“Matt takes my dog on a mile and a half walk. He comes with his own pooper, scooper and clean up when he poops. I love that Matt respect my dog and my dog respects him. I would definitely recommend Matt to walk other dogs.”
“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’ve had pets and cared for animals of all sizes for over thirty years. I will provide the same care for your pets that I do for my own. We have a four-year-old Dalmatian named Blaze, who is great with kids, people, and other dogs. We also have five cats who are very much a part of our family. We each work from home, so this would truly be a family experience for your pet, with around-the-clock care, supervision, and the love of a large family. We would bring your pet on walks with us and include them in our outings, depending on your approval. We have a fenced-in yard with a pool, where your pet is welcome to swim with your approval. Our cats are part of our family and are able to roam the house freely. We also have gates around the stairs, as we have a toddler in the home. Your pet would be included in our daily activities and treated like one of our own! We work from home, so can provide attention to your pet throughout the day, with several potty breaks and walks to ensure your pet has a seamless transition. Our pets are a part of our family. They are all spoiled, and our dog goes everywhere with Larry. The cats all have their own needs, getting their love from any of the family on their own terms.
“Lenny is great! I could say more, but those three words fit perfectly. My dog loves her. I was sold by the first picture of my boy getting water on his walk during a hot day. Lenny is thoughtful and asks the right questions. I feel really good letting her take care of my boy. More to the point, my dog is excited for his walks – you can’t give a better recommendation that that!”
“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 🐾”
“Paola did a great job with our two dogs, who can be a lot to handle at the same time! She was prepared with leashes and bags just in case and was very helpful handling them during an outdoor family photoshoot!”
About: I love animals so much! I am mindful and considerate of pet of all kind I connect with both people and pets very well in different environments. I'm respectful and understanding towards the needs of the pets and their owner. Thank you for trusting me Availability is early mornings 6am-9am drop ins afternoons 10-5pm and 5pm - 10pm. Let me know questions you may have I may be flexible. I’d prefer to house-sit at rather than board, but I’m open to discussing it. I have an open living room with space for a crate or dog, a spare-room bed, and a backyard. Please provide details about morning and evening meals and any required medication. :) I can take walks in the morning, afternoon, and evening, with additional walks
“Sun has been great with our dog (Max), a 95-pound Staffy-Boxer mix, who can be excitable and overly rambunctious at times. Sun is very responsive to messages through Rover and has been very accommodating when unexpected circumstances crop up (e.g., ensuring Max has dinner if we have to stay late at the office). She’s also surprised Max with the occasional treat (like puppy pops on warm days), but she always checks in ahead of time to make sure he’s allowed to have them.”
About: I grew up with dogs in my household and have cared for my mothers dogs and cats when she is away. Through Rover, I have earned the trust of many clients with their dogs and cats. One client has kept me on regular walking duty for over 3 years! I have had cats for 30 years and I must admit they are my favorite animal! I have fostered kittens for 2 years. I have 3 cats of my own. Luckily I work from home so I can often run errands easily throughout the day. I have plenty of availability in the evenings as well! I love my own pets very much. I will take great care of your pets with love and attention with respect to your wishes and needs.
About: I owned a dog for 11 years, have walked and boarded multiple neighborhood dogs over the past few years. I love walking dogs, taking them to the dog park, and taking care of them. I’m in-between jobs so my schedule is flexible and access to a car. As a runner, I love being outside and on my feet, and dogs give me a great excuse to do that! At my home, my first priority is making sure dogs don’t have access to food that would harm them. I’m happy to use an owners crate when overnighting dogs, but otherwise they sleep in my small dog bed.
“We love Steph! She is super easy going and fun. She takes great care of Charlie and also a ton of really cute photos during her walks. I look forward to the pictures during my work day! Steph is awesome and I highly recommend her to care for your pet. In fact, we have gained a trusted friend thanks to Rover! ?”
About: I have taken care of mostly cats since my daughter was a baby, for over 18 years! Friends and family have trusted me to play, & feed their cats as I’m passionate about them. As for dogs, I used to own 6 dogs over 13 years ago & have walked other dogs but nothing more. I’m pretty flexible to care for your animal. I’m a stay at home mom with a teen and toddler that absolutely adores animals and would be with me at all times. And other than him taking up my time, I can be flexible. I currently have 2 cats of my own, Simba that was born on Feb of 2020 and Maxi that was born December 2023. They are both indoors and can easily crate my cat or put them in the room if you choose to have your cat over my home.
“Jhonathan was absolutely amazing with our Olive and so patient! She's new to having outsiders around and he won her over. Highly recommend to take care of your furry ones!”
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!
About: I have taken care of pets for many years and have owned pets my entire life. Friends and family have consistently relied on me to feed, walk, check in, and play with their pets. During the summertimes my daily/weekly schedule is very free and flexible. I will be off at college during the school year but I will be available during my winter break (Dec 20-Jan 12) and thanksgiving break (Nov 22-30th). I understand that leaving your beloved pets can be stressful, which is why I'm committed to providing top notch care right in the comfort of their own home. My approach focuses on maintaining their routine, minimizing anxiety, and ensuring they feel safe and loved. This includes regular feeding schedules, ample playtime and exercise tailored to their needs, and plenty of cuddles.

Kaitlyn is amazing! My first time booking with Rover was with Kaitlyn and she really made a great impression. She was very flexible with adding on walks, meeting with me and pup prior to my trip, and she went above and beyond helping with giving my cat her meds as well! My pets absolutely love her and I’m so grateful for her assistance while I was gone. I definitely recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Wellington is $26 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $31 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.
As of November 2026, there are 15,066 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 Wellington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Wellington after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers 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 walker.
