“They always take wonderful care of our dogs, and we are so grateful and feel lucky to have found them! Our dogs aren’t easy, but they know them very well and put us at ease knowing our dogs are in great hands.”
“Rob is excellent with our older dog. We always feel comfortable leaving her with Rob even though she's on lots of meds because we know she's well cared for with him and his family.”
“Martha was so incredible with my two dogs! She is loving, attentive, considerate, and took such great care of them! She kept me updated on how my furbabies were doing with videos and pictures during their stay, and I could tell how much they enjoyed her company. We would definitely rebook a stay with Martha for our dogs in the future!”
“Lori did an amazing job taking care of my pup Yoshi. I received daily photos and videos and I could tell he was having the best time. It's so nice to know your pup is having fun while you are away.”

“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!”
“Natasha and Jonathan were excellent! This was Bennie’s first stay and I will definitely book again. Bennie quickly bonded to Natasha which made me very happy as I had only left him with someone once before. Their home is very dog-friendly and Natasha sent me regular updates during my trip. Bennie was treated so well with regular walks and snuggles. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my baby and keeping my mind at ease!”
“Alex was awesome and took great care of our 9 year old and 2 year old pups, LouLou and Rudy. Alex has a huge fenced backyard that I’m sure they both enjoyed. Thank you Alex!”
“This is my second time using Paul and Megan for boarding for my dog. They were very attentive to my dog's needs and she seemed to have a great time there. I would definitely book again without hesitation.”
“Vanessa boarded Syx for 6 days while we were out of the country and they were amazing through out this time. Syx is super anxious and clingy and they did a great job managing this. They provided daily updates in the morning and afternoon, with photos. They made us feel super comfortable and accommodated. They now have repeat customers and I would recommend them to anyone with an pup or cat who needs attentive care.”
“Renee was extremely flexible and graciously took on our last minute booking without hesitation. I never had to worry about our elder pug, Lucy. Renee sent frequent updates and pics. Lucy was loved and well cared for by Renee and her son Nico. We appreciate your kindness, your flexibility, your patience and the extra attention to detail in caring for our baby. Thank you again and we hope to book with you in the future!! ❤️”
“She took such great care of Remi and we felt so at ease, even though it was the first time we’ve had our pup stay with someone else. We loved the updates and photos and will definitely be using Gienna 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!”
“Victoria is the absolute best!!! Lambo boarded with her for 3 nights last month while I went away. She kept me up to date with tons of pictures. Victoria was also super flexible with pick up and drop off which helped a lot since I was basing it around my flights. Lambo even got a nice bath before he came home. I know he had a great time and felt safe with her, he barely wanted ready to leave her at pick up. Lol. That’s always a good sign. Thanks again Victoria!”
“Elliot did a great job and we will definitely book with him again! It was our first time having someone other than family watch our dog and we immediately felt very comfortable with Elliot. He was very organized and professional, making sure he understood our dog's needs. He also communicated quickly and sent frequent updates. A great experience and highly recommend him!”
“Kyra had the best time with Aurora and her sweet pup Madi! I was in Europe for a week and felt so at ease with constant updates and photos while I was away! I can’t recommend Aurora enough and feel confident in using her services again next time I go away!”
“Very friendly, provided plenty of photos for us to see our dog during her stay. She was very responsive and attentive to the dog. When she got home she seemed happy! Recommended.”

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
Five stars! We were nervous leaving our senior pup over the Fourth of July weekend, but Sudarnah made it so easy. She kept us updated with photos and texts the whole time, was patient with her, and clearly went out of her way to keep her calm and comfortable on walks. Mia came home relaxed and happy. Highly recommend if you need someone trustworthy and attentive. We’ll definitely be booking again!
Alex was a good care giver.my pup had food and medication instructuons that was followed without issue.alex sent pictures and updates for the entire stay.my fur baby took to him rightaway and seem very at ease at his place. Would definatley recommend alex for your dog care needs
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.
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 🥰
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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Saugus on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 3,884 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.
