“Ian was a great cat sitter for us. He went the extra mile in making sure our cats were taken care of and was patient and flexible while we figured out a routine for our new house. Looking forward to hiring him again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 4 years now I have 1 dogs of my own who is my pride and joy. I have crated trained them as well as potty trained. I also walk dogs if weather permits about 2 times a day once in the morning and another in the evening. I have experience with fostering dogs as well which me and my family have been doing for about 2 years now. Currently working part time. I would take care of dogs in the morning around 9-10am then come back in the evening after my job around 3 or 4pm. If I do not have work during the day I will go in the afternoon and check up on them around 1-2pm I will make sure to check up on dogs if in your house I will check in multiple times a day, walk them twice and make sure to feed and check to see if they have enough water. If dog sitting in my abode then they will have constant supervision as there is always someone in the house I have a fenced in backyard as well they will also be fed per your instructions and walked twice a day.
“Sarah took fantastic care of Rue will I was out of town! She was super thorough and made sure she knew everything about Rue’s needs. I would definitely ask Sarah to watch Rue again!”
“Elyse was wonderful! Conscientious, thoughtful, and very loving to my senior dog. She sent lots of pictures and carefully followed all instructions. I am grateful I can rely on her to care for Frankie.”
“Rachel accepted our last minute request for pet sitting even though I’m a brand new customer, and was excellent at communicating with us to make sure she had all the info she needed to drop in on our fur baby. She fed and took our pup for a walk, and gave her some much needed attention while we were gone overnight. We loved Rachel’s detailed report, and will definitely ask her to pet sit for us again!”
“Jeana did an excellent job watching Maggie. It was my first time using Rover and I was a nervous dog mother. Jeana was excellent at communicating with me and quelled any anxieties I had. Maggie was so happy to make a new friend!”
About: I’ve had and loved pets my entire life! (I was convinced I was going to be a vet until I realized I would very likely sob every time a pet got sick.) From my black lab, Raven, to my cats Lily and Langston, to now, my long-haired chihuahua, Midge, animals are just a part of the day-to-day! Since age 12, I’ve been petsitting for friends, family, and neighbors (including overnight stays) and cared for dogs who are super energetic, playful, and independent to dogs who experience some anxiety and might need a bit more attention❤️! I also have experience caring for a bit older doggos. My black lab, Raven, lived to 16 and as her mobility and needs changed, I changed with her and it really taught me to be very attentive, gentle, and adaptive to a pets needs. I’m comfortable and experienced with walking, feeding, brushing, playtime, litter boxes, and loving and attention when pets want or need it❤️! So whether your pet is super energetic and playful or just wants a calm, reassuring companion, I’m happy to match their vibe and energy and make them feel loved and at home☺️🐾! I’m a rising junior at Virginia Tech and home for the summer, working part-time as a server in the Fort Hunt/Hybla Valley area. I have a super flexible schedule and lots of free time to spend with your pets, so I’m available for walks, drop-ins, overnight stays, or whatever else your pet might need😊! Mainly, I care for pets in the comfort of their own home with walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays! I make sure to stick to their routine, make sure they get plenty of playtime, attention, and exercise (or just hang out if that’s more their style!) I don’t usually host pets in my home, but I’m super flexible and want to make sure your pet feels happy and loved, and I’ll always make sure to send updates and pics📸🫶!
“Honestly the 2 nicest people you could ever ask to watch your cats. They were great with giving my cats their meds. I came home knowing they had everything taken care of at my house. They even picked up my mail.”
“I just got stuck in the whole dallas air traffic radar fiasco and Lori was great about taking on my cats last minute and late Friday night. Really appreciate how reliable she is and what great care she takes of my cats! She gives great updates and takes great pictures, even of my shyest cat.”
“Cassie is the best! She takes care of our pets as if they are her own. We always feel at ease when we have to leave them at home because we know Cassie is giving them all the love and care they need.”
“Jessica gives excellent service. She is committed, respectful, flexible with her schedule if possible, and tends to one’s needs. Most importantly, she loves pets and that really made me feel good while I was gone. I’ll definitely book her again if she’s available. I recommend her to anyone in this area looking for some help with their pets :)”
“We really enjoyed our meet and greet with Matt. He was great with both my dogs and his background and understanding of dog behavior and dog training is very reassuring with my very anxious puppers!”
About: Hi, I’m Angel! With experience working and volunteering at animal shelters and Dog Daycares, I’m a responsible and attentive caregiver who will treat your pets like my own. Your pets happiness and well-being are my top priorities! Updates and photos are included in every service for your peace of mind. When you leave your pet with me, you can rest assured they’re in loving, capable hands. As a substitute teacher (who is now out for the summer!) I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be available for pet care on weekdays and weekends, 24/7. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I can adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs. My priority is ensuring they receive the attention, care, and companionship they deserve, no matter the time of day! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to exercise needs, and ensure they feel safe and loved while their owner is away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or (consensual!) cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and preferences. I also keep the home clean, respect the space, and provide regular updates (including pictures) so owners can feel at ease knowing their pet is safe and sound.
“Andie always does a great job! She keeps our dog happy and well cared for. He is always upset with us when we come home because we don’t spoil him as well as she does 🥰.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for about eight years, starting with pet sitting and dog walking while I was in high school. I have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities through drop in visits and overnight house sitting. I’m also a lifelong dog owner and currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I potty trained my pug from puppyhood and have experience with younger, more energetic dogs as well as older dogs who need extra patience and care. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I'm able to accommodate drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays, and I always make sure the pets in my care receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship. I'll communicate with you throughout your time away so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client's home, my goal is to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and any other routines that help your pet feel comfortable. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I'll adjust my care accordingly, whether your pet loves lots of exercise and attention or prefers a quieter environment. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I'd want someone to show mine, keeping everything clean and secure while you're away. I'll send regular photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing and can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.
“Grace took such great care of my cats, and they warmed up to her very quickly! My cats are notoriously messy, and she left things cleaner than when I left. I would definitely recommend and would trust her to catsit for me again.”
“Carly has been so wonderful and reliable for our dog, Phoebe! She has provided weekly drop ins for a couple of months and one long overnight stay so far, which she extended a night on short notice for us. She provides us with consistent updates and communication and Phoebe is always a happy girl after each of her visits. We highly recommend Carly, she’s been one of our best Petsitters to date.”
“Lenny checked in with our two cats once a day for 2 weeks and we are so thankful for her. The girls seemed relaxed, well taken care of and happy when we got home. One day seemed a little tough on them and Lenny stayed way past her time to show them the love they needed. She kept us updated on everything and send lots of pictures which was much appreciated. Thank you so much!”
About: Hi! I'm Ryan, a recent grad from West Potomac heading to the University of Virginia next year! I've been taking care of animals as long as I can remember, and I've had a strict schedule for my current dog (5pm feeding & 6pm walk) since we've had him (6yrs) ! I love all animals and I'm excited to take care of any animals that need it. Every day, as long as I can remember, I've had to feed and walk my dog at strict times in the afternoon as to keep a schedule for him. This makes it much less confusing and has him calm. I'll miss him at college, but I'm glad I can keep him on track while I'm here. Since I was young, my parents have always taught me to be on my best behavior in others homes. From taking shoes off at the door to refilling a dog bowl if I see it empty, I'll make sure that your home is even better than you left it.
“We have a nine year old dog with anxiety. It takes several visits so she will remember someone one and warm up to them. Zoe has been amazing. She is always on time. She is patient and gentle. She was able to build trust with our dog so that I can now leave for a long afternoon and not worry.”
The median cost per visit for cat sitting in Wellington is $22
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wellington
Annie was amazing and we're so happy she was our first experience with Rover! She followed instructions to a T and more, messaging us when our directions lacked sufficient detail. She made sure our cat got the full treatment, including playtime and continuing our training. We were worried our cat would like her more than his newly-adopted family ;) We'd definitely use her again.
Melissa took such great care of my cats during her drop in visits while I was on vacation! She sent lots of pictures and videos and even spent more time with them than required. You can tell she really loves what she does. I highly recommend her and will return to her in the future!
Andie was a terrific cat sitter for my kitties. She communicated well throughout and followed my instructions. Although not all my kitties are happy to interact with people they don’t know, Andie did her best to be report on each one. It was very reassuring to have her taking care of them!!
Bella was fantastic! We contacted her last minute because we needed help with giving medication to one of our kitties. She was able to come same day. We did a video call and I walked her through everything. We definitely will be using her again and if we loved the photos she sent of the kitties. It was clear that she loves animals.
I had yet another flight failure and didn't make it home. The airlines string us along until last minute, so when I reached out to Lori at almost 9 pm, I was so grateful she was willing to as another visit to my cats. And as I was languishing in rebooting purgatory with everything's else at La Guardia, I was cheered up with the pictures of my cats which were sent within the hour. (She takes great pictures). I highly recommend Lori--its just great peace of mind when she is watching my cats.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wellington on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
