“We’ve trusted Martha with our dog multiple times now, and every experience has been wonderful. She clearly loves our dog and takes such great care of him. One of the things we appreciate most is how many updates she sends — it really gives us peace of mind knowing he’s happy and in good hands. We couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Man & Zhen took great care of Wadsworth! They took him on lots of walks and sent a ton of photos. I could tell they treated him like part of the family :-) I would absolutely book with them again!!”
“Rob and his family were great with our dog Gronk! He is attentive, communicates well, and Gronk had a blast while he was staying with Rob. Would absolutely book again!”
“We were so lucky to have Paul, Megan and family look after Ramsay for us. They are such a loving and welcoming family, we were able to take Ramsay over for a meet and greet, which was a great introduction! We dropped Ramsay off and knew he would be well looked after and we got lots of photos, videos and updates while we were away. It was clear when we picked Ramsay up that he was so comfortable and happy with his stay too! We couldn’t recommend their care more and I think Ramsay will be super excited to stay again in future!”
“Zwany and Leandro were amazing with our Nugget. This was the 1st time we went on vacation and left our Nuggy with someone different. If I could give more stars I would. Nugget had a blast and we enjoyed our vacation. Win Win! We highly recommend Zwany & Leandro to watch your family pet!”
“Hannah is wonderful! Our dog, Chente, loves staying with her. She is responsive, professional, and always send photos of our dog on their walks or in her house. Will definitely book again.”
“I was super nervous to leave my puppy, who's six months old, with a sitter because he's so young and definitely not the best trained yet. Luciana was so nice and welcoming, with a very clean home and a pretty green area nearby. She was sure to send me pics of Rowan everyday on his walks and it really put me at ease about being away from him. Even with the unpredictability of a puppy, she took great care of him and I'm so grateful. He was perfectly happy and healthy at pickup, with the miracle of all his toys being intact. Thanks again!”
“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!”
“This was our second time booking with Victoria, and once again, we couldn’t be happier. She sent frequent updates and adorable photos, which clearly showed how happy, relaxed, and well cared for our dog was. It gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again!”
“Xiuping and her family took care of my dog over the weekend for me- it was such a pleasure! My dog had a great time and the communication was so smooth and pleasant. I will book again!”
“Zelun and his wife took AMAZING care of my dog while I was gone for over a week! They sent pictures and videos, took him on a little day trip (pre approved) and definitely loved my pup as their own while I was away :)”
“Christina was amazing! I booked last minute and she was eager to take care of Beru for the weekend. She sent lots of photo updates. Beru has some quirks and Christina was more than capable and happy to accommodate Beru’s personality. Would 100% book with her again!”
“Sunny was amazing with Roxie. She is elderly and he was ready to take on the challenge that comes with caring for an older dog. Sunny’s communication throughout Roxie’s stay was excellent. He sent a ton of pictures so we could see how she was doing and reached out when he had questions or concerns. My daughter loved getting pictures throughout the day and it helped her miss Roxie a little less.”
“Yenny and her family where extremely amazing 🥰 my Winnie was happy being around them for being her first time spending the night out of her comfort 🩷🫶🏼 she did well I will definitely book again in near future with yenny. Definitely recommend her 💯”

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.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. 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.
