“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!”
“Patrick was amazing. We were out of the country for his visits with our dog. His communication was timely and thorough. He went above and beyond with water plants, caring or our chickens, plants and cat as well at the dog. Will definitely recommend and use Patrick again.”
“Wendy offered to meet with me prior to her visits which was great! She took cute photos during her visits and checked in with me as I requested. I would definitely book her again!”
“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!”
“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.”
“We have never left Diesel in anyone else’s hands, he has always come with us. I was so nervous! Jade came to meet him first (he adored her from the beginning) and she made us SO comfortable and took such good care of him! He was so happy in all of the pictures she took, and he actually ate, which he doesn’t usually do without us there! Would absolutely recommend 100%!!”
“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.”
“I am so thankful I found Rover. Amanda was so dependable and treated my cats very well. This was the first time I ever left my cats. It was because of Amanda that I was able to enjoy my vacation and not worry about my precious babies at home. Thank you Rover and thank you Amanda!! ♡♡♡”
“Kaya was an amazing find!! We had family in town and booked with her about two weeks ahead of time. We ended up changing plans and she was so accommodating to switching times. I sooo appreciate her and would definitely use her again!!”
“Madeleine did a great job - last minute- and accommodated our needs for Hudson. She even suggested a quick meet and greet which is above and beyond for a same day walk. Hudson was well taken care of and Madeleine is a responsible young woman. Thanks again”
“Outstanding pet sitter. I have an incredibly timid cat and Taylor was able to coax her out for cuddles. He even managed to give her some medication while I was gone. Great communication and pictures of my baby! Above and beyond!”
“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: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love helping them stay happy, healthy, and safe. I've raised my own dogs for over 15 years—all from puppies—and have provided pet care for family and friends throughout that time. I've spent years learning canine body language, assessing behavior, and working alongside professional dog trainers. I have extensive experience with reactive dogs and understand how to safely and confidently meet their needs during walks and daily care. Whether your pet is energetic, anxious, in training, a senior, or has special needs, I'm happy to adapt my care to what makes them feel most comfortable. While I'm not a veterinary professional, I worked in veterinary diagnostics for nearly 10 years, giving me a strong understanding of animal health and behavior. I'm comfortable administering medications to both dogs and cats, can provide basic first aid if needed, and have experience caring for senior pets and those with medical needs. One of my own dogs struggled with severe anxiety, and through patience, training, and consistency she grew into a calm, happy companion, giving me firsthand experience supporting dogs that need a little extra understanding. I currently offer walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. My goal is to care for every pet as if they were my own, following your routines closely so they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide dependable care for your pets. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting on both weekdays and weekends after 10:00 AM. I'll always communicate clearly about my availability and make every effort to accommodate your pet's routine whenever possible. I currently offer walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I'll follow your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special routines or training. During walks, I prioritize your pet's safety by paying close attention to their body language, avoiding situations that may cause stress, and ensuring they're secure at all times. I'll also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Because I have a reactive dog at home, I don't offer boarding or doggy daycare. This allows me to give my full attention to your pet while they're comfortable in their own home.
About: I am a mother of two twin dogs that are my life! I will always care for your pets as I would my own and provide respectful and exceptional services as requested. I currently am available mornings, evenings, and weekends to spend time with your kiddos! I am happy to enjoy snuggles, pets, walks and outside time! I can follow all instructions, am comfortable with meds or specific foods, and provide responsible service and give your pet lots of love and attention!
“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: 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.
About: Hi, I'm Erin (or Rin to my friends) and I love animals of all kinds. I would be absolutely honored to have the opportunity to take care of your fur baby for you. I have an extensive history of pet sitting, fostering, rehabilitation, and minor training. I was raised by a k9 union military police officer and was taught how to train and care for dogs at an early age. During my adult years I fell in love with cats and have been involved with many rescues and foster groups over the years. I even had the joy of being a caretaker for a colony of cats several years ago. I've also harness trained cats and gotten them trained to go on walks too. I do freelance work from home, so as long as I have access to the Internet I'm able to work from anywhere, giving me plenty of time to spoil your fur baby. I am a work from home freelancer, so as long as I have internet access, I can do my work from pretty much anywhere - which means that I can provide care and adequate supervision for your pets. Though I do have a few cats myself, my roommate watches them while I am on an assignment, so there are no distractions that will get in the way of my caring for your animal(s). I do walk with a cane, so this does limit how many animals I can walk at one time. I do tend to make separate trips if I am unable to walk all animals at once. I prefer having meet and greets prior to assignments, so that I can ask a list of questions I have prepared in advance regarding your animal's required care. For example, I may ask about: - Temperament - Feeding Schedule - Medications - Allowed on Furniture? - Emergency Contacts & What to Do in the event of an Emergency - Potty Break Schedule

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wellington
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!
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! 😁

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:

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.
