“Mark is really friendly and you can tell he really loves animals. My 10lb Shih Tzu Callie got along with his dog Lucky and I was not worried about my little baby being alone with his German Shepherd mix. I'm also really thankful about how flexible he was with my crazy, changing schedule about drop-off and pick-up times. I'm glad to have dropped Callie off with Mark. Thanks again! I appreciate you watching my little baby over the weekend!”

“Kelly was very communicative during the scheduling the meet and greet. Her other dogs were quite excited to meet my pup, and while they startled me, my pup didn’t seem to be too scared. Kelly made sure to keep the dogs separate with strong gates and an organized system for rotating backyard bathroom breaks. I highly recommend Kelly for boarding and sitting.”
“My baby girl loves Auntie Ty!! Titeara is not only a fun and loving sitter but she knows what she is doing as well…very professional and keeps me updated.

“Brett and Stephanie took wonderful care of our 6 month old pup! We chose daycare as we had a busy day ahead of us and did not want to crate our pup all day. Safe to say she had a great time, and Brett + Stephanie kept us updated with pics throughout the day! We highly recommend them.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Rugby
Kissie was amazing! She was able to accommodate my last-minute daycare request, which I really appreciated. Communication was great, and it was clear my dogs were well cared for and having a wonderful time. I would absolutely book with Kissie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.
Kaylen was very gracious to watch my pup Roxy for a few hours on short notice so that I could visit some sites in Memphis. I felt very relieved to have an experienced pet sitter care for my girl so that I could take my time at the Civil Rights Museum. If we lived in Memphis, Roxy would be a repeat customer.
I felt like Kissie took care of my dog today. I like Kissie’s style and her positive manner. My puppy is only four months old and I wish that I had some more photos of them playing inside. She is taking care of my dog tomorrow and I would like to talk to her about how tired my dog was when I brought him home. That worries me a little.
Kaylen truly cares for my dog as if she were her own, and it shows in every interaction. Lulu gets so excited the moment we pull up to her house, which tells me everything I need to know. I have complete peace of mind whenever she's in her care and never worry for a second. It's such a comfort knowing my dog is loved, safe, and happy while I'm away. I can't recommend her enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Rugby on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Rugby commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 TN ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 195 sitters in Rugby, 88% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
