“Bethany is incredibly professional and kind! She met the dogs briefly prior to sitting for us and was a fabulous communicator while we were traveling. I knew our boys were in amazing hands. I will absolutely be booking with her again soon!”
“Jennifer was great! This is the second time we’ve used her and my boys love her! She was flexible and went out of her way to make everyone comfortable. We’re so happy we found her!”
“Ryan is AWESOME!!! I didn't worry once while I was away from my babies and home because I knew they would be taken care of. Ryan communicated with me every day and assured me that all was well. It is hard enough to be away, but at least I knew my pups were comfortable at home with a great sitter. I was more worried about Ryan being comfortable away from his home. Great experience and we will definitely be requesting Ryan's assistance in the near future! Thanks again Ryan!”
“Amy is the best! So caring and loving to our dogs. Takes care of all of the animals needs and goes out of her way to make them happy/comfortable. The best updates and pictures. Highly recommend booking!”
About: I am disabled so this is my primary source of income and your fur babies will have my full attention! Ive taken care of many cats and dogs since I was 9 years old and since ive grown up ive petsit for friends and family. I dont have any professional experience yet but id love to get some! I will treat your baby like I would treat my own :) Im home all the time helping watch my younger sisters, so Im available almost always! I love taking care of animals but dont have any of my own so there are no other animals in the house. I have a fenced in yard that they could run around in with supervision, because I couldnt handle losing someone elses pet :( I can take them outside as often as I need and I can take them on walks Every 3-4 hours.
“Addie had great communication and took perfect care of all of our critters while we were on vacation for the week. As well as our house. All the pups and the cat loved her. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Reed did a great job taking care of our older German Shepherds and house sitting for us. He took the dogs on walks and played fetch with them. I loved the pics he sent. Will definitely use him again!”
“Francine was amazing! She stayed at our house for 8 nights with our Great Dane and Doberman. The Doberman can be a little difficult at first but she handled him perfectly and they really bonded. She sent lots of updates and pics. She was very responsive and took great care of our house. We will definitely use Francine in the future!”
“Stacy took exceptional care of my dog and cat for 4 days while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond by taking my dog on extra walks, hikes, and spent a lot of time with her. I’m very happy with her care and would recommend Stacy to anyone that wants a very happy puppy to come home to!”
About: Caring for my own pets until their very last day taught me the importance of love, patience, and attentiveness. Now, for the first time in my life, I find myself without a pet, but I’ve started filling that hole by offering pet sitting as I heal. With years of hands-on experience, I’m skilled in administering medication, handling special diets, and providing gentle, compassionate care for pets with unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply being there for your pet, I offer dedicated care with a deep understanding of what it means to love and lose a furry family member. Working remotely allows me to be home and attentive throughout the day, making pet care a seamless part of my daily routine. I’m active, and my older kids (12 and 17) share my love for animals, so your pet will have plenty of company and playtime. I currently pet sit for multiple friends, so I’m experienced in managing different schedules and needs. I’m open to overnight stays or having your pet stay with us, and if your furry friend enjoys car rides, they’re welcome to join us on errands or school drop-offs. I’m flexible and committed to ensuring your pet’s comfort, whether they prefer staying home, riding along, or need to be crated. In my home, I create a warm and welcoming environment where pets can feel safe and loved. I ensure they have a comfortable space to relax, with plenty of toys, cozy spots for naps, and regular access to the outdoors if needed. I maintain their routine as closely as possible, from feeding schedules to playtime, and I’m attentive to any special needs, such as administering medication or adhering to dietary restrictions. My older kids also love interacting with pets, so there’s no shortage of attention and affection. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect and follow the established routines and guidelines. I provide updates, whether through photos or messages, to keep you informed and at ease while you’re away. I’m diligent about maintaining the cleanliness and order of your home, making sure your pet is well-cared for in their familiar surroundings. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I’m committed to providing the best care possible, tailored to the specific needs of your pet.
About: I have a special appreciation for senior pets and understand that they often need a little extra patience, attention and love. I'm comfortable providing gentle, attentive care while keeping their routines as consistent and comfortable as possible. I understand that older pets may need slower walks, extra potty breaks, help getting comfortable, medication reminders, or simply more time and companionship. My goal is to make sure all pets feel safe, relaxed and well cared for while their family is away. I treat every pet like they're part of my own family and take the time to learn their individual needs, personality and routine. I am an insurance agent and can work remotely at your kitchen or coffee table. I respect your pet and property as though it was my own. I don't currently live where I can keep your pets at my place, but I will gladly take care of your pets in their home.

“Austin took great care of our high maintenance seniors. He hardly left them alone and took them on way more walks than we asked. He was super communicative and sent plenty of pics. He was also very respectful of our house.”
“Amber came for a meet and greet which I think is so important. She asked questions and sent pics while I was away. I felt so much more relaxed knowing she was here. And she even fixed a door handle that was broke ?.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of September 2026, there are 394 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Preston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 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.
