“We hate to leave our senior shepherd with anyone. He just means the world to us and he’s got some peculiarities. Theresa immediately gave me confidence he was in good hands and she has proven me right! Cannot recommend her highly enough.”
“I would recommend aslan to anyone looking for someone to care for their pets. She is always on time, communicates quickly and very well with me about my two dogs. My older dog was very nervous when she first started walking them but she has taken the time to get him more comfortable with her and has been very patient.”
About: I grew up in a home filled with a menagerie 2 cats, 2 dogs(one a tripod), a bird, and 2 rabbits that became many! I pursued pet-sitting after college and found my heart. Pet-sitting has allowed me to form close bonds with animals and their owners. I have been pet-sitting for over 25 years and love every minute! My experience shines with elderly pets that require extra care like medications, injections, and even bathing. I am also always up for a good hike with the younger pup(s) and love cats too! My experience with administering medications, and injections comes from first aid training and years of experience on the job. I am an active person and find that pet-sitting keeps me moving! My schedule is extremely flexible and I can fit in most requests ASAP. I follow all instructions and directions from pet parents while pet sitting or dog walking and will make adjustments only if I feel it's in the pet's best interest and only after speaking to the pet parent.

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life. Personally, I adopted my first dog when I was 19 and trained her myself to be a registered service dog. I’ve been a manager at a large horse farm for many years and the kid is going to Europe, leaving me here with only a couple of horses to look after, so I’ll have a lot of time on my hands. To me, there is no better way to spend my extra time than to take care of other peoples animals. I’ve trained under many vets over the years and am experienced in animal first aid, can give shots and know a lot about taking care of all animals. I have 2 dogs of my own that I love to death and will be able to stay home with my fiancé while I care for your babies, like I care for my own. I work from 8-4 with the horses right now until after circuit ends and then starting in May I work only from 9-1! I’m able to bring them to the dog park, take them for walks or do whatever their favorite thing is! I will stick to whatever routine you as the parent sets for me. Whether that’s taking them for walks, taking them to the dog park or dog beach or hanging out with them in the backyard and playing fetch!
About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was very young. Growing up in a family that always had a dog around, and taking care of family and neighbors pets while they were on vacation has given me a lot of experience. As an adult, I’ve always had pets of my own. I currently work full time as a teacher, and I will take dogs for a walk in the morning before leaving to work. I am usually home at 3:15 pm, easily providing them another break as soon as I get home. During the summer and on holidays, I am home all day. I live in a townhouse without a fenced yard, but I provide walks to the animals I am carrying for every 2-3 hours. I can also accommodate small pets that are used to using a wee wee pad. I have plenty of room inside for pets to play.
“Pam has been so helpful in making sure my babies get attention when I work long hours or go out of town. I am so thankful for her help. My pups seem to really enjoy her visits as well.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Wellington on Rover is $21.09 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,307 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wellington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Wellington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Wellington.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellington. On Rover:
- 95% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
