About: My name is Rhiann and I am 32 years old. I live in Rugby and have been caring for pets for around 7 years officially, however have been helping friends and family out since I was 16! I can provide lots of references from current and past pet owners who have used my service. I am friendly, reliable and easy going- no job is too big or too small, I will endeavour to fulfil any requirements you may have! I am very flexible so will always try my best to fit your requirements into my daily schedule to the best of my ability. No job is too big or too small, I treat all pets like my own and endeavour to send photos and videos to owners every single visit. I regularly had repeat clients and look forward to seeing my furry friends time and time again! To chat, please get in touch! :) I will always aim to visit your pets between 7am and 9am on my way to my main job as a primary school teacher. I will ensure pets are fed and left with clean water bowls and litter trays for the day. I am happy to stay and play/have cuddles (if this is something your cats enjoy of course!) before heading off for the day. I will then aim to return between 5pm and 7pm for evening checks. Cats will be fed, litter cleaned and water refreshed. This is my main opportunity to spend some time with the kitties that need it, and it’s the part of the day I enjoy the most! I can administer mediation and leave treats at the discretion of the owner. Also happy to do little jobs such as draw curtains/blinds, open or close cat flaps, but bins out etc! I will always follow the instructions of the pet owner to ensure the animals usually daily routine is adhered to to the best of my ability. No request is too big or too small; if it’s what the pet needs I’ll be happy to oblige!
About: Hi! I am a friendly, caring and reliable professional. I recently moved to Rugby from London, where I looked after lots of cats in my local area through Cat in a Flat. I grew up with animals and have had pets all of my life. I have gorgeous ginger cat of my own at home, who is a big character, but I love to make other feline friends! I am looking forward to hearing from you! I work from home most of the week, so can usually be flexible and will try to visit at the best times for your cat's routine. I am also happy to look after dogs and other small animals. I am led by the cat and will respect their space if they are shy. I like to understand the cat's personality and build trust with them at their pace. I try to keep to the cat's routine as much as possible and make sure they feel cared for even while their owner is away. I am respectful of the owner's home and make sure to keep everything tidy and lock up securely!
About: I currently have my own pet sitting business, with DBS checks, insurance and I am first aid qualified. I offer different kinds of visits, catered to your dogs needs, whether a quick pop in, a sniff walk or a ramble in their favourite wood. I will happily send over lots of photos and videos of your pet having the best time for your peace of mind. I offer a free meet & greet before any visit to make sure I know your pet's routine and preferences, as I like to be able to offer care that they are already used to. I am also an avid cat lover, having been the butler to my rescue boy, Floof for 8 years. I have had cats in my life growing up and once took in a mama and her 3 babies, whilst having 2 already established in my house. It was chaos and I loved every second. I am up with the birds most mornings , so can happily do early morning visits and walks. I can come straight after work for a longer visit or walk if needed. I prefer to care for your pets in your own home, giving them the security and familiarity they need. I am happy to take them on their regular walks or home visits.
“Jessica so obviously loves pooches! Her updates made us feel relaxed about having left Ness for the first time. Will have no hesitation booking her again so we can go away in the knowledge our baby will be very well looked after and snuggled😍🐶”

About: I’ve had my own dogs and cats for the past 8 years now and loved every minute from walking, to bathing and snuggling! Alongside this I’ve pet sitter for several friends and family while they’ve been away on holiday or just out for the day, getting to look after other peoples pets as well as my own is something I enjoy as I get to make even more furry friends. I currently work from home a few days a week so have lots of free time within the day, where I am happy to fit in a cuddle or two with your pet, to help out with your own routine! Whilst being able to work around my own hybrid job. Since I am currently only providing drop-ins and walks, I will be using your own facilities and equipment, including crates, leads and whatever else you would usually use to make your pet as comfortable as possible.
“Annie was absolutely wonderful. She took such thoughtful care of my cats and my home while I was away, and kept me regularly updated, which was incredibly reassuring and meant I could relax knowing everything was in such capable hands. She was attentive, reliable and clearly genuinely cared about making sure the cats were happy and well looked after. I came home to very content cats and a beautifully cared-for home. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Annie again and am very grateful for the care, consideration and excellent communication throughout. Highly recommended.”


About: I've taken care of dogs “professionally” ever since I’ve been 14 years old. This also doesn’t include the fact I have grown up with them during childhood. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have a senior dog myself since she’s been a puppy I’ve been there for all her care and support necessary including surgery recovery. When your dog stays with me, you can expect plenty of care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any other needs you’ve shared with me. I am home full time I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your dog is happy and settled. Before the booking, we can go over your dog’s routine, personality, likes and dislikes, and anything else that will help them feel at home. My goal is to make their time with me as relaxed, fun, and comfortable as possible! I have a large, fully fenced garden where dogs can enjoy some secure outdoor time, as well as plenty of space inside the house. My own dog, Narla, stays downstairs, which means visiting dogs can be kept separate when needed. There is also a safe, comfortable space upstairs where dogs can have some quiet time away from Narla and relax in their own space. I’m happy to use a crate if your dog is crate-trained and you provide their usual crate. I can also provide one-on-one walks, so dogs can be walked separately if they are more comfortable that way or if this is part of their normal routine. I’ll always take your dog’s individual personality, routine, and comfort level into account and make sure they have a safe and calm environment throughout their stay.
“Once again Chris and Colin rise above all other sitters. There is not one trepidation leaving our Husky with them. I almost hate to post this (our own selfish reasons), but book early as their sitting schedule books up well into to new year. You will be glad you did.”


About: I have always looked after animals since a young age. I have a family Springador who is now 9 years old and a 2 year old Cockapoo who is also a family dog (but do not live with me). I miss going on more regular dog walks so I am looking forward to meeting lots of new fur-friends! I love being outdoors and regularly go on walks - so why not exercise the dogs at the same time! I work from home so I enjoy getting out and about during the week and at weekends. I work from home 4 days a week and regularly go on walks either in the morning, at lunch or in the evening (depending on the weather). I am also around at weekends. I have a secure grass garden and hard floors downstairs. There is also space for a crate or dog bed and the house can be made dog-friendly when required.

About: I have experience caring for my own cat and her kittens. I’m a caring and responsible person who loves animals and would always treat your pet with patience, kindness and attention. I work full-time, but I live with my mum, so there is almost always someone at home to keep your pet company. Also, I have two kids, they love animals I live in a detached house with a secure, fully fenced garden, providing a safe and comfortable environment where pets can relax, play and feel at home.
“Luke is really good with dogs, he knows what they need, what they like. Cooper is big blind boy but we knew that we can go on holiday with clear mind. He also cared about our garden which we highly appreciate. Cooper absolutely love Luke! He is missing him already. We can recommend Luke if anyone needs help with dog!”


“10/10 would hire again! Lovely lady, looked after our precious boy and our home for almost 2 weeks. Photo updates every evening and even left us some printed photos of our chunky lad being majestic. Honestly couldnt ask for a better sitter.”

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.
“What can we say about Martina very friendly and professional went above and beyond really especially for the times she arrived to care for Daisy. Martina is lovely and was very good with Daisy who appeared very happy in the photos that Martina sent to us which reassured us she was being well looked after and Daisy had plenty of excercise. Daisy is very much in the moment when walked Martina was unfazed by this and has taught her some great manners so thanks for that. Daisy loved Martina and had a great time and she was looking for her this morning when we got up so that's a big plus. It was the first time we had left Daisy so was slightly nervous but there was no need she was in good hands and I will definitely be asking for Martina next time we plan a trip. Thanks again Martina your a star.”

About: Hi! I’m a caring and reliable primary school teacher based in Rugby, with a genuine love for animals and experience looking after pets of all ages and personalities. My job means I’m organised, responsible and used to following routines, which I know is really important when caring for someone’s pet. I’m patient, calm and attentive, whether that’s providing a good walk, providing lots of cuddles, or making sure a pet feels comfortable and settled. I understand that every pet is different, so I take time to get to know their individual needs, habits and personality. I’m happy caring for older pets, supporting medication routines where needed, and providing a safe, loving environment while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and happiness will always be my priority, and I’ll treat them as if they were my own 😊 Also available on bank holidays and most half terms! I’m currently available throughout the summer holidays and have lots of flexibility for pet care, including mornings, afternoons, evenings and weekends. I’ll be away from 15th–18th August, but otherwise I’m happy to discuss bookings and find a time that works for you and your pet. From September, I’ll be returning to my role as a primary school teacher, so my availability will mainly be before and after school, as well as weekends. I’ll always make sure I can fully commit to your pet’s needs and provide reliable, loving care. Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. As a primary school teacher, I’m responsible, organised and used to following routines carefully. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I’ll treat both with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m calm, patient and attentive, taking time to understand each pet’s personality, needs and usual routine. I’m happy to provide updates, follow your instructions closely and make sure your pet feels safe, settled and loved while you’re away.

Katherine was great with our Bruno. We came home to a spotless house and more importantly a happy dog who has previously been stressed when we’ve left him so we’re really happy to have found someone who takes as good care of our dog as we would! Thank you Katherine

Josh was fantastic! It was my first time leaving my dog Milu with a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. He sent daily updates and photos, which really put my mind at ease. Milu clearly had a great time and was well cared for. The house was left spotless too! I’ll definitely be booking with Josh again for my next holiday — it’s such a relief knowing I won’t have to worry about finding a sitter anymore. Highly recommend him!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Rugby on Rover is £31 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £17 and £49 per night.

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.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Rugby walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Rugby, the price of house sitting can vary between £17 and £49 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Rugby maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for 'WFH' sitters: Many sitters mention 'Work from Home' on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical 'away' windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
