“She took such great care of Remi and we felt so at ease, even though it was the first time we’ve had our pup stay with someone else. We loved the updates and photos and will definitely be using Gienna again!”
“Elliot and Jo always take great care of Tippy when we board him with them! He’s always super excited to see them, and we know that they make sure he’s stimulated and well-loved, while keeping his quirks in mind and sending us the cutest photos of him. We’re so grateful to have them as our sitters! :)”
“Tucker had a wonderful time with Ben and Kristin! I was very stressed about leaving him because a) we have just moved to a new home and he hates change and b) he's a bit anxious and clingy to mom... Kristin sent nightly texts with pictures to make me feel better! He's an older dog and requires meds, so that was not a problem at all. Anytime we go away and need a sitter, Kristin will be my first call. I am a bit hesitant to write this review because I'd rather she didn't book up with other dogs! Thank you Kristin and Ben!”
“This is the third or fourth time Indy has stayed with Paloma, and Indy once again had a wonderful time. We'll be reaching out to Paloma again next time we need a sitter :)”
“Yenny and her family where extremely amazing 🥰 my Winnie was happy being around them for being her first time spending the night out of her comfort 🩷🫶🏼 she did well I will definitely book again in near future with yenny. Definitely recommend her 💯”
“Faith was excellent with her care of Lucy. She took Lucy on a walk which is one of her favorite activities. She has a great fenced in yard (perfect for dogs). I would recommend to watch your dog. GWB”
“This was the first time we have been away from our puppy for a long period of time and Akhil did an amazing job easing our anxiety and our puppy's. Akhil was in constant communication with us, sent us plenty of pictures and videos throughout the day and kept our puppy entertained via multiple enrichment activities. We could tell our puppy enjoyed her time with Akhil because she gave him a going away hug when we picked her up haha. Akhil will be our go to dog sitter moving forward!”
“Renee took care of my dog twice now and I couldn’t be anymore pleased with the care and love she gave him. So gentle, accommodating, and great communication. Highly recommended!”
“Patricia was fabulous! She took incredible care of our pup like she was one of her own! When watching her during the heatwave Patricia made sure there was lots of fun things for her to do to cool off. She got to go swimming in the pool and played around in the splash pad. Patricia was great at keeping us updated and sent lots of photos and videos! Our pup can’t wait to go back!”
“Linda is fantastic!! She took very good care of our dog Nellie, and was very attentive to all of her needs. We would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter who goes out of her way to make your dog as comfortable and happy as possible. She is a great communicator sending us daily updates and photos. Thank you Linda we appreciate everything that you did for Nellie!!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have had three Shar Pei of my own. Shar Pei can be a challenging breed, and all three of mine experienced health issues over the years, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs who need a little extra patience and attention, including administering medications. I no longer have a dog in my home and have recently been dog sitting for friends and family. I’ve enjoyed it so much that I decided it was time to expand! I truly enjoy having dogs around, taking them for walks and giving them plenty of attention. Your dog will be treated like part of my family, not a guest. I work outside of the home during the week, but I have flexibility in my schedule and plenty of time to give your dog the attention, exercise and companionship they need. I enjoy walking and being outdoors, so daily walks are something I genuinely look forward to. When I’m home, your dog will be right there with me as part of the family. I have a fully fenced-in yard where your dog can safely spend time outside, and there are currently no other pets living in my home. This allows me to give your dog lots of individual attention and makes my home a comfortable option for dogs who may prefer not to be around other animals. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for dogs with health issues and special needs. I’ll also follow your dog’s normal feeding, walking, sleeping and medication routine as closely as possible. Above all, I want your dog to feel safe, comfortable and at home while you’re away.
“Yang was absolutely amazing watching Tormund. She went above and beyond what I expected from my first time using Rover. She's going to be the first person I go to for any future dog sitting needs.”
“We had a wonderful experience with Ana and would absolutely book with her again! She was fantastic with communication, sending daily updates and pictures that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog happened to be going through one of her picky eating phases during our trip, and she went above and beyond to help. She tried different bowls, chopped up the turkey we had left as a topper and mixed it into her food, and was so patient and creative in trying to get her to eat. It was clear she genuinely cared about our dog’s well-being. She also took her on multiple walks each day and made sure she got plenty of attention and exercise. On top of that, she was incredibly accommodating with our drop-off and pick-up schedule, which made the entire experience stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for better care for our dog and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter!”
“Maddy was so wonderful with my dog Jester!! We got tons of pictures and videos and you could tell how happy Jester was staying there. I was assured the whole time that my dog was well taken care of. We will use her again!”

“Svetlana watched Harper for me at last minute notice while we moved - thank you Svetlana! Harper had a great time and I got lots of pictures and updates! Appreciate it so much!”

Natalie was super attentive and involved during the 10 days Albus lived with her. She sent photos and videos everyday which really helped us be worry free. Our dog Albus really enjoyed his stay and came back to us all healthy and happy. :) Thanks Natalie! Would 100% recommend booking her for your doggo ❤️
We were very please with the services provided for our girls on October 7th by Natasha & Jonathan. The girls seemed very happy when we pick them up. The followup text messages with pics made our visit to the area more comfortable and relaxed. Thanks so much for caring for our pups!
Jennifer was wonderful to our aging dog who has terrible separation anxiety. We were able to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing she was home with her all day. She provided several walks per day, and plenty of comfortable places for her to nap. My dog just helped herself to a basket filled with toys. She seemed very comfortable there. Jennifer dispensed eye medicine daily and sent us plenty of updates and photos. Highly recommend.
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.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Swampscott is $52 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $39 and $73 per night.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Swampscott can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Swampscott home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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.
