“Jeana was amazing with my fur babies! They greeted her at the door and were super excited for their walks and getting fresh air. She followed direction effectively and even helped out when one my plants fell over. She was very communicative and reached out when she had questions to make sure she had solutions for anything that may come up. Definitely happy with Jeana and trust her with my pups wholeheartedly! Highly recommend!”

“I am so grateful for Lori and the exceptional care she provides for Korra, my black lab mix. Lori is incredibly sweet and always attentive to Korra’s needs. She goes above and beyond to make sure Korra is comfortable, happy, and well taken care of during every walk. It’s clear that Lori truly loves dogs, and her dedication shines through in the way she interacts with Korra. Highly recommend Lori if you're looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog walker!”

“Matt is a great dog walker. Positive and cheerful with our dog. Takes photos on the walks, reports bathroom breaks, and provides us with a quick report on how it went. N”

“Elyse has been reliable and communicative. My two cats and small dog are comfortable around her and enjoy her visits! Thanks, Elyse, for helping me with my fur babies :)”

“We have a very anxious little pup and were a bit worried he wouldn't warm up to a stranger, but Ian was up for the challenge! He left us detailed notes, so we knew he spent some time working to get Rhett to warm up to him -- and it worked! Very thankful we didn't have to worry about our little guy at all :)”

About: My partner and I both had small to large dogs in our families since we were children. For the past several years, we've dogsat all sizes and ages for our friends and clients. Having a dog ourselves, we understand the needs and mindset of a dog. We believe in daily mental and physical stimulation. This can include sniffmats, food puzzles, tug, training, chase, fetch, walks, hikes, jogs, and more. If your dog loves to play and be active, we're the sitters for you. A typical day is: early morning walk/outdoor play, breakfast, lunchtime walk/outdoor play, evening dinner, night time walk. On weekends, we may find a local hike to enjoy. We have a large, secluded, unfenced backyard that's fun for the dogs to run around or bask in the sun on a long leash or offleash if trained. Our dog sleeps in a crate and uses his crate whenever he wants some "me time." He is so friendly and great about sharing his toys, but he will steal a toy to entice play. To be respectful of our neighbors, we kindly ask for non-excessive barker guests.
“Kaitlyn and Auston have been lovely with my pup! They give wonderful feedback via Rober card and were very pleasant to meet for two meet and greets (: Envy gets her much needed walkies and outdoor time with them and comes back happy!”

“Carly was absolutely fantastic caring for our dog, Kongo, while we were away on vacation. She was consistently timely, punctual, responsible, and extremely responsive throughout the entire process. Most importantly, Kongo absolutely loved her, which gave us tremendous peace of mind while traveling. What truly stood out was Carly’s professionalism and calm demeanor when she unexpectedly had to deal with a malfunctioning smoke alarm at our home during our trip. She handled the situation confidently and without hesitation, acting as though it was no inconvenience at all — despite it being something far beyond what should normally be expected of a dog walker. Knowing Carly was caring for Kongo made our vacation far more relaxing and enjoyable. We are incredibly grateful for her reliability, kindness, and dedication. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and exceptional pet care. Five stars all the way!”

“Samantha was great with my pups, appreciated the communication after the walks and the photos shared of their walk. My pups are very shy, so appreciate her patience to let them warm up to her and spending time for pets and cuddles.”

About: i look forward to taking care of animals and this opportunity will help me gain experience and this opportunity will be best for your pet!! i'm currently unemployed, i go on walks everyday so i will take your pet on potty breaks frequently, all my time will be spent on your beloved pet. I would like to take your pets on walks frequently just so they won’t be inside board and sad. I am working on becoming a vet tech, trust your pet will be taken care of the best of my abilities.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 7! I had a cockapoo for 13 years and now have a 5 year old mini bernedoodle. I’ve been walking dogs for neighbors and friends over the past few years. I just finished my Master’s degree in Europe, and am working a remote internship so have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to watch or walk dogs after 10 am on both weekdays and weekends. I won’t be able to have dogs or cats stay at my house due to my dog preferring her own space. I have experience with dogs up to 65lb so I feel comfortable keeping small to medium sized dogs safe. I also have significant experience with children which I do feel in some ways transfers over to taking care of pets.
About: I've been around dogs most of my life and really enjoy spending time with four-leggeds. I'm great with small dogs and big dogs (and everything in between, ha) and am very patient. I'm currently looking for a full-time job and can generally make most time windows work during the week. Weekends are also not hard to figure out. Dogs are members of the family and I treat them with kindness, patience, and clearly delineate boundaries. I enjoy walking and exercising dogs of all shapes and sizes.
“Lenny did a great job taking our 2 Great Danes on daily walks. The girls really like her and were very excited when she arrived every day. It is apparent how much Lenny likes animals and her enthusiasm and care for them really shows.”

“Isela took great care of Max and gave him much comfort while I was away. I chose to do this at the last minute never doing anything like this before and it was a wonderful experience. Thank you, Isela!”


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.
“Brittani has been walking my dog Denim this past week, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Returning to the office has been a huge adjustment for both me and Denim since she struggles with separation anxiety, but Brittani has been so patient, kind, communicative, and reliable throughout the transition. You can tell she genuinely cares about the dogs she works with, and that peace of mind means everything to me. Really grateful we found her, and Denim is too 🐾”

Jhonathan took excellent care of my pug when I was out of town for a few days. He came over multiple times a day, fed him, and made sure to tell me he was okay by sending me updates. I couldn’t be more thankful to Jhonathan. He’s my go to person to take care of my senior pug.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Wellington on Rover is $25.53 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 15,388 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Wellington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Wellington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Wellington.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellington. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 96% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
