“As per usual Julie was amazing! Maia nearly darts out the door to greet her she's so excited when she hears the car pull up in the morning! The pick up/drop off is super helpful and very much appreciated!”
“Tara is great and very sweet. My dog loved her and she kept me up to date on his day. I have used her previously and will continue in the future. I recommend highly recommend her.”
“Kissie took great care of our nervous dog, We were passing through town for a few days and needed someone to watch her so we could sightsee. I saw other reviews that said Kissie was good with anxious pets. Kiddie was very responsive and send lots of pictures and video! Plus she’s conveniently located near downtown.”
“Derek is very communicative and attentive. He has a great introduction and integration system for his new dogs. It allows them to take their time acclimating to the new environment and only meet the other dogs once they’re calm and ready. Derek responds promptly and sends pictures throughout the stay. We felt confident leaving Cadbury with him and will do so again. He returned home calm, happy, and satisfied.”
“Amber is so very sweet to my dog (Honey), I thought I would have to call off work because I couldn't find anyone to watch my sweet girl. Amber truly is a lifesaver thank you so much 😊”
About: I've grown up with all kinds of animals, cats and dogs. I have two dogs of my own currently, with the oldest being 11 and I've had him since he was 6weeks old. I dog and cat sit frequently for friends, in their home or they come to me if they want to. I always treat each animal as their own individual with their own personality and take time to pay attention and learn what they need, like, don't like, etc. Your animals will always be safe with me. I work from home so am able to be flexible. Your animals can always come stay with me if you need them to or I can stay with them if they are more comfortable in their own space. In my home, I have a fenced in yard and two dog-friendly dogs for play dates. In client/friends home, I will follow whatever rules or needs you have for your pets. I'm comfortable giving all kinds of care, medicine, etc.
“Dennis was wonderful keeping Henry while I had to go to the office. He took him on lots of walks and even bought him some treats since I forgot to take them. Henry came home tired and happy!”
“Kee is an absolute blessing for our girl, Bailee. She was quick to respond, set up a meet and greet with her pups, and accommodated to my crazy schedule as I needed. Throughout the day she sends me photos of her playing, napping, and doing what dogs do that ultimately gives me peace of mind while I work. We have truly found a lifelong friend in her and both Bailee and I are beyond grateful ?”

“We were passing through town and wanted to check out the Civil Rights Museum but needed somewhere for our dog to hang out. Kiara was great with our pup and he was happy and well cared for when we picked him up!”
About: Welcome! I’m glad that you are interested in my pet care services. High energy dog? Hunting dog? Disc dog? Herding dog? Running partner dogs? I am currently offering daily walks and playtime for your dog! I believe in play and recreation with pets. I have 2 dogs that are active and friendly and when I travel I wonder about them getting the sporty trail runs and neighborhood jogs. I’m currently training (running) for low distance races (aka not marathons) and enjoy walking pets that need higher endurance outdoor play. Please let us know if this is your pup. We can only offer 1 dog per run. No group runs. Please have medical clearance before submitting your dog for runs. From pet owner to pet owner, I provide five star luxury services and solutions for your pet and you! I also use green/organic cleaning products in my home! In general,if I can do it, I will! Want your dog to get outside for some fresh air and fun? Contact me! Do you need an extended stay? I do that, too! I want to make sure you and your best friend always have a clean, friendly second home at ours. A few notes: -We require meet and greets for all dogs. Meet and greets are held on Saturday and Sunday mornings only. We require meet and greets for the safety of our pet, our client's pets, and yours. - We are professionals and work from office and remote depending on the day. However, your dog will not be locked away for extended hours. - We are happy to work with senior dogs, but have limited training on severe medical conditions and/or special needs. We want you to feel great about your pup's care while you're away. We are happy to provide medicine. -We are a pretty active household so this could cause anxiety for dogs that have medical issues that limit their activity. -Please, be sure to read about Rover Terms and Conditions. We don't "hold" spots. You will need to book. I’m home full time and able to be flexible on walking and drop off/pick up. We aim to stick with your routine as much as possible. Please book with preference for time. I have a fenced in yard with two dogs that are friendly and playful with other dogs. We use green products and only approved treats. Hydration is provided post run.
“Min is great! She babysat my dog for a day in her home, and she sent me a ton of pics of Ollie looked like he was having a blast, playing in her backyard, going on walks, and relaxing. I can tell that he had a great time with Min and her family. I'd love to have Min watch Ollie again!”
“This was a most excellent choice for Stella. Friendly people, friendly dogs, they had treats, they played in the back yard together. We'll do this again. Thank you Shoshana !! Stella said woof woof. !!”
“Jenny was great! They took such great care of Camper and sent us pictures and updates throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her to anyone nervous about leaving their pets with a new person for the first time! We will be booking her again in the future.”

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!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Rugby
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Rugby on Rover is $49.95 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 201 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Rugby. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 201 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.
