“This was Maples first experience of day care! She has come home nice and sleepy, the was dodging getting in the car she had such a good time. Will definitely use Sophie and Adam again!”
“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!!”
“Bay looked after our puppy for about 8-9 hours and was brilliant. She was clear and easy to communicate with from the start. She kept sending photos through the day. We'll definitely be using her sevice again.”
“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 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.
About: As a dentist and MSc Global Health student, I'm calm, responsible, and attentive to detail. I've loved animals since childhood, and caring for them is a genuine passion rather than just a job. I take the time to understand each pet's routine and personality, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care is part of my daily routine—I schedule walks, playtime, feeding, and rest consistently, ensuring each pet receives attention, love, and balanced care every week. I provide a safe, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard and two gentle dogs for company. Crating available if needed, ensuring comfort, safety, and trust.
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.
“Our dog George had an amazing time with Katie and the others dogs she was sitting for. We had lots of updates throughout the day. He was shattered when I picked up, a sign of a fun filled active day! Thank you for having him”
“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 experience caring for small to medium-sized dogs and understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and individual needs. I enjoy getting to know each dog and making sure they feel comfortable, safe and settled while they are in my care. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone you can trust. I’m comfortable following your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and rest, and I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you know how they’re getting on. Dogs staying with me will have company throughout the day, access to our secure, fully fenced garden and a nearby park for walks and fresh air. I provide a calm, caring family environment where your dog can relax and feel at home while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m home every day and available to care for dogs throughout the day. I have the usual school drop-off and pick-up during term time, but otherwise I’m at home, so dogs will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. We also have a secure fenced garden and a park within walking distance for walks and exercise. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority. I have a secure, fenced garden and a safe, comfortable family home where dogs can relax and feel at home. I have my own friendly Chihuahua, so I’m very used to having dogs around the house and understand the importance of introducing dogs gradually and making sure they are comfortable together. I also have two young children, so I only accept friendly dogs that are comfortable around children. I will always discuss your dog’s personality, routine and needs before accepting a booking. I’m home throughout the day apart from school drop-offs and pick-ups, meaning your dog will have plenty of company and supervision. I’m also happy to keep you updated with photos and messages during their stay.

Nataly was great to work with and took really good care of our shy dog. She was really responsive and accommodating to our schedule. She also sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the day to let us know our pup was doing well. Nataly is extremely professional, kind and someone who really loves animals. Would definitely recommend her and plan to book her again.
Natalia is an exceptional sitter, her communication is fantastic Including daily updates of Buddy. He requires medication and is a bit older which was no problem and he has been looked after so well. He was soon wining at the door each time I dropped him off as he could not wait to spend the day with Natalia and her lovely dog. I had some issues with timings due to starting a new job and Natalia has been incredibly helpful with this which has made things so much easier. I would ecommend to anyone.
This was our first time using this service and Adam and Sophie were the perfect sitters! Rollo had a wonderful time with them, we were given regular updates and photos throughout the day which gave us peace of mind. We would 100% recommend these guys if you are looking for a sitter, thank you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Rugby on Rover is £28.75 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,511 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.
