“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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“In one word.... AWESOME!!!! Zlatina agreed to board my German Shepheard, Penelope, for a week, starting early on a Sunday when I needed to make an un-planned trip to Texas to support one of our Projects. It was on short notice. We agreed to a Meet and Greet to see how my dog and their dog Smoke, would do together. It was instant success!! I knew right away that both Zlatina and Nathan were dog lovers and I was very comfortable leaving my girl with them. Zlatina sent me photos and updates through the week on how Penelope was doing which was great! I have two more scheduled trips to Texas for work in January and I entrust Zlatina and Nathan completely!! Thank you for working with me on short notice and I HIGHLY recommend Zlatina if you need to board your pet!! Mike Dickman”
“Fantastic dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, kept me updated with photos and messages, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and clearly loved their time with Kimberly! Highly recommend!”
“We love Janet. We know our little baby is safe and loved when we have to leave. Janet keeps contact with us all the time to let us know how is our baby doing. We also receive photographs and videos all the time. Thanks Janet. Luma, Bruce & Lola Lloyd”
“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!”
“When we first contacted Macken about care for our puppy, he was willing to meet us in a park close to my house. We left our 1-1/2 year old puppy in Macken's care for a full week. He sent us pictures every day hiking, walking, snuggling and playing. Our puppy had a great time! Will definitely use again!”
“Terry and Fernanda watched our 4-month old puppy over the holidays -- his first time with boarding while we went on a trip. Our dog was happy, calm, and well-exercised when we returned (no mean feat for this shepherd mix pup)! We especially enjoyed seeing videos of him playing and are so glad he had a great time socializing with the other dogs. Terry and Fernanda love dogs, and it's evident by the way they take such good care of them!”
“I’m so glad I found Beth. She did an amazing job taking care of my dog on a last minute trip, was communicative, and friendly. My dog had a comfy stay with her. Thank you so much. Highly recommended.”
“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.”
“Very kind and attentive. She asked lots of questions to make sure she understood and met my dog’s needs. She also sent plenty of pictures and kept me updated throughout the stay. I really appreciated the communication and care she provided. Honestly, I think my dogs received even more attention and love than they get at home! 😂”
“On our second time booking with Enrique, Athena remembered how well she liked it there. She cried to get off the car and went straight into the house like it was her second home. It made us feel good that she was happy to come back. We will book again soon, for sure!!”
“Jaelyn took very good care of my dog! I was gone for 10 days. She gave me text updates and sent pictures. My dog loved her dog, Nova. She has a nice backyard the dogs can play with each other in. They played together well and were sad to leave each other! Jaelyn has a calming presence which is exactly what my dog needs! I recommend her services :).”
“My doggy had the time of his life with Jessica and her dogs We will definitely bring him back there! Cannot say enough about how much Jessica does to make certain the dogs are happy, entertained and comfy!”
“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.”
“Kristina and her family were great! By the second visit, my Daisy knew she was going somewhere fun where would gets lots of cuddles, pets, and love! Kristina updated me of Daisy’s day and was super easy to work with. I would 1000% recommend Kristina and her family ☺️”
About: We have owned fur babies for the last 25 years, from dogs, cats, chickens, rabbits, goats, as well as pet hamsters and rats. We've had the privilege of taking care of our cats and dogs almost 25 years. We have had them from puppyhood and kittenhood to their geriatric years (two dogs to age 16!). Currently we have three yellow labs; two that we adopted from my parents when they passed, they are, 4,4, and 9 years old. We have always had our dogs trained with the basic obedience commands and we only use encouraging words and actions to help them learn. Many of our animals were rescue pups. We also have dog friendly indoor/outdoor cats. I work part time at home as well as on call work when I am available. I am an early riser and can work as early as 5:30am and as late as 8pm. We offer in home care, to include drop off, doggy day care and pet sitting for dogs and cats. I would also be open to short term pet care in a clients home and I am especially interested in dog walking as well as field trips trail or park walking, and dog parks for dogs that enjoy it. I am also able to provide transportation to vet appointments.

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 September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.
100% 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.
