About: I've never owned a dog but I've been helping friends and family to take care of theirs. I'll make sure your pup stays healthy and entertained. I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate same-day requests. I can pick up your per if necessary. Please don't hesitate to reach out for any questions. My one-bedroom apartment in a pet-friendly building is perfect for a short stay. There's a lovely pond nearby which is perfect for walks.

“Was on a trip to MA for the weekend. Very happy that I found Marcia to take care of my dog for the day while I was out. She provided a lot of pictures and updates without me having to ask. She went above and beyond! She took my dog out for multiple walks as well as letting my dog outside in her fenced in backyard all day. If I am back in MA again, definitely will be reaching out!”

About: I spent a year working at a super fun dog daycare where I cared for pups all day, walking, playing, feeding (and of course, cuddling!). I also have experience as a dog walker and have had my own pets, so I know how much love and attention they need. I treat every furry friend like family! Right now I work part-time with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time and love to share with your beloved furry ones! Whether it's a walk, a cuddle, or a full day of care, I'm here and happy to help. I make sure to provide a safe and comfortable environment for every pet I care for, whether at my home or the client’s. I live in a pleasant, quiet apartment where pets can feel relaxed and comfortable being on the furniture or roaming around the house, always under my close supervision. The location is in a safe neighborhood, close to the beach and calm sidewalks, perfect for stress-free and peaceful walks. My priority is that every pet feels loved, protected, and at ease, creating a space where they can enjoy themselves and be happy while with me.

We just moved to Seaport and glad to have found Monica on Rover for our doodle’s daycare. He’s one anxious boy but Monica took great care of him. She’s responsive with communication and sends me photos to ensure he’s enjoying his day with his other daycare buddies. Already booked Monica again for boarding.
We were visiting Boston with our fur baby and realized that a couple of activities we had planned weren’t dog-friendly, so with little time to prepare we turned to Rover and found Akhil. We had never left her with someone we hadn’t met before, so we were a bit nervous, but choosing Akhil turned out to be the best decision. He and his family took wonderful care of her, kept her entertained, and made sure she felt comfortable and at ease. He also kept us updated throughout with frequent messages and lots of pictures, which really reassured us and allowed us to enjoy our time without worry. Thank you, Akhil, for stepping in on such short notice and taking such great care of our girl, we truly appreciate it!
Amber was very loving and caring, and she goes above and beyond! She suggested a meetup the day before to help facilitate a smooth session, and she addressed all the needs during the sitting session and sent lots of feedbacks and photos. Would definitely leaving my dog with Amber next time I visit Boston!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Doggy Day Care in Saugus is $47 per day as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $61 per day. On Rover, 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 2,835 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Saugus. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Saugus commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
As of October 2026, there are 2,835 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across the region of MA. Enter your address or desired location to see which available sitters are closest to you.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 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 Meet & Greet.

sitters 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 sitter.
