About: I've had pets my entire life. My pets were a Tabby named Mischief (always got in trouble), her son Harddrive (born next to a desktop), and a black cat named Lucky. I have house sat overnight multiple times, including pets that had to have medicine and special diets. My friends always ask me to watch their pets, which I happily do. I have dealt with a 4 cat household, as well a two dog two cat household. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, a highlight of which was walking a young, lovely, and hyper German Shepard named Iris for several weeks while her family vacationed. I used to work at a pet store that specialized in healthy food, where I learned useful information in regards of proper care and diets.
“Caressa is amazing with our stubborn, goofy corgi, Zeke! 😂 She’s patient with his big personality and corgi attitude, and we love knowing he’s in such good hands. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker!”
“Great sitter, she watched them for 3 days while we were on vacation. They were well taken care of and we did a pre meet beforehand and the dogs seemed to love her. Shes very nice and loves dogs.”
“Shane & Brittany did a great job with walking and caring for my dog while I was away on a work trip. My dog requires extra attention (and understanding) which was handled well and made me feel at ease being away from her. I would recommend them to care for anyone’s dog. The daily reports and photos were also appreciated.”
“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!”
“Susan was a BLESSING for me and my dog when we needed a last minute check-in. She was so incredibly thorough and took great care to make sure she fit our routine and connected with Birdy. I recommend Susan to absolutely anyone who’s looking for competent care, a bubbly personality, and patience with an energetic and home-defending fuzz butt!!! We loved her!”
“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.”
“Kathleen was wonderful! Very communicative and easy to work with. Ozzie loved walking with her and we’re grateful for the extra helping hand when traveling for work.”
About: Have taken care of and LOVED any household pet you can think of. I am comfortable with dogs of any size, cats, rabbits, gerbils, lizards etc. Right now I am a mother of two very adorable bunnies, and two very active cats. I have a lot of love to give, and would be delighted to share it with your fur baby. I'm big on communication, so I am happy to send you daily update pictures of your pet while you are away. I have experience working with animals who have medication and/or mobility needs. One of my favorite things when pet-sitting is taking cat-naps or hanging out with your furbaby if they're just feeling lonely and need some additional attention. Happy to love on your pet and make them feel happy and comfortable while you are away. I am typically free after 3pm monday thursday friday. Then after 4pm on tuesday and wednesday. My weekends are fairly flexible. Just send me a message and we can chat schedules! Safety of your pet will be top priority. I understand that every pet is different and will follow owners guidance on what works best for them and their pet. If you have a pet that needs to be crated during the day, I will follow the care as directed. Furthermore, if you have a pet that is free roam during the day I will ensure that the environment is safe for them to roam without harm or injury.
About: Dogs have always been part of our family, and I have over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a family with three friendly dogs, we understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. We provide a clean, structured, and supervised home where dogs receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, potty breaks, and affection throughout the day. We are experienced with puppies, senior dogs, administering oral medications, maintaining feeding schedules, crate-trained dogs, and multi-dog households. Every dog is treated like one of our own. You'll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. Our goal is to create an stress-free, loving environment where every dog feels at home. My family and I have a flexible schedule that allows us to provide consistent care and supervision throughout the day. Because we work from home part of the week, there is almost always someone available to monitor, play with, and care for your dog. We maintain regular feeding schedules, frequent potty breaks, daily exercise, enrichment activities, and plenty of affection. We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times whenever possible and work hard to accommodate each family's needs. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are our top priorities. We have a clean, smoke-free home with a dedicated space designed specifically for boarding dogs, giving them plenty of room to relax, play, and feel comfortable. We have three friendly, well-socialized dogs and always introduce pets carefully to ensure everyone gets along. We closely supervise all interactions and can separate dogs whenever needed for meals, rest, or individual care. We follow each owner's feeding schedule, medication instructions, exercise routine, and any special requests. We welcome crate-trained dogs and can accommodate dogs who need extra attention, senior care, or a quieter environment. You'll also receive daily photo and video updates so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.
About: *MY BOOKING FOR NEW CLIENTS IS FULLY CLOSED AT THIS TIME* Hey! My name is Briana and I grew up with groomers and animal rescuers for parents. I was taught how to birth, wean, potty train, and care for many types of animals. I have worked in my parents grooming shop to help over the years and this included walking and bathing dogs. I have not only work experience and lived experience but also my passion for animals especially being a cat/dog mom myself. I have special experience with senior dogs and puppies, including wound care, medicine needs and dedicated time/attention. I can't wait to meet your furry loved one! I work Mon-Sat 7am-12pm at my fulltime job but am able to house sit and do drop ins around that schedule. I would be leaving around 6/630am and back around 12:30/1pm to handle any care needs. I am unable to host animals inside of my home due to my own cat not being a friendly guy. In my clients home I follow all rules set in place as well as keeping your furry loved one comfortable in their existing routines or whatever the client's expectations would be. I prefer taking written directions just so I have something I can always check back to ensure the most efficient care.
About: Hi! My name is Jazmin. I've had dogs my whole life, I absolutely love all animals. Ive been working with animals (professionally) for about 9 years now. Before COVID, I was an assistant general manager for a restaurant. When the pandemic hit and the world shut down, I decided to open up my own pet sitting business. Its been such a blessing because now I can focus all my energy and time into what I love! Which is caring for all animals! I am experienced and comfortable in administering medications to dogs and cats. My beagle, Buster was epileptic and had thyroid issues that he was on medication for. He was very picky and had to get medication twice a day. I've also watched cats that needed insulin injections, as well as other clients that needed timley medications to control seizures. I am a full time pet sitter and stay at home mom. This means your baby gets unlimited playtime, as well as one on one cuddles! This also allows me to be very flexible to accommodate any pet sitting requests! Drop off times start as early as 6:00 AM, and pickup can be as late as 9:00 PM. I leave out for brief periods of time, to take my son to school or husband to work and to pick them up! During these times pups will either be crated or put into a playpen to keep themselves from getting into trouble! I have two dogs of my own that love to play with your pups and help keep them company! I have a fully fenced (6ft high) yard to keep your baby safe and contained while they play. I have a bunch of toys - from ropes,to balls and bones, that get sanitized between stays. On rainy days pups will get their stimulation by doing treat puzzles. Dogs are welcome on all furniture! I have gates blocking them from the bedrooms and bathrooms but other then that they have free roam of the house! There are crates always open and set up with blankets and beds, if any pup is feeling overwhelmed or needs a break, they can retreat to a nice comfy spot.
About: Professional and educational care for various pets, including puppy training and senior animal support, is provided based on extensive experience with multiple age ranges and animal types like dogs, cats, reptiles, pocket pets, and some fish and birds. In addition to my many year's experience, I previously worked as a Lead Veterinarian Technician for an animal hospital for three years. Regarding my education, I earned a degree in biology with a concentration in animal and plant sciences. I am currently working part time, so ideal weekly work hours can range from 15-28 hours per week. I am flexible from 8:30am-9:00pm daily with the exception of Monday's, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 6pm-8pm due to a college course. Course starts June 23-Aug 17th. A new person coming to take care of your fur baby can be stressful for them, so I will ensure that I pay attention to their body language and let them come to greet me on their terms. On walks, I will keep my head on a swivel for any close by activity and maintain the fur baby on a closer leash for more control during stressful situations and/or head back home if needed. In the pet parent's home, I will check and correct for potential heath risks near the pet (like loose wires). In addition to walks, I would love to play with fur babies so they bond with me in addition to maintaining any routines per pet parent instructions.
About: I have 4 years of experience taking care of both dogs and cats, and a lifetime of love for them. I am an attentive and relatable pet parent who will send you lots of pictures and photos while I'm with your fur babies. I have a strong attention to details so I will notice every little details. I will give them lots of love to make sure they are not lonely while you're gone. I am available everyday including weekends, just give me a 2 day notice so I don't schedule anything else that can stand in your way:) I will make sure all of your best friend's needs are met. I am welcome to special requests and love pets with all kinds of personalities.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a proud cat parent to my own cat, I know how much peace of mind matters when you have to leave your furry family members behind. While I'm new to the Rover platform, pet care is second nature to me—back in college, I regularly helped my classmates with pet sitting, looking after both dogs and cats. Whether your dog needs an energetic walk or your cat needs some gentle loving attention, I treat every pet with the exact same care and devotion I give my own. Because I work remotely and part-time from home, my schedule is wonderfully flexible. I am basically free and can easily find time for your pet any day or any time. Whether it's a mid-day walk or constant companionship, we can easily figure out a routine that works best for you and your pet! Safety and trust are my absolute top priorities. Whether I am dropping in for pet sitting or taking your dog out for an engaging walk, I treat every pet with the utmost care and respect. As an experienced cat owner myself, I understand how crucial it is to respect an animal's boundaries, safety needs, and home environment. You can count on me for clear communication, reliable updates, and treating your home and pets like my own.
“Abigail was very responsive and very communicative when taking care of Jett. She asked plenty of great questions to make sure Jett was getting the best care possible. She also Toone great photos to show he was having a great time. Jett was a bit stubborn getting back inside (probably because he was having so much fun with Abigail), but when we got home he was in a fabulous mood. Will definitely ask her to watch our little guy in the future.”

Cheyenne is kind, flexible, and quick to respond. My dog can be a little shy at first, and Cheyenne was more than happy to do a meet and greet beforehand to get to know her and understand her needs before their walk. I really appreciated her willingness to make sure my dog felt comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

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 Wellington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Wellington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
