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.
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.
“Review for Ian D. I can't recommend Ian D highly enough! My two dogs have their quirks—especially my Staffy, who tends to be a bit wary of men. Ian was aware of this and took the time to ease into the situation, which I found incredibly impressive. Now, Izzy is a huge fan! He was consistently on time and provided them with wonderful walks every day. It's clear he genuinely cares for the dogs and understands their needs. His responsible approach and great personality make him an outstanding choice for any dog owner. If you're looking for a reliable and caring dog walker, sitter look no further!”
“Our pup was chill when we returned home; relaxed from his long walk in the cold. Carly took him on a nice long walk and he is now, a few hours later, happily napping on my lap. Carly must have kept him moving since they did almost 2 miles! And he loves to sniff, so that’s impressive! Thanks for giving him a healthy diversion while we were out.”
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.
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.
“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 :)”
“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 🐾”
“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!”
“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!”

“Samantha was wonderful with my dog! It was a lovely day for a walk, and she took great care of my dog, making sure she got some exercise, a potty break, and even a lunchtime snack. Samantha was kind, caring, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. I really appreciated her thoughtfulness and would highly recommend Samantha.”

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful experience! She was reliable, communicative, and took amazing care of my baby, Denim Bleu. I really appreciated the updates and photos after each walk, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Denim looked happy, comfortable, and well cared for every visit. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable walker.
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!
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!
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.

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.

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.
