About: I’ve always loved dogs and have cared for dogs of different ages and personalities throughout my life. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I’ll treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🏠🐾 Home Boarding I offer a comfortable, loving home environment for small and medium-sized dogs 1 year and older. I keep boarding small and personal, with a maximum of two dogs at a time, so each dog receives plenty of individual attention and care. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and socialization. I’m happy to care for dogs who enjoy having other dogs around, as well as dogs who are more comfortable being the only dog in my care. Every dog has their own personality and comfort level, and I’m happy to tailor their stay to their individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around. I also have a stroller for dogs who prefer more of a pampered ride around town than a leash walk. Before accepting a new boarding dog, I prefer to have a Meet & Greet so we can make sure your dog is comfortable in my home and that we’re a good fit. If an in-person meeting isn’t convenient, I’m also happy to arrange a Zoom/video call first. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. ❤️ I’m am very reliable and available for pet care on my days off, including Mondays,Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays . I can also open additional days on my calendar when I’m available. I enjoy spending time with dogs and giving them the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. For drop-in visits, I provide care in your home and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your dog is safe and comfortable, keep doors and gates secure, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home.
“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.”
“Akhil was a fantastic caretaker for my dog, Sparkles. I received constant updates and pictures of him. He received plenty of attention and opportunities for walks and lounging around. Their dog was very friendly and was welcoming to mine.”
“Belinda was wonderful with our furbaby and sent us an update each day. She was very accessible by text and easy to communicate with. Our dog got along well with her dog, Sloane, who is a sweetie. Also, she has the perfect fenced in yard for the dogs to play! We will certainly work with Belinda again!”
“Wagner had a good first stay with Gienna and Maggy. Gienna was great at providing updates with photos during the stay, and we feel very comfortable leaving Wagner for an overnight stay next month.”
“Chanel was amazing with my elderly dog, who is a kind of persnickety old lady. She sent pics regularly (including her very cute toddler son "helping" with a walk) and let me know everything was going well. She was patient and flexible with scheduling and made me feel completely at ease boarding my beloved pup with her. I would love to bring my dog back to stay with Chanel in the future!”
“Martha is AMAZING! She took amazing care of our little Ina while I was in Europe for 5 days and then was able to support me with Daycare help after I returned. Martha sends lots of photos and videos and Ina was brushed every day and had the silkiest coat coming back. :) I cannot recommend Martha enough and I am looking forward to working with her and her family again! Ina absolutely loved it in Martha’s home!”
“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!”
“Carol and her family are lovely! They took such great care of Stevie. I got a lot of pictures, great communication, updates and was relieved that Stevie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Carol.”
“Natasha and Jonathan kept this first time dog Daddy at ease the whole time. I had to go into the hospital last minute for emergency procedures and they helped me tremendously and they kept me updated everyday with pictures that made it a little bit easier for me to be separated from my baby girl. I highly recommend them.”
“Lori took such great care of our very energetic golden retriever. She shared daily updates and pictures and our girl had such a great time! we will happily be using her again!”
“Jennifer was lovely! Very caring and sent us lovely photos and reassurance that Goose was being extremely well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you Jennifer!”
“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 can’t say enough great things about Mike! Mike (and his family) are absolutely incredible! They took such wonderful care of Daisy, and she always has the best time with them. Knowing she’s in such a loving and fun environment gives us total peace of mind. Thank you, Mike, for going above and beyond—we’re so grateful! Highly recommend! 🐶✨”
“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”
“Jhoanna did amazing with Khali. She did daily updates about her status, very attentive and detailed. We always felt Khali was in good hands. She made sure Khali had enough playtime and got her daily walks. I would definitely trust her again with my pup.”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Man and Zhen! I could tell she was well cared for and loved on through their check ins and photos. I really appreciated their flexibility and communication. We aren't local but if we're ever back in the area would definitely use them again and would recommend!”
“Russell had a marvelous time with Zwany and Leandro. They were very communicative and provided a loving home for our pup while we were away. We will be repeat customers for sure!”
“Our pup was happy in every picture & very excited but quickly calm when she got home, which to me says that she was happy to be home, but didn’t feel nervous at Aurora’s home! Aurora also was diligent to make sure our counter surfing, sneaky dog didn’t get human food during her stay. We will definitely book with Aurora again!”

Xinyue and Weihai were awesome! Our husky Meeko stayed with them for 7 days while we were out of the country and we will definitely reach out to them again the next time we need a sitter for Meeko. Very communicative, sent pictures and videos of Meeko playing in the yard with their golden retriever, and make our trip very relaxing and fun knowing that Meeko was in great hands!
Alex took outstanding care of Rumi. Shortly after I sent a boarding request, he coordinated a meet-and-greet. It can be stressful to leave your baby with someone you have just met, but Alex immediately put me at ease. He has a beautiful home with a MASSIVE fenced yard, which, it turns out, is the second fastest way to Rumi's heart (the first is a high-value treat, which Alex also promptly offered). I could tell that Rumi had a great time over the weekend, because he came back exhausted (Do you know how much work it takes to exhaust a vizsla?!! iykyk). Alex sent me plenty of photos, videos, and text updates, which I much appreciated. I'd definitely board Rumi with Alex again!
Patti is wonderful! She took great care of Bear - he didn’t even want to leave when we went to pick him up! We loved getting sent picture updates of their hike, and appreciate our attentive she was to Bear’s needs. Will definitely be reaching out to Patti again in the future!
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!
I’m so glad Freddi was Tommy’s sitter! She took such good care of my old guy; I could tell how much he adored her and her husband when I picked him up. It was also evident in the awesome pictures they sent me every day. Tommy had his own vacation! All in all, they were great, and I can’t thank them enough. I hope I’m able to book them again the next time I have to go somewhere without my boy. Thanks, guys!
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

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saugus on Rover is $61.73 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

As of September 2026, there are 3,833 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.
93% 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.
