Heather was amazing to work with! She was a huge help walking our dogs while we were away for four weeks. My dogs loved her and she was so kind, taking such good care of both our active 5 year old Frenchie and our senior Frenchie and sending great pictures and updates along the way. She’s the best! ❤️

About: I am available for dog walking every weekend! I can take your dogs out for walks around the neighborhood, but I also love going for hikes and walks on walking trails, so I am happy to do that as well! I can do short walks or longer walks, whatever your dog prefers! I am available on weekends and I can take same-day requests! I have availability all day on Saturdays, and Sunday afternoons and evenings. I will make sure to have enough time so that we don’t have to rush, and your dog can get as much time outside as needed! Pets are always cared for as if they are my own! I always give them as much attention as they need and make sure to play with them, and feed them on time!

Charlene spent an evening with our pup while we were getting married. She made sure he has a walk, ate, has lots of play time, and was all tucked in at the end of the night. He looked happy as can be in all the pictures she sent!

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: My schedule is very specific working around work shifts! I’m very communicative and we can work something out that is best for both of us!! I have both personal and professional experience with cats and dogs. I’ve worked with dogs during my time at Essex Tech. I have also have basic experiences with small animals such as rabbits, birds, and reptiles. During my time there I learned the basics of training, grooming and overall behavior. This all led me to have a better grasp at caring for dogs and what their needs are. I have my own cat named Fasa and a dog named Summer, so I have personal experience with them! He’s the buff kitty in my photos! I have also worked at a doggy daycare located in Salem called Walk A Pup where they strive to provide a safe and enriching environment for the dogs in their care. During those six months, I not only walked dogs but also did basic obedience and evening check-ins at client's homes. I was also briefly a bather at Petsmart where watching behavior is a big aspect. Currently I work there caring for the animals we sell. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified. Working part-time fills in a lot of my time and my schedule is often on a week-by-week basis. My availability varies, so it’s best for you to just message me to find out if my schedule works with yours! At the moment I mainly have Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays free! I know leaving your pet to a stranger is very nerve-wracking and scary. However, I like to reassure you that because of my experience, I am equipped to make sure that your pet has the care they need while you are away for work, vacation, or any other situation. I am more than happy to update you as many times are you need me to. I am also certified in Pet CPR and First aid and have a car that allows me to drive your pet somewhere if something were to happen.

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: My name is Briana and i have been around pets my whole life. From dogs, cats, guinea pigs, ferrets, birds, hamsters. My love for animals is endless. i currently have a 9 year old Havenese named Sophie. My love for animals is so big that if I can fill my house with animals I would but I can’t. So therefore I would love to share my love, attention & time to care for your pets . I have experience with dogs from a variety of different ages. Friends & family have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed, & love their pets. I am a college student but I do have a flexible schedule, i can cater to your dogs needs in any way. I am a very respectful house guest, i will care for your house the same way i will care for your pets. I will care for your pets as if they’re my own. I have a phone & I will always send updates on your fur babies. Pet care fits into my daily life because I, myself have a dog. Her name is Sophie & she is included in my profile picture. She’s an amazing dog & definitely makes me the happy person I am today & contributes into my love for dogs. Also I work at Nike, Lynnfield which we have a wall dedicated to dogs since we are so dog friendly, so I see dogs almost everyday & show them the most unconditional love a dog can ask for. With treats and hugs. My dog is more of an independent dog who likes to do things on her own. But whenever we are home we like to play with her toy who i named Johnathan. I also dog sit for family members. For example I dog sit a german shepherd by the name of Rambo and I stay overnight & makes sure that he has an amazing experience throughout the day(s) that i am with him! I also take care of my moms dogs whenever I am visiting in New York. Just recently gave her dog a haircut because he was overgrown & my mom has really bad asthma so I always tend to help her out as much as I can with both dogs since she can’t do it on her own.

About: I have 4 years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owner is away. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, playtime, administering basic care, and handling dogs with different energy levels and temperaments. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, young, or senior, I always adapt to their needs and routine. I understand how important trust and communication are, so I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses to help owners feel comfortable and informed at all times. Why choose me? • Reliable and responsive • Calm and patient with dogs • Flexible schedule • Daily photo/video updates • Clean and safe environment • Experience with different breeds and personalities I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding on weekends and during weekdays. I love spending time outdoors and making sure pets get plenty of exercise and attention. I provide a calm, clean, and pet‑friendly home where animals feel safe and relaxed. My yard is fully fenced with a secure gate, giving pets a protected outdoor space to explore and enjoy fresh air. I supervise all outdoor time and make sure every pet receives gentle attention, comfort, and a stress‑free environment throughout their stay.

About: I’ve been raising dogs since i was a child. I’ve had 4 dogs throughout my life. Out of the most recent 2, one was a senior with heart problems so i have much experience with older dogs and giving medicine if necessary. My other dog is a rescue, i’ve raised since she was 3 months old. In addition to behavioral classes i took with her, i’ve potty trained, crate trained and trained her to have basic skills myself. I’ve raised most of my dogs (there was one adult rescue) from puppy to senior years so i hold much experience with dogs in these age ranges. I can care for dogs that are of all skill levels and ages. My dog and i are able to adapt to any energy level your pup may be at and will always care for them as if they are my own. I currently work full-time but luckily I am hybrid. I work in office Mon, Tues, and Thurs. Otherwise, I will normally always be with your pet unless i must go out and run errands. However, i also love to take my dog wherever i go as long as i know i’m making a quick stop, so if your dog loves car rides we will be together most of their stay. During 2025 holidays i will be at home full time until 1/4/26 I have one sweet puppy who loves other dogs and will gladly welcome them into the home. i tend to keep the house pretty tidy so my dogs can’t get into anything. If there’s anything specific your fur baby needs to avoid let me know. Lastly, i have a camera in my home to watch my puppy if i’m away and as my client i can provide footage of their stay to keep you at comfort.

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.
