“Natali was able to take Chunk for a last minute visit and she could not have been more wonderful! Chunk had a great weekend with her and she was flexible, attentive, and took such great care of him.”
“Chanel was responsive and responsible and seemed to really enjoy having our pup. She’s very sweet and sends updates and pictures everyday. Our pup seemed to really enjoy her stay and we’d book Chanel again!”
“Jennifer was a wonderful care taker for our dog. She was patient and kind. Kept us updated on a longer stay. We will definitely use her services again. Thank you.”
“So grateful for how good they took care of our fur baby 🥹 Had some delays with our flight and they were so understanding! Igo is so adorable and I’m so happy Kai had a friend to play with!”
“Freddi took outstanding care of Penny!!! She has an idyllic setup for hosting and provided Penny a cozy and comfortable stay while we were out of town. We loved the photos Freddi sent every day - Penny was clearly right at home! Would definitely book again.”
“We are so grateful to have found Paul & Megan! From the meet & greet to Lilly's extensive 11 night stay, it was evident that Paul & Megan have a genuine care for dogs and treat them with love and individualized attention. The daily pictures and updates of Lilly's activites always brought a smile to our face and were reassuring that she was happy, safe and comfortable. We would highly recommend Paul & Megan and will definitely be using them whenever we need a sitter for Lilly.”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Linda! From the moment I met, it was clear how caring, reliable, and attentive she is. My furry baby was happy, well-exercised, and clearly comfortable the entire time I was away. Linda provided just enough regular updates and photos showing how cared for my baby was. It’s such a relief to know my baby was treated like family. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again and highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter.”
“Victoria was fantastic! She is super responsive, sent the best updates and made sure our pup was very well taken care of. Juno came home happy and tired. Even when I went for pick up they were out on a walk. Thank you Victoria for taking such good care of our girl. Will definitely book again!”
“Sahana was the best! Kept us updated the entire time and was extremely understanding. She made sure our pup was comfortable and made her feel right at home!! And Cinnamon was a great friend to our little pup as well. Will definitely rebook!”
“We had a last minute trip during a holiday weekend and reached out to Hunter who quickly agreed to take care of our 15 year old toy poodle. She was quick to respond and provided great communication during the entire care. Our dog also got along great with her dogs. Would use her again!”
“We left our 3 year old overly-energetic lab mix with John for 9 days while we traveled across country. This was our first time using Rover and our first time leaving our dog with someone other than doggy day care/friends. We were able to arrange a meet and greet before Amber’s stay so she could meet him as well as his two beautiful/loving dogs. His house is tidy and clean and his backyard exceeded my expectations with a nice high fence and space for the dogs to run out their energy. All my anxiety and nervousness about leaving her were immediately gone after the meet and greet. During her 9 day stay, we received several photos a day and I could tell from her (my dog’s) expression that she was genuinely loved and cared for by John and enjoyed the company of his dogs. We kept in touch regularly and we plan on booking Amber for another stay with him today (we literally just landed). Highly recommend John’s services if you’re in the market for someone to care for your dog!”
“Rose was very kind, courteous and accommodating. She took great care of Palmer snd he loved his stay with her. She sent me frequent updates about Palmer with plenty of pictures, something I truly appreciated. I’m glad we found Rose on Rover and would definitely book with her again”
“Monica was able to watch Davoust over Christmas this year on short notice and I am so grateful to her and her entire family. My dog Davoust felt like he was part of Monica's family. She provided photo and video updates several times a day so I was never worried or wondering how Davoust was doing. Davoust even made a good friend in Monica's dog. They seem inseparable when together.”
“Amy is fantastic!! This is our husband and I’s first experience with Rover and we will easily book with her again. She was easy to communicate with. Sent us updates with photos and videos and treated Pino like her own. She took him to many walks and let him play in their yard with her pup Bumi. Bonus that they’re close to the beach (perfect for an impromptu dog photoshoot). Thanks so much Amy!!!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have had three Shar Pei of my own. Shar Pei can be a challenging breed, and all three of mine experienced health issues over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, including administering medications. I no longer have a dog in my home and have recently been dog sitting for friends and family. I’ve enjoyed it so much that I decided it was time to expand! I truly enjoy having dogs around, taking them for walks and giving them plenty of attention. Your dog will be treated like part of my family, not a guest. I work outside of the home during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so daily walks are something I genuinely look forward to. When I’m home, your dog will be right there with me as part of the family. I have a fully fenced-in yard where your dog can safely spend time outside, and there are currently no other pets living in my home. This allows me to give your dog lots of individual attention and makes my home a comfortable option for dogs who may prefer not to be around other animals. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for dogs with health issues and special needs. I’ll also follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping and medication routine as closely as possible. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable and at home while you’re away.

Took care of Toby perfectly!! Super kind and you can tell they really treat your pet as their own!! Also super understanding with travel issues. Overall amazing!! Toby loved them and runs into their house!! This is barely the second time he’s stayed with them and he already feels at home
Alex was great! He was super communicative and tired Leo out every day. It’s also great that he has a big yard, we were so happy to see Leo running around in so much space. He sent lots of videos and photos which made us know Leo was in good hands. Would definitely book again!
Xinyue and Weihai were such wonderful hosts for my dog while I was away! They spent time making her feel comfortable in their home, cuddling and playing fetch with her in their large fenced yard. They were very responsive to any questions that I had and sent photos of her sleeping and playing. They themselves have a lovely golden retriever who provided extra companionship to my dog. Their home is in a quiet neighborhood close to the city and nature. We will definitely seek them out again for future travel trips! Thank you!
Parashar B. and his wife are the best! They took great care of Rocky for 5 days and sent me tons of updates, videos and photos each and every day! Incredibly easy to work with and great communication! Rocky had an incident during his stay there and they reacted and acted not only professionally but further more as Rocky was part of their family! I totally trust them and I would definitely book Parashar B. again!
Nice and caring my dog was overheating when I brought him cause it was so hot outside and Rijia was very gracious and welcoming and assured me he had things under control and sent me updates on my pup. He also sent me a video watching cartoons with my pup which was so funny. They had a fun time.
Amazing experience highly recommend He took such great care of Kaya and Bonny and made me feel very comfortable the whole time. He always sent me pictures and updates of them eating going potty and even playing. He kept me updated about everything and was very caring patient and attentive. You can tell he really loves dogs and treats them like his own. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and responsible
Jennifer was absolutely amazing with my 10 year old dog, Barclay! This was his first stay with her while I was away on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! She sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was obvious from every picture and message that Barclay was happy, relaxed, and being treated like part of the family. She even took him on little adventures, and I could tell he was having a great time. When I picked him up, he was healthy, happy, and completely himself, and I think he was wondering why the vacation had to end as he whined a bit when we left her! Jennifer is kind, attentive, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Leaving my dog behind is never easy, but Jennifer made it so much easier knowing he was in such caring hands. I absolutely will book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate sitter.

You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saugus home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Saugus.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Saugus sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

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 authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
