“This is the 2nd time Nicole has taken care of our dog, Kai and she has been wonderful with her. We are so appreciative of her help even when Kai is a handful! Thank you, Nicole! We will definitely be reaching out to you again in the future”
“Always a little scary leaving your family pets in the care of a stranger, but after our meet & greet with Elizabeth I knew she was the right one! Our cats need daily meds which can be challenging, and she took this on without hesitation. She went above and beyond and cleaned the litter boxes out and put new litter in before we came home which was a wonderful surprise, and we’re so appreciative of it. I would absolutely recommend her and use her again to watch our cats in the future!”
“Kourtney did a great job with my 4 cats and made sure their needs were met during our vacation. She was very good with communication and sending photos. I would recommend her.”
“Mary Glenn was awesome taking care of our kitty! She was so communicative and sent the best pictures everyday. She gave us a very worry free vacation and we will definitely be booking again!!”
“My husband and I were so grateful for the wonderful care and attention given to our 15 year old Field Spaniel Archie!! Would highly recommend and have referred to other family members. Will use again.”
“Faith is quite possibly the best pet sitter of all time! I forgot to leave my pets stuff out as usual and had to improvise, she is always helpful and always takes great care of my dog while I'm away”
“Doreen was an amazing sitter for Sadie! She updated me with a lot of pictures, videos, and description of her visit every day. She is very communicative and it’s obvious she loves animals. I’m so happy to have met her and completely trust her taking care of Sadie. 😊”
“It's the first time I have used Danielle services and I am very grateful to her. She kept my little guy safe, happy, healthy and well played out while I was gone. She sent me detailed reports and photos each visit that helped bridge that distance of me being so far away so I worried less about him while I was away. She went out of her way to be sure he was taken care of and could tell he was enjoying her visits and was still that little happy guy when I returned!)”
About: I’ve had experience taking care of animals since I was young! I often do pet care for my friends, family and coworkers as well as volunteer for local adoption agencies. I am capable of handling pets of all shapes, sizes and ages as I’ve come across them all with my experiences. I’m also equipped to handle pets with special needs. I am also certified in CPR & First Aid for Dogs & Cats, so you can trust that your family is safe in my hands. I am in school M-F, 9AM-1PM however I have plenty of early morning availability and afternoon and evenings. I try to accommodate for the needs of all pets & their parents. This allows me to spend quality time and give pets the proper care they need. With that being said, I highly encourage booking with me as I have time for Meet & Greets as well! During our M&G, we will develop a care plan for your fur babies for the service you booked me for. *At this time, pick-up/drop-off available for clients within a 10-15 mile radius of Griswold, CT* I focus entirely on providing structured, attentive care right in the comfort of your pet's own home. Whether it's an energetic dog walk, a midday drop-in visit, or dedicated house-sitting, my priority is keeping their exact routines consistent and stress-free. I treat your home with total respect and will send you regular updates and photos so you have complete peace of mind.
“We are so happy to have found Emily. She was great with Sullivan and sent us the best pictures and drop in updates. Very relieved to have found someone trust worthy, sweet and reliable. Looking forward to our next vacation knowing our baby is in good hands. ♥️♥️? Thank you Emily!”
“Eden did a great job caring for my cats. It was reassuring to see the picture of my nervous kitty come out for her during the first visit! She went above and beyond. I will definitely hire her again!”
“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.”
“Shannon took great care of our fur babies while we were away. Litter box was cleared and furballs picked up! Kitties were very happy to have her visits and give pets! Would absolutely use her service again! Great communication 👍🏽”
“Melissa was perfect. This is my first time using Rover and was very nervous as I have heard some negative stories. Melissa offered a meet&greet prior to me booking her and that definitely helped. Melissa followed instructions very well, she did everything I had asked. She was great with my dog and was great at communication. I will definitely use her service again and highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you very much!”
“Rachel did a couple last minute drop-ins for me and was even able to squeeze in a meet & greet to meet my shy pup Kiva beforehand. Despite the meet & greet, Kiva was still wary and Rachel was very patient with her as Kiva got more comfortable. Thank you Rachel, I appreciate you!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Preston
Natalie was amazing with our two senior cats. One of them is asthamtic and diabetic and she got his medication done everytime perfectly! Our other cat is very shy and hyperthyroid and she was still able to get her medication done as well. We were nervous about leaving them even just for 4 days since they have such specific needs, but Natalie really made us feel at ease. She was very attentive and caring with our kitties and she will definitely be our go-to for any future times we need a sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Preston on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 1,345 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
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.
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
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 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.
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.
