About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and believe every pet deserves patience, affection, and individualized care. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them as such! Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, keeping up with routines, or simply providing companionship, I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs and will make sure you have peace of mind knowing your fur babies are in caring hands. Basic grooming experience and loved walks! I work a flexible schedule from home! So I can make almost anything work. Not available to stay overnight at another location but willing to be flexible! I prioritize creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for every pet. I follow each owner's instructions and routines, keep a close eye on pets, and make sure they always have fresh water, proper care, and plenty of attention. I treat every home and pet with respect and care, just as I would my own!
About: Not only have I been around and lived with dogs and cats my whole life, but I have at least 8 years experience. The first 3 or 4 years were under supervision of a parent. Then, once I was old enough, I started pet sitting on my own! I am an animal lover, and always make sure the fur babies have everything they need! I am a senior at Jax State and I majored in nursing! Unfortunately I am having to take a small break from school but I plan to start back in the fall. I am currently trying to work as much as I can to provide for not only myself but my kitties as well. My two girls, Cammie and Tillie, are my world. I do anything in my power to make sure that they are well taken care of. I care for my pets at home or client’s houses by doing what any pet parent should. Making sure that the animals have enough food and water are a must. Aside from food and water, spending quality play time with them and allowing several potty breaks are just as important! It’s a lot to take care of a pet, but no job is too big!
About: I'm pretty good at training I love getting to know dogs. I have a senior dog myself so I'm good and administering medications general senior and puppy care. I'm actually unemployed at the moment so I have plenty of time and I understand the importance of routine for pet for reducing stress. I'm happy to do anything you need for you fur baby. Stress is the worst thing about leaving you pets. You're stressed they're stressed so I prioritize make sure it's a stress free as possible. My dog is afraid of storms so if your pet have similar fears or anxieties I know how to comfort them.
“Shelby was a life saver and the best dog walker ever. I had to bring my dog to my parents house for an out of state trip for two weeks. My parents are +70 years old and can’t walk my husky dog. I met Shelby and she was the only person I needed to see. Prince loved her immediately so I knew he was in good hands. Shelby gave Prince daily walks for one hour. Took him on trips to dog parks and even gave him a bath on his last day since it was a rainy week. I highly recommend her for any service and if I’m ever back in town with Prince I’ll definitely see if she’s available.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 110 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wellington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Wellington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Wellington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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 walker 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellington. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
