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 have house sat since I could drive. I adore dogs, and all animals for that matter. I have trained both my dogs and miss them dearly since being at college. If you’d like someone to baby your dog, i’m your gal!! I currently don’t work and I can spend almost all day at your house with your baby. I have school from 8am- 11am weekdays but am free after that! I also am big on walking and recently got into running. I don’t have a place to keep a dog at my house but I am always down to stay and take care of any size dog at your house. I also am an avid walker

About: Growing up we had dogs that I took running and on long walks. I have had personally referred housesits for decades, ranging in types of dogs/pets. I am currently transitioning from a long term employment to a project based/contract job base and traveling full time. My schedule is variable and flexible. I am also transitioning 25+ years of word-of-mouth house-sitting into online platforms while traveling full time. I look forward to connecting! I make sure the dogs are safe, well cared for, played with and caring for their physical needs through following described feeding and water schedule and administering any medications in owners instructions.

About: Hello! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. For every dog sitting and walking adventure I offer, your pup is treated just like one of my own! Living in the beautiful Cascade mountains there are many fun walking and hiking opportunities I can offer. Being an active outdoor enthusiast I can take on the most ambitious of fur friends! I am able to visit your permanent or vacation home and administer any special food/medication needs multiple times a days if necessary. If there is specific training you are working on I am more than able to stay consistent with their needs. I have shown in obedience, agility and showmanship and have attended numerous obedience classes. I am a firm believer of positive reinforcement/encouragement types of training. Whatever level of experience your dog is at, I can accommodate. Willingness to clean up any messes/accidents your pup may have. (Cleaning supplies not included) I have bred and raised puppies, so any puppies are more than welcome. I personally have two dogs at the moment, a 3 year old Pitbull and a very exuberant 5 year old Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix. My past pups were Yorkshire Terriers, a German Shephard, Pit Bull and a Dalmatian. The range of dog attitudes I've handled makes me the perfect fit for any of your fur babies! I recently have become a cat mom as well. Two years with our current indoor cat and lots of experience feeding out outdoor barn cats/kittens. If you happen to live on a farm, I also have tons of experience with raising goats and chickens as I have my own. I look forward to your meeting you and your animals companions!

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: 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.

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.

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: 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: 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.

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!

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 August 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 August 2026, there are 317 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.
