“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!”
“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.”
About: I've spent a lot of my life taking care of animals, particularly cats. I have a Zoology degree and experience with developing commands and various training exercises as well as handling proper food intake and oral medicine intake. I am available every day, most of the day! It will vary per-day but as long as I have a two-day notice I should absolutely be available! I will be vigilant with your pets, making sure that they get enough attention and do not get into anything that they shouldn't. If there are any specific rules that you have in your home or for your pet I will make sure to follow them to ensure a safe and happy experience for your animals!
“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!!”
“Erinn went above and beyond for our Goose! She was present, sent lots of pictures, gave a detailed report, and even went to check on Goose an extra time while we were out of town. We would absolutely trust her to come back again. 10/10!”
“Rebekah was really great. She sent us pictures every day of our cats. She played with them and gave them affection. They were really happy and content when we came home.”
“Tyler took great care of our 2 kitties! We received detailed updates and lots of photos. We really appreciated the care and attention to detail that went into each visit. Thanks, Tyler!”
About: Premium Weekend Care by NOCO Pet Concierge I am a lifelong dog owner, a puppy trainer through Freedom Service Dogs, and the proud owner of a second-generation HABIC certified therapy Boxer at CSU. Whether you have a high-energy pup or a senior dog requiring precise liquid or pill medications, my background ensures your dog receives structured, highly capable, and fully insured care. As a retired veteran and civil servant, home security and safety are my top priorities. As a full-time employee at the VA, my weekdays are strictly structured, which is why NOCO Pet Concierge is intentionally designed as a premium, dedicated weekend and holiday service. My pet care routine kicks off every Friday evening and runs straight through Sunday night. Because I do not have weekday work distractions during these windows, your pets and property receive my 100% undivided attention. My personal daily routine already revolves tightly around structured animal care—I manage a regular feeding, exercise, and training schedule for my own 8-year-old Boxer (a certified CSU HABIC therapy dog) and my two cats and horse. I seamlessly bring this same level of disciplined, routine-oriented care, medication timing, and property security to my client's homes every single weekend. Because cats, dogs, thrive best in their own familiar environments, NOCO Pet Concierge operates 100% on-site at the client’s home. I do not offer boarding services in my own home. When caring for pets in a client's home, my approach centers on maintaining their exact established routine to minimize stress. • For Dogs: I focus on structured, safe exercise, strict adherence to feeding times, and the precise administration of any necessary medications (pills or liquids). Having trained and owned a therapy dog, I emphasize positive reinforcement, calm energy, and clear boundaries. • For Cats: I respect their individual boundaries, ensuring they have a clean litter box, fresh water, proper nutrition, and engaging playtime or gentle companionship based on their age and comfort level.
About: I have experience watching dogs, cats, and reptiles. I have cared for very young kittens and dogs in the end of there lives, as well as sick reptiles. I work from 7-3:30 weekdays, and am looking to work with pets on weekends and after work. My weekends are very free and I am flexible. I have reliable transportation with my car, and my home has a fenced in yard. I am comfortable driving to clients homes or hosting pets in my home.
“Becca is super easy to work with and our cat loves her! She has a very calm energy about her and has two cats herself. 10/10 recommend for your future pet care needs!”
About: I have owned and cared for dogs my whole life and I cannot imagine living without them. I LOVE to take my high-energy dog on a variety of activities such as, walks, hikes, runs, and playing fetch with him! And I would love to lend a hand and help a fellow pet parents out by caring for your loved ones when you are away🫶🏼🐶 I am a graduate student with evening flexibility throughout the week and weekends and full day availability on Mondays and Fridays. Let’s plan something together! I am a very trustworthy person who would be very considerate when entering someone else’s space. That same goes with caring for your furry friend.
About: Throughout my childhood, I grew up with dogs. While I do not currently have a dog, I take care of my parents’ dog and three cats when they are out of town. I am also a cat mom to a lil kitten named Merlin. I would love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets! Whether it’s taking them on walks, feeding them, or just hanging out with them while you are gone. I love animals so much, I decided to get a degree in the conservation of them! I am currently in between jobs meaning that I can care for your pets anytime! Whether you need me weekdays, weekends or even if you are going on a trip, I am very flexible! While I am not comfortable hosting pets in my home at this time with a kitten, I am more than happy to walk dogs, do day visits or pet sitting while you are gone on a trip.
“If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Audrey was super attentive in her house visits for my kitty while I was out of town. My senior kitty, Josie, is a little shy and doesn’t warm up easily sometimes. She loved Audrey and was a proper lap cat with her! Audrey spent extra effort to cater to her needs, and I could tell how happy Josie was from the photos Audrey posted. I absolutely recommend her!!”
About: I grew up with dogs in my house all the time. Whether they were my family's or we were petsitting for friends, I have taken care of my fair share of dogs of all different breeds and sizes. I am a college student, so my weekends are totally free as well as my afternoons on weekdays. A walk with your dog would be a great way for me to take a break from my busy school schedule. I have lots of dog walking experience with all kinds of dogs. I am a dog lover but do not currently have on of my own. I would love to be able to take your dog out for some exercise!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wellington is $17 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $10 and $30 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,181 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wellington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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 sitter.
