“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!”
“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 have taken care of dogs since I was little and have recently started an evening job, and need things to do during the day! I love all dogs and can’t wait to meet your bubs. Because every dog is called bubs by me!! I am very flexible and have all mornings available, all mid day, and most evenings. I am a bar tender so I have my schedule set and can give plenty of notice of when I’m available. I follow instructions thoroughly and am also intuitive to animals needs. I have a dog of my own, and I expect any dog watcher to be present and keep my dog safe and healthy.
About: I have taken care of dogs all ages and sizes since I was 13. From dropping in to feed them to staying overnight, my neighbors and family friends have always trusted me to take care of their furry friends! I am currently working part-time which gives me the flexibility to hangout with your furry friends as well! I am available during mornings and most evenings! My services do not include care in my home. However, I can easily let dogs out to use the bathroom, feed them, and take them out on walks depending on your requests!
“Mackenzie was great for our meet and greet and very reliable for our drop in visit! Our dogs obviously felt very comfortable with her and appreciated the company while we were gone.”
“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!”
“Isabella is great. She’s a great communicator, flexible and reliable. Bowie got a little bit of a sinus infection going on and she was willing to help administer his medication during her drop-in. I will definitely book again!”
“Jade was great with my pup and very patient as he can take a bit to warm up with new people. She’s very communicative and reliable. Highly recommend and will definitely call on her again to take care of Benny. Thanks for being so caring with him!”
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.
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.
“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!”
About: I have cared for pups to elderly dogs. I mostly worked with large dogs, and I currently have a Black Mouth Cur and a Boxer mix. We also did have a Doberman. With taking some time off of work, I have weekdays during the day available. I am available most days Monday through Sunday during the days. I utilize treats and leases to make sure your dog is safe with me. I believe in positive reinforce and have been through many dog training classes that use this thinking.
“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!!”
“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!”
“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: 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Wellington on Rover is $16.65 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,195 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wellington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wellington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellington. On Rover:
- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
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.
