“Theresa was fabulous! I have an older cat who needs to be fed 2x/day. I was away for 4 days. Theresa let me know how my kitty was doing, took lots of pictures, and left the apartment very clean. I loved how well she communicated with me and made sure we were all set ahead of time. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for both. I currently have five cats and a dog, have successfully potty trained two puppies, and have helped care for cats through four different births and their newborn kittens. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. 🐾 I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine, so fitting in walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins comes naturally. make sure every pet feels comfortable and cared for by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I’m happy to handle feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, litter boxes, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide to make sure your pet feels safe and at home while you’re away.

About: Ever since I was 11 years old I took care of my parent’s animals. We had cats, dogs and even lizards. I have pet-sat for neighbors and family as well: rats, mice, and more. I’m a “cat charmer” that can handle even the shyest of animals. I work from home and need a reliable internet connection for overnight stays. I can easily stop by on weekends and after work to take care of all your pet’s needs. I can work any and all days of the week. I have a single acre with a fenced in yard. There are two dogs and 4 cats (3 with polydactyly) that love to run around and play. I also provide a healthy dose of cuddles as they all love to ask. (I happily oblige.)

About: I’ve been around animals including dogs, cats, and horses a majority of my life and have been working/volunteering at animal shelters and a therapeutic horseback riding center for about 6 years. I’ve loved and cared for animals of all ages from puppies and kittens to seniors 🐾 I have plenty of experience with animals who face behavioral obstacles such as anxiety or reactivity. I’m comfortable with administering medications or following established training plans to help keep them happy, healthy, and successful. I treat every pet as if they were my own and provide them with all the mental and physical enrichment that they need, including plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles! My time will be fully devoted to providing individualized care for your fur baby :) I’m also CPR and First Aid AHA certified and work as a part-time EMT, so I’m comfortable responding calmly and appropriately in emergency situations as your pet’s safety is my absolute priority🐱🐩💕 My schedule is pretty flexible as I just work 2-3 days a week, but I can work around and accommodate you however you need with proper scheduling and communication! I’m currently working part time, but on my days off I’ll have lots of time to dedicate to your fur babies! My availability is pretty flexible. I prefer to have a run down of the pets’ routine or any quirks they might have when I am house sitting. I’m a strong believer in sticking to their usual routine and making the animals comfortable!

About: I’ve cared for my own pets for over 10 years, so I know the love, patience, and attention every animal deserves. I treat your pets like family—because that’s how I’ve always done it. With a work schedule from 6 AM to 1 PM, I’m available for pet care in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends—just when pets need attention the most. Reliable, consistent, and always ready for belly rubs and walks! Caring for my own pets has always been about more than just feeding and walking—it’s about daily love, patience, and attention to their needs. I make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and part of the family. From regular exercise and playtime to cuddles and quiet company, I focus on building trust and making sure each pet feels secure and loved.

About: We offer reliable, loving care for your furry family members, including sitting, walks, and specialized nanny services right in your home. Rest easy knowing they are pampered and safe just like mines are at home! We have 10 years of experience including disabled and rescued ones. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I intentionally build my schedule around consistency, reliability, and attentiveness; qualities that pets thrive on. Daily routines include walks, feeding, playtime, and wellness check-ins, while weekly routines allow for longer engagement such as extended walks, enrichment activities, and personalized care based on each pet’s needs. Caring for pets is not something I “fit in” when convenient, it’s a responsibility I prioritize. I plan my time to ensure pets receive focused attention, proper exercise, and genuine companionship. This structured yet flexible approach allows me to adapt to different energy levels, temperaments, and care instructions while maintaining dependable service for pet parents. I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine, temperament, and specific needs. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication administration (if applicable), and any special care requirements. I also provide updates and photos to keep pet parents informed and reassured. Pets are treated like family, with a focus on comfort, safety, and emotional well-being. My goal is always to create a trusted, stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I’ve had taken care of dogs and cats ever since I was 5. I’ve always had a pet in my home and my love for them grew fonder after working at an animal shelter for several years. I have fostered dogs, bringing them back to health after tragic experiences, as well as pet sat. Needless to say, if you want someone to treat your pet as if they were their own, someone who isn’t in it for the money; hire me! (: I currently work a full time job. My hours vary so I would stop by in the morning, during lunch (if close by), and in the evening. If the option is presented I would prefer to stay over to pet sit. I would care for the pets in the clients home. Whether it be staying over so that the pet is not alone, or dropping in several times a day to take them out, feed them, and spend time with them. I would not have pets in my home unless they are cats as I live with a roommate who has a cat.

About: Driven by a deep love for animals, I’ve dedicated myself to creating safe and nurturing spaces for pets. My journey began at a doggy daycare, where I gained hands-on experience bathing, walking, and interacting with dogs daily. Since then, I’ve continued to support local dog owners by offering dependable, compassionate care for their beloved companions. I work part-time, with some days consisting of 8-hour shifts. Outside of my scheduled work hours, I’m home with the pets for most of the day and can give them plenty of attention, affection, and care. My schedule varies depending on my shifts, but I do my best to maintain their routines and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I work hard to make sure every pet feels comfortable while they’re with me. I always follow their usual routine. Whether that’s sticking to specific meal times, giving medications, or anything else their owners request. They get multiple walks a day, lots of attention, and plenty of time to relax or play, depending on what they enjoy. Since I’m available most hours of the day, they’re rarely left alone. I make sure to maintain a clean household if your pet is to have any accidents. I want you to come back home in the same condition you left it as.

About: I have worked with children and animals for as long as I can remember. Nothing gives me more joy than being able to spend my time sharing love and care with the ones who need it most. I worked as a nanny for over a decade while putting myself through school, earning a masters degree in psychology. Throughout that time, taking care of their pets was often part of my responsibility. When they went away, they knew their pets would have family still with them. I have lived with and around animals my whole life. I have owned both dogs and cats and can handle medication administration as needed. What sets me apart from other sitters is my professionalism. You are ensured consistency and reliability from beginning to end. From the first introduction, you will feel confident that your pet is in good hands. I put a lot of care, dedication, and energy into everything I do. Working with animals on a part-time basis allows me to focus the rest of my time on the projects I am passionate about. Since my schedule is entirely my own, I have a lot of flexibility and can work with you to meet your needs. I know just how scary it is to leave your pet with someone new. Because I have spent my life dedicated to caretaking, I have always expected the most from my personal pet sitters. I’m so happy to be able to pay that forward. You deserve to get some rest when you are away! That starts with open and responsive communication, reliability, and honesty. I approach this job the way I do anything…with hard work! I will love your pet like it’s my own, and am prepared to go the extra mile if any emergency should arise.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life, from riding horses to having dogs as part of the family. I regularly help care for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs, whether through daily walks, pet sitting, or just giving them some extra attention when needed. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet like my own. My schedule is pretty open right now! I’m happy to play with your pup until 7 PM, give them walks, attention, and plenty of love. care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable. I don’t take pets to my house, and I always keep a close, consistent eye on them to ensure their safety and well-being.

About: Hi, I’m Hope! I’m a lifelong animal lover and pet owner with experience caring for cats, dogs, rodents, fish, reptiles, and pets with unique needs. I’ve pet sat on and off for many years for family friends and neighbors, and I also worked at a science museum where I assisted with the handling and care of reptiles and other animals. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks, whether that means extra playtime, patience with a shy animal, or carefully following specific feeding and care instructions. I currently have a 3-year-old tuxedo cat named Soup Du Jour, who is wonderfully spoiled and has some medical needs, including oral medication every other day, allergies, stomach issues, and dietary restrictions. Because of her, I’m very comfortable with medication routines, special diets, chronic conditions, and paying close attention to changes in behavior or health. I’m also always happy to learn any specific care skills your pet may need. I love getting to know each pet’s individual personality and quirks. Whether that means playing tag for thirty minutes, repeating the one specific toy movement they’ve decided is The Best Thing Ever, or simply giving them space and patience, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them feel safe and comfortable. I know pets can be funny, particular, and wonderfully odd, especially when their people are away, so I do my best to keep their routine familiar and their environment calm. And because I’m Gen Z and practically always have my phone nearby, you can count on plenty of updates, photos, and notes so you still get to see all the cute things they do while you’re gone. At the moment, I’m living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible schedule and will be in the area for the foreseeable future. I’m excited to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care for pets of all kinds! I’m currently living at home while on leave from UC Berkeley, so I have a very flexible and open schedule. I’ll be in the area for the foreseeable future, not just over a short school break, and I’m happy to work with both recurring and occasional pet care needs. Because I’m managing some health conditions, there may be occasional times when I need to plan around appointments or lower-energy days, but I’m very communicative and thoughtful about the commitments I take on. If I agree to care for your pet, you can trust that I’ve made sure I have the time, energy, and availability to give them reliable, attentive care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as familiar, calm, and comfortable as possible. I’ll carefully follow all instructions for feeding, medications, walks, litter boxes, playtime, and any household rules, and I’m always happy to learn the specific details that make your pet feel safe. I know animals can be sensitive to changes when their people are away, so I’ll pay close attention to their body language, energy level, appetite, and mood while giving them the kind of care they prefer — whether that means active play, quiet companionship, patience, or extra reassurance. I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated with photos, notes, and anything important I notice during my visit.

I have already left a review for Crystal. Fawn-z likes her. He seems to respond to Crystal favorably. He appears to be happy once we get home. Our house is neat and clean; the same way we left it is how it looks when we get back home. Crystal is trustworthy. She loves and respects animals. You can't ask for better than that from a pet sitter. We are thrilled that we found Crystal and that Fawn-z feels comfortable with her. He's the judge and he definitely gives her a well-deserved 5-star rating.

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Wellington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Wellington is $24 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $39 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 November 2026, there are 519 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 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 Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellington. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% 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 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.
