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.
“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!”
“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: I’ve taken care of my cat ever since I was born (he’s 20) and I have 2 childhood dogs at home that I walked and fed every day, and now one crazy Pitbull of my own! I am a high school teacher and off for the summer so I will have plenty of time to care for your cats and dogs! I have a 2 year old pitbull who used to jump/nibbled so I am able to direct and control dogs if needed. I have a lot of experience with dogs who pull on leash, so that also will not be a problem.
About: I have cared for large breed dogs for my entire life, and I’ve worked in animal care for 5 years. I am experienced in administering medications and understanding animal behavior from my work in animal shelters. I currently work at a veterinary clinic! I am off on every other weekend, and have a day off during the week. During every work day I am available to check in on your pets on my lunch break, and I get off early in the evening so I have plenty of afternoon time to spend with them! I am new to Rover, but have been pet sitting for many reoccurring clients for about 3 years now. I currently have four cats of my own, and I am a neonatal kitten foster and have bottle babies on and off. As such, I am adept at handling fragile cats with special needs. I am very experienced in administering medications of all types to both cats and dogs, including injections, oral, topical, etc.
About: treat every pet like family—offering patience, play, and reliable care. With me, your furry friend gets love, safety, and personalized attention always. From senior friends to bouncing babies, everyone is loved and spoiled! I am currently working a part time job along with attending online college, so my schedule may fluctuate a bit! Please reach out with any inquiries as far as scheduling goes. While I do not offer pet sitting in my home, I have lots of experience sitting in other people's home! I am licensed and insured, and treat not only your pets, but also your property, with the utmost care.
“Jenny has been an excellent dog walker for us! She’s professional, flexible with scheduling, and communicative. 100% recommend and will be using her services for boarding in the future! She shows my baby lot of love and attention too!”
About: I’ve cared and handle for friends and family cats and dogs for years (mostly cats). I love playing with any pets and provide great play time. I have plenty of time to walk! I’m very flexible depending on my schedule for the week. I’m mostly free on the weekdays and can respond quickly. I treat every pet with respect and playfulness. I follow any guidelines or rules provided by the owners. I am usually on time and will provide the best service I possible can.
“Wonderful experience with Julie! She was amazing with my puppy Olive. Olive is wary of new people and Julie was patient and kind with her. Will definitely be booking her again soon!”
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.

Rylee’s favorite day of the week? The day she gets to see the human version of herself! 😂🐶💕 She knows her bestie is coming for walks, runs, adventures, and of course, a little fun. These two absolutely adore each other—and apparently, her human twin takes pretty darn good pictures, too! 📸😉🐾

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Rugby on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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:
- 95% 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.
