“Floki absolutely loves staying with Andrea! The biggest sign is that when we pull into her driveway, he runs straight to the door with excitement. It gives me such peace of mind knowing he’s happy, safe, and well cared for while I’m away. She recently watched him for the weekend, and I know he was loved and treated like family. I highly recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy dog sitter!”
“Lesly and her husband were great! They were flexible for pick-up and drop-off, and it sounded/looked like my guy had a great time during his stay. When we left, their daughter said goodbye to "Gussie" because he's a similar mix to their dog - or maybe all dogs are "Gussie". :) We've already booked another stay in August and are looking forward to it!”
“Rose and her partner are wonderful! I am so glad I booked with them. They treat your dog with such kindness and love. Everything they do is down with care and love. Lots of updates and photos while you are gone. 5+ stars!!!”
“Vicki was wonderful! My dog Bob had a wonderful time with her and Jeff and, of course, their two dogs. I am sure he especially enjoyed having a backyard again to roam in and explore. I recommend her enthusiastically!”
“Michelle and Sam are WONDERFUL!! Our dog Cookie is always SO excited to see them and to be with their dogs as well. Loving, wonderful, kind, AMAZING! Thank you both.”
“Kaitlin and her husband Nathan took excellent care of my little dog Molly. This is the first time I left her alone with someone else, for over a couple weeks. They helped Molly transition from having a minor separation anxiety, to become fully comfortable by the end of the stay. They cared for her like their own dog. Kaitlin sent photo updates every few days. I recommend Kaitlin, and would book with her again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! They can be pretty rambunctious and full of energy, but they were handled with patience, kindness, and confidence. I came home to two happy (and tired) dogs and it was clear they had been treated like family. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. I’ll absolutely be booking with them again!”
“Jennifer was phenomenal with Henry!! We got daily updates of him playing with Champ, and he looked so happy to be snuggled up on her couch. Jennifer even printed out cute photos of Henry with his doggie report card - she went above and beyond and Henry can’t wait to see her again”
“Kobe had a great stay with Lelia! She was great at communicating what they were up to, how he was behaving and sending us daily photos! We will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Melody did great job talking care Max . She sanded me pictures and write the notes about the Max and how he loves to cuddle with her and follow her around. Melody is very nice and she loves being taken care of Max . I’m really appreciate her.”
“Darcia, Thank you for the great care of our family member, Boba! We’re glad Boba had a good time with your dog. Your calm and reassuring attitude really helped us know that Boba was in good hands. Thank you again! Andy”
“We had an amazing experience with Miranda and her family! Our dog was so well cared for, and they took the time that was necessary to let her adjust slowly. We have already rebooked for a trip planned later in the year! Excellent experience!”
“This was our first time using Rover and we could rave on and on about Luisa. We used her while we were out of town for 5 days. She was very communicative, friendly, sent us tons of pictures and videos and treated our dog Stitch like one of her own including taking her to the park. When we picked Stitch up she gave us some key emergency docs that are recommended to have (she's pet CPR certified) and then she checked in with us later to make sure Stitch was adjusting back home ok. She is a natural pet lover and a wonderful person. Definitely found Stitch's new home away from home!”
“Great experience boarding my dog w Larissa for 3 nights. Leaving your dog with someone new can be stressful, but she made the whole process so easy and reassuring. Communication was great the entire time & I really appreciated the daily updates/photos while I was away. My dog can be pretty independent & likes doing his own thing & she really seemed to understand his personality & made him feel comfortable. When he was picked up, he was relaxed, happy & clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust Larissa again in the future & I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter.”
“Gisella was amazing at responding to my last minute message to watch my Frenchy Mochi. She did an amazing job updating me throughout my shift his activities and with any questions she had. She also sent lovely photos. I would use Gisella again. 😊”
About: I’ve been a pet owner for over 14 years. I’ve studied dog training for 3 years and would love to watch your animal! I am trustworthy and can make sure your pets needs are met. I work at home and school. If I’m gone during the day, it is only a few hours at a time and I’m always home at night. I have a fully fenced yard, we go for walks daily and have enrichment activities during the day like play and brain games/puzzles. If your pet needs extra attention or care, I am able to provide that as well.
“Jerry took great care of both of our dogs. He was considerate to their needs and sent us photos daily. We loved that he provided them a loving spot to stay and toys to play with.”
“Oh my do we love our new grandma Maggie!! I have 2 doxies, one is super nervous, the other had back surgery just under a year ago but they both took to her wonderfully! Maggie sent me pictures and videos to keep me updated while they were there. She was ok with their regime of food which I'm super picky with what they eat. Both dogs seemed happy when I got back from a 3 night 4 day trip and I knew they had a great stay!! I'm so happy and relieved that I found someone who would care for my pets as would!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ruston
Mandy & Greg were awesome with our dog! They were quick and easy to schedule and communicate with which I appreciated. You can tell they really love dogs and do this with a lot of care! We also received many photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while away from our dog. Our dog is anxious and somewhat reactive and they were very attentive to that and handled him with care. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a sitter!
Jennifer Took care of Ella my little Poodle. Two days before i was to leave for my Granddaughter's Wedding in Hawaii Ella had an Injury to her back. Jennifer who is very experienced with dogs said don't worry go to the wedding. Ella required much care two different medicines. Ella needed to stay quiet and as still as possible. Jennifer trained her to use stairs. Follow the instructions I gave her. Her whole family helped in taking care of Ella. Ella was feeling much better when i picked her up. What more could you ask for in a sitter. I recommend highly Jennifer and family for care of your special pet.
Miranda did a wonderful job watching my dog, Moose, for a 2 week long vacation. I trusted her to take good care of him and based on the photos she sent, it seems like he had an enjoyable time with her dog, Fynn. She was communicative the entire time and accommodating when I needed to extend my trip by 2 days. I would recommend her as a sitter!
Absolutely outstanding dog sitter! Reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. Communication was excellent, and our dog was happy, relaxed, and well cared for when we returned. I especially loved receiving the happy photos of Gunner while we were away. We felt completely at ease knowing everything was handled so well. Highly recommend on every level!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Ruston is $53 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $31 and $74 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

As of October 2026, there are 4,859 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Ruston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
93% of sitters in Ruston can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ruston home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Ruston.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Ruston sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
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.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
