“Renee was so kind and thoughtful in taking care of my pup! She gave me constant updates and left me feel comfortable and confident that my fur baby is in good hands. I was able to enjoy my vacation without having to worry about him! Thanks Renee!”
“Thank you Julia for taking great care of my dog Ronny. We have been with Julia for multiple times and she is always great and easy to work with. And my dog Ronny loves staying with her.”
“Natasha and Jonathan make our dog feel right at home! Our dog is usually timid when we drop her off at dog sitters, but after the first visit she was excited to see them and seemed very comfortable with them. They provided lots of updates and photos and were always prompt on answering my messages. I’m excited that we found a dog sitter that our dog is happy and we feel peace of mind leaving her!”
“Rose was very kind, courteous and accommodating. She took great care of Palmer snd he loved his stay with her. She sent me frequent updates about Palmer with plenty of pictures, something I truly appreciated. I’m glad we found Rose on Rover and would definitely book with her again”
“Jasmine was wonderful with my dog, Kane. Shared pictures and videos daily how Kane was acclimating to his new environment. Will book for my next travel without a doubt. Thanks Jasmine and family!”
“We continue to be very happy with Paul and Megan’s care of our senior dog, Kenobi. They go above and beyond and we are always confident he is in good hands. Communication is excellent and we always get nice updates with pictures or videos. We will continue booking with them as much as we can!”
“Martha was the best sitter for our dog. This was his first time away from us and he did great thanks to the care and attention he got from Martha. Lots of walks and even a nail clipping made his stay a great experience!”
“Alex was amazing! Our friend couldn't take our 14yo poodle over the weekend due to a previous commitment, we had a conference to attend and time was running out. I found Rover.com and thought we'd see what it was all about. Thankfully the stars aligned and Alex's profile popped up as being close by and he was available. We scheduled a call to talk about Lucky. It was important to us to find the right fit for our 14 yo rescue. Once I read through Alex's reviews and talked to him, I knew he was definitely the perfect fit for us and Lucky. We set a visit so they could meet prior to our trip and Lucky immediately felt comfortable with Alex. Alex sent updates several times a day and a video of Lucky playing and going for a walk. He knew it was really me that was the nervous one ☺. Lucky had the time of his life, made a new friend and we definitely have Alex on speed dial now. Being able to find someone your dog immediately feels comfortable with takes a weight off your shoulders and knowing they're in good hands and having fun allowed us to attend our conference without worry. Thank you Alex - you rock!”
“Highly recommend using Paula as a dog sitter! We went away for 2 weeks and felt so comfortable with leaving our dog with Paula. I think our dog had more fun than she does at our own house and she seemed so happy throughout her stay with Paula! Our dog can’t wait to go back!”
“Aurora was wonderful with our rescue hound for a weekend stay. She continually updated us with pictures and gave us a full report when we picked him up. She obviously loves dogs and we will ask her again.”
“zwany did really well with my anxious pup - she was incredibly patient with her and adjusted her care for what Gouda needed. I had complete peace of mind while away that my pup was in the best of care. We will definitely be rebooking her again in the future!”
“Kimberlyn is wonderful and was so flexible to accommodate us with a change in pickup time! Our golden retriever Maggie has stayed with her many times and always comes home so happy. We would 100% book again!”
“Our dog Eevee had such a good time staying here and playing with Igo. Wonderful to get updates on how she was doing and to see that she had a great time and lots of fresh air in the fenced backyard! Thank you for following her feeding schedule, for grooming her and brushing her teeth and taking such good care of our girl 🤗”
“Lisa was absolutely everything you’d want in a sitter: communicative, flexible, and caring! She did an amazing job taking care of our 13-year-old, blind and deaf shih tzu mix and administering all of his (many) medications. She texted me multiple photos nearly daily, would be quick to respond, and ask if she ever had any questions regarding his care or behavior. We are so pleased with Lisa’s quality of care and felt extremely comfortable leaving Chewy with her. Thanks Lisa for being so caring and kind to our little guy!”
“Jennifer was lovely! Very caring and sent us lovely photos and reassurance that Goose was being extremely well cared for. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you Jennifer!”
“My dog is kept safe and satisfied while with Luciana; I feel lucky to from past experience with this sitter that he is well taken care of when there. Thank you for that!”
“It was our first time leaving Miss Kiki alone with anyone else overnight and we were a bit worried how she’d react. Well, Victoria put me at ease with a meet/greet a couple of days before to get acquainted. She stayed over for two full nights and during that time I received pics of their walks, bath and just hanging out cuddling etc. I would/will call upon Victoria again - she truly put me at ease. Oh, and Miss Kiki loved her too!”

David was wonderful! Communicative, patient, kind. It was only for about 9 hours, but he went above and beyond to watch and care for our dog. He shared several pictures, and gave proactive updates, and was quick to answer during and leading up to our dog's stay. I would whole-heartedly recommend David.
We’ve used Valeri multiple times now, and I truly can’t recommend her enough! Every time we leave our dog with her, we have complete peace of mind knowing she’s in such caring and capable hands. Our dog absolutely loves going there and feels right at home from the moment she arrives. She and Valeri's dog, Lexi, get along so well and have an endless amount of fun playing together. Valeri is fantastic with communication, sending daily updates and pictures that always make us smile while we’re away. During our most recent stay, our dog happened to be going through one of her picky eating phases. Valeri was incredibly patient and thoughtful, trying different approaches to encourage her to eat and making sure she was comfortable and well cared for. In addition to all the playtime with Lexi, Valeri took our dog on walks, gave her lots of attention, and was very accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up schedule. It’s such a relief to have found someone we trust completely. Our dog is always happy, well cared for, and genuinely excited to go back. We will definitely book with Valeri again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing dog sitter!
Paloma is absolutely fantastic, I wish I had found her sooner. I left my girl with her for a weekend so I could go away. Her home is perfect for any pet to live their best life. She was so attentive and caring. I was nervous about the fireworks scaring my girl and Paloma was careful to make sure she was as comfortable as possible which put this crazy dog moms heart at ease. Will definitely use her in the future.

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

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
92% of Swampscott sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Swampscott landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Swampscott home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Swampscott.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Swampscott sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 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 .
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
