“Eleni was thoughtful and provided great communication about when she arrived and how my dog was doing! She set my mind at ease that someone so caring was taking care of my Cannoli.”
“Jake is a really great dog walker! He is so communicative and kind and really cares about making sure my dog is able to get out and get some exercise without forcing her to do anything because she can be a bit nervous. She is such a fan of him and loves the days he comes over to take her out!”

“Olha was a delight to work with and very attentive to my dog's needs and to any specific requests that I made. Luckily, she was available on short notice for both a meet and greet, and then to schedule 2 walks the next day. She obviously loves animals, has direct experience working with them, and is highly competent and responsible. I truly appreciated her responsiveness and professionalism, and my dog loved her! Looking forward to hopefully working with Olha again. She gets all the stars without hesitation!”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all breeds for 25 years. Walking, hiking, bathing, brushing, and administering medications. And of course, the naps we share after our hikes! I currently work nights and weekends serving at a restaurant about a 10 minute drive from my house! After work, I tend to head home for evening. My days are free and I can always come home to your baby! If we have company, my cat keeps to herself. She's an older lady and enjoys occasional play but mostly naps. If I am working out of your home, we will be sure to go over an extensive check-in list together so we are both comfortable.

About: I’ve always loved spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away! I have experience cat-sitting and regularly caring for my roommate’s cat when she’s out of town. I enjoy playing with him, giving him plenty of cuddles and attention, and keeping him entertained—even turning on the TV so he can watch bugs jumping around! I’ve also helped walk and look after my neighbors’ dogs, spending time playing with them and keeping them company. Whether it’s going for a walk, having a little playtime, giving lots of affection, or simply hanging out together, I love making sure pets get the attention and companionship they need. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel comfortable and loved. Hi my schedule is very flexible! I am able to make time to care for your pets anytime! I am also available on weekends. Please let me know what works best for you. I’d be happy to care for pets in their home by keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I can provide fresh food and water, playtime, walks, cuddles, and plenty of companionship. I’ll also make sure their space stays clean and comfortable and give them lots of love and attention while their owner is away.
“Truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Ryan and Martina. They go above and beyond in every possible way and treat our girl Piper like their own! Their kindness and genuine love for dogs was evident right away. They are incredibly thoughtful communicative and reliable. They gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It’s not easy trusting someone else with a very important member of your family but they made it so easy! We are so grateful for the exceptional care they provided and feel incredibly lucky to have them around the corner from us!! Would recommend them a thousand times over!”

About: Hi, I'm Joanne. I started to walk dogs for Rover in 2019. Prior to starting at Rover, I volunteered for several years at a local animal shelter. In the Summer of 2025, I became certified as a dog trainer through Rover's Good Pup Program. I'm available for either dog walking or dog training, Mondays through Thursday, day or evenings. I'm also available on weekends if requested. I am a past proud owner of a 17 yr old blind beagle named Toby, who passed in 2023. Toby went blind when he was 4 yrs old, so I had to learn to administer eye meds for additional eye issues as well as learn to train and live with a disabled dog. Raising a blind dog required me to gain additional patience and training techniques to ensure his safety and well-being beyond what's necessary in a dog without a disability. I have a special place in my heart for senior dogs or those with disabilities. Additionally I can provide in home visits for either dogs or cats, providing meals, medications or play time in the comfort of a dog or cat's home. I'm a very active person who enjoys being outdoors as much as possible either walking or hiking. I'm available to do any of these activities with your dogs as I believe a well exercised dog is the happiest, healthiest and the most well behaved. I look forward to meeting your fur babies. I am available to care for dogs at my condo on weekends. Larger dogs who aren't high energy needing a great deal of space to roam would also be welcome. I try to take dogs out as much as possible as I'm a strong believer that exercise is the key to a happy and healthy dog. I believe regular exercise is the key to a dog's good behavior, so please know I try to get your dog outside as much as possible. I also feel consistency and a schedule help a dog know what to expect which can help make them a happy confident pet. As a result, I try to keep a dog to whatever schedule a pet parent already has in place when possible.

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!

The average cost of Dog Walking in Saugus is $29 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $22 and $39 per walk. On Rover, walkers 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.

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 Saugus. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Saugus after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
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. 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.
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Saugus. On Rover:
- 84% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% 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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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 walker.
