“Gienna is such a fantastic dog sitter! She made our dog feel right at home, and provided excellent communication about our pup. We will hope to send our dog to her for future pet sitting needs!”
“Xinyue and Weihai were most accommodating and responsive during a last minute stay. Indy had a great time and I felt most assured of his care while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Samantha was great with both me and my dog. This was my first Rover booking and she and her husband were super accommodating and took great care of Della: taking her on walks, making sure the cats stayed away and giving her cuddle time (with kids❤️). Would book again if i was in the area.”
“We can't thank Lori G. enough for taking care of our precious pups while we were on vacation! Lori provided frequent updates including multiple pictures and videos which made us feel connected to our pups while away! She kept our pups active by bringing them on walks and played with them inside and outside her home in her fenced in back yard! Lori G. is a wonderful person with a special love for dogs, and quite evident that our pups were more than well cared for!!! We most certainly will have Lori G. take care of our pups again!!! Thank you so much Lori G. (:-)”
“Natali was great! She watched my pooch for me last minute and ensured he was comfortable and well taken care of after being neutered a few days prior. Would definitely recommend and book her again!”
“Elliot and Jo were terrific with our 16 mo old Samoyed, who has a lot of energy and can be super anxious. When I picked up Casper, I could tell he felt at home with Elliot and Jo and that they had made him feel safe and loved. They care about the dogs they board, and I hope to leave Casper with them again in the future.”
“Alex was amazing! Our friend couldn't take our 14yo poodle over the weekend due to a previous commitment, we had a conference to attend and time was running out. I found Rover.com and thought we'd see what it was all about. Thankfully the stars aligned and Alex's profile popped up as being close by and he was available. We scheduled a call to talk about Lucky. It was important to us to find the right fit for our 14 yo rescue. Once I read through Alex's reviews and talked to him, I knew he was definitely the perfect fit for us and Lucky. We set a visit so they could meet prior to our trip and Lucky immediately felt comfortable with Alex. Alex sent updates several times a day and a video of Lucky playing and going for a walk. He knew it was really me that was the nervous one ☺. Lucky had the time of his life, made a new friend and we definitely have Alex on speed dial now. Being able to find someone your dog immediately feels comfortable with takes a weight off your shoulders and knowing they're in good hands and having fun allowed us to attend our conference without worry. Thank you Alex - you rock!”
“Aurora and her husband took great care of my pup Miley. They send me so many updates throughout the day of her stay. Miley and Maddie played so much that she came home tired and happy. I’m looking forward to Miley’s next vacation at there place. Thanks so much.”
“Akhil and his wife took wonderful care of our goldendoodle Daisy. They gave her lots of attention, affection, and snacks. We received regular photo and video updates every day and felt like we were there with them!”
“I cannot say enough great things about Natasha and Jonathan! My puppy Luna (80lb, 1 year old lab mix) spent 6days and 5nights with them and they sent regular pictures and video updates. I could tell Luna was having the absolute best time and I was able to have a good vacation because I knew Luna was being well taken care of. We also did one test day before the longer stay and after that one day I knew Natasha and Jonathan were a great fit. Both times when I’ve picked her up she’s been happy and calm and very tired out from all the walks and playing. They were also super flexible with drop off and pick up times and communication was very easy. I would 1,000% recommend Natasha and Jonathan to absolutely anyone and I will definitely be booking with them 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.”
“Vanessa and her partner took great care of my little Mochi for a week and half. They went above and beyond what i would expect from any dog sitter. They made sure to exercise Mochi multiple times a day. They also taught my little one new tricks! Truly amazing. I had also left Mochi with a set of new treats I was hoping she would enjoy. Unbeknownst to all of us, Mochi ended up getting some diarrhea from those treats. Luckily, Vanessa was able to weed out the culprit very quickly, allowing Mochi to regain her appetite after discarding the treats. Vanessa made sure to send me plenty pictures and videos of my little one. Mochi felt right at home with them. I can't stress enough what a blessing it has been to have Vanessa take care of my little one in my absence. :D”
“Chanel was incredible - my first time leaving my pup with someone other than family! My pup definitely gave her a run for her money with some weird behaviors but she was incredibly patient and communicative. Lots of updates, photos, and videos throughout the week. Will absolutely book again!!”
“Jennifer is the best that could have happened to our puppy. She is incredibly caring, attentive and responsible. She was constantly in touch with us and sent photos. She treated everything the puppy needed with understanding and great attention. Highly recommend Jennifer for your dog.”
“This was Jhoanna’s 2nd time watching Olive and she was the best! She sent a ton of photos and always responded so quickly. We look forward to having her watch Olive again in the future.”
“We continue to be very happy with Paul and Megan’s care of our senior dog, Kenobi. They go above and beyond and we are always confident he is in good hands. Communication is excellent and we always get nice updates with pictures or videos. We will continue booking with them as much as we can!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saugus
We are new to the area and were a bit worried about finding a new sitter for our dog, but Xinyue and Weihai put my mind at ease right away! They provided us with updates throughout the stay and our dog, Gibbs, returned home happy and tired after playing with Igo. They were also very flexible with our drop off/pick up times due to some flight delays. Highly recommend!
Our dogs Enzo and Gordi stayed with Lori for three days this month and loved it! Lori has a great setup with a nice fenced-in yard, and clearly has a lot of experience and dog sense. We enjoyed getting frequent photo and video updates – our boys were clearly having a great time! We've already booked our next stay with Lori!
Kerri did a great job watching my Penny for a little over one week. I was worried to leave her as I have never done so before, but she seemed to fit right in! She made fast friends with the other dogs at Kerri's house and came home utterly exhausted from all the playful time. Would definitely book again 🥰
Susan was just amazing !!! She kept a clear communication between Mayas day to day activities and even made her home made treats!! Maya was just having fun and looked like she was the one on vacation instead of me!! Absolutely recommend Susan and will definitely keep her as my top pick!!! Thanks Susan !!
Mike and his wife were so wonderful to our dog Nela! It was our first time leaving her for more than a day and I was extremely nervous about it but it was honestly the best experience for us and for Nela! They sent great pictures and updates of their day and I could tell Nela had so much fun with them & their dog Parker. I think she’ll definitely miss playing with Parker!
I had another great experience with Vanessa and Diana! My dog has stayed with them multiple times now and this time he stayed for 10 days and I felt completely at ease the entire time. They provided plenty of updates and great communication throughout his stay, and it was clear he was being cared for like one of their own. I can tell how comfortable and happy he is there, which means so much to me. I’m very grateful for the care and attention they gave him and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.
This is our third time sending our dog for a week with Caren and her family. They treat our dog like their own, sending lots of photos of dog walks, treats, snuggles and play time. We feel very comfortable that our dog is well taken care of while we travel, he often doesn’t want to leave! We are already planning our next dog sitting stay!
Jen was an absolutely amazing sitter for Saffron while we were away for the week. From the moment we left, it was clear he was getting so much love, attention, and care—it honestly felt like a vacation for him too! Jen kept us updated with plenty of photos and videos of Saffron’s adventures, which we truly loved and appreciated. It gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was happy, comfortable, and having a great time. He came home relaxed, content, and clearly very well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and are so grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our dog. We will absolutely be booking with Jen again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and reliable sitter. Thank you so much, Jen! 🐾💛

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Saugus
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saugus on Rover is $48.47 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 3,904 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Saugus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Saugus sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Saugus landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Saugus home-away-from-home, we recommend 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.
Tip: 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. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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 .
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.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
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 a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. 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.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
