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 have taken care of and loved animals since I was a kid. I lived on a farm with lots of animal care responsibilities and have house sat for family’s with animals (mostly dogs and cats) since I was teenager. I love spending time with animals and making sure they are getting the love and attention they need! My schedule is normally very flexible. I am able to drop in visit, overnight sit at a residence, or spend daily time with your pet! Since I reside in an apartment complex, I am able to offer day time or over night care at the clients residence. I am happy to take your pet for car rides to the dog park or on a nature walk as well!

About: I've got experience both cat and dog-sitting and have two cats myself! I used to watch and care for my family dog for full days all the time I'm currently working part-time, so my schedule can change around, but when it comes to pet sitting I'll make time for your special animal friends I will do my best to help accommodate any clients' special needs and make sure that their animals are cared for in exactly the manner they deem necessary
About: I have previously taken care of dogs with special-needs and believe it’s a labor of love! This experience has opened my eyes to the world of pet care and how this can mean different needs for different pets! My hours are subject to change, if you want to ask about a specific time please message me! I am more available than what it says I am. I am currently a student and love to be active while I’m not in the classroom! I have enjoyed helping families in the area when their workdays occupied potty-break time! I live just a short walk from the park where there are often children and other dogs! If your dog is shy, there are plenty of parks and I am happy to accommodate for solo walks!
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, from family pets to farm animals. I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes as well as horses, cattle and other livestock. Because of this, I’m comfortable with animals that have different temperament, routines, and needs. Whether it’s going on walks, providing playtime, or just keeping pets company, I bring patience, responsibility, and a genuine love for animals to every job. I recently graduated from CWU and have lots of free time. I have time during the weekdays and weekends to watch your fur babies and provide a fun and positive environment for them! My job is to make sure your fur babies are well taken care of and happy and I'm glad to follow any kind of care instructions you provide!
About: I've always had dogs, but many other animals too. I'm a science teacher, and fully believe you get what you give. My dogs are treated very well, given lots of love and they give it back. They're happy and healthy. It's a win- win! 👌🏻 I can come to your home to dog-sit. I can do drop-ins, medication, most nights. Whatever you put on a list for your dogs will be followed carefully. I will not sit at my home. It's my dog's home (territory) and it's not fair to bring another dog into it unless it's necessary.
About: I have been a pet owner for about 3 years now. When I was younger I would care for others pets and enjoy spending time with the strays that lived on my street. I enjoy going on walks, hikes and taking naps according to my own doggos they believe I keep them active, safe and well fed. As I am a work from home dog momma, I have the time and availability to keep your pets company when you cannot. I believe all pets need to be treated with respect and will offer them all the love they need. On top of that my doggos would love to make more doggo friends. I currently work from home. I am available at all times and adjust my schedule to yours. I like to go on walks in the morning, afternoon and night time. When it is the first time to work with a dog I am not familiar with I always keep them on a leash when taking them out to potty in non fenced areas. When going on walks I like to go to places where dogs can run around freely and safely.
About: I offer extensive, lifelong experience in animal care, developed while growing up on a working farm. This background instilled in me a deep sense of responsibility and a strong foundation in proper animal care. My hands-on experience spans a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, chickens, and guinea pigs. I’m a college student but on break for the summer so I have a lot of time to work. Animals have been apart of my everyday routine for years so, I’m used to the responsibility pets take. Pets just like anyone else need a safe environment. Since I grew up in a pet friendly house I’ve been more aware of the hazards that can occur.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 12, and people have hired me to house sit with their pets. I love all animals, and have experience with pets from 8 weeks old to senior pets! I work part time in the cle elum area, and am looking at working full time soon. I would love to stay busy with pets as a job as well, as I love animals! I keep to feeding schedules and have worked with animals that needed medications, and I follow house rules strictly. When walking I always keep animals on leashes, and I make sure animals are indoors when they are supposed to be.
About: Hi! I have grown up around cats and dogs my whole life and have one cat of my own. I am experienced in pet sitting for several families with multiple dogs and cats over the years. I have also cared for cats with special needs, a dog with diabetes requiring daily insulin injections, and wound care for pets. I am willing to do other household tasks upon request such as watering plants/gardens, light housework, etc. I have a flexible hybrid full time work schedule that allows me to work from home as needed. This lets me drop in as needed to care for your pets. I am also available for overnight stays if needed. I have cared for pets in many different home environments. I can take pets on long walks as needed or let them exercise in your yard if permitted. Care will be specialized to your pets needs.
About: Pet Experience Summary With over 10 years of experience working with dogs from various backgrounds, I bring extensive knowledge and genuine passion to pet care. My background includes fostering rescue dogs, volunteering at a local rescue animal clinic, and dog training experience that helps me understand canine behavior and communication. I've completed animal first aid certification and have extensive experience caring for medically needy animals, giving me the skills to handle pets with special requirements or health conditions. When you trust me with your beloved pet, you can be confident they'll receive safe, attentive care and be treated with the same love I'd give my own animals. Im currently working a very flexible job that lets me choose my schedule. I work remotely and I have home cameras to watch if Im gone. I also have a roommate who helps me with animal care of needed if I was away. Animals are never left alone and will always have a human around to ensure proper care and your pet is well taken cared for. I have a 6ft fenced yard. Main fences have extra anti escape proof fencing that wont allow a dog to jump over fence. Cameras around the home up front, side and back yard that are recoding 24/7. Trusting neighbors that watch over the neighborhood. Cameras inside and outside of home.

“Melissa came to let out our 10 week old puppy and did an amazing job. She gave updates after each visit and sent a picture of the dog. She came on time and was very dependable. We will certainly use Melissa again to watch out dog when we can not be home to let her out to use the bathroom.”

Ellensburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Victoria was great! Attentive, communicative, timely, and most importantly she gave the dogs really good quality outside time— threw a ball for Vesa and tried to engage juni (who probably just wanted to get out of the cold since hunting wasn’t on the table)— the dogs look happy. We appreciate you!
