Haowen and his girlfriend Yi were wonderful, caring, and very responsible sitters for our cat Yokii. My husband and I were quite anxious at first because this was our first time being away for such a long trip, and we were worried that our cat might have trouble adjusting or feel stressed. However, Haowen and Yi took such great care of him and gave us so much peace of mind. They always checked in on time, followed all of our instructions carefully, and helped our cat maintain his daily routine as much as possible while we were away. They were also very responsive and easy to communicate with whenever anything came up, which we really appreciated! On top of that, they took so many adorable photos and videos of our cat during each visit, which made us feel much more connected to him during our trip. Overall, we are extremely happy that our cat was so well cared for and that he got along so well with both of them. We (and Yokii) would absolutely feel comfortable and confident asking Haowen and Yi to take care of Yokii again the next time we travel. Big thanks again for everything!!

Page was an AMAZING pet sitter for our two cats. She was so prompt and helpful when we first established service, and even came over once before our trip to get acquainted with our cats and see our supplies. She always texted before she came over, took awesome photos, followed our care instructions exactly, and even went above and beyond! Since we were away for a while, she swept up and wiped down surfaces occasionally to keep our cats comfortable. We will absolutely be booking with her again and wish we had found her sooner! Thank you so much again Page for your stellar work :)

About: I love both dogs and cats alike! I’m happy to take your dog to a dog park, clean up cat litter, or do whatever care is needed for your pet. I will be fully available weekends and weekdays until August 17th for all feeding, walking, and sitting. After then, I will only be available on weekends. I’ll communicate with you so that you’re aware of anything going on with your pet. I don’t have place myself yet, but I’ll make sure your pet is safe and your home is clean of any pet messes.

About: Hi! My name is Kate, and I’m a college student at the University of Vermont studying Child Psychology. I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I have 4 years of experience dog sitting and caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through my experience, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and attention are when caring for someone’s pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, relaxing company, or sticking to a specific routine, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I’m responsible, dependable, and communicative, and I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I always prioritize safety, follow owners’ instructions closely, and make sure pets receive lots of attention and affection while you’re away. I also have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule, which allows me to be dependable and accommodating whenever possible. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that means early morning walks, consistent feeding schedules, playtime, medication routines, or overnight care. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always try to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. Some pets need lots of activity and attention, while others prefer a calmer environment and a consistent routine. I’m happy to be flexible and work with owners to make sure their pets receive the care, attention, and routine they’re used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I know pets feel safest in their familiar environment, so I make sure to follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, and any specific preferences or needs. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while their owners are away. I also keep the home clean and respectful, provide regular updates when wanted, and prioritize safety at all times. My goal is to help pets feel relaxed, cared for, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in dependable hands.

About: I've cared for an adult silky terrier for 4 years and am currently helping raise a Pomeranian (2 years old) named Mylo! I have volunteered at multiple dog adoption events and handled various types of dogs (e.g., bulldog, husky, lab). Life can be busy for dog parents, and I am here to help your dog by visiting, playing, and walking with them! Happy dog, happy owner! I have a very flexible schedule with hopes to fill the time helping dog parents with their pups! Most of my availability would fall mid-morning - late afternoon, but have the flexibility to shift availability based on dog parent needs. I handle all dogs as if they are my own. I understand that each dog is unique and may have different needs and accommodations. For dog walking, I will provide compassion and empathy for our lovely pets, keep their needs as my top priority, and ensure that they remain safe in my care. I will monitor energy levels, check for cuts/ticks/etc, and report any changes in behavior. Communication is key with dog parents!

About: For the past five years, friends and family have trusted me to not only to care for their pets but also to house sit while they’re away. I’ve handled everything from daily walks and feeding to bathing and playtime ensuring pets get the attention and exercise they need . Whether it’s an energetic dog or a shy cat, I’m committed to making your pet feel safe loved and well cared for. I currently work full-time with a hybrid schedule. I am available Mondays and Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. On a weekly basis, I stay flexible to accommodate needs like walks, feeds, grooming, administering medication, playtime, or even just cuddles. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe environment where they feel comfortable and relaxed. I’m maintained regular feeding schedules provide plenty of playtime and ensure they have a cozy space to rest. In clients homes, I treat their space and pets with the same care and respect as I would my own. I follow their routines closely - feeding walking playtime and any special instructions- so pets experience as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the home stays secure and clean, providing peace of mind for pet owners while they’re away.

About: From neighborhood animal care to volunteering at local animal rescues, my passion lies in animal welfare and caregiving! I'm looking to reconnect with a local animal advocacy scene and provide my services to anyone who may need help with their four-legged loved ones. I'm a remote employee, so I'm able to work from anywhere that has WiFi! I just moved to Portsmouth NH, leaving my volunteer position at Salem Animal Rescue League as a Canine Walker. I'm ready to make my services available and get connected to the animal welfare scene in the Portsmouth area! I have reliable (and pet friendly) transportation for anything your pet may need: a walk in the park, a trip to the lake or emergency vet care. I highly encourage pet owners to provide me with the names of their vets and emergency contacts for the duration of the animal's care.

About: Veterinary technician working in a vet clinic, almost 4 years in the field. Lifelong animal lover and caregiver. Looking for part time gigs that include more fluffy friends! I’m currently working 3 days a week at the vet clinic (shifts change week to week). Looking to fill up my other days with pet care to keep me active and surrounded by fluffy creatures. I update my availability calendar as my clinic schedule comes out. I live in a two family house (family owned). We have a fenced in backyard for your pup to run around and go potty if they’d like to. I have one cat, who gets along well with dogs (honestly, he just ignores them). If necessary to keep your dog more comfortable, they can be kept separated.

Andrea went above and beyond while caring for my grumpy senior cat. My 15 year old cat is skittish and can be aggressive, so finding someone who is so dedicated to making her comfortable and building her trust is really wonderful. I felt confident that my girl was in very capable and knowledgeable hands!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - Saugus

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Saugus on Rover is $29.97 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 9,846 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Saugus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saugus stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Saugus choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Saugus with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saugus. On Rover:

  • 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
