About: I have lived in multi-pet households for over ten years (although pet-less at the moment due to lease rules) often taking the lead on care and attention needs! I love energy matching pets while also being attentive to their health and welfare needs. I am the go-to sitter in my group, often day-sitting or stay-over care every 1-2 months. I have very open availability right now and can flex to meet your needs! Let me know what works best for you and your pet! While caring for animals, I find you need to fine-tune your care to the individual. Some pets love to play and will fetch a ball for hours if you keep throwing. Some pets need oversight while eating so they feel comfortable, while some would eat the whole house if left alone! I also have experience with pets with health conditions and special needs, as a long term dog I often care for has a seizure condition. Let me know your pets specific needs and I will make it happen.
“I'm so happy I found Lauren to take care of my dog Muli. I feel totally confident that he is safe with her and that he's getting a lot of energy out. Lauren is very easy to work with and has a lot of love to give your pup!”

“This was our first experience with any dog walker or somebody new after 5 years. I was very nervous because Jomo is a reactive dog so it took us a while to make the decision to allow somebody else to take him out on walks. Austyn really made me feel at ease every single time! We had a meet and greet at the park where Jomo walks which really made me feel comfortable and feel assured Jomo and other dogs would be safe. So glad to know my pup was in good hands. Thank you Austyn!”

About: I have been a cat-owner and dog-owner since I was about 5 years old. Additionally, I have help to care for others pets, from family to friends to community members. I am quick to learning a pets' habits and preferences, doing whatever makes them and their parents most comfortable. I've helped care for puppies that are still in training, old dogs with younger siblings who have varying energies, and cats who need daily medicine and attentive care. I am happy to help with any pet care needed if given time to fully understand a pet's needs and if the furry friend is comfortable with me to do so. While I work full-time, my work schedule is flexible to fit to your and your pets' needs. I am fully available on weekends, unless otherwise stated. And I am happy to do early morning or late evening check-ins or walks if needed. I am an attentive pet-owner who likes to stick to a schedule for both my and my pets' benefit. My priority goes into making sure my pets are taken care of before taking care of myself, and keeping a consistent care and grooming schedule. That care is given ten-fold when I am looking over another person's furry baby. I adjust my schedule and routine to pets' needs, and provide daily or weekly reports to the parents so they are put at ease of their pets' safety and comfort.
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 have been a pet/ house sitter for many years. I have worked at many farms and in animal shelters. I am a student in a Veterinary Technician Program. I have a very flexible schedule. Being an online student I can do my classes anytime and any place. I am open for whatever times you need for as long as you need. I am very compassionate to animals and love them all no matter what. I will adhere to any things that your pet needs. If they need pills I can do that or frequent checks I can work that into my schedule.

About: I’ve taken care of many dogs and pets for friends, family and neighbors! Including dogs, cats, guinea pigs and birds. My own bulldog, Brodie will always be my favorite though! I’ve cared for all ages of dogs, from young pups who need a lot of check ins to senior dogs who may need more patience and dietary requirements to anxious dogs who worry when their loved ones are gone. All are loved and all end up in my camera roll! (I won’t bother you if you want but I love to send pics to check in!) I currently work part time as a barista and am enrolled at CWU, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I miss my pets so much back home so I am so excited to get to care for yours! I walk shelter dogs every Friday and currently that is where I am getting my pet fix but I can always use more companion time! I keep pets safe by making sure when I enter or leave that doors and windows are closed up and if we go outside it in a fenced area or we are walking with a leash. This ensures no accidental excitements that end up in a lost pet. I can easily crate your pet if that is your preference!
About: Hello everyone, my name is Anna, and I have had many pets my whole life but now don’t have any of my own and want to get into part time work as a petsitter! I love spending time with furry friends, as well as helping people find the care that they need to live their lives freely. I have worked with animal rescues and done lots of housesitting/pet sitting over the years, so I have great references and would love to get in contact with you about your needs! I have experience with animals with special needs, administering medication, transportation, socialization, and training. I am comfortable with all sizes, ages, and personalities! I do a lot of part time freelance work, as I love to travel and set my own schedule. I am openly available all days of the week except for Thursday evenings. I am a very hands-on and attentive caregiver, and I also love to be active, so I can provide exercise and stimulation for pets that needs it, or am down to just spend quality time with pets who are more laid back!
About: I recently lost my senior dog at 15 years old. I’m looking to provide that same love, patient, routined care to others pets. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to focus on the care your pet needs. I have experience in specialized diets, medications, and mobility support. I also love to walk and would be happy to take your pet for sniffaris. My current full time job is remote work, allowing me plenty of flexibility, particularly if your pet stays in my home. If need be I can also work from others homes, if pets prefer to stay in their home. I live on the second floor of a quiet fourplex, my apartment is accessed via 14 steps on the outside of my building. I care for pets by bringing them on neighborhood walks, and live across the street from a park.

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 been dog sitting for four years now for family and friends- very kind and courteous to dogs of all ages and needs that come with them! I am currently on summer break from college and looking for some extra side work. Please reach out I would love to get to play with some animals on my free time. While caring for your pets on walks or in your home I give my full attention to ensure the safety of your beloved pets during that time.
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!
“Susan is like family to me, I am so glad I am able to trust my pets with her! She is amazing and I will always book with her when she is available! She is great with my high energy dogs, and my cats adore her!”

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!

Ellensburg dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kailei did great with the dogs and helped us out in a pinch. She spent the full walk time with them (even when they resisted the leash walk or didn’t play fetch as they sometimes do) she still spent the full time letting them be outside in the yard which is the most important thing for us— that they get that much needed outside time when we have to work all day. She follows instructions well— and we appreciated the photos of our happy pups when we’re stuck at work.
