“Yessica was so great with Cat Sammy, I will definitely be trusting her with my cat again in the future. She was easy to schedule with and assured me she would not take on any other pets while she watched my cat, which brought me a lot of comfort. It was harder to find a Rover with no other pets involved than I expected. A lot of sitters on Rover take on multiple pets at a time, lock them in separate rooms or crates or have pets of their own. Those circumstances create a stressful environment for both myself and my cat so I prefer a sitter that is able to provide a stable and stress free environment. She sent me daily updates and photos which is not required but was very much appreciated. Sammy was happy and purring in all of the videos and it brought me peace of mind. She even took him outside a little for fresh air which he loves— she went the extra mile. Her communication was great & timely and she easily built trust with me. She returned all of his items clean & in tact. 10/10 recommend Yessica as your Rover!”

“She was absolutely wonderful with our little picky boy! 🐶❤️ She made him feel comfortable, safe, and turned the whole experience into so much fun—especially getting to play with her dogs. She even took him out for a walk, which I wasn’t expecting but genuinely appreciated. Seeing his little tail wagging as he happily went to her was the best reassurance that he felt comfortable and loved. 🥹 She kept us updated throughout the day with lots of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. We’re so grateful for how caring and attentive she was with him. We would absolutely trust her with our little guy again!”

“Michelle was absolutely amazing with Luna! I couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of my dog. She was incredibly caring, attentive, and responsible throughout Luna’s stay. She made sure Luna was taken outside regularly for walks, gave her food and medication on time, and most importantly, gave her so much love and attention. Luna came back so happy and comfortable, and it was clear to me that she had been very well taken care of. Michelle also kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust Michelle with Luna again in the future, without hesitation. In fact, she will be one of the first people I contact whenever I need someone to care for Luna. I highly recommend Michelle to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their beloved pet. You can have complete peace of mind knowing that your dog is in caring, loving, and responsible hands. Thank you so much, Michelle, for taking such wonderful care of my little Luna! ❤️🐶”

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.

We were so nervous to leave our somewhat reactive rescue dog for the first time, but after meeting Drew we were completely at ease. Drew's communication was excellent, and we were able to have a great vacation without worrying about him for even a minute. From the photos Drew sent, it was very clear that Ralphie was super comfortable in her home, having a great time and being spoiled in the best way. He came home a very tired and happy pup and we would absolutely book Drew again!

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.

There are 5,007 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Ruston. About 91% of Ruston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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 .

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
