Jennifer and Champ are the best! They are both so welcoming. My middle-aged Lab is usually somewhat mellow and indifferent, but when he arrived for his second visit at Jennifer's house, he was super bouncy and excited! Jennifer has a big fenced yard and she has transformed her house for ultimate dog-friendly comfort. She sent pictures and updates throughout his visit, and even printed a beautiful photo of him for me to take home. Jennifer is very responsive, quickly responding to my inquiries about scheduling and and answering questions. I knew my Nikko was in good hands and I felt 100 percent comfortable leaving my pup with her. I just hope she doesn't get too popular and busy!

About: Daycare is required before boarding. Please message me for more details, thank you! Dog Daycare is Mon-Fri, 7:30-3:30. I send photo pupdates and shuttle dogs home between 3:30-4:30pm. 🚙 I can comfortably board dogs up to 2 weeks and make sure they still have a loved and happy time. 🧡 I’ve been working with cats & dogs since 2004 and would love to fill your best friend’s day with their favorite fun activities! :-) I start my dog walks and drop in cat care visits as early as sunrise. And, I say goodnight to my last customers by evening. From the moment I step through your door, I am happy to follow special feeding instructions, play their favorite games or take a neighborhood walk.

Rose has watched our 2 dogs on a few occasions and they seem to do so great with her. One of our dogs can definitely be anxious with new places but Rose seems to go above and beyond to help him settle in and from the pictures she sends, he seems to really enjoy being there. Will definitely continue to take our dogs to Rose anytime we are in need of a dog sitter!

Matt was great with my little guy. He has a large yard for dogs to run and play. My job ran increadibly late the day Matt watched my dog and he was kind enough to let him stay overnight and got up super early for my initial drop off. Will definitely use him again next time I am in need. Thanks Matt!

Molly has been amazing to my girl! She hosts her daily for doggy daycare with her crew of dogs and Finley fits right in. Throughout the day, Molly sends pictures to update me & even goes above and beyond by dropping Finley off home on the nights I work late. I am ecstatic that Finley gets to socialize with some furry friends during the day and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m working. I highly recommend Molly as she is passionate in caring for dogs and is very accommodating with her services!

About: My name is Rosa, I’m from San Francisco I love dogs and I enjoy spending time with them. I have a 11 years old Yorkie, she is fun and energetic and she loves attention. We can spend a full afternoon just playing ball catching back and forth. That is her favorite. I usually like to bring her out to the park she love sunbathing. I am available most weekdays and willing to drive and bring them to the dog park to take a walk, or if you have a preferred address I would love to take them there. I know how to make them happy with full body massage skills and spa.

About: What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong hands-on experience and professional knowledge of animal care. I’ve had dogs for most of my life and have always shared my home with cats. Growing up, my family bred our dog, and I helped raise and potty train the puppies before they went to their forever homes. That experience taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement from an early age. Today, I’m a high school Animal Science teacher, where I teach students about animal health, behavior, welfare, and responsible care. I enjoy working with dogs of all ages, especially reinforcing good manners and basic training. Friends and family often ask me for help with training their dogs, and I love helping build confidence through positive reinforcement. I’m also experienced administering medications and following detailed care instructions, so I’m comfortable caring for pets with special medical or daily care needs. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, an adult dog who loves adventure, a senior who prefers a slower pace, or a cat who enjoys a calm companion, I’ll provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind through regular updates and photos. Since I’m a teacher on summer break I have lots of weekday availability right now. I have very flexible availability, if you don’t see the time/days you need on my schedule, don’t hesitate to reach out and ask. I have a fenced in yard and an XL wire kennel in a calm area your furry friend is welcome to use. My dog, Lady, is very sweet and gets along really well with other dogs (even her grumpy old cousin). She loves playing with others, but I can keep her separated as needed. My cat, Mister, he is okay with other dogs coming over and just hangs out in his own space until he can trust the new doggo. I will treat your pet with the love and care I give to mine. I will follow any rules, commands, and training practices that you use with your pet. I use force-free, reward-based training to build clear communication, trust, and reliable everyday behavior. I have experience with gentle leaders, no-pull harnesses, and structured collar systems when appropriate for safety and handling. I can help with: * Loose-leash walking & pulling * Leash reactivity / frustration * Basic obedience (sit, down, stay, recall) * Recall in distracting environments * Impulse control & leash manners My approach is tailored to each dog’s temperament and focuses on real-world success and consistency between sessions. I also make sure to review each pet’s profile so owners don’t have to repeat information. For severe aggression or complex behavioral cases, I’ll communicate honestly if a certified behaviorist may be a better fit.

Egle and her family were the best pup sitters! I’m so grateful to them for their help, dependability, and gentleness. I could tell they really enjoyed my dog, and that’s what I look for in a dog sitter. They have a beautiful fenced back yard and lots of room for dogs in the home. My pup got along well with their cat, too. I appreciated the pictures and texts to check in while I was gone. I highly recommend this family for your pet needs!

About: Comfortable and experienced with administering medication and caring for pets with anxiety, medical conditions, disabilities, and special needs. Rest assured instructions for care will be followed exactly. As a stay-at-home dog mom, I provide attentive, consistent pet sitting with plenty of companionship, structure, and love, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for as part of my daily routine. Living in an apartment surrounded by parks, pets enjoy plenty of daily walks, outdoor time, and are always welcome to come along whenever I leave home.

We were so happy for our first day care day with Drew. She is very professional and skilled with our Boxer dog Dove. She was so attentive and really made us feel at ease leaving Dove with her for what for us was also a great day. Her communication was excellent and really accommodated all our care needs. We look forward to return for more dates in the coming months for sure.

Jennifer is amazing- a total dog whisperer. Our dog is always a bit nervous around new people and in new settings. He took instantly to Jennifer and was much more relaxed at the end of the day when I picked him up. We’ve worked with Jennifer several times now and she’s been responsive, incredibly reliable, and communicative. I’d definitely recommend her to any of my family or friends.

Sydnee has been fantastic with my pitbull named Hurley. She is very friendly and knowledgeable and shows that she cares for her animals. She sends photos and updates throughout the day and her bully breed Bronson is sooooo cute and loves to play with my dog. It's also very refreshing coming home from a long day of work and my pup was ready for a nap. Will definitely be using her services again and again.

A good balance of exercise and rest is what he loves! Thank you so much for being flexible about pick up as well, we had a wonderful time at Ren Fair and hope you get to go next year!

I think she is an amazing sitter. Very attentive to my dog. She kept in touch with me during the day and sent many pictures and updates which is a plus. She also caught that my dog was have some tummy trouble as well which I appreciated her letting me know right away. She goes out of her way to make sure my dog is having fun and is hydrated. I recommend everyone to choose Tran to watch your dogs they will be in very good hands. My dogs love her and they are always so excited to see her

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Ruston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Ruston on Rover is $38.85 per day (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 3,452 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Ruston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Ruston commute.

If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

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.

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 dog, 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, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 3,452 sitters in Ruston, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.

You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

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.
