“Lauren did a house visit for my pups and they absolutely loved her! She was able to help us out on short notice too which we appreciate so much. She is so sweet, we will definitely book with Lauren again!”
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 taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I trained my dog who is now 9. I love taking care of dogs. I take care of my neighbors dogs frequently, especially during holiday weekends. I currently work full-time but am looking for a side-job to make some extra money. Plus, I love animals so its a win win. Unfortunately I am not allowed to board dogs at my place since I'm renting. However, I would love to dog sit for you or do visits.
About: I absolutely love animals and would prefer their company over humans any day well except for my children. Hmm okay okay you got me there on some days would I definitely prefer their company to my kids lol, but they are the second-best if not tied for first for the company one can keep. I have been surrounded by animals of all kinds my entire life. I don't remember a time when we or I didn't own at least one animal. To me life doesn't exists without a fur baby of some kind. Most of the time knowledge comes from first hand experience and that I have plenty of, matter of a fact I would dare to say at least 25 years of experience of being around and caring for animals. From house pets to farm animals and your occasional lost and or injured wild animal. I am comfortable with all care that is required or might be required in a pets daily care. If it's not something I am familiar with or if there is something that is required that I have not had experience with, I am a great listener and quick and eager to learn something new there is never to much knowledge one can obtain. How does pet care fit into my daily and weekly routine? Well for me my pet's have always and will always be treated as family. They are a family member if you know you know. So they are just another kid i am taking care of, raising and loving on a daily basis. Only they don't have thumbs so they won't be learning to clean up their own mess in time, however you can forget what color of bowl to give them and they will not be throwing a fit for 30 minutes even if your correct your mistake :) and they have a love that last and is unconditional until their last breath. When you make the commitment to get a pet their care doesn't fit into your daily routine it becomes part of your daily routine that's all there is to it. So i don't know how to explain to you how my pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine because it is simply part of it. I will care for the pets in your home just as I would in my home and or as you the client does in your home on a daily basis or however you desired. Nothing would differ from the way their regular day to day goes, besides maybe some extra loving, treats and play time. But the whole goal and job is to keep them in their home a place they are safe and familiar with while you their owner is away. To keep them stress free and ultimately for it to go unnoticed that you are even away. So unless stated otherwise beforehand by yourself I would plan my day's accordingly to how you live and cares for their pets.
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: FOR WEEKDAY AVAILABILITY, PLEASE CONTACT ME FIRST. Rover doesn't let me specify hours very specifically. I've been around animals my whole life, growing up in rural Iowa. From bottle-feeding calves to caring for a tripod cat, I have a wide range of experiences! I'm a proud pet-mom to my own three-legged cat, and know what pet owners want in the care of their animals. Dogs and cats will be in great hands with me! I'm available any time on weekends and have more limited weekday availability. I'm willing to take your dog on long walks or to the dog park to play! I'm a college graduate and I spent the past four years working as a tutor on campus. I've been certified as a tutor and have mutliple health and workplace certifications. I've undergone an extensive background check for education in the past I've worked with many different animals as a hobbyist. Finding ways to be closer to animals is one of my favorite ways to spend my time! I work full-time, so my availability is most expansive on weekends, but getting outside on a walk with a dog is a great way to start or end my weekdays around work as well! In my own home, I'm an apartment dweller. My cat is a little higher-need than some others, having only three legs, so my apartment is sort of filled with cat trees and perches to encourage her to exercise and give her safe, stable places to stand.
About: As for most of us, we’ve had animals grow up with us. They were there when it was our first steps as babies or at our prom night. These things aren’t what makes a pet, but what makes them family. The love and respect to these furry babies is something that will forever be in our hearts I work morning to afternoon, throughout the evening or early morning and over nights I am available to give love and care to your pets I believe respect and communication are an essential care for your pet. Reliable and very open minded and willing to help out in any way I can
About: I have experience with all ages of all animals! I have experience with special needs and diets, and am willing to follow specific guidelines for your pet. I also have experience administering medications. My goal is to make sure your best friend is taken care and well loved! I am a college student working part time, so I am available early mornings, and late nights! Flexibility is a key factor of my schedule and will allow me to help you. For dogs, I have a park right outside my apartment, and many trails around apartment complex. For cats, I have toys, a cat tree, and other high spaces for them to be themselves.
“Ashton did an amazing job taking care of our 2 fur babies! She was very attentive, caring, and sweet. It's a huge relief to know we have someone reliable who treats our dogs like they were her own when we are out of town. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ellensburg
I’ve used many sitters in Ellensburg and have probably had 2 or 3 really exceptional sitters— Austyn is definitly one of those. Bright, sweet, competent, and offers excellent communication. I love the photos she takes and the notes she leaves— they always make me smile. And it’s clear the dogs adore her too. Thank you for taking such good care of our babes!
Susan did a terrific job caring for my older cat Tink while I was away for a week! I appreciated her daily check-ins and pics of Tink, and felt confident that she was being well cared for. I will absolutely reach out to Susan again for pet sitting, and recommend her wholeheartedly!
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!
Ruby watched our girl Luna while we were away for a work trip. She made Luna feel very comfortable, and my husband and I were relieved knowing our girl was being watched by an incredibly trustworthy person. Ruby also brought in packages for us and notified us where she left them in our place. We highly recommend Ruby and will be having her pet sit for us again!

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. 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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
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.
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.
