“Erica was very professional and took great care of our cat for a week while we were out of town. I would recommend her to anyone looking for prompt and professional pet care. Thank you again, Erica!”
“Juli is an absolutely wonderful person and “pet whisperer”. She cared for our introverted, finicky cat while we were away and within days our cat was greeting her at the door and purring on her lap! That’s amazing! She is very professional and responsible and we were very happy with the care she gave our cat. Her daily visit notes that she shares with photos were informative, reassuring and warm-hearted. We wholeheartedly recommend Juli and hope she’ll be available the next time we’re away!”
“Nisa took great care of our crew of three cats! She was super communicative and everyone was in a great mood when we got home so it’s clear they all liked her a lot. She takes some great photos, too!”
“Carrie was amazing! Super communicative and provided detailed updates on each visit that were much appreciated. I was able to relax and enjoy my trip knowing my kitty was in such great hands!”
“Elizabeth was a perfect match for our cat sitting needs and was able to give our geriatric feline her meds. She was prompt, professional, and relpied quickly to messages. We will definitely ask her to take care of our kitty again!”
“Emily was able to watch our cats for the weekend with a last minute request, and did a great job. She is very prompt and thorough. We came home to 2 content cats! Thanks, Emily!”
“Alyssa took great care of my cat, Cuervo! He’s a senior cat and she had no problem cleaning up after his throw up accidents. Cuervo has a hard time warming up to people but all the videos and pictures Alyssa sent made me happy to see that he liked her and was excited to see her everyday.”
“Rachel was great with our dog Duke! We were gone for the day and needed someone to walk him and check in on him and we could tell he loved his time with her. Would definitely recommend!”
“Rachel is wonderful with our kitty. She is communicative and considerate. She tries to play with Stormy, gives her treats, feeds her, and cleans up after her, and is a great relief that we have her to pet sit when we go out of town. I’d highly suggest her.”
“Very diligently took notes during the initial home walkthrough, very communicative during each of her visits with the kitties. Overall, a stellar pet-sitting experience and will absolutely be booking her in the future.”
“Juli went above and beyond every visit with our dog. It was obvious just how much she cares with every photo and message she sent during her drop in. I will definitely be asking her to take care of Hope again in the future.”
“Theo was so amazing with my pup and made sure she got lots of attention! Very amazing and good understanding of dog’s needs and behavior, highly recommend Theo!”
“Win took such good care of our dogs on her drop-ins. She was very detailed, took a bunch of pictures, and they seemed really happy to have her there. We would definitely book her again!”
“First time Rover user here, and we chose Jenna to check in on our bengal cat while we were out of town for the holidays. She was a great pet sitter, always quick to respond to messages, and I would happily recommend her. Our cat wasn’t very outgoing, but I could tell Jenna was trying her best to make him feel comfortable while we were away. I appreciated the detailed notes and pictures she left each day. She was very thorough in making sure everything was done that we had asked for.”
“Ethan did a great job with Bravo! We have never left Bravo for this long and felt really comfortable leaving Bravo with Ethan. I'm pretty sure he kept him more entertained then we do an even brought him over a new toy, which he loves! Thanks, Ethan for taking such good care of Bravo and sending pics to us of him enjoying his day! We hope he is still with Rover when we need him again!”
“Kyle took great care of our cat while we were out of town! Played with her, brushed her, got her to sit on his lap which we’re sure she loved. He also kindly brought in our mail and watered our plants. Thanks Kyle!!”

Lesley is absolutely incredible and went above and beyond to help care for our boys! This past sit she was able to help us when we had a last minute change in travel plans and support us with an issue in the house. She is always great at communicating and takes such wonderful care of our kitties! 🧡
Rachel is incredible! She is reliable, punctual and very communicative which is so helpful for our peace of mind when we have to leave small dog. Most importantly I felt she really took care to love on Oliver and give him the attention he needed and took good care of him. She has watched Oliver for a couple of times for us and she was flexible and helpful. I would HIGHLY recommend Rachel!
Kyle is such a great sitter! He always sends the best action shots of our cat playing and cuddling. We had a lot of packages arriving this last trip; he was so kind as to stop by to put a large one inside the day before our booking with him officially began, just because we had already left to head out of town. Thank you so much Kyle!!
Kentaro took wonderful care of my baby while I was out of town for two weeks! He took fantastic pictures, long walks and made sure she was happy and healthy. Very reliable, cleaned up her messes and was overall fantastic. I would most definitely recommend him and book him again! Thank you so much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Ruston on Rover is $27.75 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 11,377 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ruston. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Ruston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ruston. On Rover:
- 92% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
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.
