About: I grew up around cats, dogs and hamsters. We have had 2 boxers previously, one of which I have cared for through his late senior years, so I know what extra special care senior animals may need. I am comfortable diaper-changing, walking a their pace and administering medications. I have experience house-sitting and pet-sitting for various pets throughout my life — mostly cats and dogs. My son currently has a Leopard Gecko, so I have some insight into caged reptiles too, but am willing to learn more and care for them too, if needed. I am a Stay-at-Home-Mom with an open schedule. I can easily fit in dog walks, or house-visits to care for a pet. (I have a 1.5 year old daughter who will mostly like need to come with me on these visits.) You can trust me to walk your pet or come pop-in for a visit to feed and care for them. I love all animals and am happy to help them feel loved and less alone while you're gone.
About: I’ve owned cats my entire life and dogs throughout my teenage years. I’ve done dog sitting and cat sitting, animals have always been a huge part of my life. I know how to deal with kittens, puppies and dogs who need medications or extra care. One of my dogs growing up had epilepsy so I am used to having to manage a dog with a disability. I’m a server/bartender trying to make some extra money this summer so I can go back to college next year! I love animals and I grew up around all sorts of animals while working and riding at a horse ranch. Im an extremely respectful person of peoples spaces. Im not on my phone much and will give your pet all the attention it could possibly want and need.
“Super communicative and easy to work with. She took great care of our puppy and was super adaptive to her reactive needs. We will definitely be booking again ☺️”
“Guanming and wife are great sitters! They are communitive and detail oriented. It was nice to travel knowing my cats were in good hands, and I got lots of good pictures. I would book again and highly recommend!”
About: Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe, loved, and understood. I have experience with puppies, seniors, and pets who need a little extra patience—whether it’s for training, medication, or just comfort. I treat every pet like my own, making sure they’re not only cared for, but also feel happy and at home while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—I truly enjoy spending time with animals. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to offer consistent, attentive care throughout the week. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I make time every day to give pets the love, attention, and routine they thrive on. I’m happy to adjust my routine to match your pet’s needs and make them feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of supervision, love, and attention. I follow your instructions carefully—sticking to routines, respecting boundaries, and making sure pets feel secure. I build trust by showing up consistently, staying communicative, and treating every animal with patience and care, just like I would with my own.
“Sara was accommodating and personable with me and great with my two 14-year-old cats. She was able to medicate Esteban and got both of my cats to warm up to her by the end of the stay. It warmed my heart to see them seeking out pets and cuddles!”
“Janine did a fantastic job caring for Wally while we were traveling! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. Wally can be a little cautious and takes time to build trust with new people, and Janine was so understanding and willing to work with him at his own pace. Her patience, kindness, and dedication gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We truly appreciate the care and effort she put into making Wally feel comfortable and safe. Janine is wonderful, and we will absolutely continue using her services. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”
“Lindsay was wonderful with our very particular/anxious/stressed kitty!! She was incredibly patient with her and respected her boundaries and space. She followed all of our instructions for care and was very communicative with us. She left great rover cards and took lots of photos. We knew our cat was in great hands while we were out of the country. Will definitely book with her again! She is reliable and overall a great sitter!”
About: My name is Caity, and I’m excited to provide loving, reliable care for your home and pets. I’ve completed several housesitting jobs in the past, including overnight stays, and I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds and ages. During my childhood into adulthood I was a proud dog mom to two Labrador Retrievers, so I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for dogs and making sure they receive plenty of love, attention, exercise, and patience. My goal is to make your time away from your pet as stress-free as possible by keeping them happy, safe, and comfortable while also taking great care of your home. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and do my very best to give them the care and companionship they deserve. Please feel free to reach out anytime with questions or to chat about your pets needs. I’d love to hear from you and hopefully meet your furry family soon! With love, Caity :) I am currently working part-time. This means that I am available most days in the week, for most hours of the day, to care for your pets! During my services, I will follow your pet’s usual feeding, exercise, and bedtime routines as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you are away. I also prioritize providing regular updates so that you can feel confident in your pet’s happiness and care!
About: Hey there! My name is Matt and I am 32 years old. I have graduated from Washington State University where I received my Bachelor's of Science in Psychology. While in college, I loved volunteering at the nearby Humane Society and spending time with the dogs as I missed mine back home very much. I am familiar with a variety of dog breeds, as they have been a part of my life since I was a kid. As far as my interests and hobbies, I love to stay active by participating in sports, yoga, running, hiking, anything that gets me moving. I thoroughly enjoy dog walking and/or taking them on a run depending on what your dog prefers. My schedule is very flexible. Please let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your pet 🙂 My schedule remains flexible, I usually walk anytime after 10am. If you need in home services or house/dog sitting, I can provide that as well. The only service I can't provide is overnights at my own residence, other than that I'm open to pretty much any opportunities 👍 Typically I won't house pets at my residence, I could provide this service for short periods of time and no overnights. However, I do have a small yard that is fenced in.
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Preston is $25
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Preston
We couldn’t have asked for a better dog and cat sitter than Katie! She recently watched all three of our animals for drop-in visits while we were out of town. She was always punctual, incredibly attentive, and clearly cared deeply about our animals. From the moment we left, we felt completely at ease knowing they were in such amazing hands. Katie was fantastic about keeping us updated—regular messages, thoughtful check-ins, and plenty of pictures that reassured us our pets were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Honestly, when we got home, we’re pretty sure our animals were a little bummed we were back and Katie was gone—that’s how much they loved her. We wholeheartedly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter. She’s truly exceptional.

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:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
