“Lori was really great with my cats. I have a really shy cat that hides under s blanket around me people, and Lori got a picture of her tail high and confident in the kitchen--first time meeting! Lori was also really great to work with when my travel plans were shortened and I had to almost immediately come home and cancel the balance of the visit. Lori's easy-goingness made what was a little chaotic of a trip less stressful. She definitely is someone I would hire again.”
“Andrea was excellent with caring for Carmela while we were on vacation! Carmela definitely loves having Andrea around and she is great with communication! I highly recommend having Andrea care for your pet!”
“Robin & Ahmed were amazing with our cat Mickey. Communication flowed really well and having someone there for him last minute was a huge sigh of relief for us. Strongly recommend them.”
“Our cat Ella loved Elyse right away which doesn't always happen with new people. Elyse was very communicative , flexible, and so great to work with. She provided great updates while we were away which was really appreciated. Wouldn't hesitate to book Elyse again!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including caring for my own cat and helping care for a friend’s senior age Chihuahua. I have also volunteered at a animal shelter in Blacksburg, VA. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I understand that some pets need lots of attention while others need a little more space. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule gives me flexibility to provide consistent pet care throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on the timing and needs of each pet. I’m happy to work with owners on a schedule that keeps their pets comfortable and maintains their normal routine while they’re away I take pet safety seriously and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, routines, and any house rules. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort and won’t force interaction if they need space. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away
About: I regularly watch my brothers dog and take him on walks. I also have watched multiple friends dogs throughout the years including walks, feedings, boarding. My schedule is open during typical work hours, so I’m available to do feedings and walks throughout the day. I don’t have my own pets but watch friends pets often. I have both boarded pets and stayed at clients homes. I follow typical instructions and routines as provided by the owners and send regular updates. Usually become best buddies by the end!
“Julia was able to watch my dog Whiskey at the last minute. He can be anxious around new people and in a new situation, but Julia was able to take care of everything and he had a great time.”
About: I have an American Bulldog and two cats! I love animals and I am an active duty USAF medic! I grew up around dogs and other animals my entire life, I am trained in K9 first aid/CPR as well as trauma care for military working dogs. I have Monday off and can swing by for visits throughout the day. This can include walks, potty breaks, or just playtime with your pet! I have a fenced in yard where my doggy runs around and is able to spend time outside whenever it isn’t too hot out!
“Byul and her husband did another fantastic job watching my kitties! We were out for 2 weeks so I was quite nervous being gone for so long, but Byul was very communicative and put many of my worries at ease. All instructions were followed and they made sure all their areas were cleaned when a few accidents came up. I came home to 2 happy kitties!”
“Sara was awesome! She was able to accept a short notice sitting and connected with Silver (my cat) immediately. We appreciated her communication and photos each time and even let us know when she was running late or needed to shift a visit time. I'm sure Silver would absolutely love to have you watch him again!”
About: I have over two years of experience at a pet resort as a pet care associate where my job is to provide daily care for the dogs and cats in our care. I’m also currently working at an animal shelter where I continue to provide daily care to the animals in our facility and ensure all animals are being loved, cared for and are comfortable. I work full time sundays to wednesday 7am to 5:30 pm and every now and then once a week 9am to 7:30 pm. I’m free thursdays to saturdays all day and if needed I can do anything after work as long as it’s after my work hours. My cat is strictly indoors. He gets taken outside on a harness to be safe. He is feed twice a day morning and night but sometimes if hes feeling extra hungry he’ll get lunch which I give him wet and dry food. Litter box is cleaned daily twice a day and he has access to all rooms in the house.
“Reagan was an excellent and caring sitter who paid great attention to Dutchess and made sure she was comfortable with a stranger in the house. Will absolutely look to book her again!”
About: I have administered medication both orally and nasally to both cats and dogs in my time as a pet owner taking care of middle-aged and older furry family members. I work full-time with stable income, in hybrid status. I am in-office Monday through Thursday currently from 7:30am to 3:30pm. I work remotely on Fridays. I like to spend my time with animals as I grew up in New York City and South Florida with 3 dogs and 1 cat.
“Laia was a wonderful cat sitter! She took great care of our shy kitty who warmed up to her right away. She was even able to pick her up and brush her which other cat sitters haven’t been able to do. Great communication too. We will definitely book again!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve worked in professional pet care, taken courses in animal first aid/CPR and positive-reinforcement/Karen Pryor clicker training, worked alongside livestock veterinarians, and even had experience around Security/IED K9s. I especially enjoy learning how each dog communicates. Some dogs want to cover some ground, some want to stop and sniff everything, and some need a little patience and encouragement before they’re comfortable. I adjust the walk to the dog in front of me. My love for dogs started young. When I was 8, my neighbor passed away and left me Sawbuck, his Shepherd/Lab mix. He showed me how strong the bond between a person and a dog can be, and I’ve been learning everything I can about them ever since. I love getting dogs out of the house and moving. Whether your dog needs a good exercise walk, a slower sniff-filled adventure, or simply a dependable midday potty break, I’ll tailor our time together to what works best for them. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages and personalities, including high-energy dogs, seniors and dogs that need a little extra patience. My goal is to provide a positive, safe and enjoyable experience for both you and your pet. I’m a Marine, so following detailed instructions comes naturally to me. Give me as much information about your dog as you’d like — I genuinely enjoy learning their routines, personalities and quirks. After every service, I’ll provide an update on how things went along with photos and anything I noticed during our time together. My goal is to provide a positive, loving and safe experience for your pet and you. I’m a Marine so following orders/directions exactly as you give them is in my blood. I love information so feel free to write/leave as much as makes you comfortable. I will send after service reports where I provide feedback/requested information and brief of the care service.
About: My experience working full time in the field of animal care provides me with a great deal of animal related skills. Having cared for and maintained many cats, dogs, I am very comfortable with animals and their care. I am also an expert at scratches! I am available all week to care for your pets. I currently have a flexible schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day and week. As an animal lover and pet owner, I will have ample love and attention to provide your pets! I love having fun with animals and I will make sure your pets are both healthy and happy!
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and caring for them is something I truly love. I currently have a cat at home in Old Town and have also helped care for family pets over the years, so I’m very comfortable with a variety of personalities and needs. I’m happy to help with walking, feeding, playtime, and making sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away. I also have extensive experience caring for senior pets. My dog Max recently passed at 18 years old and required around the clock care, including medications, special feeding routines, and mobility support. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to handle more complex care with compassion. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone else, because I feel the same way. I treat every animal as if they were my own and make communication a priority. You can expect thoughtful updates and plenty of photos so you always feel connected and reassured while you’re away. I work remotely in Old Town and have flexibility with my job that would allow me to visit your pets in the morning, afternoon and evening. I don’t watch animals in my own other than my own but am happy to walk dogs or play inside as well as letting your cat out if that is something in their normal routine.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Wellington
Matt did a wonderful job caring for our cat gang this weekend! We have a complicated set up and he navigated it seamlessly. He provided frequent updates and reached out with questions as needed. We came home to a cleaner house than we left. Thank you again for taking such good care of our fur babies!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Kaitlyn provided! She did an absolutely amazing job and made the entire experience completely stress-free. She was reliable, attentive, communicative, and clearly put a lot of care into making sure everything was taken care of while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you so much!

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Wellington is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $29 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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 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 sitter.
