“My dog had an amazing time and I am so appreciative that he was able to accommodate my last minute booking. Absolutely loved the photos and videos, and the fast communication. Will definitely book again!”
About: I owned a dog for most of my life. My dog sadly passed away after fifteen great years of happiness! I watch my friend's dogs when they go out of town because I'm usually always reliable and do most of my work inside my home. I am not lazy with taking dogs on walks and I care for pets like they are my own :) I am a stay at home mom to a 2 year old so I am always home to care for your loved one. We have a fenced backyard and lots of areas to walk. I can be flexible about what your pet needs. If you would prefer them in a crate at night I’d be happy to do that but usually I love having your pets roam around my townhouse and our fenced yard!
“Just overwhelmed by the kindness, I genuinely was scared to leave my fur baby alone for the first time with someone new but Matthew made the process simple, kept me updated, and made arrangements with us that worked even tho it was last minute. 100/10”
“My pup had a great time at Russ's house! She came back super tired from playing with the other dogs. Russ sent me several updates throughout the day, which I really loved. Drop off and pick up was super easy- I will be using Russ again!”
“You guys were a life saver, I must admit I was a bit nervous as this was a first time using Rover. But Natalie and Bryce made me at ease for the moment we met. Now let’s get into Dutch :) we had a time getting in the truck as he was still trying to follow you guys!!! That tells me he really enjoyed the care you provided. Thank you thank you soooo much!! We would definitely use you guys again!!!!!!!”
“Michael and Erin's home is super dog friendly, and Michael asked all the important questions about my senior pup. When I returned to get her after a day of boarding, she was happy and slept very well that night. The day of socializing was very good for her!”
About: Mom of dogs, cats, birds, lizards and other animals looking to spoil more in my spare time. Can promise treats and lots of hugs if needed. Working as a researcher so the schedule varies a bit but is generally fairly free since I work from home and have a flexible schedule I have a fenced yard, but would prefer to see animal at clients house since my dog and cat get stressed at having their space invaded, unless it's by a well known friend
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.
“Awesome experience! Jason and Jeremy were wonderful and gave us piece of mind that our dog was having a great time as opposed to being locked up in a kennel all day. Thank you!”
About: Hi! My name is Anna. I’m so excited to share my experience and the special moments I create with the pets I care for, so I’d love to introduce myself and help you get to know me better 💕 I’ve been caring for pets my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. I have two girls, Rosie and Misa. They are very sweet and friendly dogs who are used to making new friends all the time. I work from home full time, which allows me to spend lots of quality time with pets, by going for walks, giving cuddles and treats, playing indoors and outdoors, and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved! I’m proud to be a pet sitter and provide a safe, clean, and comfortable home for your beloved pets. My home has a large, fenced, and secure backyard where your pet can safely play, explore, and enjoy their time outside. It makes me happy to see pets feel relaxed and happy in my care. I send photos and videos regularly throughout the day, and I always keep open, friendly communication during the stay because I understand, how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable and know how their pets are doing. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet! Thank you for being here 🌈✨ Love, Anna I work from home full time, available every day, including weekends and holidays. My home has a large, clean, fenced, and secure backyard where pets can safely run, play, and relax in the sun I’m always outside with them to supervise, keep them company, and make sure they’re happy and comfortable For all my new friends: I would love to schedule a meet and greet before the boarding stay, so we can go over your pet’s routine and care, and make sure everyone feels comfortable. I also require up to date vaccination records for each pet prior to the meet and greet Pet safety and health is an important part of being a pet sitter: I regularly check doors & windows, clean food & water bowls daily, mop the floors, and vacuum the couch..etc. I follow all instructions provided by the pet parent, including feeding your pet according to their schedule & dietary needs, as well as any medication instructions you provide. I always maintain open and responsible communication with pet parents while your baby is staying at my place My main priority is to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and comfortable I spend as much time as needed giving them attention, love, and lots of cuddles during their stay, because pets deserve the best life!
“Christin took such wonderful care of Vinny! We received regular updates with messages and photos throughout his stay, which we really appreciated. Vinny was clearly so happy and comfortable with her — they went on walks, and she was flexible with a later evening pickup. When we got him back, he was calm and relaxed, which is not something we experience very often. It was clear he felt safe, cared for, and truly enjoyed his time with Christin. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for excellent care.”
“Jen and Louis saved the day and came through for me and my chiweenie Willar when I really needed a sitter who understands my senior pup's needs. Willar has dietary restrictions and some quirks, and Jen was attentive, followed all the instructions for Willar's routine, and she asked very thoughtful questions. Additionally, her dog Louis is so welcoming and sweet. They really helped with some transitions I'm going through and were very accommodating.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Wellington on Rover is $28.89 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Wellington commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in VA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 4,975 sitters in Wellington, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
