“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 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
About: I have had pets my whole life up! I'm a full time mom with 3 kiddos (2 in school and 1 not in school cause shes a baby!) My 1 year old will be accompanying me to any potential jobs, so if you know your pet is not good with kids please let me know. She will have as little access as possible either way, she will most likely be in her stroller. My schedule is very open. Whatever work you're needing with your animals, please reach out. I would love to help in any way that I can. Animal care in my home will be considered on a case-by-case basis. Animal care in your home will be as requested by you. I typically could not do overnight care as I've got kiddos in school and will most likely have to travel a bit to help you with your animals, but on weekends or breaks I can consider it.
“Janet was amazing with my (somewhat difficult) dog. She spent one weekend with Janet and came home with new skills. I'm very impressed and I would definitely recommend Janet. ”
“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! 😂”
“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!”
“This was my first time using Kaelyn and she was able to take my dog in last minute. Communication was easy from start to finish. She sent me photos within hours of dropping Ginger off and the next day. I would recommend her and would use her again.”
About: I have a great love for animals and many years experience in boarding and sitting. I am a non smoker. My living space is pet friendly and spacious with many parks and trails near by perfect for walking and play time as well as a fenced yard. I will take great care and give much love to your furry family as if they were my own. I’m currently applying for grad school and part time jobs, so I am home often. I have a fenced yard and live close to many parks and trails for animals who require more physical movement and I take daily walks on my own. Occasionally, I’ll have my own dog staying with me if your pet requires a friend, it can be arranged. For boarding, I have a fenced yard. I also have transportation for house sitting or over night care. I am very flexible and will do everything in my power to make sure your fury family is well cared for, safe, and as close to their daily routine as possible.
“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 ☺️”
“Heather and family took excellent care of my 2 year old yellow lab for ten days. She has two large labs herself and they all played delightfully. My lab also learned the joys of being around young children (or grandchildren), which will serve him well in the future. Heather was flexible about a false alarm health issue my lab had around departure time, which I much appreciated. My dog was returned trim and happy. He misses his play buddies.”
About: I’ve always had a huge soft spot for dogs, they truly are family! I love getting to know each dog’s unique personality, whether they’re playful and energetic, a professional cuddle-bug, or a little more shy and independent. I’m a caring, attentive, and responsible pet lover who will treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. From walks and playtime to belly rubs, cuddles, and keeping their routine on track, I want every pup in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone else, and I don’t take that trust lightly. My goal is simple: happy dogs, happy humans, and lots of wagging tails! 🐶❤️ I work full time, but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the week. Monday and Friday are remote-work days for me, which gives me extra flexibility and more time at home with your pup. Tuesday through Thursday, I’m able to come home as often as needed depending on your pet’s routine and care needs. I’m happy to work with you to keep your dog’s normal schedule as consistent and comfortable as possible. I’m also available for weekend boarding, so your pup can enjoy a cozy, loving home environment while you’re away. 🐶❤️ My goal is to make pet care fit seamlessly into your dog’s routine—not disrupt it! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I have a clean, comfortable, minimalist home with no current pets, giving your pup a calm environment where they can enjoy plenty of attention and feel right at home. My fenced backyard is park-like, providing a beautiful, secure space for outdoor play, exploring, and relaxing. I’m also situated right next to a park with easy access, making it convenient to enjoy longer walks, fresh air, and plenty of outdoor time. Before any stay, I’m happy to arrange a meet & greet so you and your pup can get comfortable with me, see the space, and make sure it feels like the right fit. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that feels as close to home as possible. Most importantly, I understand how much trust it takes to leave your fur baby with someone else. I’ll treat your dog like family, with patience, love, attention, and lots of tail-wagging moments. ❤️🐶

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ellensburg is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $32 and $60 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 92 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ellensburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
100% of sitters in Ellensburg can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
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.
