“We loved getting pictures every day of our pup with his “boarding family”. He looked right at home with them and we were happy he was being well taken care of while we were away.”
“Stevie was very kind, had a wonderful place for the dogs to stay, & was very accommodating on drop off & pick up times. I would definitely recommend her.”
“My baby had an awesome time! Jacqueline‘s family with her Children is amazing on how they nurture the dogs! I love that they have a fenced in yard and they do not kennel which gave my baby a free spirit for two days that I was gone! Jacqueline was so amazing and keeping me updated with pictures and notes about my baby boy brownie Jacqueline will be my first choice if I need a sitter for brownie in the future!”
“Our little pup loved her stay here! MacKenzie sent lots of pictures and we loved seeing our pup play with all the other dogs. We will definitely book again with her.”
“Meilan and her family did great with our dog Bodie. Usually when he goes places he seems really stressed out and exhausted when he gets home. This time he came home his normal self. I feel they did an amazing job with taking care of him.”
“Nicole was wonderful! She provided excellent communication throughout our trip and sent photos, which gave me great peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our dog was well cared for, and having fun. In fact, when he came home, he cried because he missed his new friends and the environment he had grown so attached to. We couldn’t ask for a better indication of how happy and comfortable he was in her care. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time to leave our small dog and we couldn’t be more happy. Paula goes above and beyond to give love and attention and sent us several messages, photos and videos to ease our concerns about Milly possibly not adapting. When we picked her up she was happy as could be. We highly recommend Paula!”
“I can't thank Gail and Dog Vacay enough!! Right from the meet and greet I knew I had picked the best. Our 12 year old Aussie/Collie mix Sydney felt so at home immediately. Gail's comfortable home let Sydney keep up with her daily pastimes: sleeping on the sofa and looking out the window! :) Sydney takes daily meds which were administered with no problem. Gail sent updates and even pictures to us that made my vacation more relaxed too. Gail's other little border gave Sydney a fun friend. I'm not sure Sydney wanted us to come home! Gail is a teriffic lady and was a great surrogate mom for Sydney. Thanks again- Christine B.”
“Hank and I couldn’t be happier with Victoria and Bob! They treated Hank with so much love, care, and attention, and I honestly couldn’t have chosen a better place for him to stay. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. Their dog, Charlotte, and their cat are also the sweetest and so friendly! ❤️ Thank you both for welcoming Hank into your home and loving him as if he were your own. We truly appreciate you guys and couldn’t recommend your services enough. We’ll definitely be seeing you again soon! 🐾”
“Lona & Alan took phenomenal care of our precious goldendoodle! They loved her like she was their own and really made sure they were respectful of our wishes for our dog’s care. I loved getting pictures and videos of our pup throughout her stay and she was clearly happy and well loved! My only concern with them watching our dog is if my dog would want to come with me after such an amazing time 😂 (which she did thankfully 😁). They were amazing to our dog and very trustworthy! Amazing experience ❤️”
“Noreen & family work very hard to make my dog comfortable when he stays there. Though he is always nervous when I leave him the pictures she sends assure me that he settles down and is comfortable. Always gets walks even though they also have fenced yard.”
“Ashley was so great with the dogs! She had my two for 9 days!! Which most people would shy away from two big dogs for that long but not her! She sent me photos and videos every day to let me know what was happening with them while we were gone. She was very loving and informative with the dogs and the day to day things going on with them. She supplied most of the supplies at her house to make things more convenient. She even gave them goodies to go home with! We will definitely be looking to use her again on our next trip!”
“Courtenay was great with our dog Rosie. Communicated everyday with a quick picture and short text update. For us it was comforting knowing she got more personal attention then she would have at a commercial boarding facility. Very happy with the service we received and will plan to use her again if she is available.”
“We are so happy with our first experience with Rover.com. Jill was so accommodating and was able to work with our schedule when we went on vacation for 10 days. She provided daily updates and pictures on how Fenway was doing. I was much less stressed about our long vacation knowing Fenway was able to have another dog to be with and someone who would take care of her. We are so happy with our experience with Jill and will definitely be recommending her to friends for their pups!”
“Second time Grant looked after my dog Rocket for two nights at Grant's place. Grant always provided timely updates and I was at ease that my dog was being well looked after and taken care of. My dog Rocket is quite anxious and can be a lot to handle at times and Grant is always my first call when I need a sitter! Thanks Grant, you are the best!!!”
“Cheyanne watched both of my pups! Which was such a blessing for me as I have an older senior dog and a younger gentle giant. They came back both tired and well loved! So happy to have found someone to give them lots of love while I was on my trip.”
“Mya kept us updated daily and sent us pics to show how well our dogs were doing. I appreciate the updates. It gives me peace of mind knowing that our dogs were taken care of. They enjoyed their stay, especially getting run around in the backyard. Mya was attentive and we would book with her again.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 505 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Wellington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 MO 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.
