“You could tell immediately that Jen and her husband are genuine animal lovers. They both were very welcoming and seemed quite knowledgeable and experienced taking care of dogs (and horses). We experienced car problems on the way to their house and Jen was very understanding about our later than expected arrival. My dog, Noli, had a great time while in their care. They even let her sleep in bed with them even though she isn’t the easiet dog to share a bed with! When it was time for her to go home she jumped on the couch and refused to leave! It took some coaxing to get her off and headed out the door. I definitely will use them again next time I’m in the Yakima area. Thanks Jen!”
About: I have cared for mostly pit bull type dogs and unwanted other dogs (seniors, chewers)- I have a lot of care and patience for animals of all kinds. I have a full time job during the week but am available weekends and some holidays if you want to go out of town. I usually feel a little guilty leaving my dogs behind while I go camping but many federal lands don’t accept dogs, even on a leash. Just know they will be cared for and played with at my house. I usually get out once a day to go to the parks with my dogs so I would love to take yours too! I feed my dogs a special dinner nightly and in the morning. They have a doggy door they go in and out of to a large fenced back yard. They are allowed on the furniture and are walked to run off leash in a park on a daily basis.
About: I've taken care of the family dogs for as long as I've been conscious enough to and have further sat for family friends and other relatives. I have trained my own puppy (he's almost 3 now), have some experience with administering medication (oral and topical), and have looked after senior dogs in various stages of their old age. I have owned and cared for dogs of various sizes from tiny chihuahuas to larger than average rottweiler mixes and handled many different temperaments. I currently do not have a job, so I am able to spend as long as necessary with your pet. I am free all day on most weekends for things like check ins or walks, but on weekdays I can only do boarding or daycare (as I also lack a car). I have a fully fenced in yard and two friendly (medium to large) dogs to play with (my poodle and my father's Rottweiler). I also have access to a kennel/crate if needed, but my sister's dog broke it, so it's more for dogs that are already crate trained and won't avidly try to get out or dogs that don't need fully kenneled and just need their own space.
“Maria made everything so easy, flexible with drop off and pick up timings! She sent us constant updates and pictures and Teddy sure made lot of friends during this stay!! We will definitely book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since 12 years old I’ve also taken care of guinea pigs. I know a lot of animal facts aswell and I wanna become a veterinarian one day. I can either work part time or full time I can reflex my time to meet up with your expectations too so that wont be a problem I can from 7-9 pm in week days and less days in weekends such as Saturday and Sunday. My yard is fenced up and have a big yard. Your fur baby’s will be provided with stuff they need as well too or I can bring there stuff over at my house for more comfort. I know a few tricks to teach as-well such as ,paw , down and roll over.
About: Hello! My name is Taylor and I have always been a huge animal lover. Growing up we always had many pets, and I would often spend my weekends and holidays sitting for friends and family. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and life stages, and especially with blind and deaf dogs. I have a 6 year old Golden of my own who adores other dogs and cats, and tennis balls of course. I work from home and recognize that others may not have this option, so I wanted to open up my home to provide a caring space for other pet owners when needed. I have a fenced in back yard but take my girl out often throughout the day to one of the many parks that are very closeby. Working remotely means I am also flexible in my hours and am able to offer walks and drop ins as needed, always giving each pet as much attention as I can. I treat every animal as I would my own and understand how difficult it can be to be away from them. Feel free to reach out with any questions you may have. Looking forward to meeting you and your four-legged friend soon! Weekends work best, but can entertain on weekdays. Can have up to two more pets to continue the same exercise/play schedule I have for my own pet. I have a laid back dog. I will be around in the mornings and evenings to feed, play and clean up after. With permission, I would love to take your fur baby on walks, hikes, or to the dog park to get some energy out and for mental stimulation.
“Vanessa and her husband are top notch! Took really good care of my dog. Kept me updated with pictures and messages. Treated him with some fun activities. Overall I am very happy with their service. Highly recommended. Thank you!!!!”
“My doggo had a great stay with Luckie. She kept me very updated and sent me lots of pictures of my pup. My dog looked very comfortable and happy! For my first time using Rover I am very glad it was with Luckie, she made this for experience a breeze. Very thankful for her taking candy on last minute notice!”
“Olivia and her pet crew offered a perfect stay for our dog. He had fun playing and being silly with her pets and that was a perfect fit. The best part was that Olivia is only 30 min to the Gorge and they do not allow dogs at the campsite. So we were able to have our dog on our long road trip with very little inconvenience. Thanks Olivia!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ellensburg
Kayla was absolutely amazing! This was the very first time we had ever left our pets with someone else, so we were understandably nervous. From the moment we met her, she put our minds at ease with her kindness and genuine love for animals. She gave our dog so much love and attention, took her on multiple walks every day, and treated her like she was part of her own family. Kayla also sent us pictures and updates every day, which meant so much to us, and she always responded quickly whenever I had a question or concern. When we picked up our dog, it was obvious she had been well cared for and loved. We truly could not have found a better person to care for the canine member of our family. I recommend Kayla without hesitation and would trust her with our pets again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Kayla, for making our first Rover experience such a wonderful one! Hugs from Joan, Mickey, and Joy
Shelly is absolutely fantastic! We left our French Bulldog, Remi in her care for over a week. She was kind, considerate, and very loving. It was beyond clear that she appreciates animals, and Remi was treated exceptionally well. Communication was super easy. Shelly provided many updates and followed our care instructions perfectly. I would recommend her without hesitation, and will definitely be reaching out to her again in the near future.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Ellensburg on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 91 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Ellensburg. About 95% of Ellensburg sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 pet, 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
