Dog Sitting in Ruston

“Minh was great dropping in a couple times to check in with our pups while we were out all day for an event. We really appreciated the updates and absolutely loved the photos and videos of our pups. We can tell how much they loved her! We would definitely consider booking Minh again in the future! I know our dogs would love to see her again. Thank you soooo much Minh!”

About: Hello! I’m a lifelong animal lover with more than 55 years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds. Growing up and working on a farm, I have raised and cared for dogs and cats my entire life. This experience taught me how to understand animal behavior, recognize their needs, and provide safe, compassionate care. Dogs and cats have always been part of my family, and I have extensive experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am a longtime follower of Cesar Millan's principles of calm, confident leadership and believe that consistency, patience, exercise, and positive interactions help pets feel secure and happy. Whether your pet needs a walk, companionship while you're away, or attentive overnight care, I will treat them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where your pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits very well into my schedule because I am semi-retired and have significant flexibility and control over my time. I can adjust my daily activities to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, playtime, and overnight care as needed. Because I manage my own schedule, I am able to provide reliable, attentive care and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I enjoy spending time with animals and appreciate the opportunity to stay active while helping pet owners feel confident that their pets are receiving the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Dogs in my care are treated as part of the family and are welcome on the furniture if boarding in my home. I believe pets are happiest when they feel included, comfortable, and surrounded by positive attention. My home is located next to a beautiful waterfront walking path, providing a safe and enjoyable setting for regular exercise and outdoor time. All dogs are walked on a leash to ensure their safety while exploring the area. I carefully monitor each pet's needs, energy level, and comfort to make sure they receive the right balance of activity, companionship, and rest. I understand the trust pet owners place in a caregiver, and I am committed to providing dependable, attentive care so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve always had animals in my life since I was little. So I’ve learned at a young age how to care for animals. I currently have two dogs, a Goldendoodle named Ollie (4) and a senior dog Bella who is 17 1/2! So I’ve had experience with both the puppy stage and now the senior stage. I’m also a mom of 3 kiddos. They’re all in school so I’ve been looking for something to fill my time while they’re in school. So what a perfect way to do that and do what I love and hang with animals 😊 I drop my kids off at school by 9am everyday and pick up around 2:30. So I have that time in between for walking dogs etc I have two friendly dogs at home and kids who love animals too. I don’t have a fenced yard but I can always keep a close eye on the dog when they go potty or play outside. If they need to be leased at all times I can do that too.

“We use Holly’s services a bunch and can attest to how great she is with our little (big) pup and our home. Complete peace of mind every time she stops in to take care of Flicka. We cannot recommend her enough. Thanks Holly for being such a great dog sitter!”

“Jenna’s help went above and beyond of our expectations. It was our first experience with pet sitter and I’m glad it turned out very well. We have two pets , a cat, and a dog. Our cat is easy to take care and Jenna did it perfectly. Our dog is a rescue, he gets nervous, anxious with new people, doesn’t trust them at all. He was never left by himself and never spent time away from us since he was adopted. Jenna was SOOOO patient and kind to him . She didn’t force him to like her. She just waited slowly gaining dog’s trust by being kind, caring, sweet and of course knowledgeable. She was sending us such an informative reports ( including pictures) on how our pets are doing . We were nervous at first that our dog won’t get along with her but he did. That helped us to spend our 1 week vacation knowing that our fur kids are in a great hands. WE ARE HIGHLY RECOMMENDING JENNA and definitely would like to have her helping us again ! Thank you so much Jenna, Dima, Sasha, Meeko and Chuchi :)”

“Nisa took great care of our crew of three cats! She was super communicative and everyone was in a great mood when we got home so it’s clear they all liked her a lot. She takes some great photos, too!”

“Mollie communicated well with when she’d be able to arrive, and with questions during her stay. Can’t wait for her to hang with our babies again soon.”

About: I have grown up with animals my whole life from rodents to dogs. I have experience with labradors, basset hounds, German shepherds, Shih Tzus, and cocker spaniels. I also have had bunnies, turtles, ferrets, and I currently have 2 guinea pigs! I love all dogs, big or small! When I was in high school, I got my own yellow lab- Sedona. I trained her on basic commands: sit, stay, paw, lay down, roll over, and polite walking manors! I recently retired from the Army, and I have a flexible, part time recreation job. Mornings and Evenings are typically the best time for me to schedule, but because my schedule is flexible I can make accommodations! Whatever guidance I am given to respect someone’s home I will do! As for dog walking, I keep all dogs on a leash for their safety. I can do long walks or short- fast paced or slow sniff everything walks.

“Quinn was so sweet and fantastic with our ultra shy kitties! Normally our cats hide from all visitors, but she was able to coax them out from hiding when she came over.”

“Christy once again is just the most caring, loving, responsible pet sitter we’ve ever experienced! We just feel so lucky to have her take care our kitties!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets. I’ve been the proud owner of a pitbull for the past four years and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll treat them with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just company, I’m happy to match their needs. Caring for animals is part of my everyday routine. I’m used to early mornings, evening walks, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and exercise. I currently do not work so I’m almost always available unless I go out of town. I do my best to match whatever schedule your pet is used to. I love caring for pets where they feel most at ease — in their own home. I keep their routine consistent with meals, potty breaks, walks, and playtime, and I give them lots of affection and company. I’ll always respect your space and keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can travel stress-free.

“Lisa was fantastic. I think George had a better time with her than he does when I’m home with him. I hope she’ll want to watch him again in the future.”

About: I will make my home your pets away from home. I strive to provide loving care to your furry family member. I have been around furry friends my entire life. I have nursed puppies that lost their mom when I was 8 years old, helped our senior dogs pass over the rainbow bridge, and in my adult life I have rescued 3 adult dogs and raised a puppy. I currently have 2 small pets that live here and are very calm and friendly. I am experienced with senior dogs nearing the end of their life. by providing fluids, medication, special diets, and extra special care and love. Your pets have access to a fenced back yard with potty breaks every 2 hours (unless your dog needs more breaks in cases of puppies or senior dogs), daily walks, and furniture. Please consider me when booking your next home away from home for your furry family member.

“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.”

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.

“Alexis took amazing care of our dog and elderly cat while we were celebrating our wedding. We came back to a clean house and two fluffers who seemed like they barely noticed we were gone. She was even sweet enough to leave us a congratulations card :’) 10/10 recommend!”

“Rachel is wonderful with our kitty. She is communicative and considerate. She tries to play with Stormy, gives her treats, feeds her, and cleans up after her, and is a great relief that we have her to pet sit when we go out of town. I’d highly suggest her.”

“Michele did a great job with my cat. I'd recommend her to anyone!”
