Vanessa is quick to reply, always goes the extra mile, and my very skittish cats feel safe with her. Vanessa is always our first choice for cat sitting for short or extended periods of time. Her professionalism is unmatched by any other sitter we’ve tried on Rover.

She was absolutely wonderful caring for our cats while we were away. She checked in reliably, handled everything we asked, and gave us real peace of mind while traveling. On top of that, one of our senior cats had an emergency during the visit, and she handled the entire situation with so much care, calm, and thoughtfulness. It was an incredibly stressful situation for us to manage from afar, and she was genuinely helpful every step of the way. Her care for animals is obvious, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable cat sitter.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to earn their trust and make them feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, and dogs of all breeds and sizes. I can administer oral medications, reinforce basic training routines, maintain feeding and exercise schedules, and provide plenty of walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. I’m also patient with shy or anxious pets and work at their pace to help them feel comfortable. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and communication. I treat every pet like family and always follow your care instructions closely. You’ll receive regular updates with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is in caring, dependable hands. Whether your pet loves adventures, long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they receive the personalized care, affection, and attention they deserve. Pet care is an important part of my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable care throughout the day, including walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or visiting them in theirs, I make sure they stick to their normal routine and feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I enjoy spending quality time with animals and am available on weekdays, evenings, weekends, and many holidays to provide dependable, personalized care for every pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I follow your instructions carefully to help maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special care requirements. In my home, pets are treated like family and receive plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and a clean, comfortable environment. I supervise interactions closely and ensure every pet has access to fresh water, a safe place to rest, and plenty of affection. When caring for your pet in your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I would my own, while helping your pet feel secure in the comfort of familiar surroundings. I offer boarding, extended stays, holiday care, dog walking, and convenient drop-off and pick-up services to make pet care as easy as possible. Throughout every visit or stay, I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

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: I grew up with police dogs, I have a dog of my own and 3 cats. I am very experienced with taking care of animals. My specialty and passion is training. I have a bachelors degree in Veterinary Technology and hands on experience as a veterinary technologist in general medicine. I am knowledgeably equipped to handle any medical situation that arises and take care of any pets with known medical issues. I am especially equipped to handle male cats with urinary issues, as my own rescued cat has such issues. Cat, dog, young, old, no health issues, a laundry list of health issues, special diets or medicine; I can handle it all. I am currently freelancing, so much of my time is spent at home or bringing my dog on outdoor adventures nearby. Pet care is round the clock apart of my life with my own pets. I have a very friendly dog and 3 friendly cats. I live in a spacious condo with plenty of roaming space and a dedicated sunroom to cats aka the Kitty Haven. I have a crate if needed and am very versed on crate training and dog training. I have all the pet supplies and toys needed and beyond at my disposal.

Jennifer took great care of our dog while we were away! We had her do drop in visits at our home, since our dog is older and does better staying home. Jennifer did each visit on time, and took extra care to make sure that she ate, got out for her business, and also got some love! She communicated perfectly by writing a little summary about the visit, and uploaded photos. We felt completely confident that our dog was taken care of while we were away, and will absolutely use Jennifer again!

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've taken care of dogs my whole life: family pets, friends' dogs, neighbors' dogs. I love being outside, whether that's a nice walk around the block or a trip to the dog park. Puppy or senior dog, I'm happy to meet each pet where they're at. Animals give us so much patience and kindness I just try to return the favor. I'm currently studying nutrition at Merrimack College, so I have plenty of time to sit your pets before and after classes. I'm available to sit your pet on the weekends as well. I like to make sure every animal is comfortable and feeling safe in their own space, I give them time to warm up to me. I show consistent care and attention to each pet and focus on their individual needs.

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! Based in Melrose, MA, I look forward to reconnecting with my roots as a Boston native and help assist with your fluffy friends! ☺️ 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, 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. Feel free to reach out even if my schedule doesn't seem to align fully, usually I can make things work! 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 grew up with a dog and has always gotten along with them. If necessary to keep your dog more comfortable, they can be kept separated depending on the length of the stay.

About: I grew up loving animals and caring for the dogs of friends and family while they were away. I recently lost my medically complex dog to cancer at the age of 12. Because of his medical conditions, I have experience administering multiple medications and handling medical situations, including seizures. While I am not ready to welcome a new furry roommate full-time, I would love to dote on yours. I work from home full time and my schedule is usually pretty flexible so will be able to take them out during the day to play or just to potty. I live in an apartment that has a fenced in dog park. The other dogs that live here are very friendly and would love to socialize with your dog. If your he/she is more of the solo type, there are also walking trails nearby where we can go to get some energy out.

She always sends pictures and videos and is a great communicator. Both of my dogs have medications and she was sure to keep them on schedule! I know my pups are in good hands with her!!

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 9,718 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.
