About: I've rescued four senior dogs and have done a lot of work to rehabilitate them physically and mentally. (one dog in home currently) I would love to come walk your fur child if you can't get home from work on time or if you need an overnight care situation - I got you! I keep your dog separate from my dog always, just to avoid any accidents! Currently working full time so I'm available after hours or weekends only. Would love to do a drop in at your place or an overnight if you needed, too. I live in a condo so I'm only able to visit you for drop-ins or sitting/walking services. I know when I go out of town, I hope to find someone just like me to care for my babes. You can trust I'll spend the time and share the most love.
“Megan was wonderful, she sent me so many photos and videos and handled my very jumpy, hyper dog so well. Additionally this was an incredibly last- minute ask, so I'm so grateful to her for accepting and helping me out in a pinch!”

About: I have worked with and been around all kinds of pets my entire life. I have owned many different kinds of dogs including high energy breeds. My father uses cocker spaniels, brittanys, and labradors to hunt. When he wasn't hunting with them, I trained and took care of them. We even bred out labradors. I also have a good amount of experience with cats and a great deal of experience with horses. I know horses have nothing to do with this, BUT if I can take care of a half ton heard animal I can definitely handle your high energy doodle! At the moment, I am very free to take care of your pet everyday. Once a day tues-sun i have to go to the barn to ride my horses. I wont be gone more than 4 hours to do that. My days will get busier around fall and I am occasionally away at horse shows. I live in a cozy yet spacious apartment. Kept organized and clean. Perfect for cats or the mild energy dog. I dont have a fenced yard so if your dog needs free range that is something i cant provide day to day. But I can always bring them to dog parks or sniff spots if that is something you would like. I can provide twice daily walks or more if needed. *********IMPORTANT: My dog (Luca) is susceptible to parasites, especially giardia. He is on preventative and has all his vaccinations , but I cannot allow or take on UNVACCINATED or UNPROTECTED pets. I can’t take a dog that is showing any signs or symptoms of a parasite or other illness. If your dog is vomiting or has loose stool and diarrhea, please contact your vet because they could be a great danger to others they may encounter. Please make sure your dog is perfectly healthy before requesting any kind of boarding. Please be responsible, truthful, and honorable when booking sitting or boarding for your dog. Thank you! ***********
About: I started working with animals back in 2006 at the humane society of Broward county and have always loved working with them. Dogs/cats. Ive also worked at different vet hospitals throughout my career. I've worked as Kennel staff as well as vet tech work and assisting the Veterinary Doctor I work part time right now, and love animals so I thought why not pet sit for people that need the help. I have availability and always love meeting new dogs and cats and becoming friends. I make sure the doors are closed so the dogs and or cats cannot escape. I always use a leash again for the safety of the animals. We dont need any dogs getting loose. :)
About: I am very patient and loving I will spoil your fur babies I have a clean home that I keep nice and cool my patio is fully screened in. I allow the dogs on my bed and couch they will be given treats toys fresh wAter and belly rubs and played with and walked and napped . They will also be fed cleaned if needed and very pampered. I am also very trust worthy and responsible. Your dog will be treated like mine. I will also bathe and brush your dog if needed I will watch tv with them and interact them with my two dogs. I will calm them if we have storms I will hug and kiss them like babies because they are fur babies.I also do require a meet and greet at my home to see how we get along , I also will suggest sometimes a royal overnight to see how your baby and I will interact. Also as a courtesy , I do prefer if you have a younger active dog to bring a crate or a pen for their safety also a little pet bed so they feel more at home . Of course once I get familiar with your babies I do allow them on my couch and in my bed and they will become lifetime companions and they will love to come here time and time again I currently babysit Part Time and some days I don’t so I am available pretty much of the time to watch your babies and give them all my attention I do not have a fenced in yard I have a small enclosed screen room in my downstairs and an enclosed screen room on my balcony upstairs which the little babies can play in and get some outside fresh air however if they need a big yard to run around it would not be good for them

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wellington
Debbie was amazing! From our first initial contact, she was always responsive & kind! To trust someone with the care of your fur-babies when you are traveling can feel overwhelming. However, Debbie’s kind & sweet daily messages while we were gone made me realize we had found the best person to care & love our pets! She did everything I instructed & went above & beyond to make sure all our pets felt loved and cared for at each check-in. I would recommend Debbie to anyone & will definitely use her again in the future!
Crystal took the best care of our 2 fur babies while we were on vacation. She had the special touch and our pups warmed right up to her. Crystal communicated daily and let me know that my babies were doing well. I love being kept in touch with in real time and Crystal nailed it! We will definitely be working with Crystal for all future needs.
I cannot recommend Joanne highly enough. She has been incredibly reliable, caring, and attentive with my dog. Her professionalism, punctuality, and genuine love for animals gave me complete peace of mind. I always know my dog was safe, happy, and well cared for in her hands.
Katie did a fantastic job caring for our two dogs. She was 100% reliable, prompt, and followed all of our instructions “to a T”. But most importantly, the dogs absolutely loved her — and that is saying a lot because they are both rescues (of course!) and our boy is actually very fearful and timid around new people. It was clear from the first meeting that Katie knows how to read canine body language and win over even scared or wary dogs. I felt totally comfortable leaving my babies in her capable hands, and she did not disappoint. She also assisted with the senior paraplegic foster dog we were caring for at the time of her visits, and was very capable of helping him to stand up and go potty using his special back-end lift harness, which can be a challenge for some people to get used to. In general, Katie went above and beyond and was super flexible and willing to accommodate our somewhat unusual needs. I wholeheartedly recommend her, as a loving, gentle, responsible and fully competent caretaker for dogs or cats of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. This is the pet sitter you want when only the best will do for your beloved four-legged family members!!
We used Kristine for the first time yesterday and could not be more pleased! She was punctual and very good with our dogs and was even kind enough to send us a picture of them doing well. I would highly recommend her to anyone wishing that their fur babies are taken such good care of!
Harmony was wonderful with our pup! He can be a little daunting at first with his big bark but that didn’t bother her at all. She was so sweet with him, and honestly we were so happy that we found someone who just instantly understood him. She let us know when she was on the way, when she arrived, and when she was headed out - couldn’t have asked for better communication, and we’re really excited that our pup will have a new friend! 100% recommend her! :)

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Wellington choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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 dog, 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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Wellington with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
