About: I have my own fur baby and I've been a caregiver for 16 years in a home full of dogs 5 to be exact. I play with them , I make sure they have food and water , I take them for walks or let them run around in the back yard and bathe as requested. I love animals. During My Daily schedule I have a 3 hour break in between clients . I'm completely free on the weekends. So I'm pretty flexible to walk your fur baby or check on them. I dont offer in home care at my home but I will gladly offer the services to your fur babies in your home and by doing that I would be checking for bathroom accident or maybe a mess they made by tearing stuff up and clean it up for you.

About: Having grown up surrounded by dogs, I've developed a deep understanding and love for them from an early age! I cared for my own dog until I was 14 and have since looked after many dogs of family and friends. I’m excited to offer my expertise and passion to help those in need, with very flexible hours on my free days! Whether it's taking care of puppies or providing attentive care for senior dogs, I am dedicated to ensuring every dog receives the best possible care! I just graduated from UM! I am currently back in Wellington submitting applications for a masters program. While I am not petsitting, I am babysitting children from ages 1-10 and gaining patient care hours with doctors and PAs to gain more experience in the medical field. My schedule for these jobs are constantly changing, so I will be sure to keep my calendar updated! I love staying productive during my day, and taking care of dogs while helping their owners seems like a perfect way to do that. I’d enjoy having some extra company during my off days and I am happy to offer flexible dog care hours to fit your schedule. Although I don't currently have any dogs of my own, I do have a spacious fenced yard where your dog can happily roam around. I only care for one pet owner’s dog(s) at a time, ensuring your pet receives my undivided attention and full care. Additionally, there's a pool available for supervised playtime, with your consent! If your dog prefers indoor activities or needs a break from the sun, my home offers ample space for indoor play and relaxation. If there is a specific routine you want your dog to follow, i will happily follow up with it and make sure your dog feels like they’re at home. Rest assured, your dog will receive my undivided attention and plenty of fun while in my care. :)

About: Hi, I’m Dani! I know how hard it can be to leave your dog behind when you travel. My goal is to give your pup a happy, comfortable vacation of their own—and give you peace of mind while you enjoy yours! My home is a place for cuddles, playtime, cozy naps, and plenty of love. Whether your dog loves playing with their favorite toy, taking a sniff-filled walk, or simply relaxing nearby, I take time to learn what makes them feel at home. I welcome up to three guest dogs at a time, keeping stays small and personal. I’m also a veterinary technology graduate and work at an animal hospital very close to my home. My background includes boarding, kennel care, and grooming, along with experience caring for senior dogs and administering prescribed medications. That experience helps me pay attention to the little details that matter, from your dog’s appetite to their usual habits and comfort. As a dog mom to two Rottweilers, Koda and Nala, I understand that every dog has their own personality. Guests can have separate spaces from my dogs, and they are never left unsupervised together. You can look forward to photo updates and messages throughout your pup’s stay, so you can see their little vacation moments too! Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, welcome, and loved—and for you to feel comfortable coming back whenever you need care. I speak English and Spanish and would love to meet you and your pup! Pet care is part of my everyday life, both at home and through my work at a nearby animal hospital. On workdays, our time together includes morning care before I leave and walks, playtime, and relaxing together after I return. My days off allow more time for company and activities. Because I work outside the home, I’ll discuss my exact availability, any time your dog would spend alone, and their potty-break needs with you before confirming a stay. Boarding and daycare are offered only when my schedule is a good fit for your pup. Drop-off and pick-up times are arranged in advance so I can be ready to welcome you. I want your pup to feel like a welcome guest from the moment they arrive! I share my home with my two friendly Rottweilers, Koda and Nala, who love meeting other dogs and can be wonderful company for pups who enjoy making friends. I welcome up to three guest dogs at a time, keeping stays small and personal. Playtime and introductions are supervised, with attention to each dog’s comfort and play style. If you prefer your dog to have their own space away from my dogs, I’m happy to arrange that—just let me know before booking. We’ll go over your pup’s meals, sleeping preferences, medications, and favorite routines so I can help them feel at home. You’re welcome to bring their usual food, a favorite toy, or familiar bedding for extra comfort. I recommend a meet-and-greet before a first stay so you and your pup can meet us and get comfortable with the arrangements. Throughout their vacation, you can expect photos, updates, and caring communication!

“Christen was great! She checked in on my cat Christopher several times while I was out of town. Each time, she made sure his litter, food, and water were in good order, took several pictures, and provided a nice write up. Chris is normally fairly shy, but he seemed to warm up to her pretty quickly. Christen was also great at communicating—she always gave me a heads when needed. I'd definitely recommend her!”

About: Hello! I'm Diana, and I am passionate about providing the best care for your beloved pets. What makes me unique is my lifelong experience and heartfelt dedication to animal welfare. Having had dogs my entire life, I have developed a deep understanding and love for our canine companions. I specialize in training puppies and offering compassionate care for senior dogs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and happy. In addition to my personal experience, my full-time job involves caring for a variety of pets, including dogs, fish, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs, turtles, and more. This diverse experience has equipped me with the skills to cater to the unique needs of different animals, making me a versatile and knowledgeable pet sitter. When you entrust your pets to me, you can rest assured they will be treated like family. I am committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where every pet feels at home. Whether it's playtime, mealtime, or just some extra cuddles, I am here to ensure your pets receive the love and attention they deserve. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or scaly, or feathered) friends and providing them with exceptional care. Let's make tails wag and hearts happy together! I currently work full-time Monday to Friday, but I am available to help early mornings and evenings, as well as overnight and all day on weekends. When caring for a pet, I prioritize both warmth and safety to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure. I begin by establishing a routine that closely mirrors their usual schedule, including feeding times, walks, and playtime, to provide a sense of familiarity and stability. I ensure the home environment is safe by checking for any potential hazards and keeping dangerous items out of reach. During our time together, I offer plenty of affection, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement to build trust and make your pet feel loved. I also stay attentive to your dog/cat health, monitoring for any signs of distress or discomfort and keeping you updated on their well-being. With my dedicated care, your dog will enjoy a safe, nurturing, and happy experience in the comfort of their own home.

About: Over 20+ years of experience pet sitting. Reliable and attentive sitter with proven experience providing safe, loving and structured care for dogs and cats. I am dedicated to maintaining routines, daily walks, feeding schedules, administering oral medications, etc. I can provide house sitting where your pet can stay in their own sanctuary while you are away or your pet can some and stay with me. I also can provide stop-ins where I can walk your pet at designated times that work best for you. I LOVE animals and it is very hard to find someone you can trust that will take care of your pet when you're away. I am providing this service as I know I will always treat any animal like I treat my own - like a Queen. I am an Army veteran and I have a Masters Degree in Information Technology Project Management. Why do I do this? I work remotely so getting any excuse to get out of the house to go and see a happy dog - I am there for it. Instead of dreaming about acquisitions and spreadsheets, I get to dream about dogs. How great is that? Please reach out to me if you have any questions and I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I work from home so I am very open to any schedules that work for you. Working remotely means I will be spending all my time with your pet! I care for any animal like I do my own - with all the love and compassion. Working remotely really lets me take care of any animal 24/7.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and caring for them. I currently have a small senior dog, my sweet little baby (a Yorkie/Maltese mix), so I’m very familiar with daily care, patience, and paying attention to a pets individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and happy. I also helped care for another pet for about a month, where I kept the owner updated daily with photos and messages so they felt reassured their pet was safe and well cared for. They were very happy with the care and even asked me to watch their pet again. I enjoy going on walks and spending quality time playing with pets, but I also understand the importance of being gentle and patient - especially with older or more sensitive animals. I’m committed to treating every pet like family and providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment. Im generally available every day, including evenings and weekends (except Sunday 5-8pm), with most of my time open for walks, playtime, and pet care. I work part-time, but i always comunícate promptly to make sure your pets are cared for reliably. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable enviroment for all pets, whether in my home or theirs. Pets in my care are always supervised, given plenty of attention, and kept on their regular routines for feeding, walks, and playtime. I maintain a clean, safe enviroment and supervise pet closely to prevent them from getting into anything harmful. My own small senior dog has a sensitive stomach, so im used to keeping floors and accessible áreas free of any food or objects that could be dangreous. My goal is to make every pet feel loved, secure, and happy while they’re in my care.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life as well as all kinds of exotic pets. I have also volunteered with Creekside Animal Rescue for 7 years, fostering more than 80 dogs and cats ranging from puppies to seniors and including feral animals and pregnant or recently birthed mothers with litters. I also have volunteer experience at Natalie’s Second Chance Dog Rescue caring for their adoptable dogs daily. I currently work in Loxahatchee but live in West Palm, so driving around the area is no problem. My work schedule is flexible, allowing me to care for your furry friends outside of normal work hours! I am living in an apartment so I am unable to house furry friends in my home. I have a car and a regularly flexible work/personal schedule so I can frequently visit and tend to your home!

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Wellington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Wellington is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $33 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 4,072 sitters on Rover offering Dog 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 92% 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.

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.
