be a little challenging when meeting new people, and takes her a long time to warm up, but it only took a few minutes. That right there speaks volumes. I highly recommend Doreen and will use her again soon.

About: I've lived with dogs nearly my whole life, and cats for half of it. I have taken care of said pets for years and been an in-family pet sitter on numerous occasions. My mother frequently cares for other pets through apps like this/through friends, and I assist her with that when needed. At the moment, I care for my mother's pets when she leaves town for any length of time (1 small/medium dog, 1 cat). Otherwise, I'm a free agent. Some of the services listed on the app have the potential to overlap (such as a visit and a walk), I don't consider the price to be totally compounding, just let me know and we can figure out what works best. I'd imagine this is on a situational basis. I'll pet/feed/walk them and am able to follow directions as well as any human, should your pet require specific, or unique, handling. I can usually read pet body language pretty well, but have no specific training in it. If there are any areas of confusion for me, I'll be sure to ask questions to make sure your pet is cared for properly.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 4, and then when I turned 12 I began taking care of other dogs around the neighborhood. I have had the enormous blessing of making friends of both human, canine, and feline through pet sitting & Rover. The profile says I had only one repeat client but I’ve had over eight families (in addition to many others by word of mouth) that have repeatedly used my loving care for their animals and homes. I had a very successful and full pet care business in multiple states including; Illinois, Utah, and California. I have house sat for more families than I can remember and all were happy and safe experiences for the pets, families, and me! I’m working a little part time and spend a lot of time taking care of myself and writing. Pet care has always worked into my every day and weekly schedule very easily and with excitement as I love to be around animals. I make sure to be aware of the environment and the animal before I make any big steps. I check for fences and make sure doors are closed. I have a cat right now that is very warm yet shy so when I get the chance to house pets in my home I know they will be separate and safe. I ensure that each animal is safe and seen in all environments whether it is outside on walks or in the backyard or even just in the kitchen.

I needed someone to take my dog out for a walk on short notice. Nicole was able to make time on the Fourth of July to walk and play with my Rosie. She was gracious to clean up a couple accidents Rosie made in the house while we were away. I always enjoy seeing pictures of my dog on her walk or playing fetch with Nicole when we are away. Nicole has been very dependable and helpful!

FAQs for Dog Walking - Preston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Preston on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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

As of July 2026, there are 1,352 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Preston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Preston. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Preston.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 walker 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 .

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

  • 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 99% 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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
