“Don was fantastic with my 9-month old puppy. He is reliable and prompt for the drop in visits. I could tell during the meet & great that my pup already liked him. He fed, walked and even did some training (loose leash walking, stay and come) which was very appreciated. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had dogs ever since I was a baby. I had two boxers named Harley and Pedi, then a bulldog named Chumley, and now I have a bulldog named Lola and I can’t picture my life without any of them. I love to play with them, walk them, take them on adventures, snuggle, and have fun with them. My current dog is basically my baby I love her so much! I recently moved out, but Lola comes and stays with my boyfriend and I half the time. Her being around or not can be an easy thing to work around. The new house I moved into has a wonderful yard for dogs to run around in! It’s a very family friendly neighborhood. I am currently a full time hospital worker, working 4 shifts in the week. I have plenty of flexible time on the weekends, and weeknights as well. I usually have one day off in the next that rotates. My home has a fenced in yard, it’s a perfect size to run around in. My bull dog Lola loves the yard when she is over. We have a very safe neighborhood where Lola and I enjoy walks. My boyfriend works from home so when I’m at work he’s able to keep an eye on her. She eats twice a day, loves to play (especially when she gets zoomies), loves to snuggle in the evenings. Caring for pets in my home or another home I would follow any instructions from the owner and ensure the dog is comfortable and having fun!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up around dogs, currently have a dog, and will probably die with a dog. I’ve also had a plethora of pets including cats, ferrets, parrots, iguanas, hamsters, hermit crabs, and even a sugar glider. Every pet is welcomed in my home. I work from home, so that means I’m pretty much home all day. If I have to leave the house, it’s usually for an a hour or two at most to go to the gym. I’m available any day of the week at any time! I have a yard in the back that is shared with just one neighbor. It’s not fenced, but definitely has room to play and walk around. Inside the home, we have a little old dog who sleeps a lot and will occasionally come out to play.

About: I have always had my own dogs and cats throughout my life. I now find myself without a pet and really miss my own pups! Also, I have been working with a Service Dog Trainer in order to train those hard-working dogs! It has been very rewarding, and I also would like to help you with anything that you need help with to allow your dog be the best dog they can be. I am currently working on my training certification full time but since my schedule is flexible, I can meet the time needs of your pet. I am working towards my Training Certification which has been really exciting for me. I will always walk your dog on his/her leash unless I am advised otherwise. I live near a few parks but also enjoy dog walking at the Beach. Dog socialization is important, but your pet's safety and happiness is paramount to me. I live alone so I can devote all of my attention to your pet

About: Hello! I have had pets of my own and know how important it is to know and believe your dog is cared for when you're busy. I have experience with energetic dogs and have attended multiple training classes. I am out of work earlier in the afternoon so am able to do evening walks and support.

I am more than happy to hang with your four legged best friend as you do whatever it is you need to do! Ask me any question you would like I am open to chat before you book rover care! I am out of work early afternoon and would be able to support in early evening and nightly needs. I am happy to be flexible as needed and as possible. Having had pets of my own I know how important it is to feel as if your space and your furry friend is well cared for. Clear communication and respect are key to providing a safe environment.

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Saugus

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Saugus on Rover is $30 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $53 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 9,693 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Saugus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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 .

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 , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

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.

  • 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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 , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

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