About: As a mother of five grown children and a devoted dog owner, I have spent much of my life caring for others with patience, kindness, and responsibility. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have often helped friends by looking after their pets when they were away or in need of extra support. Through these experiences, I have learned that every pet has its own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I take the time to understand and adapt to each one. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and understand the importance of providing them with love, attention, and a sense of security. Now that my children are grown, I am excited to dedicate my time to helping other families by caring for their pets as if they were my own. I'm currently not working, which allows me to provide plenty of companionship, attention, and flexibility for the pets in my care. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy having animals as part of my day.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wellington
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! :)

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.

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.

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.
