About: I started walking & sitting dogs around my neighborhood when I was 14/15 years old. For about 2 years after, I frequently volunteered at the Humane Society, socializing the cats & walking dogs. I adore animals so much and have been trusted to care for many different kinds of pets in the past. Big, small, elderly, sick, or straight-up wild! Doing daily drop-ins or housesitting is most preferable because of my work schedule. I am always available overnight, but my available times change during the daytime hours. If it is a longer stay, I just need to know a little bit more ahead of time. I am the general manager at a coffee shop, so I do make my own schedule :) While dog-walking, I promise to keep my full attention on your pup at all times. I have experience walking larger breeds because of past jobs, as well as walking my own 120 lb. Doberman mix for years before he passed. While sitting or doing drop-in visits, I will promise to follow your exact instructions. I am clean, caring, and compassionate with everything I do. **I have taken care of large breed dogs, senior pets, disabled pets, pets with special needs, pets with daily medication, and pets with behavioral issues. Just let me know any important information beforehand! Though I currently have a full-time job, I have plenty of free time before/after work that I would love to spend with your animals :) I make my own schedule! Always available overnight. I cannot currently provide boarding in my own home, but I intend to fully respect anyone’s home I enter. Any instructions left will be followed to a T. Your personal belongings will never be touched, and communication is always my top priority.
About: I have 7 years of pet sitting experience, and have petsat dogs, cats, chickens, hamsters, pigs, and fish. What sets me apart is my experience with my 14 year old cat. She is diabetic and has a host of other senior Kitty problems. I administer insulin twice a day, glucose curves, and oral medication. I am comfortable doing all of this with your fur baby too. I am also known to give excellent pets and belly rubs! I am now in the clinical year of my Physician Assistant program, so my schedule will be heavily influenced by my preceptor at the time. I would love to walk your pet around the neighborhood and take them to the dog park if that is their interest as well. I give all the pets I petsit lots of attention and cuddles each and every day!
“Jaidyn was so sweet, patient and thoughtful with our basset hound Phoebe. She walked her longer than expected and cared for her just as we would. We can’t recommend Jaidyn enough!”

“Jaymes has been great with my high-energy German Shepherd puppy! He goes the extra mile to reinforce the training we've been working on and make sure she's safe and happy. He clearly has a good amount of experience with dogs and is well-versed in the basic principles of dog behavior. Highly recommend!”

About: Hi! My name is Suzy and I am an avid pet lover! I have owned dogs and cats throughout my entire life. I am accustomed to working with both larger and smaller dogs, and have volunteered numerous times at animal shelters. I love taking dogs on walks, to dog parks, and playing fetch. My own dog has separation anxiety and can be difficult to handle at times, but this has prepared me to work with other animals with similar issues! If your dog has specific dietary needs, I will be sure to follow all instructions given. In addition, if your dog needs directed medication, I am capable of administering that. I understand the importance of taking care of your pets, as they are a vital component of your family. I am reliable and eager to work with new furry friends.
About: Hi everyone! I’m Ashley. (Rover lists my legal name, but I’ve gone by my middle name since birth.) I care for every pet as if they were my own. I know how important it is for pets to stay comfortable in their own home, so I focus on keeping their routines consistent and their environment calm and familiar. I’m both playful and patient, and I adapt to each animal’s personality — whether that means energetic playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking closely to their normal routine. My two goals when caring for your pets are simple: 🐾 Make your pet feel safe, understood, and loved while you’re away 📱 Give you total peace of mind with regular updates, photos, and communication You’ll always know how your pet is doing — and you might even get a video of me singing to them if they seem like they’d enjoy it. I have an extrememly flexible schedule, and i am 100% dependable. I am understanding about schedules changing or long work days without notice, and am more than happy for last minute drop in's or walks/feedings. Preferably at least a 1 hour notice, or if we live close by that would be an exception. I am very easy to work with! I care for the pets as instructed, whether it be in your backyard or on a walk or home snuggles/feeding. If your pets are fans of ridiculous humans singing to them, then I am the one for you.
“Chloe is very communicative and I am so glad she is careful of my dog's health and comfort, especially on extra hot days. My dog Marty liked her instantly and I am so glad to have found her to give him his midday walkabouts!”

About: I am a ABC certified dog trainer, and worked in dog rescue and foster care for more than 3 years assessing and evaluating dogs and managing behavioral issues that arose with dogs in foster care. I have experience in dog behavior and understand dogs with stress or anxiety issues, and that some dogs may require a deft hand. I will use calming techniques for dogs that seem stressed. I have a medical background as well and regularly administer all types of medications to pups with my rescue work. I am a therapist as well and bring a background of mental health for humans as well as our pets. I currently work part time as a therapist and have relatively flexible scheduling, so I should be able to accommodate most requests throughout the week. I have a fenced in yard and two dog friendly rescue mixes. We have baby gates and doors throughout for separation at meal times, or if needed during their stay.
“Julie is a real pro when it comes to working with dogs. My dog was a bit hesitant on meeting Julie, and she knew exactly how to gently earn his trust. Smooth sailing after that. He loved going on a walk with Julie, and I'm booking more sessions. Great communication skills, too.”


“Tara is great- super reliable and very caring. She is a huge dog lover and she took time to get to know my dog and what she needs! She is very concerned for the animals she watches, and I felt completely comfortable that my dog was in good hands every day!”

About: I got my first dog (Westley) when I was in middle school, I got a bunny (Puff Daddy) in college and my cousin has a cat (Mabel) that I occasionally pet sit. This diversity with animals makes me a great candidate I'm currently working part time as a substitute while in school, so I'll have plenty of time to cater to your pets needs and ensure the best care as possible. Within the designate area, supplied by you, I can make sure to clean up after your pet, keep them entertained, happy, fed and always with a tummy rub.

I am able to watch dogs overnight in my home. Again I have a dog who loves to play with other dogs. I kennel him when I leave the house for short periods of time. There are two dog parks in my area.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Rugby. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Rugby.

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.
Every walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rugby. On Rover:
- 93% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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 dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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 walker.
