About: I have been surrounded by animals for my entire life. I got my first puppy when I was 5 years old and since then I have been in love with dogs. I am very organized, flexible, caring, punctual and easy going person. I would appreciate knowing what your pets standard, daily routine looks like. I am comfortable with any medication your furry baby might need. Let me take care of your friend and we will have the best time :) I have a lot of free time and I like being outside. Hanging out with furry friends in the park it’s something that I enjoy the most. I offer 4-5 walks a day. Depends on the age of your dog and need of course. I like taking dogs for a long walk.

Did a great job taking care of all my pets while I was on vacation. I was worried about how my cats would react but they were obviously very well loved while I was gone and were happy and healthy on my return. Lou was also great with communication and always sent great updates!

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’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 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.

I am open to visits before services to confirm that your dog and I will get along.

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.

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!

Grace is the best. Punctual, vigilant, communicative. Really helped us out in a pinch a couple of times. My dogs love her. She handles them well even though they can be little stinkers sometimes. Will definitely have her back.

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Ellensburg

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Ellensburg on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 310 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Ellensburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ellensburg stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ellensburg choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 dog, 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.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Ellensburg with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ellensburg. On Rover:

  • 96% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

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.
