About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for a wide variety of animals. I currently have nine cats, both indoor and outdoor, and have raised Old English Bulldogs and German Shepherds. I grew up around larger animals as well, including horses and cattle, so I’m comfortable with animals of all sizes and personalities. I’m also familiar with veterinary medicine and animal health, and I’m fortunate to have a certified veterinarian in my family who has given me additional insight into quality animal care. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I’m committed to providing them with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own animals. I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week and on weekends, so pet care can easily fit into my routine. I’m happy to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs, whether that means drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, or other in-home care. I can most likely accommodate the schedule that works best for you and your pets! I’m happy to provide drop-in visits to give your pets some mid-day attention, companionship, and relief while you’re away. I’m comfortable walking your pets, feeding them according to your specific instructions, refreshing water, cleaning up after them, and administering medications when provided with clear instructions. Every pet and household is different, so if you have a particular routine or request, please feel free to ask. I will most likely be able to accommodate it! I do not provide overnight stays, and I do not board other pets in my home because I have cats of my own.
“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!”

I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and horses, so I know how to handle all kinds of pets with patience and calm energy. 💕 Cuando cuido mascotas en tu casa, trato tu espacio y a tus peluditos con todo el respeto y cariño.

“Brianna was very responsive when we had a last-minute request for a dog walker the next day. She was quick to respond, asked questions proactively, and we came home to find our dog happy as a clam.”

About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! Growing up, I was always surrounded by pets, and I've spent years helping friends, family, and neighbors care for their furry family members. Whether it's going on walks, playing outside, feeding, or just keeping your pet company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand that pets aren't just animals - they're part of the family! I take that responsibility seriously and always do my best to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm dependable, patient, and happy to follow your pet's normal routine so they feel right at home. I'll also make sure to keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands! I own my own business and work from home, which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I can easily make time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. Since I set my own hours, I'm able to work around your pet's routine rather than the other way around. Whether you need someone for a quick visit, regular walks, or extended care, I'm happy to accommodate your schedule! I understand how important it is to know your pets are in good hands while you're away. I have a dog of my own who relies on life-saving medication for epilepsy, so I know firsthand how important it is to stay on top of medications, schedules, and special care instructions. That experience has taught me to be especially attentive, patient, and responsible when caring for animals. I take the time to learn each pet's personality and routine, and I always treat your home with respect. I'm also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they deserve!
“Taylor & Kiersten have gone above and beyond as far as initial meet and greet, communication, and extra effort to make sure they had a great connection with my pets. They are caring and I am definitely looking forward to work with them in the future. Romeo and pumpkin are so happy when they see them. Thank you!!!”


About: We are a married couple in our 40s interested in house/pet-sitting together. We have pet-sat for a few NC and TN families for the past several years, and both of us had pet-sat before we met as well. Zachary works from home and so will be around the house much of the day if dogs need a mid-day walk or meal. Denny wakes up early and can feed and walk dogs in the early morning. Between us, we have experience with cats, dogs, fish, birds, rodents, rabbits, livestock, reptiles, and amphibians. We are willing to work with other animals as well. We prefer to sleep at the pet-owner's home when needed, as this means that we’re around and available for the pets at various times throughout the day. Denny also does drop-in care and dog-walking. Zachary has experience training dogs and volunteering with cats as well. Looking forward to meeting you! Zachary has a flexible work schedule and works from home. Denny is available to care for pets in the mornings, sometimes late afternoons, evenings, and weekends. We both enjoy walking and hiking and would love to take your dogs for walks. We don’t bring pets into our home but prefer overnight care in the pets’ home and are also open to drop-in care and walks. We are both very gentle with dogs and cats and enjoy lots of cuddles with pets, and we also make sure to take them for walks if desired.

About: I’ve owned different breeds of dogs from pit bulls to chihuahuas. Growing up I was the dog sitter for everyone around. I bathed walked and took care of them mostly from the comfort of their own homes as their owners were away on trips. I am between jobs rn so for the next couple weeks I am completely free any time of day any day for whatever needs my pets may need. My yard is not fenced in so outside time at my house will consist of being walked on a leash for as long as the dogs may need. But otherwise they will be inside.
About: I'm an early bird so morning walks are always in; Sir Connor (Rest In Dog Paradise ) he was a shih tzu mixed. He was not neutered, because I wanted grand fur babies at the time. I have fostered over a dozen dogs and a handful of cats. Daisy May was an extra addition to the family while I was fostering a puppy I called Maxwell; Maxwell has been adopted by a caring couple! Daisy May is currently the only dog I have so far. Sitting Schedule: Breakfast is at 10:30. I'm reading on how to train dogs and so treats would be ideal for play time! Dinner is severed at 7:30 I feed twice a day. If I have your dog on the weekend, they get to go on a field trip to Overton Park or Mud Island Dog Park. They also get enrichment time with pet toys and snacks! I also groom on the weekend. I mostly had dogs as pets; I rescued a cat and named him Jeffery and he was adopted by a loving family. If you have more questions feel free to ask me! Thank You! I’m currently working part-time as a caregiver; I’m available after 12:00pm during the week; My weekends are flexible.

My yards are not fenced; I stay on a slow traffic street.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized approach and experience caring for dogs of all ages as if they were my own, including puppies and senior dogs. I’m trained in basic obedience and medication administration, ensuring every dog receives safe, loving, and professional care. I focus on building trust and keeping each pet’s routine consistent for their comfort and happiness. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine since I’m homeschooled and have a flexible schedule. I’m available Monday through Friday, which allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day. This flexibility helps me provide consistent, reliable care and plenty of playtime, walks, and companionship for every pet I watch. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, comfortable environment with plenty of space to play and relax. My fenced yard allows dogs to enjoy supervised outdoor time, while my friendly kitty offers calm company for social pets. In clients’ homes, I follow their pet’s regular routines, giving them personalized attention, walks, feeding, and playtime to help them feel secure and loved.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rugby
Rylie always has a smile on her face, and it’s easy to see how much she loves my Rylee! And the feeling is definitely mutual! Rylie is trustworthy, reliable, and always goes above and beyond. Rylee comes home exhausted after their time together, which tells me she’s having the best time! I’m so happy to have found someone who can match Rylee’s energy and keep up with her! It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my girl is in such good hands with someone who genuinely loves her. I couldn’t recommend Rylie enough!

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 of Dog Walking in Rugby is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $6 and $57 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 630 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Rugby. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rugby. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Rugby after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
