“Joseph was very helpful during our visit to The Gorge Amphitheatre. He was very communicative and flexible with our schedule. Would highly recommend and definitely book with again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Absolutely amazing care for my dog Pluto! Constant updates helped me also feel comfortable with my dog in their care! Great job! I will definitely come back when I need someone to care for my sweet Pluto!”
“Our two Australian Shepherds had a blast staying with Austyn. Our dogs became pals with her dogs and they had a great time together. We appreciated the daily photos and updates, and she was so kind to accept us on short notice. We definitely recommend her!”
“I highly recommend Kim for overnight boarding. Kim took great care of Kenai on his first time away from home since we adopted him from the Humane Society. She supported him through his anxiety and helped him learn and grow more confident in new situations. Kim and her daughter gave him lots of time and calmness to help him feel more comfortable.”
“Shelley provided great care to Lark and Jigglypuff. Shelley's pup got along well with mine in a clean, comfortable home for the day and night. I'll certainly rebook when I'm in the area!”
“Macken took great care of Buster. Buster was happy and calm when I picked him up. Macken boards multiple dogs which Buster can be weird about, but his property is big enough for the dogs to comfortably have their own space. Macken handles the pack very well.”
“Love the energy she bought. You could tell she loved dogs and her golden, Luke, was a wonderful play mate. I enjoyed all the photos of them playing together and I thought it was super cute that Juno had a bandana on. We've decided to get him one after seeing how adorable he was in it.”
“Banjo had the best time with Brynna and the pups! She sent pictures and updates each day. He had friends to play with and also time and space for his beloved naps. By far this has been my best experience using Rover. Banjo is still happily enjoying some of the treats she packed for him to take home ❤️”
“Blitz had probably the best weekend of his life staying with Jen and her family. There was plenty of room to for him to roam and play with her other dogs there at her beautiful home. I will highly recommend her to friends and family!”
“Beth is a fabulous dog sitter/boarder. She took such great care of our dog, sent pics, and communicated daily. She responds promptly, is very personable and kind, and our dog had a great time at her house. We won't consider going to anyone else!”
“Terry and Fernanda are great! My dog was happy and well cared for. He had a couple of other dogs to play with which he loved. They took great care of my dog and I'll definitely take him back.”
“Brooke did amazing with Joey. We set up a meeting beforehand to let the dogs meet, and they all got along swell. She left me pictures and updates on how Joey was doing. My dog looked happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would recommend her if you need your dog taken care of and want peace of mind.”
“Shawna was so amazing with our pups! Clear communication, very patient, and trustworthy. They loved their stay, and I loved being able to relax on my trip knowing the dogs were taken care of :)”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ellensburg
Shelly is absolutely fantastic! We left our French Bulldog, Remi in her care for over a week. She was kind, considerate, and very loving. It was beyond clear that she appreciates animals, and Remi was treated exceptionally well. Communication was super easy. Shelly provided many updates and followed our care instructions perfectly. I would recommend her without hesitation, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the near future.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ellensburg on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
90% of Ellensburg sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Ellensburg landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ellensburg home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ellensburg.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ellensburg sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 .
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 WA 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
