“Rachel has been awesome! She is reliable and it has been very comforting knowing our puppy is in experienced capable hands. She also is a good communicator about pertinent updates during the drop ins. Definitely recommend!”
“Tobi was able to accommodate my drop in sitting needs on very short notice, and she did an excellent job. One of my dogs is a bit slow with developing comfort with strangers, so it was nice to get progress reports and photos following each visit! Additionally, there was a maintenance issue with my house which needed immediate attention and Tobi quickly notified me so that I could arrange for someone to come and take care of it. I recommend Tobi and will plan to use her services again!”
“Erika did a great job with our 7 cats! We have two seniors and three that need daily meds, including insulin, and Erika handled it all with ease. We also have a cat who is terrified of everyone, but she let Erika pet het! AMAZING! The cats were happy when we came home, which makes us happy!”
“Alyssa has watched out kittens a couple times and is always phenomenal. Her communication is top notch and she takes such good care of the kittens while we’re away. They’re always happy to see her. She’s always our top choice when we are away.”
“Kyle is such a great sitter! He always sends the best action shots of our cat playing and cuddling. We had a lot of packages arriving this last trip; he was so kind as to stop by to put a large one inside the day before our booking with him officially began, just because we had already left to head out of town. Thank you so much Kyle!!”
“I am a returning client and I will be back! Juli was prompt and accommodating with my last minute booking. The cats were happy and playful! I looked forward to the rover cards each day.”
“Theo took such great care of my oldgirl kitty that when I got home, she was curled up in deep sleep. I rarely am away overnight. Miss Tippi is an anxious tiny. To see her well fed and relaxed put me at ease. I would highly recommend him!”
“Elizabeth was so great and easy to work with! Her Rover cards were the most detailed I’ve ever received, and she really made sure to spend time with our kitty to give her sime playtime and snuggles. I would definitely recommend hiring her, and would love the opportunity to hire her again another time!”
“10/10 would recommend & rebook. Megan was really great with our fur babies as well as keeping us informed while we were away. We forgot to leave the TV on for our pets and she remembered our conversation during our initial meeting, and turned on the TV for them. The peace of mind and care she provided was everything we could have asked for.”
“Emily was wonderful with our cats! She sent a note and pictures everyday for us. I would highly recommend her and will definitely hire her again when we need to be gone.”
“Win is awesome, seriously. She was super flexible and so accommodating of our last-minute request. Our initial meet and greet made me feel at ease immediately because of how thorough and friendly she was. I enjoyed her reports and the photos so much. Our dog, Milo has some separation anxiety and can be a little destructive but her quick response to my texts were so helpful and made me feel less anxious about leaving him. Milo absolutely loved her and I’ll definitely be booking with her again! Thanks so much, Win!!!”
“Very diligently took notes during the initial home walkthrough, very communicative during each of her visits with the kitties. Overall, a stellar pet-sitting experience and will absolutely be booking her in the future.”
“Highly recommend Carrie if you need a cat sitter! Carrie did check-ins for my senior cat while we were away for 7 days during Thanksgiving week. I was a bit nervous, as I've never had to leave my cat alone for that long before. The meet-and-greet with Carrie alleviated all my worries! She was wonderful with our cat, and gave him so much love, attention, and play time while we were away. Her update reports were always detailed and lovely to read, and she sent tons of great photos with each report. Everything was clean when we returned home (cat box empty/clean, litter swept off the floor). Carrie was always on time for meet-ups, check-ins, key exchanges etc, and is the perfect person to have check-in on your pet! :) I'll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need someone to check on our cat!”
About: I’ve always been the one my family calls to take care of their pets, ever since I was little. I’m currently shadowing at a veterinary clinic and am working toward becoming a veterinarian. I have a huge passion for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll go above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s going on long walks, playing their favorite games, sticking to their routine, or giving them extra cuddles, I’m committed to providing the best care possible. I know how much pets mean to their families, and I’ll care for yours with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. I’m currently interning at a vet clinic part-time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I have a lot of free time on my hands so your pets will be my number one priority throughout the day. I care for pets by sticking to their normal routine as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away. I’ve fostered animals before and can easily adjust to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I’ve worked with animals in many different situations and feel confident handling whatever comes up. I’ll always treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved until you’re home again.
About: I moved from Mi to Wa in 2015 and decided in 2018 to be a dog walker. That was in King county and after moving to a house in 2021, dog boarding turned into my new side job. Last year I also enrolled in Victoria Stilwell’s Academy for positive training. So I am very aware of dog’s body language and needs. I absolutely love dogs and they are truly my life now but when I was 8 that wasn’t the case. I was bit in the face by a family friend’s dog. He was old and on medication, I startled him awake which led to him biting me. From this incident, I watched Victoria Stilwell on animal planet to get over my fear of bigger dogs and here I am today with a certification in dog training and starting my career with human’s best friend. My goal is for you and your dog to be as comfortable as possible. I only treat dogs/pets as I would want someone to treat mine (and believe me I am a high maintenance pet mom 😉) Dogs are my job. Whether it is boarding, sitting, or walking; this is what I do full time. Sometimes I do Instacart to get out a bit but will do that when my boyfriend is home. I am starting up my bath bomb business again so to have a companion working alongside with me is my ideal work day. My boyfriend works from home majority of the time, so there is always someone home. His kids do come over 50% of the week and are very kind and helpful with dogs that are boarding with me. They are 12 and 11 so they aren’t little kids. I have lick mats, Kong Gyro, and plenty of space for your dog to have fun at my house. My house is fenced in, we are updating the property all the time to make sure it is safe as possible. For larger dogs, I have a bell on a ziptie to put on your dog’s collar just so I can hear where they are at all times when I am outside with them. For smaller pups, I always go outside with them due to being in an open area so they are safe. I also have a 30’ leash that I can hook them to for extra safety. Inside, I make them as comfortable as possible. Whatever they like at home I try my best to provide at my house.
“Lydia watched both my cat and dog over a holiday weekend. Great communication, sent me pictures every day. Very thankful to have someone look after them while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Audrey was wonderful with my senior dog! He is picky with the people he likes but Audrey was warm and confident and patient and he was so happy! I am so grateful for Audrey’s flexible and positive help.”

Elizabeth was so great and easy to work with! Her Rover cards were the most detailed I’ve ever received, and she really made sure to spend time with our kitty to give her sime playtime and snuggles. I would definitely recommend hiring her, and would love the opportunity to hire her again another time!
Holly took care my 2 cats for 5 days and she was great! It was obvious right away that she has a love for animals and she was great with my girls, going above and beyond to make sure their needs were met. She also sends pictures and an overview of her visits each time, and is responsive to my questions . I will definitely book Holy in the future!
Kyle is such a great sitter! He always sends the best action shots of our cat playing and cuddling. We had a lot of packages arriving this last trip; he was so kind as to stop by to put a large one inside the day before our booking with him officially began, just because we had already left to head out of town. Thank you so much Kyle!!
Danielle was absolutely amazing. Leaving my cats for 7 days during the holidays is no easy task. I quickly realized I had left my cats in good hands, she was communicative, kind and amazing with our cats showing true love to each of them. I won’t be looking anywhere else the next time I need a cat sitter.
I cannot recommend Jacquelyn highly enough! Leaving our three cats—each with their own unique quirks—is never easy, but Jacquelyn made our time away completely stress-free. The daily photos were fantastic and gave us such peace of mind. She clearly understood and catered to each cat's individual needs. We came home to a clean liter box and three happy, relaxed felines. We'll definitely be rebooking!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ruston on Rover is $24.42 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 Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 5,911 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ruston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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. 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 cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ruston. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
