“Our two cats do not get along. Despite their territorial spats, Patrick has somehow managed to get our trouble makers to play nice! I am astounded to come home from our trips to find the cats as best buddies. Our home is automated for food and water, but the mental stimulation from quality playtime is something you cannot simulate from a machine. According to our two cats, they give him 4 paws up! You can expect from Patrick a sitter that follows directions, thoughtful comments, excellent photos, and reliable availability. Thank you!”
“Caresse is a pro, she went above and beyond with my senior pup Etta. I really appreciated the custom touches like watering my newly planted garden plants and giving medication as I described. And she worked me into her schedule last minute on a holiday weekend. I came home to a happy girl!”
“Erika saved us. I needed a last minute check in for my dog this weekend and she was able to help us out. Her communication really put me at ease and I cant wait to book her again!”
“Isabella has done an excellent job. She showed up on time, followed our feeding instructions precisely, and spent great quality time with our boys (dogs). They love it when she drops by for a visit and some outdoor playtime. We are very appreciative and fortunate to have had Isabella's help. I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a sitter or walker.”
“Jade took wonderful care of my cat during her daily check-in visits while I was away for a week. The updates she provided every day after her visit were above and beyond anything I expected. She followed the instructions I left for my cat's care and was extremely easy to work with. I will not hesitate to book with Jade again when I'm traveling in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Wendy is simply amazing with my cats. She goes above and beyond to help as needed. Anytime I travelled, i honestly always worried about my cats. With Wendy, I really have peace of mind that they are in great hands.”
About: I have been around dogs all my life! I used to have two Mastiffs and now I have two Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs. I always had responsibilities growing up to feed, care for, and at times train the dogs. I have also been asked by multiple friends for my dog sitting service. I work from 9-1 on weekdays. Anytime before and after that I would love to take care of furry ones. I am free anytime on weekends! I make sure dogs are fed when they need to and I make sure that they are taken out to the bathroom and walked enough! I can stay overnight or assist in check-ins as needed.
“Kaya was SOOO amazing with our little senior man!! He can take a bit to warm up to people and she was so patient with him. She was such an attentive, communicative, and timely sitter - I would highly recommend her for drop ins and overnights!”
“Mackenzie was amazing during our little getaway. She made sure Capone got lots of fun and attention. The pictures after each visit were great. She made us feel at ease, knowing our dog was in good hands. I would confidently rebook with her!”
“I asked Rebecca for three drop-in visits per day while I was away on a trip, and she did a wonderful job. Communication was always very quick and smooth. I would definitely ask her again in the future.”
“Taegan did a great job with our house full of animals. She approached her work with care and kindness and did a thorough job of communicating with us! We thought she went above and beyond (as a tiny example, she noticed our full trash can and took it to the curb on trash day).”
About: I grew up always having cats in my home and sitting for neighborhood dogs! I have taken care of a variety of pets such as fish, tortoises, snakes, birds, dogs, and cats! Some of those animals have needed special care such as anxious dogs getting meds, paralyzed cats needing diaper changes, and fish that need water treatment! I pride myself in my responsible and earnest nature! I believe in maintaining pet parents expectations and following instructions correctly. I have experience in high acuity mental health services so I have intensive knowledge in navigating emergencies so I can provide ease to any pet parent! I currently work a 8-5 job so I available before or after my full time job. I am able to do potty breaks throughout my work day! It can be hard to trust sitters to spend enough time in your home so I try to spend every minute possible I can with your pet and send updates every few hours! While house sitting, I know animals can be mischievous so maintaining supervision is key! Routine is soooo important for anyone, including your pets so sticking to existing routines is a top priority. A home is a safe space so I do everything I can to respect that space for all parties involved :)
“We were so appreciative of Kat's kindness and patience while watching our kitten, Penelope. Penelope is afraid of new people but we felt completely comfortable leaving her under Kat's care because of Kat's love and understanding for animals. Kat kept us in the know with photos and updates which we greatly appreciated. We will be using Kat's pet sitting services in the future. She is a delightful person and was incredibly kind towards our kitten. Thank you Kat for watching our Penelope! You showed great adaptability as Penelope adjusted her comfort level with you.”
About: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and personalities, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I regularly pet sit for family and friends and would love the opportunity to care for even more furry companions. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, where I spent time taking dogs out of the shelter environment to explore, exercise, and enjoy one on one attention. I work an hybrid schedule and am able to make time for pet care. I am not able to have animals in my home. I’m available to house pet sitting in your home and scheduled dog walks and cat drop ins. I will ensure they are comfortable in their space. I like to build trust with animals first and figure out what type of personalities they have because every animal is not the same. I’m comfortable walking dogs, crating dogs, letting dogs outside, feeding dogs, giving pills, and lifting dogs up. I’m comfortable cleaning litter boxes, feeding cats, grooming, and providing entertainment while caring for cats. I want to do whatever they feel most comfortable with and makes them happy.
About: The beautiful atmosphere here at Ranch Itty Bitty provides lots of loving care, safety and walks on quiet country roads. All visitors love it here. I am nearly 100% retired and enjoy spending time with loving animals while their human family spends time away. I work hard to make sure their time is as precious as yours and mine. Since my two sweet pups traveled over the rainbow bridge, I have found joy in caring for pups of other families. While I miss my own, I adore the company of dogs and have found this experience absolutely perfect for my life. I have a big fenced yard if you need boarding services. I am extremely caring, respectful and have oodles of references to let you know you are hiring the best of care for your furry loved ones.
“Kelly is our go-to pet sitter. Our cats always are well taken care of and are happy when we get back. We have a kitten and a senior cat with past medical issues and Kelly experience gives us peace of mind while we’re away.”

Emily was so prompt and accommodating. This was the first time we used Rover, and the first time we left our kitties for more than an overnight stay. Emily asked all the right questions and respected our choice not to have any photos taken during her stops. Thank you thank you, Emily! Whatever Rover is paying you, it probably is not enough! 😁

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wellington on Rover is $16.05 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,088 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wellington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellington. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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.
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.
