“Thank you so much! Geovanna was wonderful! Very communicative and friendly throughout the whole stay, and they made Sunny feel comfortable and cared for. I felt at ease knowing my pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Jasmine was great she took amazing care of our puppy Bella! Would definitely recommend her. She sent photos and kept us up to date on how Bella was doing constantly. Bella usually shy but she warmed right up to Jasmine when we dropped her off.”
“Fidel was great with my Ares, given he has a dog of his own and how he introduced them to one another told me that he knows how to care for dogs and get them familiar with one another. That gave me confidence in leaving my puppy in his care. My Ares had a grand time there! Look forward to the next I need a doggy sitter!”
“Lidia was super responsive + accommodating for my last minute itinerary changes. She kept me updated on my boy and made sure he had a lot of exercise! Oso enjoyed his time and will definitely spend time with Lidia again! 🙂”
“Alex was very responsive and the dogs seemed to love staying at his house, running in the yard, and playing with Alex's dog Reese. He also sent a lot of pics which was really appreciated! Alex--thanks again for taking care of the twins!”
“Tanya was great! She took excellent care of Hemi and Benzo for an extended weekend. Tanya sent us regular videos/pictures, kept us updated, responded to us promptly and followed all instructions perfectly. Our dogs got plenty of exercise outside during the day and lots of playtime at the dog park too. We really appreciated the reliable and caring service!”
“Amanda was amazing!! We had to book last minute as our initial plans fell through. I was really worried because they can be high maintenance and we had only adopted our one dog a few months ago. She sent us numerous updates showing that they were being loved and cared for, easing my worries. She went above and beyond, even having a fun bubble session with them. If we were to need someone in the area again we would certainly go to Amanda!”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. James was very thorough and kept us updated with pictures each day. Our Dog was very happy to be with him and she enjoyed her walks. We will certainly use his services again and again and again!! I would highly recommend James! Thank you very much, James. You’re awesome”
“I was very pleased with my dogs stay with Felice. The environment was very warm and inviting. My dogs seemed to have a wonderful time. We plan to return soon.”
“Demetrius was an absolute God send. I had to extend my trip and my usual sitter was unavailable. It’s extremely nerve racking to leave your pup with someone new especially if you’re not there to acclimate them. Demetrius made the transition so smooth and put my mind at ease. He gave multiple updates and sent pictures/videos. My dog had the time of his life w long walks, treats and cuddles. Thank you again Demetrius”
“brinda was SO amazing with our dog!! she sent us multiple updates everyday and made sure our senior dog was always comfortable. i would highly recommend her to all of my friends and would 100% rebook!”
“Karla is an amazing dog sitter! She was so sweet to our little old pup, took great care of him, and sent us beautiful portraits of him regularly. We felt completely confident in her ability and her compassion.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her, and would definitely use her service again. She was very nice and kind. Very warm and set my heart at ease the minute i walked in her door.”
“Theresa took care of my pup Aspen for the first time this week. Prior to her caring for Aspen for 2 overnights we did a meet & greet which provided both of us with all the information we needed to feel comfortable having Aspen stay with her while I worked. Theresa was very communicative and responded quickly to texts as well as sent me pictures of Aspen. I feel like Aspen was well cared for and enjoyed her time with Theresa and I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“We can’t say enough good things about Megan! She took such amazing care of our mini golden doodle, Boston — treating him like he was her very own. From the start, Megan showed incredible communication skills, sending us daily photos and videos that reassured us Boston was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. You could instantly tell he felt safe and loved with her! Megan is friendly, professional, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. She was also incredibly patient and kind when our flight was delayed and we were late getting back — no complaints, just kindness and understanding. If you’re looking for someone who’s dependable, loving, and treats your pet like family, Megan is the one. We’re so grateful to have found her, and we’re sure Boston already misses her! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter — she’s truly a gem!”
“Anthony and his wife were absolutely wonderful! I immediately felt a sense of comfort when meeting them and they were able to accommodate my last minute booking. They took such great care of my almost 2 year old Maltipoo. Their pup, Moonie is also so very sweet and well mannered! I received consistent updates and photos during my trip, Demi had such a great time! Thank you for being so kind, patient and opening your home to her! We will definitely be back!”
“Tiffany took great care of Marvin and was very responsive. She shared photos without having to ask. We would definitely leave Marvin in her care again!”
“Our dog Winston absolutely LOVEs staying with Sarah! This is the second time we hired Sarah to watch our dog and she was fantastic. Great communication and fast responses. Will hire again!!”
“Shuling is amazing! She is very responsive, takes lots of pictures to show that your baby is doing well. My furbaby looked happy and entertained in all the pictures. She was also able to fit me in last minute for a repeat stay and my pup recognized the house and was happy to be there. No reservations to using Shuling again.”
“I'm so happy I found April on here to take care of my old boy. She sent regular updates and took such good care of him. We are looking forward to our next booking!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Wellington
Megan provided wonderful care for my two dogs while I was out of town for a few nights. As someone new to the area, I was understandably nervous about leaving them with a new sitter, especially after not being away from them for quite some time. Before their stay, Megan welcomed us into her home for a meet-and-greet, which helped both my dogs and me feel comfortable and reassured. Throughout their stay, she shared photos, videos, and thoughtful updates on their eating, sleeping, and bathroom routines. I truly appreciated her attentive care and consistent communication, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dogs had a wonderful stay and were well cared for. I highly recommend Megan and look forward to booking with her again!
Jasmine was more than accommodating with my dog Yumi and was extremely flexible. I had a 5 hour delay on my return flight and Jasmine remained professional and attentive to my dog Yumi and accommodated my unfortunate circumstances. If you’re looking for a responsible dog sitter whose also flexible look no further than Jasmine.
Elizabeth was wonderful with our pups Penny and Reggie, and she was great with communicating to us how their days went and how they were settling in, etc. She also sent tons of pictures and you can tell from the pictures that the puppers were having the times of their little lives! We’ll definitely be repeat visitors!!
Liz and Jeffrey were AMAZING! I cannot say enough wonderful things about them and the way they took care of our fur baby! He was treated like a prince: treats, car rides, time for zoomies, play dates with other dogs and sleeping on the sofa. I was worried he would not want to come home with us after the 3.5 days he was with them. We received videos, pictures and updates every single day. I trusted them and felt like I could relax on my vacation and not worry about the dog. They were so kind and hospitable to our family for drop off and pick up as well. They are wonderful humans who take magnificent care of canines!
Brinda and her husband were excellent with Gabby. Gabby is a senior with a heart ❤️ condition and I had no worries at all. Gabby received her medication. She had lots of love. I received so many great pictures of Gabby enjoying herself. I was afraid she may not want to come home!!! I am definitely going to rebook with Brinda
Kathryn was awesome! She took such good care of our dog, Bear. She sent pictures and it reassured us while we were away! Drop off and pick up was convenient and easy. Bear felt right at home quickly because of Kathryn’s ease and attention. I would definitely book Kathryn to watch our dog again!
Wish I could give Amy 10 stars!! She cared for Luna like we were family, including family pics and updates and being so truly sincerely kind and caring. I can’t possibly imagine a more ideal caretaker for your beloved pet. So thankful for Amy - and her own cute pup who was a wonderful playmate to my own pup!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Wellington is $36 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $26 and $54 per night. 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.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Wellington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Wellington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Wellington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellington. On Rover:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Wellington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
