“Bobbi is fantastic. She’s very friendly, communicates quickly, and kept me updated throughout my dog’s stay. She sent lots of pictures and updates on how he was doing, including all the new friends he made. I would definitely recommend Bobbi and would happily book with her again!”
“Michelle was great with our Lab. She took diligent care of Barley, took her on walks, trips to the park for fetch, and even a run. She was extremely responsive and shared updates daily. Will certainly book with Michelle again!”
“Jerry is amazing with our dog! I love that he loves on him, takes him with him on walks with other dogs and sharing photos with us while we are gone! We will use him again soon!”
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. In the past, I worked as a kennel assistant at an animal shelter, and I’m also a certified dog trainer who enjoys helping owners better understand their dogs. I love being active and spending time outdoors with dogs, and I’m passionate about keeping them healthy and happy. I have a 3-year-old German Shepherd named Kona, and in my free time, I enjoy training him and exploring the beautiful trails of Washington. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your furry friend! I’m currently available Mon-Fri 8:00am-5:00pm for dog walking and drop-in visits. I also offer overnight boarding in my home by request! I will treat your dog like my own! I will follow your directions given to me about how to take care of your pet. I’m very detail oriented and will listen to the details. Please let me know if your dog has any allergies or any specific details I should know.
“She's been in the business for a while, and this type of thing seems very natural for her. We were very comfortable leaving our dog Vinny with her for the weekend, and it went great. Thanks Val! :)”
“Kristina took wonderful care of our dog while we were away! Her communication is top notch and she was so accommodating and professional. Our pup returned happy, relaxed, exercised, and even smelling good 😊 We will definitely book with Kristina again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities since I was a child as we always grew up with a dog in the house. Friends and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets while they’re away. Now that I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision and a calm, loving environment and your dog will have company with me and my dogs, Juniper and Coco. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, offering calm companionship, or making sure they get plenty of exercise and affection. I understand how important routine and patience are, and I always treat pets as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone. I’m happy to provide photo updates and follow any specific care instructions. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I work remote as an entrepreneur, and there are always multiple people present in the house throughout the day, pets are never left unattended and always have care, supervision, and companionship. This allows for frequent potty breaks, feeding on schedule, playtime, and supervision. I’m available for boarding and care on weekends as well as weekdays, and I make sure each dog’s routine is followed closely. I provide a safe, calm, and well-supervised environment for pets in my care. I have a fully fenced balcony for supervised outdoor time and dogs who are accustomed to being around other pets. Introductions are done slowly, and interactions are always monitored. With multiple adults at home—including retired family members and another work-from-home adult—there is constant, around-the-clock care and attention. I can crate dogs if needed and strictly follow feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions. Cleanliness, supervision, and communication are top priorities, and every pet is treated like family.
“100% recommended. I met Jace through Rover just two days before Christmas, when I was desperately searching for a new pet sitter while I was out of the country. The sitter I had booked months in advance suddenly decided to kick out my senior dog with special needs. Jace had just recently started his business on Rover, and after a single phone call, I immediately realized how experienced and trustworthy he was—especially as a dog owner himself. He quickly put my mind at ease and not only took Frida in on extremely short notice, but also rescued her from a negligent situation with the sitter I had hired. Jace took care of my dog Frida for two and a half weeks, helped get her potty schedule back on track, gave her so much love, and sent the cutest daily updates while I was away. I don’t just highly recommend Jace—I am truly grateful for him. What a wonderful human. 10 out of 10 stars. He’s the best, and I will 100% hire him again.”
“Monica and her daughter were very accommodating while sitting my new puppy on short notice! It was very easy to drop off and pick up my baby Storm. Monica sent photos everyday, which gave me total comfort while I was away for a week. I would highly recommend and will be reaching out again for future boarding. Thank you Monica and family for taking such good care of baby Storm!!”
“Brittney, Landen and their family were great with our dogs Loki and Genki. My boys came back home happy and tired from all the fun they had with them over the weekend. Thank you!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for family and friends. I like to go on walks and love to take my dog to the park! I’m available 8am-6:30pm daily I’m currently a full time student and have classes online this quarter. So I’m home all day and can work with your schedule I can take your dog to the park or provide a quick walk outside whenever needed and babysit on weekdays and weekends if needed. Let me know!
“I can’t say enough great things about Matthew! He took care of my dog Smokey for the entire day while I was out working, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment I dropped Smokey off, I felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. Matthew is incredibly responsible, attentive, and caring he went above and beyond to make sure Smokey was happy, comfortable, and well exercised. He provided regular updates, which was such a nice touch, and it was clear that Smokey had an amazing time. When I picked him up, he was relaxed, well fed, and clearly had a great day. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, professional, and genuinely kind pet sitter, Matthew is the one to call. I’ll definitely be booking him again in the future! Thank you again, Matthew!”
“I’m not new to Rover, but this was I first using Karla for my two boys (Benny & Teddy). These boys are my babies… they’re special to me. I’m pretty sure most pet owners feel the same way about their fur babies. So it’s important for me to have someone who is caring, attentive, trusting and reliable watch over them while I’m gone… especially when I’ll out of the country. Karla met all of these expectations. My original sitter canceled on me a few days before my trip… which is stressful. Karla was available and willing to do a meet & greet with a short notice. Immediately my guys were comfortable with her which made me feel comfortable. She was great with regular updates and photos of them… it looked like they were on vacation too😁. If I sent a message, she always responded in a timely manner. We will definitely be back.”
“Miranda did a wonderful job watching my dog, Moose, for a 2 week long vacation. I trusted her to take good care of him and based on the photos she sent, it seems like he had an enjoyable time with her dog, Fynn. She was communicative the entire time and accommodating when I needed to extend my trip by 2 days. I would recommend her as a sitter!”
“Stitch loves going to Lena's house! She is always well cared for and has fun with her family. Lena is very communicative and sends frequent updates. We are always at peace knowing she is in good hands when we are away.”
“Morgan is great, we couldn’t ask for a better dog sitter. Our dog stayed with her while we were in Hawaii for a week. Ruby came home happy and even ate all her food which she usually doesn’t do when we have to leave her behind, clearly our dog was right at home with Morgan. We are definitely hoping to use Morgan in the future anytime we can’t take our dog with us. Thank you!”
“This is our 2nd time with Anastasiia and of course we are really satisfied on her service that went above and beyond. She always make time to update us with our baby boy whereabouts and that way made us feel that he is in a safe place especially when we are away for a long time. Blu really enjoyed playing with Pickles and had a very great stay for more than 10 days (which is far the longest that we left him). Again thank you so much to you and your husband for treating Blu as your own and for making sure he eats and sleeps well. Looking forward for the next stay! <3”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Nari! Throughout the booking process and the stay itself, she was very friendly and responsive. We got lots of pictures of our pup playing with her two sweet dogs. We would absolutely book with her again when the situation arises!”

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.

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!

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.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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. 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 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 Meet & Greet.
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. 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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
