Dog Walkers in Preston City, CT

“Great experience using rover for first time. I couldn’t walk my dogs because of ankle surgery. Ashlyne responded right away and came over on short notice and walked my two dogs, an 11yrs old black lab and an 1yrs old black lab / Belgian malinois mix. They both liked her and went walking with her with no hesitation. Plan to use Ashlyne again and highly recommend her.”

About: I have dog sat my neighbors dog multiple times over the past two years. I have 2 dogs at home and take care of them by walking, playing, feeding, etc. I am a college student and have classes throughout the day. By being able to walk dogs it’ll be a good way to make some money while being able to go to class. I walk them daily, put food their bowls, and play with them. My dogs at home are very energetic so it is constant play and walking.

About: Hello! My name is Meghan and I have a love and passion for all kinds of animals. I am currently a part time veterinary receptionist/assistant and am available for walks and drop-in visits Sunday through Wednesdays. I have never known a life without pets. Growing up, my family always had dogs, including two German Shepherd police K9s and even a dog who used a wheel chair. I have also bred and whelped both German shepherd and Labrador Retrievers. My husband and I currently have two Labrador retrievers, four cats and four goats. I would love to take my passion for animals and turn it into a business one day, which is why I decided to start on Rover. I am currently available for dog walking and drop in visits for socializing and potty breaks. Please contact me for any kind of pet care you may need! I am currently a part time veterinary receptionist/assistant! I am available for walks and drop-in visits Sunday through Wednesday. Please send me a message with your specific needs. I have reliable transportation, and will treat your pets as if they are my own. Their safety and happiness is the most important thing to me.

About: I like to be active with pets and can also adjust to their personality. I enjoy just being present and spending time with all animals in general I’m currently working full time so after work is best fit for me. Anytime from 5 o clock until whenever. Also free on the weekends I tend to play inside a lot but going outside is a plus. Walks included and just being active if possible. Sometimes just sitting down and relaxing going with the dog and its individual needs

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals. I’ve had 1 bird, 1 ferret, 5 cats, and 6 dogs. I’ve trained 2 Dogs to obey basic commands and good potty habits. Im available for boarding on Fridays through Sundays. I work from home on Friday and I don’t work the weekends at all. I can also be flexible during week days as needed. I take my dogs for walks every 3 hours or at their request. We play fetch and tug-o-war in my backyard. My basement is a complete doggy daycare.

About: Animals have held a special place in my heart my whole life. I started volunteering at my local animal shelter when I was 14, working my way up to weekend manager. I also worked as veterinary technician for many years and volunteered in the wildlife clinic. During those years, I pet sat for many clients and was happy to help ease people’s minds while they were away. Now I work with humans in medicine and my (human) children are teenagers. In my home, we have 3 dogs, 2 geckos, a tarantula and a ball python. The only reason we don’t have cats is a family member has severe allergies. I have experience with giving medication, positive reinforcement training, dealing with shy and anxious personalities and an expert snuggler. Please reach out with any questions, I look forward to chatting with you! I work full time at a doctors office. I am available from 5pm- 8am. I can visit during my lunch hour on a case by case basis. My weekends are open :) My own home is fenced in but enjoy going for walks too. If a dog requires walks daily, that’s more than okay with me :)

“Stacey was fabulous. I would definitely recommend her to others.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 4, and then when I turned 12 I began taking care of other dogs around the neighborhood. I have had the enormous blessing of making friends of both human, canine, and feline through pet sitting & Rover. The profile says I had only one repeat client but I’ve had over eight families (in addition to many others by word of mouth) that have repeatedly used my loving care for their animals and homes. I had a very successful and full pet care business in multiple states including; Illinois, Utah, and California. I have house sat for more families than I can remember and all were happy and safe experiences for the pets, families, and me! I’m working a little part time and spend a lot of time taking care of myself and writing. Pet care has always worked into my every day and weekly schedule very easily and with excitement as I love to be around animals. I make sure to be aware of the environment and the animal before I make any big steps. I check for fences and make sure doors are closed. I have a cat right now that is very warm yet shy so when I get the chance to house pets in my home I know they will be separate and safe. I ensure that each animal is safe and seen in all environments whether it is outside on walks or in the backyard or even just in the kitchen.

About: When it comes to pet care, I stand out from the rest in the area for numerous reasons. First and foremost, your beloved pet will be treated as a cherished member of our family during their stay with us. With a lifelong passion for dogs, I have been caring for these furry companions since I was just 10 years old. From energetic Corgis to playful Pit Bulls, from gentle Golden Retrievers to lovable Saint Bernards, I have experience with a wide range of breeds and temperaments. What truly sets me apart is my patience with all dogs, ensuring that your pet receives not only love and attention but also the grace they deserve. Rain or shine, daily walks are a staple in our routine, and I take great delight in strolling through the rain with a furry friend by my side. With my dedicated care, expertise in training, and unwavering commitment to providing a nurturing environment, I am the ideal choice for ensuring your pet's happiness, safety, and well-being. As a teacher, pet care seamlessly integrates into our daily and weekly routine. With the flexibility of our schedules, there is always someone present to attend to your furry family member even if one of us needs to step out briefly with the children. My commitment to your pet's well-being ensures that they are never left alone for extended periods of time. Whether it's engaging in playtime, administering meals, or providing comforting company, your furry friend will always have a loving presence by their side. We understand the importance of consistency and stability in a pet's life, and we strive to maintain a nurturing environment that seamlessly integrates into our daily and weekly routines. We just recently fenced-in our yard, the safety and well-being of your pet are of utmost importance to us. To ensure their security, the back door will remain locked during their stay, and all entrances and exits will be conducted through the front door, where a leash will be securely attached to your dog. Unless specified otherwise, your pet will become just part of our family, granting them the freedom to roam certain areas of the house. Our couches and chairs are open for their lounging pleasure, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. To maintain a harmonious feeding routine, your pet will be provided separate mealtimes, distinct from our own animals and children. Rest assured that while under our care, your beloved pet will receive individualized attention, an inviting environment, and the utmost consideration for their comfort and safety.

About: I’ve spent 6 years working at a puppy store dealing with temperaments of 50+ different dog breeds. At this work place I groomed puppies, fed them, cleaned up after them, and gave them tons of affection! I also have personal experience with administering pet medication, as well as dealing with deaf canines. I’m currently working part-time so I have some availability for your fur babies! I am available for dog walking, drop-in, and doggy daycare Mondays-Wednesdays all day! I do also have availability Thursday-Sunday in the evenings. No matter where I pet sit, my priority is to make sure your fur baby is comfortable and well cared for. I respect and maintain a tidy area at your home just as I do mine.

About: I've been caring for animals for over 10 years and feel a genuine connection with them that goes beyond just following instructions. I'm calm, patient, and observant — qualities that animals respond to quickly, especially in pets that are anxious, shy, or used to a specific routine. What makes my care genuinely different is my background: I hold a biology degree and have medical school training, which means I'm not just comfortable with medications and special needs — I actually understand the underlying conditions. I know what to watch for, how to communicate clearly with your vet if something comes up, and how to stay calm under pressure. I have direct experience with: Administering oral, topical, and injected medications on schedule. Caring for senior pets and those with chronic conditions such as diabetes, arthritis, or kidney disease. Following detailed feeding protocols, restricted diets, and post-surgical care routines. Monitoring subtle behavioral and physical changes that can signal a health issue early. Handling anxious, reactive, or high-needs animals with calm, consistent energy. Beyond medical care, my hands-on animal experience spans a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, gerbils, horses and farm animals. I also spent time assisting on an organic farm in Japan where regular garden care was part of everyday life. I ran an Airbnb for several years as well, which taught me how to care for someone's home with the same respect I'd give my own — something that matters a lot in house sitting situations. I have verified 5-star reviews on TrustedHouseSitters from real pet owners, which reflects the level of care and communication I bring to every booking. On Rover I'm building my paid care profile and bringing that same standard with me. I work remotely as a Medical Qigong Therapist, which means my schedule is genuinely flexible and I'm home throughout the day — not popping in between a job and other commitments. Pet care fits naturally and completely into my daily routine. I can closely follow your pet's existing schedule for feeding, walks, medications, and rest without interruption. Your pets won't be left alone for long stretches, and I adapt to what they need rather than fitting them around a fixed schedule. I'm currently slow-traveling across the United States and available for house sitting and drop-in care in cities along my route. I typically stay in each location for days to weeks at a time, which makes me well suited to longer bookings. Message me to check if I'll be in your area — I'm happy to discuss timing and logistics. Safety and consistency are at the center of how I work. In a client's home I follow all instructions carefully — routines, feeding schedules, medications, restricted areas, and any behavioral notes you share. I treat your home as my own: tidy, secure, and respected throughout the stay. My medical background means I'm genuinely prepared for situations that would stress out most sitters. If a pet shows signs of distress, a change in behavior, or a medical concern, I know how to assess the situation calmly, respond appropriately, and contact you and your vet with clear, accurate information rather than panic. I provide regular photo and video updates throughout every stay so you're never left wondering. I'm responsive to messages and believe in over-communicating rather than under — especially for first-time clients who don't yet know my style. For pets that are anxious about new people, I take introductions slowly and follow the animal's lead rather than pushing for immediate interaction. Most animals settle quickly with calm, predictable energy.

“Jennifer has been so great with my anxious dog Cambria. She accommodated my request for a few meetings with all of us together so Cambria would be more comfortable when Jennifer came to our house for care. Cambria had her first solo visit yesterday and Jennifer sent me pictures which was wonderful to receive and eased my mind. I would recommend Jennifer to everyone who is a little nervous about leaving their dog, she is so kind and compassionate and made my anxious dog feel at ease.”

Heidi A.

“My dogs love Doreen. She is wonderful with them. She is so patient, Macy can be a little challenging when meeting new people, and takes her a long time to warm up, but it only took a few minutes. That right there speaks volumes. I highly recommend Doreen and will use her again soon.”

Jennifer M.

“Amazing!”
