About: I love my dogs more than life. I really believe these are not just pets, but family members and thus I know how heartbreaking it is when you have to leave your dog alone even for a quick run to the store. We would like to help your dog with not feeling alone. I am a dog mom of 2 miniature dachshunds and I know how horrible separation anxiety is, thus I would like to give your dog the possibility to ease the feeling. I do not leave my dogs alone, thus I am taking dog care extremely important. I am working hybrid. I will only offer daycare or boarding on days I am home with my own dogs. My dogs are very friendly and playful. But an initial meeting is required to make sure everyone is happy. I go on 2 long walks daily out to exhaust them. We have plenty of toys and enjoy some cuddles as well as playtime together. I live in a house with a fenced garden and I installed a doggy door, so my dogs have access to it 24/7. As I have dachshunds, we have plenty of ramps and doggy steps to ensure their backs are protected.
“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.”
“Sharon took wonderful care of my dog, Ari. She really took the time to understand Ari’s needs and made sure he felt comfortable and happy during his stay. Her communication was good. Sharon kept me updated throughout, which gave me great peace of mind. I’m grateful for the care she provided, and I will definitely continue to use Sharon’s services in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Wala was very responsive when, at relatively short notice, we needed someone to look after our two cocker spaniels, Tripp and Tobi. Importantly, all the administration and scheduling was clear and precise. The dogs were afforded plenty of time to settle into their warm and very welcoming environment before I departed. They were relaxed, happy and content when I picked them up. Wala and Tony clearly have a lot of experience with dogs of all natures and it was a pleasure to make their acquaintance. Thoroughly recommended.”
About: I’ve been looking after dogs for friends and family for years, often for extended periods while they’re away on holiday. It’s not just quick check-ins, I regularly have dogs for full weeks at a time, so I’m very used to taking on full responsibility for their care and routine. I’ve cared for a mix of breeds, sizes, and personalities, from energetic dogs that need plenty of exercise and stimulation, to more relaxed or older dogs who prefer a slower pace and lots of comfort. What sets me apart is how naturally this fits into my lifestyle. I genuinely enjoy having dogs around, so they’re not just being “looked after”, they’re part of a calm, safe, and friendly environment where they get plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I’m confident sticking to feeding schedules, walks, and any specific routines your dog is used to, and I understand how important it is for them to feel settled while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy and in good hands. I run my own business from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to prioritise pet care throughout the day. This means I can offer regular check-ins, walks, feeding, and plenty of quality time with your pet rather than just quick visits. Whether your dog needs exercise and routine, or your cat prefers a calm presence and consistency, I can easily adapt my schedule to suit them. Because I’m not tied to fixed working hours, I’m able to provide reliable, attentive care and be responsive to your pet’s needs. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. I understand how important routine and environment are, especially for cats, and I make sure to keep everything as familiar and stress-free as possible. With lifelong experience caring for animals, including breeding cats and currently caring for a 15-year-old cat, I’m confident handling a range of needs from energetic dogs to more independent or senior pets. I’m comfortable following specific routines, including feeding, walking, litter care, and administering medication if required. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality so they feel safe and settled. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing they’re in experienced, trustworthy hands.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life and have hands-on experience caring for a variety of breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I offer home boarding, daycare, and pop-in visits, always making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have two friendly, well-socialised dogs of my own—a Springer Spaniel (Woody) and a Sprocker (Hugo)—who are used to being around other dogs. I also have two children (aged 10 and 6) who are gentle and respectful with animals. Because of this, I only accept dogs that are friendly and comfortable around both children and other dogs. Your dog will be welcomed into a loving family home with plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship. I treat every dog as if they were my own and aim to provide a calm, safe, and happy environment while you’re away, with regular updates for your peace of mind We both have flexible jobs, which means one of us is often at home and able to give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and care throughout the day. Dogs may be left for short periods when needed, so they should be comfortable being alone for a little while. Our daily routine includes lots of walks, playtime, and plenty of fuss alongside our own dogs, so your dog will be part of a happy, active home environment. We provide a safe, loving home with a secure fenced garden for outdoor play. We have two friendly, well-socialised dogs who are used to having other dogs around and help new dogs settle in. All dogs are supervised carefully, with calm introductions to make sure everyone is comfortable. We’re happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, exercise, and any specific needs, and can crate if required. Our home is clean, relaxed, and focused on making sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Jaimee looked after my boy while i was on holiday, upon getting there freddie automatically seemed comfortable and was exploring the home, i got updates all throughout, he got love and cuddles all the time as he would at home and when i picked him up he was so so happy i was 100% happy with the love and care freddie got, will definitely use again”
“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!”
“Kiwi had such a good time over Christmas. There were no issues and great communication throughout. I felt super comfortable leaving my puppy with Becky and her family. Will definitely book again!”
“I booked Chloe at short notice after another arrangement fell through, and from her first message I knew Yoji would be in safe hands as she asked all the right questions. I received regular photos and videos, and came home to a very happy, tired pup. I’d happily book with Chloe again.”
“Leanne and her family are amazing. She definitely goes above and beyond to make Olly welcome into her home and put my mind at rest. Regular updates with photos was much appreciated. Would highly recommend and definitely use again”

Nataly is a wonderful kind and caring person who looked after our dog Riley as though he was her own. We had numerous photo's and videos of Riley on a daily basis and we could tell from them that Riley was well looked after. We would fully recommend Nataly as a house sitter for you to care and look after your animal(s). We have found a new friend in Nataly and wish her all the best for the future. We have used dog sitters regularly and Nataly is OUTSTANDING. we would highly recommend her and will always ask her first when we need another sit
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!
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!
Gemma and Will have been incredible, Bruno is everything to us and we really struggled leaving him but we received updates everyday and Bruno absolutely loved his time with them, thankyou so much you really made our holiday so special knowing he was being looked after so well ❤️ xx
I had such a great experience with Julia as my dog sitter! She took wonderful care of my mini dachshund overnight and treated him as if he were her own. Julia is very detailed and attentive, which gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pup was in good hands. I also really appreciated her flexibility — being able to pick up my dog as early as 8am was a huge help for my schedule. I would definitely recommend Julia to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter, and I’ll be happy to book with her again!
Great first overnight experience for Woody with Orla. Meg and Rhys kept us updated on how he was getting on throughout his stay and he had a brilliant time. I was slightly apprehensive as he has never spent so much time with another dog and I wasn't sure how he would behave but it looks like he has a new best friend. I think it has been really good for him. Look forward to the next stay.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Rugby
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Rugby on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,472 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Rugby. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Sitters in West Midlands may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
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.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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 .
