“Ardelle took care of our very energetic 90 lb dog in our home. We had two meet-ups prior to her stay. Our dog felt comfortable with her immediately. She took him on several walks, hikes and adventures. She was great at communicating and sent several pictures which was wonderful to see when we were across the country. I would highly recommend Ardelle.”
“Kimberly stayed with our puppy, Charlie, for 4 days while we were out of town. She did a great job with him and our house! We felt so fortunate to have found Kimberly and her willingness to stay with Charlie, who had not been left alone for more than an hour. So we wanted to find someone who could be with him/ in the house for the vast majority of the time.”
“Mindy took great care of our pups, AND tolerated me while our schedule kept changing :) Great communicator... even showed up early so we could beat rush hour traffic on the way out of town Would definitely book her again!”
“Susannah was incredible with our pup mochi while we were out on an international trip - she sent photos everyday and kept us posted on all things. She took care of our dog and our house really well! Will hire her again!”
“Autumn has taken care of Macaroni for us many times and we always look forward to having her sit for us. I can tell she loves and takes care of our girl exactly how we would. We don’t get to leave town often but when we do it is great to know that Macaroni’s care is one less thing to worry about with Autumn!”
“Gaby was great! Mack took to her instantly and she was amazing with him. Gave great updates throughout the stay and checked in with me when he was feeling a little off and helped through that. Very communicative. Would absolutely have her sit again!”
“Jessica is wonderful with our dogs!! All three of them warmed to her immediately, even Phoebe who is very shy of new people! Thank you Jessica! We look forward to your next visit!”
“She was great! We have 3 big dogs and she knew how to interact with them, even our more difficult to handle one. She sent pictures and kept us up-to-date which was so nice.”
“Zach is reliable and friendly. Home to a well cared for dog and home. He even went above and beyond for us to add another night last minute after a flight fiasco. We'll continue to welcome him back to care for Harvey!”
“Our favorite sitter! Went on our 2nd two week long trip and Teresa is the only one we trust with our Indy. We have the utmost peace of mind with her daily updates, lots of cute photos and videos, and how she’s helped us with his socialization. Indy goes to cafes for pup cups, explores new parks, lots of long walks, and much more. He’s so spoiled and loved! Our home is always so clean too! Thank you so much for everything 🌸🩷”
“Jen is amazing. She took great care of our dogs. Calming one down when I balloon landed in the back yard! She followed our instructions to the letter and even brought in our trash/recycling containers without being asked. She communicates and sends updates and pics, which we REALLY appreciate! We can enjoy our trips knowing Jen is with them!!!”
“Gabrielle overnighted with our King Charles Spaniel last week. This was the second time using her service. Prompt arrival, asked all the right questions and provided text updates - even a photo of a happy dog. Responsible sitter and one I plan use in the future. Thanks!”
“Katey was amazing. She was very communicative and attuned to my pets needs and personalities. She was reliable and I came home to happy pets. I would definitely use her again!!”
“Georgia was great with my two pugs! This was my first time using Rover, so I was nervous, but Georgia listened to my concerns and took great care of my babies!”
“Janine did a great job watching our two dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands, and they were happy and well cared for when we got back. We’d definitely trust Janine to watch them again and highly recommend her.”
“Carissa was great with our pups! She doted on both of our dogs and gave us regular updates with pics so we could relax knowing they were being cared for. She also left our house spotless condition. We’ll definitely have Carissa again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Upper Preston
Juan was great with our dog and cat. He was able to give them their meds and pick up after them. The animals looked like they had a good time with him. He went above and beyond with caring for the animals and keeping our house clean. We would definitely book with Juan again.
We are truly grateful for Kimberly. We have a special needs dog who has both food and environmental allergies and we needed a sitter to watch her for an extended period (10 days) during a high enviro allergy period. To say we were anxious is an understatement. But Kimberly was kind and patient during our meet and greet visit, agreed to do several drop ins before our needed stay to learn our routines, and took amazing care of our pup while we were away. We had excellent communication with her and received daily updates and pictures. One of our kids actually wondered if our pup would want to keep Kimberly as her family versus us. 😆 Kimberly was also an amazing house guest and kept our house clean and tidy and left it better than she found it. I would definitely recommend Kimberly as a sitter and we will DEFINITELY use her again.

FAQs for House Sitting - Upper Preston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Upper Preston on Rover is $55.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 7,229 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Upper 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 Upper 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 Upper 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 Upper 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.

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.
