Glenn & Jillian were ABSOLUTELY amazing pet sitters! They took such good care of our pup Finn and helped ease our minds as this was his first time away from us. Jill sent lots of photos and videos and was super responsive to texts throughout our trip. They treated our fur baby like their own and were incredibly accommodating to our travel time frames. 5 stars across the board!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life growing up and I have cared for them since I was a kid. Our family has owned several dogs over the years and I understand how stressful it is to find a reliable sitter. I am currently working full time from home so I can provide plenty of attention throughout the day with a large yard, walks in the many parks and trails right here in browns point and long fetch sessions at the off leash park Full time working from home so I can give most of my attention to taking care of your loved ones. I like to provide morning and evening walks in the many trails and parks in the dash point neighborhood Large back yard for playing with many plants and trees. Clean and safe home free of hazards and good security. Very walkable neighborhood with parks and trails nearby

Every thing was great! It's a great thing when you can leave your dog with a compete stranger yet feel confident he is happy and in good hands. I thought my lab would resist going in the house and staying but surprisingly, he had no hesitation. When I picked him up he was happy as ever with out any signs of distress. Sonya sent pictures and let me know how he was doing. She even clipped his nails for me! She was quick to reply, easy going and easy to communicate with.

Brittany and her family were great to my dogs. She sent lots of photos and updates and it's clear they were welcomed into the family while we were gone for a week. They came back happy and in great spirits. Brittany has another little beagle who my dogs loved playing with during there stay. We would def use her again and recommend her to other dog parents.

About: Hello! My name is Megan, and I want you to know you can trust your animals with me! I will treat them like they are my own. I have cared for both cats and dogs before and been a proud owner. I promise your pets will be in good hands. I am also very flexible, and am willing to work around any schedule. I do currently have a dog in my household, but she loves all animals and is very good with them. If there needs to be separation, that can be easily done. I hope you will choose me to watch over your furry friends! I can ensure to keep open communication while your pet is in my care and will send you lots of pictures as well! I am currently a stay at home mom so I have super open availability. I am willing to work around a schedule that works best for you and your furry friend I have a very friendly puppy named Maggie at home. She loves to play and make new friends. However, if your fur baby is not too fond of other animals I can have Maggie stay with family.

I was able to board my dog Tex at Leslie’s on short notice and it turned out to be a great fit. Her dog Bruce is very well trained and got along great with my dog, who’s more interested in human friends than other dogs. She was able to administer his medication with no issues and kept the pups happy and active. She’s reliable, communicative, and took great care of Tex. I will definitely board my dog with her again! :)

About: Hi there, my name is Noelle! I’ve been working with animals my whole life, by helping my mother with her pet sitting business, to taking care of my own creature babies. I have experience with small/medium dogs, cats, and exotics such as reptiles and birds. I’m not squeamish around bugs either if you happen to have creepy crawly friends! I took care of my beloved family dog, Daffy for 14 years until her passing. I have experience with elderly dogs such as giving them medicine, frequent potty breaks, etc. I have a Russian Tortoise named Gaia, I’ve had him for about 6 years now! I also have a Siamese mix named Millie, so I’ve had my fair share of live in pet experience. I currently work from home on my computer and can take breaks whenever needed to give your pet attention. My job doesn’t have a schedule, so I can be there pretty much whenever you need me! I excel at following written/verbal instruction, just tell me what your babies need, and I will follow to the letter. More information is always welcome!

Jill and Glen just watched Nova over the 4th of July holiday weekend and we couldn’t be happier with the care they provide! They send daily updates with messages and pictures, which gives us so much peace of mind while we’re away. It’s clear they genuinely care about making Nova feel comfortable, loved, and at home. They truly go above and beyond, and we will absolutely continue booking with them. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional pet sitters!

Heather was such a pro with our timid aussie mix. We had never boarded her before, and she had never been in daycare, so our anxiety was high. Heather’s longtime advocacy and foster work with the humane society makes her a great fit for all kinds of dogs, especially those with rough beginnings. We won’t hesitate to use her again!

We had been struggling to find the right boarder for our anxious dog, and we’re SO glad we found Tobi. We really appreciated that she checked in with updates as he settled in, and before long, he was clearly happy and relaxed! He usually takes a long time to warm up to strangers and isn’t a big snuggler, so it’s a testament to their skill with anxious dogs that I got multiple pics of him snuggling with different people on their big cozy couch. We loved the photo updates, and we had a relaxing trip knowing he was in good hands. We will definitely rebook!

FAQs for Boarding - Ruston

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Ruston on Rover is $47.21 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Boarding 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 5,078 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.

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. 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 pet, 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.

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.
