“I had yet another flight failure and didn't make it home. The airlines string us along until last minute, so when I reached out to Lori at almost 9 pm, I was so grateful she was willing to as another visit to my cats. And as I was languishing in rebooting purgatory with everything's else at La Guardia, I was cheered up with the pictures of my cats which were sent within the hour. (She takes great pictures). I highly recommend Lori--its just great peace of mind when she is watching my cats.”
“Great experience! She was very flexible, communicative, and took great care of my dogs during the drop-in visits. I really appreciated the updates and knowing my pups were in good hands. Will definitely book with her again!”
“We were out of the country with no cell access and Andy watched our little kitty. Everything went well. Despite us being unreachable, she sent updates and photos from each visit and I know our kitty enjoyed having her. Everything looked great when we got home.”
About: Trusted Veteran • Farm-Raised Animal Lover • Dependable Dog Walker Growing up on a farm in North Dakota gave me hands-on experience caring for animals from an early age. As a dog owner and lifelong animal lover, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and positive interactions. My military background strengthened my reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to following instructions, ensuring every pet receives safe, dependable care. Whether it's an energetic walk, playtime, or providing companionship, I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize their happiness, safety, and well-being. I recently retired from the Army, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I'm available on weekdays, evenings, and most weekends, allowing me to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and last-minute requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in their home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, medications (if needed), playtime, and potty breaks. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise while respecting their individual personalities and comfort levels. I will provide regular updates with photos, and treat every home and pet with the same care and respect as my own.
About: Hi! I’m Callyn, and I have an 8-year-old Chihuahua named Cookie who is a very special part of my family. My experience comes from caring for my own dog, and I’m new to caring for other people’s pets. Caring for Cookie has taught me the importance of patience, gentle attention, and a consistent routine. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s habits and needs, follow your care instructions, and help them feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before booking so we can make sure it’s a good fit. You can also expect photos and updates. I speak both English and Spanish! I work and attend college, so I plan pet care around my schedule. I’m available every Thursday after 12 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays after 3 p.m., and Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after 5 p.m. During these hours, I’m happy to provide walks, visits, and attention for your pets! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, and daily routines, and take time to learn about their personality and needs. I keep dogs on a leash during walks and send photos and updates so you know how they’re doing.
“Katie was very helpful in caring for my cat, Fidel, during the holidays. It was my first time using rover and an overall positive experience. She communicated well, and went above and beyond to provide him with care.”
“Rachel has absolutely earned her stellar reputation! She worked with us to ensure she could take care of our cats. We were totally confident in her ability and she gave us so much peace of mind. I would recommend Rachel to anyone that has animals, she is competent, confident and willing!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs, including caring for my own cat and helping care for a friend’s senior age Chihuahua. I have also volunteered at a animal shelter in Blacksburg, VA. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks, litter box care, and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’m patient and attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I understand that some pets need lots of attention while others need a little more space. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. My schedule gives me flexibility to provide consistent pet care throughout the week. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting depending on the timing and needs of each pet. I’m happy to work with owners on a schedule that keeps their pets comfortable and maintains their normal routine while they’re away I take pet safety seriously and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, walks, routines, and any house rules. I’m attentive to pets’ behavior and comfort and won’t force interaction if they need space. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing while you’re away
“Jhonathan was a life saver once again! Stepping in to care for my 2 Goldens with short notice. He is extremely reliable and I always receive updates and photos on my pups. I lucked out finding him!”
“SOO happy Casandra was able to drop in and watch my dog last minute! I had such peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands! She went above and beyond to make sure Blaze was well taken care of! I appreciate it so much and will absolutely book with her again!”
“Anica took such good care of our dog and cat. Even though our cat is spicy, she still went out of her way to engage with her safely! When our dog got a tick, she removed it for us instead of waiting for us to get home. She was also super flexible when our travel plans changed unexpectedly. It was such a comfort when things were chaotic, we knew Anica was taking great care of our babies. Will definitely be using her services again!”
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!
“Julia was able to watch my dog Whiskey at the last minute. He can be anxious around new people and in a new situation, but Julia was able to take care of everything and he had a great time.”
About: I have taken care of friends, colleagues and neighbors pets over the past 20 years. Some of my residents would not trust their pets to anyone else (so I was told). Pet care would fit into my daily or weekly routine just nicely at this time. I was laid off recently and what better ways to spend my days than with animals. I have two big dogs and a cat but my daughter lives with me so I can come and care for your pets in your home while my pets are taken care of by my daughter.
About: Hi! I grew up with family dogs. I always love caring for them and taking them on long walks. I rescued my dog Reagan. She is a 10 year old medium-sized friendly high-energy dog that would love a housemate to spend time and play with. I live in a house with a dog door and a fenced in yard. I am also able to take the dogs out on frequent walks easily. I also have a lot of green space near my place, to include the Mount Vernon Trail and Jones Point Park. When boarding, I will primarily be home with the dogs. Boarding pick-ups after 3pm will incur a daycare fee of $30. I can't wait to meet and spend time with your pup! I work from home full time and have flexibility with my daytime work schedule if the dog needs frequent walks or play through the day. Dogs are allowed on my furniture and have really all the freedom to roam as they please. I also have a dog door so they can go outside as they like. But I can also easily let them out and monitor them if they do not care for a dog door.
“I booked Amillita for 2 check-in sessions at our house and she went above and beyond! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous, but Amillita really made me feel like my pup, Dewey, would be in good hands during our meet and greet. And she definitely delivered! Dewey is a very energetic pup, so I was worried he’d be too much for her. But she played with him, fed him, and even walked him (even though he isn’t the best on the leash yet) 😅. She gave regular updates and sent lots of pictures. So very grateful for Amillita and would highly recommend her!”

Brooke was accommodating and caring when she provided drop-in and walking services to my two dogs. She kept them comfortable and happy, and her professionalism gave me great peace of mind during a longer than usual work day. I could concentrate on my work knowing the pups were well looked after. Thanks, Brooke!!!
Andrea took such incredible care of our pups! She gave us great updates and made timely visits. Kept us well informed of everything going on with them, and communicated perfectly! Even went the extra mile and brought packages in for us while away! Highly recommend!
Jordan was absolutely wonderful with both of our dogs! We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure they were both happy and well taken care of. She was reliable, attentive, and handled having two pups perfectly. We came home to two very happy dogs! We would absolutely book with Jordan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pups.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Wellington is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $18 and $26 per visit. On Rover, sitters 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 15,302 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Wellington. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Wellington. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% 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 sitter 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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters 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 sitter.
