About: I am a corporate gal with a work from home job who loves pets of all types and sizes. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, and chickens and have spent time volunteering at animal shelters and caring for others’ pets since I was very young. I work from home, so my schedule is very adaptable. I take meetings or draft documents all day, with plenty of breaks in between for play time, potty time, or exercise for your pets. Since I am home with your pet while I work, they will be very well supervised. I have experience working and living with escape artists and know how to handle sneaky little friends!

“Isabella is fantastic! This was the first time I left my cat after he was in the hospital..and now on medication...I was very worried, however, after meeting Isabella I new the little furbaby was in good hands! She is very responsible, responsive and I loved her patience with Mittens. Thank you Rover and Isabella!”

“Nina was a fabulous drop in for my cat. She took great care of him, adapting to his needs, and managing the litter box, trash, and recycling. She even carefully cleaned up after him when he had a digestive glitch as cats sometimes do, without complaint and with genuine concern for his well being. Drop in photos were a delight and made me feel he was happy and comfortable. I trust her and will definitely book her again.”

About: Hi, I'm Alice! I live in Malden and I love spending time outdoors with dogs. I have owned a dog before, and I have also helped friends walk their medium-sized dogs. I exercise regularly, and I am comfortable with active dogs. I offer calm, one-on-one walks in Malden and nearby areas. I will follow your dog's normal routine, keep your dog on leash at all times, clean up after them, and make sure they have fresh water when we get back. I am also happy to do drop-in visits for feeding, fresh water, and a short play or potty break. After every walk or visit, I will send you photos and a short update, so you know how your dog did. I am patient, on time, and happy to meet you and your dog first with a free meet & greet. Please feel free to message me with any questions! > I'm a freelancer with a fully flexible schedule, so I'm available for dog walks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Whether you need an early-morning walk, a midday break, or a late-night outing, I can work around your dog's routine. I'm also happy to accommodate special requests and last-minute bookings, even over the holidays. Your dog's safety is always my top priority. On every walk, I double-check that the leash and harness are secure, keep your dog on leash at all times, and stay alert around traffic, other dogs, and anything unsafe on the ground. I follow your instructions closely, from the route and pace to treats and any special care needs. When I visit your home, I treat it with respect, make sure your dog is settled with fresh water, and lock up securely before I leave. I'll also send photos and updates after each walk so you always know how your pup is doing.
“Emily was extremely responsive and reassuring! She accommodated my super last minute request for cat care and was easy to communicate with. Thank you for everything and can’t wait to book with Emily again!”
“Samantha has watched our cats a couple of times now and it has been great! I feel very at ease knowing she is caring for them while I am away. Would recommend her to any cat parents looking for a sitter!”
About: I grew up with dogs and have done dog walking for people around the neighborhood. I will board and care for dogs for family or friends whenever they go on trip. I love dogs and always make sure to cater to their needs while keeping an open line of communication so their parents know how they are doing. I work full time as a nanny from 8 - 5 so I mostly do dog walks during the week and I have my weekends fully open. I have a large, two bedroom apartment and 2 cats and 1 dog who are all very friendly. I can board dogs who can be left alone for a couple of hours since either I or my husband are usually home. I start with observing the pets. Each animal has their own wants/needs and their own way of communicating it. It is important that I understand their cues to give them exactly what they need and gain their trust. I believe in an open line of communication and so, do my best to update the parents on how their furry friends are doing.
“Jordan was great checking in on my cat Poe! She was communicative, responsive, experienced and was able to give my cat his medication while I was away. She made everything very easy, highly recommend!”

Rebecca is wonderful! She is reliable, communicative, and clearly loves animals. I always feel completely comfortable knowing my cat is in her care. She takes the time to give her attention and affection, and I really appreciate the updates and photos while I’m away. I would absolutely recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
Anny was absolutely wonderful! She communicated clearly, was incredibly reliable, and took such great care of our cat, Milo. I’m very particular about who I trust with my cat, so it meant a lot to feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. She was attentive, caring, and clearly treated Milo like her own. I would absolutely book with Anny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter! Thank you, Anny!
I’ve trusted Monica more than once, and she is truly a wonderful pet sitter. She treats both your home and your pets as if they were her own, with so much care and love. It's such a comfort knowing everything is in great hands while you're away. I highly recommend her, and I will definitely continue to be a repeat customer!
Heather took such great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for 2 weeks! She made sure they got cuddles, food and play time and she helped with keeping them cool during heat waves. We felt very comforted knowing our boys were so well looked after. Heather is the best!!
Caroline was great! She came for a meet and greet to meet our kitties before the drop in sessions. I forgot to provide instructions for the lockbox and she was easy to work with the clarify. She was caring and followed instructions for our kitties. Already rebooked :)
Nicole continues to be the greatest cat sitter ever. We have booked her many times and trust her completely. She takes excellent care of our two cats, provides detailed photos and write ups, and cares for the house in unexpected ways on top of everything else.

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Saugus is $27 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $44 per visit. 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.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
