“Dylan arrived promptly and Luke absolutely adored him!! He was kind and gentle with my 7lb bundle of energy. I appreciated his graciousness with both Luke’s and my separation anxiety. I wish they lived near me for I’d contact them weekly! Margaret and Luke 🐶”
“10 out of 10! I was out of state to visit family, and C.P. was so great about sending daily photos/ updates of when he was dropping by. Will definitely be booking him again!”
About: We have had dogs for over 50 years, all sizes, many breeds. We know your dog may need a different level of attention than others, we will make it feel at home by treating it just like you tells us to. We won’t just throw it out back with some food and water, it will get personal treatment just like our Piper does. She doesn’t work and only leaves home for a few hours to go to the store or doctor. Your dog will have supervision most of the time. Bring its favorite toy or bed, it can play fetch, ball, tug of war with Piper. The fenced yard has access via a doggy door or a human door. Piper sleeps in a crate in her own bedroom but your dog can sleep the same way it does at home, just tell us what it prefers. Bring its food and water Bowls. We will consider dogs from 40-100 lbs in case by case review. We DO NOT accept Pit Bull dogs. We request a meet and great visit prior to scheduled stay to make sure your dog is a good fit in our home.
About: I offer in house boarding So your pet doesn’t have to sleep on a hard floor and be in a kennel. Your pet will be treated as though they are one of my own. If they sleep with you they sleep with me! They are my first priority! Come on out and do a meet and greet! Pet boarding is my biggest priority. Your pet will have all the attention, fun time and proper care they need during their visit no matter how long their visit is. I care for the pets I sit as though their own owner is caring for them. If they have food and water in front of them, 24/7 that will be something that they will have at my facility if they don’t and they have a different regiment that is something they will have in my facility if they have toys, beds, medication at their home that is what i will provide for them as well. If they are, or aren’t allowed on the furniture that is what i will do If they sleep in your bed with you at night they will sleep with me at night. If they go on multiple daily walks, that is what i will do. Your pet will be cared for just the way you care for them.
About: My 3 years experience house sitting for multiple types of animals and birds, along with 5 years of dog grooming experience, put me in a position to help you with your animals while you are away. Additionally, 2 years supporting a traveling nail clipping business (different types of animals) gives me the experience of helping with stressed pets. Currently I work part-time with animals and attend school locally, so I can spend time with your pets during the weekday. My availability is limited on the weekends. Animals in my care will not leave the house without a leash/leadline (smaller animals in carriers). Please contact me with your pets security concerns and we can work through them to find what works best for you and your fur babies.
“Casey was great visiting my two cats. I appreciated that he took the time to draw out my shy cat. He was also a pleasure to communicate with and was very reliable and attentive to details. I will definitely call on him again.”
About: I make sure they’re taken care of properly just like the owner wants. I’m all around an animal lover. I enjoy the walks, playing, and bonding. Availability is whenever. I love teaching dogs tricks! I like setting goals for myself and animals. I like making them feel loved. Giving them the attention and care that they need. I will do anything for anyone. I love helping others. If your animal needs special care then that’s what they will get. I will give them the best care that you ask for. I have a year old puppy that loves attention. He would love a playmate as well. We have had him since he was a month old and he’s been potty trained since about 2 weeks after we had picked him up.
About: As a former pet owner I understand how important it is to make sure your pets are safe and comfortable. I have over 10 years of experience with all breeds and types of dogs and cats. I grew up fostering dogs out of our childhood home. I was very involved even at the age of 6. We stopped fostering when I was around the age of 19. As of right now, Rover is my full time job. I absolutely love doing it and being around such wonderful people and pets. I do not offer boarding for pets right now as I do live with my father, step mother, and younger brother (seen in profile picture) but do plan on adding boarding services soon. While I do not offer boarding at this moment, I do enjoying staying at others homes, understanding their pets will have more comfort being in their own home. A guarantee I offer if I do stay in your home is you will come back to it cleaner than when you left it. Coming home to happy pets and a clean home is one of the best feelings, coming from personal experience. I love playing with the energetic pets or cuddling with the more relaxed ones. I hope to get to be part of you and your pets life’s and creating a strong bond and trustworthy relationship that you will come back to happy healthy fur-babies☺️ As of right now I use Rover full time. My calendar will stay up to date, but I will keep clients updated if any minor changes come up! I am more than comfortable sending texts or pictures for updates of your fur-baby. I will adjust to your dogs schedule. I love walking and playing with energetic dogs, or cuddling with the sleepy ones!
“Just wanted to say nothing but the best !!! Was a little nervous leaving my babies with someone i didn't know but Kerry made it easy not to worry went on a 3 day trip and my boys are a little shy and scared of people they dont know but by their second visit you couldn't tell the boys loved them. Would 100% have Kerry watch in on my boys on our next trip and future trips we take. Kerry you and your partner are the best ! Thank you for being so good to our boys !!!”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I have cared for dogs of all sizes as well as cats. It’s not a job it’s a passion. I am full time active duty in the military so my schedule varies I work essentially a firefighter type schedule so schedule will be custom with each client. On my days off I will be available all day. I am able to travel for my clients. I am patient and enjoy pets. My care will be honest and done with integrity and be authentic.
About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life! I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and a chinchilla that I’ve taken care of. I currently have two German Shepherds and two cats! I will provide patient, personalized care and treat every pet like my own. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I will focus on making them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I am entering summer break and only have track practices, so I have a lot of available time to make visits! You can also reach out any time, even same-day messages! I have a large front and back yard, and the back is also fenced in for extra safety. My dogs at home are also friendly to have a pet friend! If needed, there are also plenty of rooms in my house to separate animals too.
About: I have taken care many dogs in my family. As well as senior dogs that needed medication when it came to feeding time. I have taught my dogs to do little tricks. Pet care can fit into my daily and weekly routine very easily and I have a car so I can be to the home on time. I follow what the owner wants for the pets. I will always make it a point to have the pet go to the bathroom before I leave, and play with toys or outside before I fully leave each time.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! My family has always had multiple pets in our home at a time. I currently own a dog named Jax, and two cats named Milo and Lee! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperament. I have taken care of puppies, blind/deaf dogs, big dogs who like to take you on a walk instead 😅, cuddly and energetic labs, shy dogs who may hide, and I love them all the same! I am a nanny, so I also take my part in loving and taking care of their animals in their home or when they may travel! As a pet mom myself, I understand how big of a decision it is to search and trust for someone to look after your fur baby. That’s why I will always focus on communication and providing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease and comfortable. All animals are family, and I will treat your pet as if they were my own. When I come to your home, I promise to come with all the extra snuggles, belly rubs, or anything your pet may need to feel comfortable, keeping up with routines, required needs, and all different personalities. If your pet may need special medications, I also have experience with that area! I’m currently a college student, home full time for the summer! I go to a community college, so long term care is also available! Some hours may just change once I start again this Fall semester :) I care for each pet as if they were my own. My animals are my babies, my world, and I expect it is the same for all pet owners. You putting your trust in me to care for your babies means the world to me, and you won’t regret it! :)
About: I have house and dog sat for 6 years. I have also handled cats. I have handled anywhere from puppies to senior dogs and love to take them on walks! I work full time during the school year as a pediatric COTA but part time over the summer. My schedule varies but I am available for the most part! I just moved into my own home but I grew up with cats and have had a dog for 10 years. Feeding them and making sure running water was available was my number one priority!
About: I’ve always been the go to, dependable person for my family and friends when they need a dog or cat sitter. I’ve watched many different sizes and breeds of dogs. I’ll care for them as if they’re my own! I work from home so I’m able to be available anytime to let your dogs out, go for walks, feed them, etc. I can be very flexible on short notice as well! I respect others property and treat the fur babies as my own. I am punctual, dependable and detail oriented. I’m big on communication and will gladly share updates and pictures anytime I watch your pet.
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. My life has been enriched by caring for kittens, puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve given pills and eye drops to both cats and dogs. I love playing with cats and dogs and seeing them happy! It would be an honor to care for your pet. I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips. This includes giving them water and food, cleaning them and their crate up (if they got carsick ☹️), sitting with them on breaks while they roamed the back of my SUV, and snuggles. I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent). I can feed, water, do short walks, and give medicine or eye drops (to compliant pets). I have 2 cats and am happy to provide care to cat friendly dogs at my home or I can come to yours. I’m available M-F 8-4 and for overnight stays.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 1,211 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wellington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Wellington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellington. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% 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 pet, 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.
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.
