“Alex was phenomenal from communication to actual care for my 9 year old boxer, who normally intimates people. Definitely would recommend and I plan to work with him again in the future.”

“Layla was amazing with Kali. Her patience was over the roof and her ability to work with her really made us feel like we made a great decision. Kali now absolutely loves her and we’re looking forward to book with her in the future!”
About: I've been surrounded by animals since I was little - from growing up on a farm, to training and showing dogs, to fostering feral rescue cats with special needs, there isn't much I haven't done! I have experience with dogs from a variety of different breeds and backgrounds, and I can't wait to learn more about your pets and their specific needs. I work from home full-time, so I can be available to pet-sit in your home without lengthy repeated absences from your pet. I'm also happy to drop in for a walk/visit on my lunch break or after my other work has wrapped up for the day! My highest priority is maintaining the specific routine and care that you want for your animals. I've cared for both senior pets and pets with specific medication schedules, and understand how important it can be to follow your instructions to the letter. Travel can be stressful (for you and your pet!) and I'm here to ensure their experience is as peaceful and reassuring as possible.
About: I have helped take care of friends and families dogs/pets for about 5 years now. I have overnight sat for friends and took care of their dogs that required special feeding and medication instructions. I also helped train my own dog with stuff like sit and paw. I am currently working part-time in the hospital as an aide. I will not be working for most of the summer, so I will have plenty of time to check in on dogs or even stay over night at houses to pet sit. I have a fenced in yard and a long, strong lead if needed for dogs that can be escape artists. I also am strong enough to hold bigger dogs that can pull.
“Ayfer was so amazing with my 2 dogs, dropping in and seeing them multiple times while I was out of town for a weekend. My dogs felt comfortable with her immediately! 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!!”
About: I am available for dog walking every weekend! I can take your dogs out for walks around the neighborhood, but I also love going for hikes and walks on walking trails, so I am happy to do that as well! I can do short walks or longer walks, whatever your dog prefers! I am available on weekends and I can take same-day requests! I have availability all day on Saturdays, and Sunday afternoons and evenings. I will make sure to have enough time so that we don’t have to rush, and your dog can get as much time outside as needed! Pets are always cared for as if they are my own! I always give them as much attention as they need and make sure to play with them, and feed them on time!
About: Hi! My name is Kate, and I’m a college student at the University of Vermont studying Child Psychology. I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I have 4 years of experience dog sitting and caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Through my experience, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and attention are when caring for someone’s pet. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, relaxing company, or sticking to a specific routine, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I’m responsible, dependable, and communicative, and I understand how important trust is when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I always prioritize safety, follow owners’ instructions closely, and make sure pets receive lots of attention and affection while you’re away. I also have reliable transportation and a flexible schedule, which allows me to be dependable and accommodating whenever possible. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m able to plan my days around the needs of the pets I’m caring for, whether that means early morning walks, consistent feeding schedules, playtime, medication routines, or overnight care. I understand that every pet has different needs and personalities, so I always try to adapt to what makes them most comfortable. Some pets need lots of activity and attention, while others prefer a calmer environment and a consistent routine. I’m happy to be flexible and work with owners to make sure their pets receive the care, attention, and routine they’re used to. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I know pets feel safest in their familiar environment, so I make sure to follow all instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, crate routines, and any specific preferences or needs. I always make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and supervision while their owners are away. I also keep the home clean and respectful, provide regular updates when wanted, and prioritize safety at all times. My goal is to help pets feel relaxed, cared for, and comfortable while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in dependable hands.
“Yuzhou was great! She was very attentive and sent lots of photos throughout the stay. Luna is usually shy with sitters, but she warmed up to her right away — a rare sign of trust. We also came home to a sweet handwritten card. Truly grateful, and I’d definitely book her again!”
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.

Caroline was great! She came for a meet and greet to meet our kitties before the drop in sessions. I forgot to provide instructions for the lockbox and she was easy to work with the clarify. She was caring and followed instructions for our kitties. Already rebooked :)
Nicole continues to be the greatest cat sitter ever. We have booked her many times and trust her completely. She takes excellent care of our two cats, provides detailed photos and write ups, and cares for the house in unexpected ways on top of everything else. You should absolutely book with Nicole - your pet(s) will thank you!!
Fior is wonderful! She was professional, has a lot of knowledge on caring for animals and is very kind. She followed all instructions I had for my cat. She sent me lots of photos and videos which I loved. She even bought my cat a new cat toy which was the sweetest. I would absolutely book Fior again, I know my cat approves!!!
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.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
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 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
