“First time Charlie has stayed with Tobi and he loved it. Tobi is very laid back and easy going and made Charlie very welcome. We had a little message or picture from her every day. No hesitation in recommending Tobi - we've already booked a second stay for Charlie with her. 5 Stars!!”
“Andrea is the best! She is attentive to my fur baby’s needs and she gives him lots of attention and cuddle time. She provided numerous updates and pictures while I was away. She also reached out as soon as possible to remedy a slight food shortage on my part. We will definitely see her again soon.”
“Absolutely amazing sitter!! Poppy loved her and looked so happy while she was with her. Heather even was able to extend her sitting for us last minute. She did amazing keeping in touch with us and giving us updates. Will definitely be booking with her again!!”
“Highest Reviews for Jennifer. most sitter were very prompt in getting back to me none could accommodate my schedule. Jennifer said yes and was very prompt with all of the follow-up replies. great location and setting. I will recommend her to anyone and will use her services again when needed. Thank you very much.”
“Jennifer is just the kindest sitter ever. She and her doggie Champ are wonderful and kind humans. My little guy got his paw injured before I left on my trip and she did his best to help coordinate his care. She regularly communicated how he was doing to me, and when he needed to go to urgent care she was wonderful about getting him to a trusted family member to continue his care elsewhere. We love Jennifer and Champ and hope to see them again when Cosmo is all healed up!”
“Molly was wonderful with Sherman and clearly has a love of dogs. I would highly recommend and will definitely be booking again. Thanks Molly for taking good care of my angel.”
“Amanda did awesome caring for our Boston Terrier, Moses. She sent photo updates regularly and even let him sleep with them in the bed after I let her know how much he loves to snuggle and be close to humans! I feel like she knows what she is doing as she cares for all the dogs needs that are in her care! I recommend her to anyone looking for a place to board their pup and I will definitely be calling again to board, Moses. (probably towards the end of March) :)”

You can tell right away that the are experienced with dogs by the questions and approach. Hazel was living her best pupper life while staying with Erin. I highly recommend her especially if you like pics of your baby while you are separated.”
“Kelly was amazing! She watched my two dogs, one that was elderly and one that is just about 2.5 years old. She was very responsive and sent photos of my girlies while I was away. She was very kind and super easy to work with. I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m out of town!”

About: Hi there! I grew up with dogs and for the last nine years, have been a mom to my beloved chiweenie named Fynn. Friends, family members, and clients trust me with their dogs, for both short and long term stays, and I’d love to care for your pup. Fynn is very active, so we do at least two long walks a day. I live in the North End, so frequently walk in Puget Park and am always happy to take pups to Point Defiance depending on exercise needs. Of course, if your dog needs more rest, I’ll take that into account as well. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medication. I am in academia and currently on my summer break, so I’m home most of the time. Your dog will rarely be alone. Please reach out! Can’t wait to hang with your pup! I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am free on weekdays and weekends as needed, and am available for both shorter and longer term stays. I live in an apartment but take frequent dog walks and bathroom breaks as needed. I have a nine-year-old chiweenie named Fynn who loves other dogs and will be a great buddy to your pup. I’m close to parks and Point Defiance so your dog will get plenty of exercise!
“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!”
About: Hello! My name is Megan, and I want you to know you can trust your animals with me! I will treat them like they are my own. I have cared for both cats and dogs before and been a proud owner. I promise your pets will be in good hands. I am also very flexible, and am willing to work around any schedule. I do currently have a dog in my household, but she loves all animals and is very good with them. If there needs to be separation, that can be easily done. I hope you will choose me to watch over your furry friends! I can ensure to keep open communication while your pet is in my care and will send you lots of pictures as well! I am currently a stay at home mom so I have super open availability. I am willing to work around a schedule that works best for you and your furry friend I have a very friendly puppy named Maggie at home. She loves to play and make new friends. However, if your fur baby is not too fond of other animals I can have Maggie stay with family.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ruston
Jill and Glen just watched Nova over the 4th of July holiday weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provide! They send daily updates with messages and pictures, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear they genuinely care about making Nova feel comfortable, loved, and at home. They truly go above and beyond, and we will absolutely continue booking with them. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters!
Heather was such a pro with our timid aussie mix. We had never boarded her before, and she had never been in daycare, so our anxiety was high. Heather’s longtime advocacy and foster work with the humane society makes her a great fit for all kinds of dogs, especially those with rough beginnings. We won’t hesitate to use her again!
We feel very lucky to have found Rose and her family. They welcomed Auggie right in, and we could see the mutual affection when we picked him up. Auggie is going to miss all of his friends at the Pawlace, but we will make sure to visit again soon. Thank you for taking great care of our Juicebox, Rose!
We had been struggling to find the right boarder for our anxious dog, and we’re SO glad we found Tobi. We really appreciated that she checked in with updates as he settled in, and before long, he was clearly happy and relaxed! He usually takes a long time to warm up to strangers and isn’t a big snuggler, so it’s a testament to their skill with anxious dogs that I got multiple pics of him snuggling with different people on their big cozy couch. We loved the photo updates, and we had a relaxing trip knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely rebook!
Very please with using Dorian to watch our dog. I have zero complaints. We have a very active pit mix puppy. He had no problem calming him and making him feel at home. Took him for walks often and treated him kindly. Will definitely be the first person I ask next time I need someone.
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!

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Ruston
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ruston on Rover is $47.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 4,924 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 rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
91% of Ruston sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Ruston landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Ruston home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
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.
