“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.”
“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 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📸🫶!
“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!”
“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!”
“Was flexible when there was an issue with booking of dates and communicative with us. Appreciate the photos and the care given to our sweet babes. I would recommend her services and use her again! Thank you!!”
“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.”
“SOO happy Casandra was able to drop in and watch my dog last minute! I had such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands! She went above and beyond to make sure Blaze was well taken care of! I appreciate it so much and will absolutely book with her again!”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
About: As both a cat mom and a dog mom, I treat every baby like my own. I’m currently studying for the MCAT from home, so I’m here all day with plenty of time for play, walks, and close attention! No leaving your pet alone for hours. I have hands-on experience with cats and dogs, including administering medications, so I’m comfortable with special needs and daily routines. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits to feed and check on your pets, and boarding in my home, which has a big fenced backyard where dogs have real room to run. Whether your pet needs meds, a meal, a walk, or steady companionship, I’ll keep them safe, comfortable, and loved! Since I’m studying for the MCAT from home, my schedule is flexible. That means your pet gets attention, play, walks, and feeding throughout the day, not just a quick check-in. I can keep up with regular routines, medication times, and meals, and I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and dog walks on both weekdays and weekends. Any time you need me - I’m here! I know how hard it is to leave your pet with someone new, as a pet parent myself, I don’t take that trust lightly. Your fur baby will be welcomed into a calm, loving home with a big fenced backyard where dogs can run and play safely, and cozy quiet spaces where cats can feel at home. Pets are never left alone for long. They’ll have company, comfort, and attention all day. I can crate dogs if that’s part of their routine, and I’m experienced with administering medications, so pets with special needs are in caring, capable hands. I follow every feeding and care instruction closely, keep everything clean, and keep a close eye out for the little signs that tell me a pet is happy or that something’s off. Most of all, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and attention I give my own.
“Jeana is honestly the best! Our cats can be nervous but they always seem so happy in the wonderful photos Jeana takes of them. She is super communicative and helpful and most of all takes A+ care of our kitties whilst we are away! Could not recommend more :)”
“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!”
“Isela was great! This is the second time I've had her look after my senior cat and I really appreciate her being there to give his meds and hang out with him. Will absolutely be booking more visits very soon!”
“Lenny is absolutely amazing! We just moved from overseas and I was worried my dogchild (he’s a senior) was going to have a problem bonding with a new sitter because he adored his last sitter. It’s safe to say he adores Lenny already and that’s such a relief. Lenny is such a great communicator and I love all the pictures taken daily. I couldn’t have picked a better person.”
“Holly is amazing! She goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is cared for and safe. We love knowing that our dog is happy in Holly’s care. She takes him for walks and works on training skills with our puppy who adores her. Can’t say enough great things!”

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.
Brittany is our go-to for watching our fur babies! She's very kind and flexible if things change up, we are confident that we can rely on her to make sure our animals are taken care of. We always look forward to her check in notes and photos and appreciate her thorough communication and openness. Can't recommend her enough!!
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.
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!
Sarah stopped in for a practice visit before taking care of our 2 cats for an upcoming weekend. She asked all the right questions especially for things we overlooked. We never go away from our babies but now we can feel secure that Sarah will treat them like her own.

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.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 7,107 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Wellington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellington. On Rover:

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.
