About: I have lifelong experience with animals. I grew up on a farm caring for cows and chickens, and I have pets of my own, so responsibility and consistency are second nature to me. I’m patient and attentive with pets of all ages, from playful puppies to seniors who may need extra care. I’m also comfortable administering medications and carefully following detailed care instructions. I pay close attention to routines and behavior, and I treat every pet like family while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I currently work full-time, but I have flexibility in my schedule on Mondays thru Fridays. I am very flexible and available most Saturdays and Sundays. I do my best to accommodate pet parents’ needs and am happy to discuss scheduling options to find a time that works for everyone. I treat every pet like my own, follow routines carefully, respect your home, and prioritize safety so you can feel confident while you're away. Thanks.
“OMG!! Lanese was a last minute lifesaver before my trip! She was very thoughtful and accommodating towards the task of daily walks for Max. Lanese was always on time and made sure she thoroughly fulfilled the walk. Her daily communication while I was away gave me assurance. She is a 10/10 and I definitely recommend her for any one in need of her services! Will definitely call on again in the future! Thanks so much!!!”
About: I’ve grown up around both small and large dogs, giving me experience with a wide variety of breeds and personalities. I’ve also cared for and dog sat more dogs than I can count. Me and my partner love dogs and we wish we could have our own - but out jobs are both in person Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday making it impossible to be there for a dog during the week. However, we would love to care for an animal over a weekend! Or even just dog sit! I currently work from home only on Mondays and Fridays. I am in person Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. I would be happy to help in baby sitting for long weekends and walks on the weekends! We currently live in a townhome with both a small front and back yard. While neither yard is fenced, your dog’s safety is my top priority. I always keep dogs on a leash when outside and never let them off leash unless they are in a fully fenced, secure area.
“Elizabeth is dependable and communicative, which is extremely important to me. She came when she said she would, left cards on Rover with details of Nya's walk, and was a pleasure to deal with. We will be booking with her again!”
“Ryan was reliable and showed up on time and made an extra effort to get to know my dog and make my dog feel comfortable. I really appreciate Ryan walking Eli and will be booking him in the future!”
About: I’m particularly fond of taking care of the most finicky and quirky pets with care, firmness and patience. Skilled at administering meds, going for long walks and spoiling with treats. I work per diem, so I have a lot of time to spare with your pet! Available for boarding on the weekends anytime after 2pm. I have a cat tower at home that’s strategically placed in front of a birdfeeder attached to the window. It makes for an excellent front row seat for hours of birdwatching.
“Fennel is an outstanding sitter! They always keep me informed about the status of my pet and provide feedback and photos even when it is just for a short walk. They were also extremely helpful and reliable when I booked them for an all day stay. Highly recommend!”
“Stephanie was awesome. I needed someone to come walk my puppy, my regular dog walker couldn’t do it and Stephanie was happy to help. She took Willow for a 1/2 hr walk made sure she had water. She sent plenty of pictures was very easy to communicate with just an overall sweet person! I really liked her and will use her in the future! Highly recommend Stephanie!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was young, I love dogs. I enjoy meeting their different personality traits and getting to know them. Dogs make my heart melt. I will take care of your dogs as though they are my own because i know the fear that comes associated since I’ve kept my dog with others myself. I have a pitbull and a chihuahua as well as 2 cats so I love any size, any attitude. They’re all perfect lovable creatures & I really enjoy taking dogs for walks and playing with them or even just laying with them and cuddling. My dogs are my best friends and I would like to make your dogs the same way. They need lots of love attention and affection and I’m willing to provide that when you aren’t able to! I’m currently in school for social work so I have a lot of extra time on my hands, I love filling it with our furry friends. I understand all methods of caretaking when it comes to our pets. If your dog is a jumper, I’ll always watch and make sure they don’t jump over any fences. I am somewhat of a hover parent myself & I keep such an eye on my pets, they’ve never had an accident resulting in a vet visit. I also understand sensitive stomachs & our babies that are dying to eat everything, itching for a vet appt but not on my watch. I multitask well so your pet will never go unnoticed.
“Emma has been on time with my big guys (Rocko, Atticus, and Axel). We sat down for a “meet and greet” ahead of starting the walks to make sure it was a good fit, and so far it has been great. She will be watching them while I go away; I’m sure they’ll be looking forward to her visit.”
About: I have owned dogs my whole life, and know how to take care of them. I also have experience with cats, I have helped my grandfather with a stray cat that chose him! I'm openly available, as of today. I like to volunteer, but that usually only takes about 4 or 5 hours. I will give your pet the time it needs. You make sure that they have plenty of fresh water, eat on time, and walk them every day when the sun is not too hot, eg in the morning or evening.
“Alexandra was amazing to work with! Had a last minute trip and she was prompt and very easy to work with! Pups loved her and we will definitely be using her services indefinitely??”
“Dionne was very prompt and professional. My pet loved her walk with Dionne, who sent plenty of photos and left a great summary of the walk. I’d be happy to book a walk with Dionne in the future!”
About: I have always had such a high passion and love for animals. Special skills I have regarding my experiences with animals are walking dogs for my neighbors where I used to live at and also watching my aunts cat when she was away on business. I’m always open to learning new skills as well. Right now I am not working so I can completely make time to do rover! Schedule is 100 percent flexible. I will make time for my clients. In my home pets have free rein in the house and are watched constantly. In the clients home wherever they ask me to watch them is where I will sit with them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Wellington on Rover is $19.98 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 11,724 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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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.
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.
