“Nataly was the perfect sitter. She ensured Simba was cared for and walked. He enjoyed his stay and got along well with Nataly and relaxed at her home. Would recommend to anyone.”
“Lovely couple with a two lovely dogs that Simba could play with,and a big backyard to share. They were really friendly and Simba seemed not inclined to leave them after his stay which says a lot. He came back to us happy and healthy after more than a week's stay. We would recommend Astrid to anyone.”
About: I have previously owned a dog and a cat, I enjoy being out walking and I have the time available to check in and look after your pet and give them the attention they need whilst looking after them. I am a Professional Engineer and work close to my house - making it easy to pop home a few times a day and tend to needs. Close to the area there are some good walking routes and I have more than ample time available. I have no pets currently myself and I will not look after multiple pets at once. My back garden is fenced and a lockable gate. The space is good for pets. They would be welcome to utilise the house as their own.
“Natalia was amazing with our 11 month old Rottweiler Bruce. He instantly was welcomed into such a calm environment. We were super nervous about leaving him for the first time. But we honestly felt so at ease leaving him with Natalia - he has come back home super chilled and tired. Highly recommend! Thank you so much again!”
“Jax had a lovely time - his first visit and there are more to come. Gemma and Will are great communicators and respond immediately to messages. Jax settled immediately and I was so reassured by all the photos that Gemma sent. A perfect safe environment for Jax with a gated fenced garden.”
“Mark and Sally are lovely and looked after Riley as if he were there own. They sent photos and videos to reassure us and see how happy and settled Riley was! Would highly recommend them 🐾🐶🩵”
“Valle had an overnight stay with Sharon & her lovely family & he was very well looked after & had lots of attention. Sharon sent photos & messages throughout the weekend keeping me updated which was lovely When we collected him you could see how happy & comfortable he was in the house & very much at home with Sharon & her family. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend & Valle is already booked in for a 2 night stay in August & i’m sure there’ll be many more. Thank you so much for caring for him & looking after him so well”
About: Up until last year when I moved into my flat, I've always lived with a dog since the age of 6 (I'm 30 now) and I've done the odd dog walking duties over the years from the age of 17 and always have time for the animals! I'm a full time worker so I'll ve an evening walker, although I finish Friday at 9:30am so more flexibility on Fridays I will always prioritise your pet’s safety, comfort and wellbeing, follow your care instructions carefully, and ensure they receive plenty of attention, affection and exercise appropriate to their needs.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of puppies and dogs over the years and have a fully-enclosed third of an acre garden, with direct access to field walks. I am semi-retired, doing a small amount of working from home, and I am looking to use the rest of the time to walk and play with dogs! Your dog will have full freedom to roam, play, and stretch out in the spacious garden and living area. For crate-trained dogs who need their 'safe haven' for naptime, I also have comfortable, open-door crates in various sizes available.

“Rhys is exceptional! We were left without any dogcare 3 days before we were due to go on holiday. Rhys messaged us back very quickly to let us know he had availability. He sent us regular updates about Arlo with lots of photos and videos. Arlo came home very tired but also a very happy pooch. Rhys is very passionate about what he does and truly cares about the dogs as if they were his own. We will now be using Rhys on a more regular basis and can’t recommend him enough.”
About: I grew up with dogs and my family bred border collies. I also worked for a local dog walking business in Daventry for over three years and I still miss some of the fury friends that I met! My garden is secure with high fences, and lots of grass to play on. I currently work part-time on a self employed basis, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your dogs! I am available Monday - Sunday. I have a fenced garden with grass and a secure property. I have a large kitchen / dining room where your dog can sleep, and I will be flexible with nervous dogs.

Amy was amazing with Netti, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she gave her. She was so kind, attentive, and clearly made Netti feel comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated all the updates she sent while I was away—it was so reassuring to see that Netti was happy and in such good hands. Amy was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which made everything so easy for me. I’d absolutely trust her with Netti again and would recommend her without hesitation!
Eri, you’re fantastic. You kept us up to date with our dog, Boomer and made sure he was well looked after, cuddled and loved. Will most definitely be using you again if we ever need him to go and stay somewhere. Thank you so much for taking very good care of him for us. Every day there was constant communication to let me know how he was, how he slept, how he behaved and what he was up to. This was my first time using someone outside of the family and I’m so appreciative of Eri, her Husband and her dog Boo, the little cutie. Honestly, thank you so so much ❤️
Laura was very friendly and communicated from start to finish really well. It was a real help being able to meet Laura before hand as we had never had a dog sitter before. Lola was made to feel welcome at their home and settled in straight away, thank you for making the process so easy Lola had a great time.
Woody and Sushi had a wonderful 10-day with Jessica and Olly - I will be using them again in the future, and highly recommend them. They were incredibly flexible to take them on when my planned sitter failed me a couple of days before my overseas trip. They were quick to respond and arrange a M&G to finalise details. The stay was as if they were heat home, felt very relaxed and loved their stay.
Katie has looked after our dog Oakley for a second time and we couldn't be more grateful to have found a wonderful sitter for him. He is looked after so well and Katie really cares for him so we feel that we can rest easy knowing he is in safe hands. I am certain Oakley absolutely loves staying with Katie and her family and doesn't want to go home at the end of his stay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Rugby is £37 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between £29 and £47 per night.
On Rover, sitters 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 1,526 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across the city of Rugby. About 93% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 1,526 sitters in Rugby, 71% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
