About: I have always been an animal lover, having multiple cats, dogs, chickens and taking care of the animals on my aunt’s farm since I was a child. I work at a doggy daycare which has enhanced my knowledge of different breeds energy levels, mannerisms and needs as they grow older. I would love to give your furry kids all the fun, love and care they would otherwise miss while you are away! I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of time to give your furry kids lots of love and attention! I’m available on the weekends, mornings 7-11am and at night after 6:30pm and offer overnight care everyday. I will follow any instructions or suggestions you give me and always respect your home. If you have a fenced in yard I will let your kids run wild, if not, I will happily take them on a 30 min walk minimum and play with them lots afterward so they get a good exercise! I will give them lots if attention and kisses and send you pictures of them living their best life!

Mary was so great with my dog, will be using her as my regular dog sitter going forward. Was super attentive and interactive with him from the first meet and greet. Great communication from her and loved the check ins she sent while she came to visit, very glad I found somebody so happy to spend some time with him when I’m at work. 10/10 recommend!

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.

I treat your home with total respect and will send you regular updates and photos so you have complete peace of mind.

Serena was absolutely wonderful! I would leave her 10 stars if I could. Serena was timely and reliable, and put my mind at ease while I was away from our highly energetic and anxious new puppy. My neighbors all raved about how wonderful her interactions were while she was outside with him 😊 she was great about sending pictures and communication while I was away. Serena was also very accommodating with my last minute schedule changes and continually put me at ease. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Elizabeth was absolutely amazing. Not only did she care for my animals but she treated them as they were her own. Before I left for my trip she told me “don’t worry they’re in good hands”. She didn’t lie when she said that. If I need a dog sitter again I will be contacting her!

About: I don’t have my own pet anymore as he passed from old age. I like to take care of other people’s pets when they are on vacation and care for them with as much love as if they were my own. I will stay at your home if needed , schedule potty break services as well. I work at a school so let out before I go to work and right after, evenings and bed time. I will take care of pets in clients home with care plan that fits the pets needs. Give them plenty of attention and care to take away any worries when you are away.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have always loved being around them. My girlfriend and I have an Australian Shepherd of our own who’s a huge part of our family, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your pup. I’m the go to dog sitter for friends and family, one of my friends even calls me the “dog whisperer.” I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities, whether they love to play or just want someone to hang out with. I’m confident handling dogs on walks and keeping up with leash training and good habits. I’m also happy to feed, administer medication, and take care of any special routines or needs your furry family member has. I’ll treat your dog like they’re one of my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I’m here for you and for your fur baby, whatever you need I will do it! With that my dog is on a good routine, 7am-7:30am she goes potty 8:30am-9am breakfast 10:30am-11:00am she goes for her first walk for about 30mins to 1.5hours depending on the day Between 12:30pm-4pm we do about 5-10mins of mental stimulation training 5pm-6:30pm she gets dinner and an after dinner walk 7pm-the rest of the night we chill I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run around! The doggos can run around and play with each other or train.

About: My first dog came to my family when I was 3, I had a very strong connection to my dog. After her we had a puppy, and after him we have two cats as of now. I know how to bath gently, I understand how senior animals need extra time and care. I’m used to giving medication if needed. I’m working two jobs part time but I still have Monday completely open and Wednesday after 12pm free along with Saturday early afternoons. I’m looking for a few extra bucks to pay some bills. My cats have free range of my house, and they do go outside, I keep them company in the mornings and always love to greet them and tell them goodnight.

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.

Melissa is the absolute best. She took amazing care of our cats while we were away on our honeymoon. It was the longest we had ever been away from them, but we had completely confidence in Melissa. The cats (especially Milo) love her, which is so much peace of mind!

About: I live in the Norwich area with a mostly fenced in yard which our two GSDs love. We also have 3 cats and a pet snake. I love dog sitting and walking because I am full hearted animal lover, I will play with your dog non stop until they get tired and reward their wonderful behavior with all the love and belly rubs possible. I spend hours outside with my dogs and while also taking them to our favorite field and swimming. I want to give other dogs the same opportunities. I have been dog sitting since I was 12, so for over 10 years. I am also comfortable with other pets as well! I’ve also cared for rats, bunnies,and other furry creatures you may have at home! * discount offered to not book with Rover* I have worked with handfuls of pets and I’m willing to learn and listen to what your pets do and don’t like so I can give them the best care possible while following instructions given. I’m currently not working and therefore available during the week days! Weekends can be discussed, but not advertising for booking to spend time with my family I follow your instructions to keep everyone safe, as well as leaving items where you left them so you don’t have to look for them later. I’m also a big animal photographer so I’m always willing to share photos with you!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 1,335 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.
