“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.”
“We have booked Kelly multiple times, and our once-anxious shih tzus were practically dragging my husband across the lawn to greet her this time. They adore “Auntie Kelly” and they were a little sad to leave Khloe behind at the end of the day. I love the regular updates and photos she sends throughout the day, and she truly cares for my dogs as if they were her own. I (still!) highly recommend her!”
“Matt is kind and patient with my Italian greyhound. He sent several text updates with photos. He took the dogs on walks and played outside in his big yard - she was happily worn out at the end of the day. My pup loved him! I will definitely book with him again and recommend him to friends.”
About: Hi, I’m Rosa! With 12 years of experience caring for dogs, I know that every pup has their own personality, routine, and little quirks that make them special. I share my home with my 11-year-old Yorkie, who is still playful and full of personality. Caring for a senior dog has taught me how important patience, attentiveness, and understanding each dog’s individual needs can be. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and loved—and to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys neighborhood walks, exploring the park, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with a trusted companion, I’ll tailor our time together to their energy level and preferences. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medication, crate use, and rest so your dog can maintain a familiar routine. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can feel like a big decision. That’s why I value clear communication, thoughtful care, and regular photo updates through Rover, so you can see how your pup is doing. I’m available for boarding on most weekdays after 2 PM, with flexibility depending on my schedule. Before booking, I’d love to learn about your dog’s temperament, daily routine, favorite activities, and any special needs. I’d love to meet you and your pup and help them feel right at home! 🐶❤️ I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of flexibility to give your pup lots of attention. I’m available for boarding on most weekdays after 2 PM. I’m also happy to accommodate your dog’s usual feeding, walking, and rest schedule whenever possible. My priority is keeping every pup safe, comfortable, and supervised. I have a clean, dog-friendly home and an 11-year-old Yorkie who is friendly and used to having other dogs around. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, crate use, and routines, and I’ll make sure your dog has a calm space to relax when they need quiet time.
About: My 18 year old Cairn Terrier has just left for doggie heaven. My home is lonely without him. He was my fourth dog, so I have a lot of experience caring for a furry friend. My rate is low because having to find care for my dog was a major issue when I traveled. It is worth mentioning that I will watch only ONE dog at a time. It must also be a SMALL dog based on the Rover size chart. I am retired, but love to travel. I think it would be unfair to adopt another dog while I am still intending to spend time away from home. It has been a long time since I have been without a dog in my life. I thought taking care of yours would be a good way to have a furry companion when I am home. This is another reason for my low rate. I have a big fenced yard and a lot of left over stuff from my dog to provide a warm welcoming environment for my client's pet.
About: I’ve had dogs of all ages and sizes in my life since childhood. I’ve trained several dogs and am very patient and loving to all. I’m currently retired and can work with just about any schedule. Please contact me directly to arrange a time that works best for your pup. I have a fully fenced back yard and currently no animals of my own. Summer I spend most my time on my deck and in my garden. Your pup is welcome to join me. I have recently became a grandma and occasionally am a babysitter. Your pup must be loving towards toddlers to join us unless it’s a short stay that my babies won’t be joining. Contact me for additional scheduling. Thanks for understanding. Besides a few trips to the store or an occasional appointment I am home pretty much 24/7 so I’ll become your pups new bestie 😁 I have a fully fenced backyard. Because we have so many bunnies in our area when we build our fence we attached chicken wire to the bottom of the fence and buried the end in the dirt. So even the littlest of pups are safe!

“Can’t say enough about Brittany! Besides, I don’t know what we would ever do without her. Thank you for everything and being so dependable and flexible. Please never go anywhere lol”
“Sherry was absolutely wonderful with my two little dogs. She was extremely flexible with my schedule and excellent at communicating. I felt very safe knowing my dogs were with her and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Kana was very attentive to our dog's needs. She took care of her so well. My dog was excited to come back on the second day because they played with her and provided good activities. We appreciated very much their kindness with us and my energetic puppy.”
“Polly was sidelined due to a leg injury for the last few months and missed her regular daycare visits with Milo & Marisol. Yesterday was her first day back and it did not disappoint! Milo and Polly picked up right where they left off, and Marisol made sure Polly didn’t overdo it or risk re-injury. I am so very grateful for Marisol’s care and diligence. We’re looking forward to our next visit!”
About: Hi, I’m Sierra and I would love to give your pets the quality care they deserve! I am a huge animal lover with many years of experience working with animals. I am very responsible and clean whenever I am a guest in someone's home. I am also insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates. I have more than 5 years of professional experience working in overnight pet boarding & doggie day care facilities. I worked 2+ years at Paws Crossing Pet Resort and I also worked 3+ years at PetSmart PetsHotel where I was a supervisor. I have been petsitting full time for a little over 2 years now and I absolutely love it. See my photo gallery for pictures of all kinds of dogs I’ve worked with over the years! On top of my professional experience, I have volunteered at animal shelters, petsat for friends and family, and cared for my own 2 doggies Mugsy and Marley. Throughout my many years of experience I have worked with all kinds of dogs from energetic puppies to older dogs that need extra special care, and everything in between. I have worked with every size and breed you could think of. I have cared for cats and even bunnies too. I have been trained on how to safely administer many kinds of medications and injections if necessary. Because of my extensive experience working with animals I am confident I can keep your pets happy healthy and safe no matter the situation. I have been trained on how to recognize signs of stress or any other signs of concern, and if I notice anything worrisome I will contact you immediately so we can form a plan of action together if needed. Note: I do not bring my dogs with me when I housesit (unless your pets are friendly and want to have a play date we can possibly work that out!). My sister takes care of my dogs for me when I am not home, which is why I have an extra fee for overnight stays of 3+ nights. If you have any questions about my pricing or anything else please reach out!
“Crismar was great with my puppy Luna. Luna was not feeling her best and Crismar provided updates/ pictures for me throughout the day. When Luna was feeling better, she kept her active and moving throughout the day. Definitely will be returning in the future.”
“Amazing! My dogs had a lovely day with her and were nice and worn out by bedtime. She was able to help me longer when we unexpectedly had a delay in our pickup time. Highly recommend!”
“I feel really good about Dash's first daycare stay with Rudy! And for a somewhat anxious dog parent like myself, that's a genuine compliment. At our meet-and-greet, it was apparent that Rudy and his family KNOW about dogs. For instance, they let Dash get acquainted with them and their living room first, then added each of their dogs one at a time to make sure everyone was getting along. They asked smart questions about his habits and temperament and how we've trained him. When their children came to meet Dash, it was obvious they've been taught how to meet dogs safely and calmly. When I picked Dash up at the end of the day, he was pleasantly tired, and Rudy was responsive on text during the day. Thank you, Rudy and family!”
“Christopher was so kind and took great care of my grumpy old man :) he was very responsive, sent daily photos, and gave lots of love! He even gave him a bath and cleaned his eye boogers for him. Thank you so much! We will definitely come back!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Ruston
Rose took amazing care of our pups. They were happy from the moment we were greeted in the front yard. Rose provided pictures throughout their stay and they had a blast with their pups and were welcomed as part of the pack! We definitely recommend Rose for your Rover needs.
Jennifer was awesome! She accommodated a last minute request to watch our dog for a few hours in the evening and it helped us out so much. She was kind and let our dog play with hers in her large yard. She also took great photos and was communicative and prompt. Highly recommend her!
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.
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.
I think Rosie had a really good time with Blaire and Rip. I appreciated how Blaire took the time to have her dog and mine meet beforehand. That seemed to really help Rosie when I dropped her off at their house. I also appreciated Blaire sending me pictures and letting me know how Rosie was doing during her stay. Overall, I think it went well. Hope to have Rosie there again.:)

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.
As of October 2026, there are 3,449 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of WA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
