“Thank you for taking such great care of Tashi. Each morning she's at your door wagging her tail, for the day ahead. Always greats communication with photos throughout the day”
“I would highly recommend Nataly to anybody that would need somebody to look after their dog or puppy while at work. She has sent photos and given updates throughout both days Luna has been with her so far, and has also given me some tips on how to keep her burning energy even when she is eating, which is great considering Luna is a very energetic 9 week old puppy. This was my first time arranging anything like this, so I was anxious at first but I am very glad that I have found Nataly to look after Luna. Luna has come back home happy each time and I will definitely be arranging more days for Luna to see Nataly!!”
About: With years of hands on experience with my own dogs, I treat every dog like my own- offering patience, love and reliable care. I focus on building trust, understanding each dog’s personality, and making their time away from you stress-free. I have retired early from a long teaching career so I now have time on my hands to pursue other pleasures in life. My time is pretty flexible now on a weekly basis for daily dog walks and short or longer dog boarding in our lovely home. Our home has a walled secure garden. Dogs are free to roam around downstairs and come and go into the garden as they please. The kitchen tends to be the favourite place as there’s a warm range cooker on at all times. I also have a crate for dogs if they need a little space or time out! I have two elderly mini schnauzer’s and a old black lab who are all very laid back!
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 very 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. My dogs are fully vaccinated including kennel cough.
“Jessica has been amazing and I cannot speak highly enough regarding the fantastic care she has given to my 2 dogs. This is the first time Ive left them, and I was worried about whether it was the right thing to do. Jessica quickly allayed any fears. We had a meet and greet the day before, and went out for a walk to get to know each other. Jessica is very personable, easy to chat to, and most of all so gentle and caring with dogs. I left them feeling confident about the fact they would be well looked after, and they were. I got lots of updates and pictures throughout the day, and when I went to pick up my dogs there were calm and relaxed. I would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Jessica”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was little and have always been surrounded by cats!! I started a mini dog walking hustle when I was in secondary school and became quite the little entrepreneur around the neighbourhood I’m currently pregnant and working part time so have plenty of spare time on my hands that I’d love to take up with some much loved animal time!! I have a large house with a big spacious garden. I live very near a field so there’s lots of room for exercise and have some great walks around me??
“Amy and Tristan made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met them. They are friendly and caring and kept me updated throughout Koah’s stay. Koah came home happy and worn out after nice walks in the local woods! I would recommend and will definitely be using them again. Thank you!”
About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my childhood, and now I have moved out of home and bought my own place, I’m looking to help others with their furry bestie. I work from home during the week on a flexible work pattern, so I’m able to pop out and attend to your dogs needs when necessary. I have a fenced garden (with grass!) and a camera outside the house for extra protection. I work downstairs so your dog will never feel like they are alone.
“This was Brodie’s second visit and he ran straight to Adam and was so happy to see him. The mix of dogs is really nice and Brodie is very well looked after. We feel really lucky to have found Adam and think that the whole positive experience is doing Brodie a lot of good. Love the photos and updates too! Thanks so much.”
“Sharon & her family are lovely, kind genuine people. Valle was very happy staying with them & looked after very well. Sharon kept me updated & sent photos. Would definitely recommend her services, it’s obvious she’s a dog lover & her home has a lovely calm, relaxed atmosphere - Valle will definitely be back to stay with them.”
About: I have lots of experience with all kinds of dogs! I personally have a 2 year old huntaway (so I can handle big dogs). I have been trusted to care for my friends and families dogs for years. I have experience with big dogs especially but have experience looking after little dogs and puppies too. I’m currently at university studying nursing. I am in uni twice a week so the rest of the week I am free. So I am able to care for your dogs 5 days a week! I would take the dogs on a long walk and play with them lots so they will get lots of love and exercise. I have lots of free time so your pooch will have my undivided attention.

Natalia (and the lovely golden lab Nala) took great care of our Mylo over a few days and each morning he could not wait to go see them and play ☺️ He went on nice walks and ate all his supplied food and had the obligatory whippet naps in comfort. Big shout out to her sister Julia (who is also on Rover) for some fantastic photos too. We have put some up on @mylo.the.whippet on instagram. Very accommodating to early pre work drop off, 5 star care, communication and one happy and tired pup each evening. Would heartily recommend!
Kelly was fantastic. She was approachable yet professional and personable also. She put me at ease immediately with updates / photos and videos. Kelly’s own dog Rupert played with our puppy beautifully and gently all day. I would highly recommend Kelly for booking and we have already booked future dates with her. Thanks so much again Kelly.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Rugby on Rover is £28.75 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 .
There are 1,461 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Rugby. About 87% of Rugby sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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 collection 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 collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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 .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
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 .
