“I couldn't be happier with the cat-sitting services provided by Sara. They demonstrated a genuine love for animals, and we're polite and courteous to our cats needs. Throughout my time away, I received regular updates, including photos that reassured me that my cat was in good hands. Coming back home, I found my cats relaxed and happy, a clear indication of the exceptional care they received. I wholeheartedly recommend Sara to anyone seeking a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter.”
“Ardelle came to our place to do a meet & greet with our dog. Our very anxious Bear warmed up to her instantly! As we talked through all of our dog's needs, Ardelle was very friendly, receptive, and knowledgeable. She has a lot of working dog experience and it shows! That put me at ease really quickly and I'm confident that our dog will be safe & happy in her hands. Thank you, Ardelle!”
“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!”
“Briana did a great job of not just taking care of our pet but also took great care of the house while we were out on vacation for 10 days. She provided a lot of details of her visit daily and I was really impressed with the quality of communication. I would highly recommend Briana as both a cat and house sitter”
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.
“Skylar checked in on our pup while we were out of town. She was very candid about asking questions (i.e: it’s going to be snowing, should I close the doggy door? Etc...) which I really appreciated. We could tell our little girl was being well taken care of in our absence. We’d recommend her for sure!”
“Brooke is simply amazing. She came to walk our dog so last minute and really saved the day for us. She is so sweet and very communicative. She was also so good with our pup who can be very shy. She took her for a long walk and made sure to clean her paws. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone. Brooke is wonderful!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since / was 16 Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I also used to take care of my own dogs when I was back home. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays from 10 am to 1:00 pm sometimes. I have fenced yard & place to walk around my neighborhood. Give daily play and walk around. Setting up a quite, cozy area do the pet. Etc.
About: I have cared for many animal breeds since childhood, worked at a vet clinic for many years, and currently owns a dog of my own. His name is Odin and he’s 11 years old, so I have high knowledge of senior care. I raised him from 6 weeks old so am averse to puppyhood as well. I’ve also owned pet rats, geckos, and ferrets, so my general knowledge of pet care across several species is high. As a registered nurse, I am fully capable and comfortable administering any medications or providing any other health-type services to assist with your pets comfort and overall health. :) I work three 12-hour shift every week, leaving me with 4 days off to be of service! I am available Tuesdays and Friday - Sunday every week (unless otherwise noted in my calendar). My dog has become quite cranky with other dogs in his old age, so I don’t watch dogs in my home. In your own home I will of course respect any rules or boundaries, and be as respectful as possible to your pets’ space/needs. I’m happy to throw a ball for an hour or take a walk or snuggle on the couch.
About: I've had the privilege of owning two dogs - one was 19 years old and the other was 14 when our dogs passed away. I have really enjoyed looking after neighbors' and friends' dogs, whether it was boarding them or taking them for regular walks. I currently work full-time, but I am free every weekend and Monday mornings. Dogs are happiest with someone. If your pet loves to be walked and to have someone to interact with, then we will be very happy together. I believe exercise and attention are the key to a settled, healthy, pet. We live in a quiet neighborhood and our backyard is fenced on 3 sides. We have a sturdy stake with a chain for dogs who prefer to be left alone to get on with business. If possible, I like to combine pet potty time with a good long walk as it’s more enjoyable for everyone.
“Sage did a wonderful job taking care of Licorice! He managed to deal with our apartment instructions and make sure our pup had his trips to the bathroom! I look forward to booking with him again!”
About: Hi, I'm Cathi, your dogs new favorite auntie. I'm a calm, trustworthy, animal loving human based in the Seattle area, I genuinely adore caring for dogs. I fostered dogs for Gingers Pet Rescue for many years and have cared for senior dogs as well. What you can expect from me: Lots of love, I'm a respectful guest in your dogs routine. Reliable updates + photos so you feel at ease. Calm, attentive energy . Walks, playtime, enrichment and plenty of sniffing time. Clean, safe, comfortable environment. No chaos, just steady care. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, I'd love to meet you. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m already someone who prioritizes movement, fresh air, and a calm, consistent schedule. I structure my days around walks, outdoor time, and staying present, so caring for dogs feels like a perfect match. Your pup won’t just get a quick check-in — they’ll get steady attention, gentle companionship, and a sitter who truly enjoys making them feel safe, loved, and at home. I believe pets thrive when they feel safe and understood. When caring for your pet in your home, I bring calm energy and follow your routine closely so your pet feels secure. I’m mindful about leashes, doors, gates, and household safety, and I always take time to check in emotionally with your pet — especially if they’re shy, anxious, or adjusting. I’ll send photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in loving hands. 🌈🐾
About: I’m a dog dad to two very active breeds — Odin (Belgian) and Jeter (Weimaraner). They’ve taught me how to handle high-energy, smart, strong-willed dogs with patience and confidence. I love giving dogs exercise, structure, and calm companionship based on their personality. I work remotely, so I’m free for walks and drop-ins throughout the day. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work well, plus weekends for longer sessions and extra playtime. Living with a Belgian and a Weimaraner has made me very attentive to dog behavior and safety. I stay calm, follow your routines, and keep pets well-exercised and comfortable. You’ll always get updates and photos so you feel at ease.
About: Hi! I joined a local organization called Purrfect Pals at 16 years old. It was a place dedicated to giving our feline friends a chance for or they provided a happy life for our feline friends where they could live out the rest of their days in peace. Old or young, healthy or sick, grumpy or happy. They all had a home at perfect pals! I strive to follow the same ideals and treat all furry friends as my own family. I grew up with dogs and cats and have spent my entire life around them. Often being called a Dog or Cat whisper (Though i always deny it!) I know how difficult it is to trust your baby with a stranger, I promise to treat your baby as mine. As I would wish no less for my Loki. Hi, Honestly it’s only three days out of the week that I need to limit the exact times that i can provide potty breaks. I work three 9s and two 6.5s, while having Thursday and Fridays off work. I often start early in the morning and am off work by early to mid afternoon, which provides plenty of time for our furry friends even on days I do work my other job! As long as i’m aware of the time frame I can be pretty dang flexible! Base Expectations for Cat Care: Food! water refresh, litter box cleaning, brushing (if cat likes) and play time (this length and type depending on cat (please tell me all about your kitty!)), Base Expectations for Dog Care: Feeding, water refill, potty break! play time! please tell me what your dog likes! I prefer to meet the dog where they are :) *I’ll follow all feeding schedules as best I can!

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Preston is $26 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $41 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 11,109 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Preston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
