About: I’ve taken care of family pet since I was 16 and could drive. I would pet sit/house sit for my grandpa and her 2 dogs, I also dog and cat sat for my aunt I only work a couple of days a week and I’m wide open besides that for the moment. I am starting college in the fall but there shouldn’t be to much difference in availability. I love all pet and understand the importance of treating a pet with the utmost love. I will follow any instructions you as the owner puts in place, you can rest assured that your pet will be taken care of!
“Lauren did a house visit for my pups and they absolutely loved her! She was able to help us out on short notice too which we appreciate so much. She is so sweet, we will definitely book with Lauren again!”
“Alexis was great with our very energetic but sweet 70lb labradodle. She made visits 2x daily while we were gone and came as promised to feed her and keep her company. It was also a nice surprise to see that she did our dishes while away. Would definitely recommend Alexis to care for your fur babies :)”
About: I have been a cat-owner and dog-owner since I was about 5 years old. Additionally, I have help to care for others pets, from family to friends to community members. I am quick to learning a pets' habits and preferences, doing whatever makes them and their parents most comfortable. I've helped care for puppies that are still in training, old dogs with younger siblings who have varying energies, and cats who need daily medicine and attentive care. I am happy to help with any pet care needed if given time to fully understand a pet's needs and if the furry friend is comfortable with me to do so. While I work full-time, my work schedule is flexible to fit to your and your pets' needs. I am fully available on weekends, unless otherwise stated. And I am happy to do early morning or late evening check-ins or walks if needed. I am an attentive pet-owner who likes to stick to a schedule for both my and my pets' benefit. My priority goes into making sure my pets are taken care of before taking care of myself, and keeping a consistent care and grooming schedule. That care is given ten-fold when I am looking over another person's furry baby. I adjust my schedule and routine to pets' needs, and provide daily or weekly reports to the parents so they are put at ease of their pets' safety and comfort.
About: I absolutely love animals and would prefer their company over humans any day well except for my children. Hmm okay okay you got me there on some days would I definitely prefer their company to my kids lol, but they are the second-best if not tied for first for the company one can keep. I have been surrounded by animals of all kinds my entire life. I don't remember a time when we or I didn't own at least one animal. To me life doesn't exists without a fur baby of some kind. Most of the time knowledge comes from first hand experience and that I have plenty of, matter of a fact I would dare to say at least 25 years of experience of being around and caring for animals. From house pets to farm animals and your occasional lost and or injured wild animal. I am comfortable with all care that is required or might be required in a pets daily care. If it's not something I am familiar with or if there is something that is required that I have not had experience with, I am a great listener and quick and eager to learn something new there is never to much knowledge one can obtain. How does pet care fit into my daily and weekly routine? Well for me my pet's have always and will always be treated as family. They are a family member if you know you know. So they are just another kid i am taking care of, raising and loving on a daily basis. Only they don't have thumbs so they won't be learning to clean up their own mess in time, however you can forget what color of bowl to give them and they will not be throwing a fit for 30 minutes even if your correct your mistake :) and they have a love that last and is unconditional until their last breath. When you make the commitment to get a pet their care doesn't fit into your daily routine it becomes part of your daily routine that's all there is to it. So i don't know how to explain to you how my pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine because it is simply part of it. I will care for the pets in your home just as I would in my home and or as you the client does in your home on a daily basis or however you desired. Nothing would differ from the way their regular day to day goes, besides maybe some extra loving, treats and play time. But the whole goal and job is to keep them in their home a place they are safe and familiar with while you their owner is away. To keep them stress free and ultimately for it to go unnoticed that you are even away. So unless stated otherwise beforehand by yourself I would plan my day's accordingly to how you live and cares for their pets.
“Ashton went above and beyond my wants and needs for looking after my pup. I was on a work trip out of state and never worried or stressed because I was constantly getting updates and photos. I wouldn't imagine anyone else looking after my boy.”
“Susan did a wonderful job stopping in to visit our new Kitty and to take care of our chickens too. She’s one of the best we’ve had!! Having a good sitter for our animals is a relief allowing us to visit family without having to worry. She appeared to arrive on time and was very thorough – following our list of items that needed daily attention – and not one items was missed. Susan comes off as smart, friendly and attentive and picked up on our daily pet and house routine very quickly. And she performed some extra items too – and without question or complaint. Again she was a wonderful sitter for our pets and am looking forward to having her back again soon!!”
About: I have been dog-walking and pet sitting for nearly half my life! In my home town many locals knew me for my dog walking ‘business’ and helping out those in need. I am a student at central and I would love to add time with nearby furry friends into my schedule. I am confident in my ability to work with clients on this. I am used to working with clients on what specifically their pet needs. For some it’s longer walks and for others it’s a special treat before bed. Whatever your pet needs I will be there to give to them.
About: I grew up in 4-H and FFA raising and showing all sorts of livestock. Dogs always being a major part of it. I have had the pleasure of taking care of dogs from puppy stages to an acient 16 yr old pug and understand the different responsibilities that come at each stage. I love all animals and will do my absolute best to build the necessary bond with each and every pet I come across. I currently own a border collie who is amazing! I work full time M-F 8am to 4pm with necessary breaks to take my dog out. I work from home most of the week. I am also very flexible, let me know what you need and I am sure we can figure something out. I have a large unfenced yard. I take my dog out at least once a day for no less than an hour. I have parks near, a great neighborhood to walk and a couple nice trails near me. I find it imprtant to switch things up so the dogs do not get bored. I have one dog, a border collie and chickens fenced in my backyard. If your dog is not chicken friendly let me know and maybe we can find a way to make it work. I currently work from home 4-5 days a week and am home most weekends. I am available to let dogs out as often as they need during the day. I have a fenced backyard that is full of dog toys and a possible agility course. My dog and I take an hour walk daily but can adjust to your dogs needs.
About: I am a stay at home mom of two(ages 9 and 7). I have owned and taken care of animals my entire life. I do have a large (unfenced) yard to run around and play in. We are an active family and love going for walks, hiking, going to the dog park, and being outdoors. I am currently working toward becoming a dog trainer. I have a flexible schedule and willing to accommodate for any pet. If your pets don't get along with other animals or children, we do have the space to keep them seperated. We treat animals like family in our home. I will send pictures updates throughout the stay. I am flexible so if you end up needing a last minute sitter I can usually accommodate for that. If you're looking for someone to spoil your pet while you're away, I would love to be that person. I can do extended stays, just send me a message and we can discuss details. During their stay, I will treat you pet exactly like I treat my own, they will get plenty of play time and alot of love. If it's an extended stay, I may have to leave to run an errand once in awhile, but I will never leave them unattended for longer than 2 hours. I don't leave at all during the first 24 hours to give them time to adjust and settle in. I do accept dogs of all personalities, breeds, and sizes. I have dealt with aggressive dogs and behavior issues in the past, so if you're dog has any behavioral problems, just be up front about it and I can work with it. I love all animals. I will do everything to make sure your pet has a comfortable, fun, and more importantly a safe stay while in my care. In the event that someone else is doing the drop off, I will need there name beforehand. If someone else will be doing pick up, I will need a name and photo or description of them. I treat all 4 legged friends like children and want to keep them safe. I'm a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for pets and give them all the love and attention they deserve. On a typical day, we go for walks, play outside, occasionally go to the dog park or hiking(depending on the pets in my care), and go swimming when the weather is nice. If a pet has a specific routine, we try to stick to it as much as possible. Every stay varies depending on the pets needs and likes/dislikes.
About: I have taken care of animals for 20 years. Pets ranging from big to small. I have cared for animals with specific health needs and intense care. Puppies, pythons, cats, senior dogs, blue eyed skinks and sometimes they were all in the same home! I have free time after work. I work part time and so would love to have a visit or walk your pet then. Also some weekend availability will be offered. Can’t wait to meet your precious pets! In my home they will be treated as if my own and all their needs will be met. I am very in tune with animals and my fenced yard gives them ample room to play.

Susan did a terrific job caring for my older cat Tink while I was away for a week! I appreciated her daily check-ins and pics of Tink, and felt confident that she was being well cared for. I will absolutely reach out to Susan again for pet sitting, and recommend her wholeheartedly!
Ruby watched our girl Luna while we were away for a work trip. She made Luna feel very comfortable, and my husband and I were relieved knowing our girl was being watched by an incredibly trustworthy person. Ruby also brought in packages for us and notified us where she left them in our place. We highly recommend Ruby and will be having her pet sit for us again!

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ellensburg on Rover is $21.4 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.

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.
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.
