About: 🐾 Hi there! I’m so excited to meet your furry family member! ❤️ As a lifelong animal lover, I know that every pet deserves love, patience, and lots of attention. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or just relaxing with a new friend, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. 🐶🐱 ✨ Here’s what you can expect when you book with me: 🐾 Plenty of love, cuddles, and playtime 🚶 Fun, safe walks at your dog’s pace 💧 Fresh water and feeding exactly as instructed 📸 Daily photo and video updates so you never miss a moment 💬 Quick communication and reliable care ❤️ Lots of patience and personalized attention for every pet I understand how important trust is when choosing someone to care for your best friend. I’ll treat your pet like they’re part of my own family, making sure they receive the love, comfort, and attention they deserve. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease from the moment we meet. I can’t wait to meet you and your amazing companion! Let’s make their time with me fun, safe, and full of tail wags! 🐾✨ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m consistent, responsible,🐾 and used to working around animals’ needs. With dog care specifically, I plan my day around their schedule—morning walks, feeding, bathroom breaks, and making sure they start the day active and comfortable. I make time during the day to check on them, give water, and provide attention or short play sessions so they stay calm and don’t get bored. In the evening, I keep a structured routine with feeding, another walk, and a final bathroom break before bedtime. I also use that time for basic care like cleaning up after them and making sure they’re safe and settled for the night. Weekly, I stay on top of things like cleaning food and water bowls, picking up waste consistently, and making sure the dog stays healthy, active, and well cared for. I’m reliable with routines, so I can keep a dog’s schedule stable, which helps them feel secure and well behaved. I care for pets with a strong focus on safety, trust, and respecting the environment they are in. In a client’s home, I always follow the owner’s instructions closely so the dog stays in a familiar routine and feels comfortable. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times to prevent escapes, and I supervise dogs during walks, feeding, and playtime. I keep the environment clean by picking up after the dog immediately, making sure food and water bowls are clean, and preventing anything unsafe from being left within reach. I also pay attention to the dog’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off or if they need extra care or attention. Most importantly, I treat the client’s home with respect—keeping things organized, locking up properly, and making sure everything is left as it was or cleaner. I aim to build trust by being reliable, responsible, and consistent so both the pet and owner feel safe and comfortable with me.🐶

“Debbie was awesome sitter for my two kitties. She met us before the booking and clearly explained everything to us being new to Rover services. Cats absolutely loved her. She provided great care and updates daily and we found the house and kitties in excellent condition after our return. I would recommend Debbie to everyone. We will definitely be a returning customer.”

About: I have watched several different breeds from all age ranges. Some have needed special foods, medication, and routines that I have accommodated for. I have taken care of small to large sized dogs. For cats I have a history of taking care of them. I work part time so I have availability. I can let them out to walk every 4-5 hours, can mostly fit my schedule to your needs. I provide pets with fresh food and water, regular exercise and playtime, a clean and safe environment, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home I follow their care instructions closely, including schedules, medication, walks, litter box or cage cleaning. Overall just keeping the pet comfortable when boarding or doing a drop-in visit. As for just walking I like to keep the dog leashed, give them 20-30 minutes of exercise, or longer like 45 for more high energy dogs.
“We have booked Anabel 3 times now and will continue to re-book with her! Our 2 girls absolutely love when she comes to visit. She is reliable, always sends multiple pictures, and keeps me updated on how the girls are doing while we are away! Thank you for all that you do Anabel!!”

“If you have a furry friend or a furry baby, that you love with all your heart, then Pam is definitely the way to go for pet care or sitting. Pam is so loving and attentive, looking out for the needs of our baby that we intend to use her time and time and time again. She is absolutely the best and it’s all the little tiny things that arise when you’re away that you don’t think of in the planning and she took care of it for us. She’s a real pro! She’s an A+ 5 stars all the way, Trust me you can contact me if you want a personal written reference because I understand ou babies are our family & most precious possessions and gifts from God. Thank you Pam for everything. Pam’s professionalism is above and beyond we could tell from the first five minutes of the interview that she was the one. She bought her little notebook. She wrote notes she asked questions she answered our questions. I’m telling you the others perspective sitters we interviewed couldn’t come close to the knowledge and ability the references that Pam has. So we knew right away who we were going to go with like within five minutes. We knew in five minutes Pam was who we were going to entrust our baby Coco to . Thx Rover…. if not for your sites or your app, we would’ve never found this wonderful woman thank you. She was a godsend to us.”

“Theresa is an absolute ROCKSTAR. I couldn’t get my pup outside to go potty before I had to rush to work so I was worried she would be cooped up all day. Theresa responded to my request within less than a minute, and was at my house walking my dog in less than an hour. Keep in mind, my dog is a very nervous rescue, so it can be tricky to get her harness on but Theresa is so gentle and understanding with her. She took my pup for a walk and got her to go potty and stretch her legs so now I don’t have to spend all day worried about my pup. I cannot recommend Theresa enough!!! She is the BEST!!!”


About: Hi! I’m Tamara, and if your pet stays with me, they’ll be treated like family from the moment they walk through the door. ❤️ I’ve always had a soft spot for animals, and getting to care for them honestly doesn’t feel like work to me. Every pet has their own little personality, routines, and quirks, and I love getting to know what makes each one happy. Whether your dog loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or would rather spend the day snuggled up on the couch, I’m happy to meet them where they’re most comfortable. When you’re away, my goal is to make your pet feel as safe, loved, and stress-free as possible. I stick closely to their normal routine, follow every instruction carefully, and make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and exercise based on their individual needs. I also know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone else. That’s why I send lots of photo updates and messages throughout their stay so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I want you to feel like you’re right there with them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety, happiness, and comfort always come first. I pay close attention to their behavior, make sure they have a clean and cozy environment, and treat them with the same love and patience I’d want for my own pets. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member, and I hope to become someone you can count on whenever you need a trusted sitter!! I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I care for. Whether we’re out for a walk, playing, or simply relaxing together, I love making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and cared for throughout the day. Since I’m home often, I’m also able to provide companionship and make sure pets aren’t left alone for long periods of time while their owners are away! Safety starts with understanding each pet as an individual. Before caring for a new pet, I take the time to learn their routine, personality, comfort level, and any important details from their owner. Knowing what is normal for each pet helps me provide better care and recognize when something may be different. In my home, I provide a calm and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and receive plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space for supervised outdoor time, play, and enrichment while still making sure each pet’s safety comes first. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would want for my own. I keep their routine consistent, follow instructions carefully, and make sure they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I believe good pet care is about being attentive, patient, and proactive. I pay attention to changes in behavior, energy levels, eating habits, and overall well-being, and I keep owners updated so they always feel connected and informed!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wellington
As always, Taylor was excellent with my two fur babies, even if one of them never came out from under the bed. The other one was always out and about and very much appreciated the extra love! When the litter-robot broke down, Taylor was in chat with me trying to get it working again, even tho I was half-way across the world. Extra kudos for going the extra mile!

Amanda was AMAZING with our cat! She was our savior last minute! She provided us with great photos, report card and communicated efficiently! She takes care of pets like they are her own! We felt at ease and never once had a doubt or drop of anxiety that lot of pet parents feel! Thank you Amanda!

Thank you Alexnder! Once again you deliver. Always so good with our "children" they love you. Also able to help us out at short notice! Highly recommend and give 5 stars! If you want someone you can count on, and know your babies are in good hands, I would ask for Alexander!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wellington on Rover is $25.53 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of July 2026, there are 1,831 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.

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.
