About: I am a corporate gal with a work from home job who loves pets of all types and sizes. I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, and chickens and have spent time volunteering at animal shelters and caring for others’ pets since I was very young. I work from home, so my schedule is very adaptable. I take meetings or draft documents all day, with plenty of breaks in between for play time, potty time, or exercise for your pets. Since I am home with your pet while I work, they will be very well supervised. I have experience working and living with escape artists and know how to handle sneaky little friends!
About: Hi! My name is Martha. I live in Boston, MA and lived my life surrounded by all kinds of dogs! I have experience in walking dogs and dog-sitting for people around me, like friends and family! I have always been very comfortable with dogs and enjoy being with them. I enjoy being active and living a healthy lifestyle! I love to go see different sites around the city and enjoy nature. I would love to have some pups with me on my walk so we can be active together! And don't worry, your pup will be s am a loving person that loves and adore animals. I am patient, caring, and an understanding person. I have owned several dogs and cats. I was born and raised in a farm and animals have always been clóse to me. The difference between me and other people is that i have a lot of patience.
About: I’ve always loved dogs and have cared for dogs of different ages and personalities throughout my life. I’m especially comfortable with senior dogs who may need extra patience, attention, and gentle care. I’ll treat every dog like family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. 🏠🐾 Home Boarding I offer a comfortable, loving home environment for small and medium-sized dogs 1 year and older. I keep boarding small and personal, with a maximum of two dogs at a time, so each dog receives plenty of individual attention and care. I truly enjoy being around dogs and love giving them plenty of attention, companionship, and socialization. I’m happy to care for dogs who enjoy having other dogs around, as well as dogs who are more comfortable being the only dog in my care. Every dog has their own personality and comfort level, and I’m happy to tailor their stay to their individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I have a large fenced in yard for your dog to run around. I also have a stroller for dogs who prefer more of a pampered ride around town than a leash walk. Before accepting a new boarding dog, I prefer to have a Meet & Greet so we can make sure your dog is comfortable in my home and that we’re a good fit. If an in-person meeting isn’t convenient, I’m also happy to arrange a Zoom/video call first. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away. ❤️ I’m am very reliable and available for pet care on my days off, including Mondays,Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays . I can also open additional days on my calendar when I’m available. I enjoy spending time with dogs and giving them the love, attention, exercise, and companionship they need. For drop-in visits, I provide care in your home and follow your instructions carefully. I’ll make sure your dog is safe and comfortable, keep doors and gates secure, and provide plenty of attention and companionship. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and your home.
“Caroline walked our dog while we were out of town. I didn’t get the chance to meet her in person but she was prompt and kind. This was our first experience using the rover app and I have complete confidence in using Caroline in the future! I feel much more at ease going out of town knowing that our energetic puppy is being cared for by a sweet girl like Caroline. Thank you so much for helping us out!!”
“Lauren has taken great care of my labrador retriever, Tanner, on days I have to go in the office. During our meet and greet she took notes specific to my dog and was super friendly! She asked a lot of questions and provided the best care I could ask for. Lauren provided updates and pictures of Tanner during his walks with her. I would recommend Lauren to all my friends with dogs.”
“Shirley is amazing! I was in a bind last minute and she was able to come take care of Charlie. She’s great with communication, photos/updates and I know Charlie is in great hands! 💜”
About: Ever since I was six years old, pets have been an integral part of my life. Growing up in a household where dogs and cats were cherished members of our family, I developed a profound understanding of how to care for, love, and respect them. At present, I have a delightful 12-year-old dog and a playful 7-year-old cat who bring immense joy to my life. Working from home provides me with the flexibility to offer my undivided attention to their needs, ensuring they receive ample exercise, engaging walks, and rejuvenating playtime breaks. I recently completed basic dog training to further enhance my understanding of canine behavior. This knowledge allows me to provide the best possible care for dogs of all ages, whether they are energetic puppies or wise seniors. Rest assured, your furry companions will be treated with the utmost love, care, and devotion under my watch. Working from home provides me with the flexibility to offer my undivided attention to their needs, ensuring they receive ample exercise, engaging walks, and rejuvenating playtime breaks. I have two dog parks right across the street and also a big green walking area to provide good exercise and play fetch. I can crate your dog if needed and follow up in trainning exercises if you're dog is receiving trainning.
“Ana did a good job with my Golden Retriever, she completed 3d of 30:00 walks and ended up staying on average 38:00 with her each visit and provided many pictures and updates on their time spent together. She was also available on very short notice and was easy to work with!”
“Our pup loves Tawana!! She is reliable, on time, and responds quickly to any changes in our schedule. We felt so comfortable knowing our pup was well taken care of. Will definitely reach out for future walks!”
About: As a dog owner myself, I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new. I’ll take the time to learn your dog’s routine, personality, likes, and dislikes so they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m reliable, patient, and happy to provide walks, playtime, cuddles, and regular photo updates for your peace of mind. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care throughout the day. I’m available during the week and on weekends for walks, drop-in visits, and quality time with your pet. Caring for my own dog is already a big part of my daily routine, so providing consistent, loving care comes naturally to me. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided. I keep their environment clean, comfortable, and secure, and I give them plenty of attention based on their individual personality. I also send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. I also have a fenced in large backyard great for dogs to run and play.
“Heather is amazing with our dogs! She is so patient and has taken the time to get to know their unique personalities- and work with them! Both of our dogs can be a bit vocal on leash, and she has handled them so well. She walks them 3x a week and is always so good at communicating what time she will be there, and how the boys were with her. Highly recommend her for any of your pet care needs!”
“Sharon was amazing! She came over before we needed help with Fitz to meet him, and he loved her at first sight. She was communicative, quick to respond, and timely. I highly recommend!”
About: Thomas and I have a 4 year old little guy named Blue. We also watch our family member's dogs and neighborhood dogs. We love it and decided to give Rover a try! II am a teacher with the summer off, so my schedule is open during the week as well as weekends until September. (I will know dates we won't be available soon.) I have a big yard, but at this time it is not fenced. in. We bring our dog out on a leash and he is never unattended. We of course walk him on a leash as well.
About: We always go above and beyond to make sure each cat is happy and well cared for. We pay close attention to their eating, litter box habits and overall wellness and weI’ll reach out right away if we notice anything unusual. We also send daily photo and video updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing. My partner and I work from home which means your pet will always have companionship and plenty of attention! We are available for boarding, walks and check-ins throughout the week and on weekends. Your baby will receive constant attention and care in a loving environment! We take extra care to secure and pet proof all areas of our home making sure there are no hazards and that your pet cannot get into unsafe spots or slip outside. We take time to build trust with each pet by using gentle interactions and keeping their routine consistent, helping them feel secure and comfortable. We clean litter box daily, play with feather toys and small football style balls and plenty of playtime tailored to their energy level. We’re attentive, affectionate and patient whether your pet prefers independent lounging or lots of snuggles. We want to create a calm, safe and comforting experience for every pet in our care so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Mykaela is an amazing caretaker who you can tell loves animals. Our dog Bailey was in good hands. We will absolutely be asking for her help again the next time we need a dog walker.”
About: I've been taking care of all types of pets for 15 years and give them all the love and comfort they can handle.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saugus
This was my first time using the Rover app, and I found Steven’s profile because he lives close to my house. We were going to travel and needed someone to walk Tango and Chico around the same time they normally go out. I shared all the information with Steven, and he accepted right away. We even met before the trip so he could get to know Tango and Chico. We walked together, I showed him their usual route, and everything was set. Steven was always punctual and would let me know when he was arriving so I could turn off the alarm. After each walk, I received the Rover card showing the route, duration, and miles walked — and of course, pictures too. I highly recommend him, and I’ll definitely hire him again whenever I need. Thank you so much, Steven!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Saugus. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Saugus.

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.
Every walker 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.

- 90% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
