“Sam is the best! She cares for our three kitties as though they are her own. Our girls aren't the easiest, they come with lots of instructions and they each have their own distinct personalities and Sam loves each of them just the way they are and does such a good job every time we book her. Thank you!”
“Heather was absolutely fabulous and will 100% be booking her the next time I am out of town! As this was my first time leaving my kittens for multiple days I was a bit nervous, but Heather did a phenomenal job calming my nerves and taking care of the kitties. She sent a plethora of photos and videos and recounted a detailed account of each visit. She was incredibly kind both with her care and her communications with me. Highly recommend booking her to watch your pets, you will not regret it!”
“Rachael was great with our dog Ruthie while we were away. We had a friend staying with her for the week but Rachael helped out with mid day breaks while he was at work. She sent pics every day which made us feel so much better. Would definitely recommend Rachael for your pet sitting needs!”
“Didn't even think to ask for pictures but she took multiple good ones which is always good for reassurance. It was my first time using her and rover but will definitely be using her again in the future.”
“Ciara was awesome. I felt comfortable overseas knowing Freya was in good hands. Ciara took care of everything and even developed a bond with Freya. I'd be excited to use Ciara again in the future.”
“This was my first time using Rover, and Lauran made the entire experience so easy and stress-free. She kept me updated daily with messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. She truly went above and beyond when any issues came up. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Eleanor went above and beyond, retrieving an important piece of mail that arrived while we were away. And our pup was well taken care of, as usual!”
“Overall great experience. Not only was everything seamless but Mariah did a great job of taking pictures and updating me on each visit. This was not only very reassuring but also quite entertaining as well :)”
“Donai was exceptional! I knew when she came to meet Alice and Hank and she got on the floor to meet them, and asked for some treats to win them over, that she had already won over my approval. She gave me daily updates and daily pictures. It made me so happy on my trip to both see them, and also see that they were being well cared for and loved. Would definitely book Donai again!!”
“Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!”
“Laura was great with communication, very professional and so great with my pup! She was able to help me out last minute. After meeting her, I could tell she genuinely loves animals so I knew my dog was in good hands.”
“Bayley was awesome with drop in visits for our dog! She took great care of her, especially responding to her fear of storms, which were plentiful while we were gone. She also quickly accepted our request to extend services after our return flight was cancelled. Highly recommended!”
About: What truly sets me apart is my nine years of comprehensive, hands-on experience caring for my family's pets, consistently since 2016. My reliable background is further proven by my time dog sitting and walking for several friends, demonstrating comfort and expertise with pets outside my own home. I'm proficient in managing both large and small breeds, having cared for a Pitbull and a Yorkie, giving me confidence with all energy and handling needs. My experience also extends to cats. I rescued a cat that I found on the street, which highlights my patience and skill in providing gentle care for nervous or shy animals. I am reliable, versatile, and deeply committed to recognizing and meeting the individual needs of both dogs and cats. Pet care fits easily into my current schedule, ensuring your pets receive focused attention without being rushed. I work part-time as a Paraoptometric Technician and dedicate other free time to volunteering, but I intentionally keep large, consistent blocks open for pet care. My reliable availability includes Tuesday afternoons, Thursday mornings and afternoons, and full availability on weekends. This structure guarantees I can provide reliable, high-quality care, whether your pet needs a mid-day walk, or regular drop-in visits. My main goal is to create a stress-free and loving experience for your pet right in their familiar environment. When I care for your dog or cat, I focus entirely on their comfort and routine. I'm meticulous about following your exact instructions for feeding, medication, and walks, making sure their schedule feels perfectly normal. I also know that security is important, so you can trust me to be mindful of your home while I provide care. I'm skilled at providing gentle companionship—like I do for my own rescue cat—which is especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. You can count on me for excellent care, a tidy pet area, and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how happy they are!
“Cody was amazing! He took great care of my cat Sebastian while I was out of town. He even went the extra mile and fixed my automatic litter box when it stopped working. This was my first time using this app and I couldn't have been more happy with my experience!”
“Carolina and Jenerth were excellent cat sitters and would 100% book with them again! my cat is very shy, but they were able to get her out from under the bed and playing. They went the extra mile with her as well as with my home. Each day, I received thoughtful updates and adorable photos, which made me feel at ease. Highly recommend this them for anyone needing a compassionate and dedicated caregiver!”

Rhonda is an absolute gem! She followed our care instructions to a T, and every visit came with thoughtful updates and sweet little descriptions of what my baby girl was up to. The photos she sent were seriously amazing, I looked forward to every single one. It’s clear she genuinely loves the fur babies she cares for. I’d rebook with Rhonda in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation!
Rachael was very professional, communicative, and caring for our kitty cat, Remy, while we were on vacation. He was very happy with the care she provided, and he was well-fed and well-loved while we were gone. We will definitely request her services for our next trip!
Adeline was absolutely superb!! She watched my 3 cats while I was away getting married and I had absolutely 0 worries while they were in her care. She would send updates/pics daily and let me know of any issues right away and was even able to do medications for one of my fussy guys; would absolutely recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wellington on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 571 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellington. On Rover:
- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 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.
