“Natali took such great care of our 11 month old puppy during his first overnight stay away from home. She was patient, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even though he was a little nervous from being in a new environment, she was incredibly understanding and attentive to his needs. We could tell he was well cared for and had a great time with Natali and Rocko. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: Hi, I’m Xinyue, I’m part-time a dog treats baker! I bake fresh dog cookie and cake from scratch. May dream is to open a dog treats store. I have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever. I walk him twice a day and have trained him to sit, lie down, stay, fetch the ball, come back, and follow several other commands. He is well-trained. I also bake fresh homemade dog treats for him. If your pet stays with us, I will treat them like family too! Weihai works from home all day, he will be home with dogs all the time, Xinyue that’s me I usually walk the dog in the morning and play with him in the yard after I get home. I have shorter work hours during the summer, so I’ll be home often to take care of them. I’m also usually available on weekends and love taking dogs on hikes, to the park, or to the beach. We have a fenced yard and a 4-year-Golden Retriever named Igo, who is super friendly with both dogs and people. There’s also a dog door that leads to the yard. If your dog stays with Igo and us, they’ll be welcome to cuddle on the couch or relax in the yard—whatever they prefer! But I’ll never leave the dog along in the yard.
“This was the third day care visit of Charlie with Akhil. As always, exceptional communication from him. Charlie was so happy throughout the day. We came back and our little boy was fast asleep within an hour. We would request Akhil whenever we need care next for Charlie!”

About: As someone who has cared for the elderly and people with disabilities, I have found that my gentle demeanor also works with animals as well. Currently, I have no pets of my own (hopefully I will get one by next year), but I am a happy dog aunty to a toy poodle named Ruby who I dog sit frequently. I realized from a young age that animals usually gravitate towards me, and my priority is to always make sure these animals feel safe with me as well. As a dog walker/dog sitter I want animals parents to feel rest assured that their furry babies are in for a safe, fun time. My apartment area is spacious as well, and my neighborhood complex has all the safe space for your pets to roam wild. I also have a pet jungle gym here as well for them to use their excess energy. I work from home as a Data analyst so my hours are very flexible. This give me extra time to keep an eye on all the needs of the dogs I take care of. I also have pee pads as well as a small doggy bed in case you’re furry baby is feeling sleepy. Outside, my complex is quite big, allowing your pet ample space to roam wild. We also have a dog playpen/ jungle gym as well that I’m sure they will love.
“Vanessa and her partner took excellent care of my puppy Mochi. They frequently sent me pictures and videos of their little adventures with Mochi, and kept me up to date on the little one's endeavor. By the end of the stay, my little Mochi was giving them goodbye kisses and I could tell she had a wonderful time. I could not be happier with the care Mochi received and I am finally relieved to have found someone who can wonderfully care for my puppy in my absence.”
“Tiffany and Steve were really through up front so we knew exactly what to expect, sent us updates throughout the day, and our dog seemed to really like them. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!”
“This is Scout's second time at Jacqueline's for doggy daycare. She and Harley do an amazing job looking after Scout. Highly recommend her, she treats your dog as if it were her own.”
About: ***$20 off your 1st stay ask me how*** My home is very dog friendly, dogs are allowed on couch's and beds, I have had dogs my entire life, I own a house in Saugus with a great yard with 6 foot fences for your dogs to be able to get out run around, get some nice fresh air, and enjoy barking at the birds. I own a female, 2 1/2 year old, yorkie mix (my baby girl <3), that has so much fun with the the other dogs, but is also ok with u stay over that side of the room & ill stay over here ;) . I am married with 3 sons that help out. My mother in law also lives with us downstairs in her little inlaw, so someone is always home. Your dog will have it own vacation when they stay with us. I can also drop off or p/u if close by !! I promise to send lots of pictures so you will see your puppy is enjoying there vacation also :)**Sorry not taking dogs over 25 pounds currently**
“Marcia was absolutely wonderful! She is incredibly kind and clearly loves animals. I received frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day, which really helped to ease my mind. I loved the videos watching my dog, Mylo, get to play with Marcia and Cosmo! My high-energy puppy came home happy and exhausted, which is the best compliment I can give considering Mylo’s energy level! I highly recommend Marcia to any pet owner looking for a loving and responsible sitter.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Saugus
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!
Susan is the best! Pia couldn’t be in better hands, she always goes the extra mile. She is friendly, pays attention to every detail, and makes sure Pia is always comfortable. She keeps Pia active, gives her medications, and makes sure she stays warm and cozy. She even sings to her, and they’ve developed their own little dance routine. Last time, Pia even came home with a new heating pad! I truly couldn’t trust her more.I highly recommend her!
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!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Saugus
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Saugus on Rover is $44.4 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 2,846 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.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,846 sitters in Saugus, 86% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
