“Jeana is AMAZING. She is incredibly kind and wonderful to my dogs, understands their very different needs and goes above and beyond to meet their needs. She is also very quick with responding and very communicative (and takes the best pet photos!). She really loves the animals like they are her own and I can not recommend her enough.”
“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!”
“Lori is excellent! My pup and I are so thankful for her. She is trustworthy! My pup has bad allergies and is epileptic (a lot going on, I know!), but Lori has such confidence with it all. I will absolutely use her again!”
“Isabella is great! She's very responsive, flexible to help with added walks on unexpected days that pop up during the week, and she takes extra special care of my pup who can be stubborn at times and sensitive to heat. Highly recommend!”
“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”
About: I currently have a 2 1/2 year old pug named Alfie. Love going for walks and playing with pups. Have spare time that I can dedicate to giving pets the attention and exercise that they need and deserve. Very attentive and enjoy being outside and living an active lifestyle. But if a dog doesn’t like activity as much I also enjoy cuddling and giving belly rubs inside the house as well. If you’re looking for someone to love your pet and care for them the way you personally would I am the right person for your dog walking or overnight stay needs. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have about your pet! Weekends are the best availability for me. I do have some availability in the mornings to check on animals and go for walks as well. I am willing to visit the pets home to care for them if they are more comfortable staying in their own space. Pets are also welcome in my home if they are good with another dog and comfortable being somewhere new.
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.

My availability can vary depending on my work schedule, but I’m happy to coordinate ahead of time to make sure I can provide consistent and reliable care for your pet. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow their routine and special needs, and give them plenty of attention and affection.

Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands while you’re away.
“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.”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals throughout my life. I showed farm animals in my youth and always had plenty of dogs at home. I love the puppy and young adult stage in dogs, and have a major soft spot for the old timers. I currently have a two beagles and we spend lots of time playing and walking outside. I work a full time job, but work from home often. Depending on the week, I can be available for some combination of evening, lunch, and morning check ins/walks. Sundays are available as well for similar services. I am a big believer in the letter of the law when it comes to caring for a pet in your home or on a walk. I want to be able to deliver maximum peace of mind for you and your pooch. If you have any concerns about anxiety, let me know and I can make sure that we are on the same page about ways to combat it.

“Randy is an incredible dog sitter. He is communicative, timely, thoughtful, and just all around an asset to the Rover community. He sends plenty of pictures and updates and is incredibly patient with our Golden Retriever puppy, Frankie. I can’t recommend Randy enough!”
About: Hi, I’m Angel! With experience working and volunteering at animal shelters and Dog Daycares, I’m a responsible and attentive caregiver who will treat your pets like my own. Your pets happiness and well-being are my top priorities! Updates and photos are included in every service for your peace of mind. When you leave your pet with me, you can rest assured they’re in loving, capable hands. As a substitute teacher (who is now out for the summer!) I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be available for pet care on weekdays and weekends, 24/7. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I can adjust my availability to meet your pet’s needs. My priority is ensuring they receive the attention, care, and companionship they deserve, no matter the time of day! When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I follow all instructions closely, from feeding schedules to exercise needs, and ensure they feel safe and loved while their owner is away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or (consensual!) cuddle sessions, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and preferences. I also keep the home clean, respect the space, and provide regular updates (including pictures) so owners can feel at ease knowing their pet is safe and sound.
About: I am full-time working from home now, so since I’ve got some extra time I would love to take care of your dog! We have a dog, cat, and 1 year old baby here but would love to have someone else over to play. We have a large fenced in back yard, perfect for running around or relaxing in the sun. I would also love to pick your dog up and take it on a walk. I am available all day at home. We love dogs, have relied on Rover sitters a lot, and would love to help you out! Please let me know if you would like to come for a meet and greet! Our lives have revolved around our pets for many years. Taking care of them is the first thing we do when we wake up and they are top of mind all day long. Our dog enjoys spending a lot of time outside, but if your dog wants to shadow me that’s great too! I am happy to accommodate any care requirements

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!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Wellington on Rover is $25.53 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 15,226 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
- 95% 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.
