“Jennifer was amazing watching our puppy, Loki! She even provided pet taxi for pick up and drop off! She kept us updated throughout his weekend stay with her the entire time and he loved playing with her 2 pups! Thank you so much!”
“We have an older dog, and we’ve always been able to call on family and friends to care for Sully while we are away. But we found ourselves in a pinch, and Gienna (thankfully!!) had an opening in her schedule to care for Sully for a long weekend. She and her dog Maggie were so welcoming, and made Sully feel right at home. He was so comfy and was soon prancing in Gienna’s yard. We received many pictures of Sully as he was settling into their home. Gienna communicated well and administered Sully’s meds as we needed. What a find for us and Sully! Gienna enjoyed caring for our little man and we are so happy that he had a great experience.”
“Samantha was great with both me and my dog. This was my first Rover booking and she and her husband were super accommodating and took great care of Della: taking her on walks, making sure the cats stayed away and giving her cuddle time (with kids❤️). Would book again if i was in the area.”
“Freddi was a fantastic sitter for my dog, Edie! She sent great photos and updates during her stay. She clearly took great care of Edie, taking her on long walks on the beach every morning and being sensitive to her needs since she can be anxious in new places. We definitely would recommend Freddi and hope to have Edie stay again in the future!”
“While we were away on vacation for a week, Tippy had his own little vacay with Elliot and Jo! They frequently sent us photos of him at the park, the beach, and even on a little road trip! As always, Tippy had a fabulous time, and I think we ended up missing him more than he missed us, haha! Thanks again for taking good care of him! :)”
“Thank you for minding Theo in our absence! Great videos, excellent response time to my messages. Exceptionally knowledgeable about dog behavior! Lovely family, great back yard and lots of walks. Happy, tired guy. Thank you!”
“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 🤗”
“Zwany is super nice and easy to work with. She is communicative and follows all instructions. Her goal is the best for your pups and she always accomplishes that goal. She also sends all toys and materials you send with your pup back cleaner then they started which is so nice after a trip, one less thing to worry about!”
“Hyesun and her husband were awesome. They sent us daily updates with photos on how our pups were doing to take away any concern we had. Our dogs look like they had a blast while there. <3”
“This was our second stay with Paul & Megan and I feel ever more grateful for them and the love they provide for our girl Nala. They take such great care of our girl, so extremely thoughtful. We got lots of pictures and videos of her days, which are full of enrichment activities and being around others and family. I felt fully informed of everything that was going on in such a positive and reassuring manner. We can really tell Nala loves spending her time here.”
“Jhoanna took care of Olive like she was her own! I got tons of updates and quick responses that reassured me Olive was in the best hands possible. I’d use Jhoanna any time again in the future.”
“This was Luna’s first stay with Lori and I knew she was in great hands. Lori has a great set up with a fenced in yard and lives in a nice, quiet neighborhood. Lori was amazing at communicating, sending lots of pics and updates and making sure I knew Luna was safe and having lots of FUN! Lori took her on lots of adventures and took videos to show me real-time action. Lori also went above and beyond when Luna lost her Fi GPS device and Lori tracked it down by retracing steps and finding it in the woods. I highly recommend Lori and will absolutely be partnering with her again to watch Luna for me!”
“Another visit with Renee! My Hank loves going to her house and spending time with her and her family. She’s so attentive to all of his needs- couldn’t ask for a better sitter for him!”
“Cookie had a one night overnight before a longer pet sitting. She had a wonderful time! Ariana and her whole family were very loving. I know Cookie will Be well taken care of for the next time.”
“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!”

I'm so glad we found Natali! She was wonderful with my Yorkie. He can be nervous in new environments, but Natali helped him feel at ease and went the extra mile to make sure he was eating properly. She also sent lots of updates and pics. Thank you, Natali! We hope to see you and Rocko again. 😊
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.
This was my first time in the whole 14 years that I’ve left my dogs with a stranger. Gienna never felt like a stranger from the moment I met her. She immediately made me feel safe leaving my kids for an entire week. She sent me updates multiple times a day without prompting. I never had to worry what they were doing. She even finished off some antibiotics with one of my guys. They came home absolutely spoiled. I will absolutely use Gienna again in the future and I would 100% recommend her to anyone (except that means she fills up quickly-totally worth booking early!)
Tatiana accomplished an exceptional feat of caring for our elderly dog who had a lot going on while he was being cared for so graciously in her home. There were plenty of medical care issues that she navigated beautifully making it possible for us to have a relaxing Christmas trip. Our dog had the best Christmas too. Wonderful, thoughtful, skilled care. Our dog is so fortunate. Thank you Tatiana!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Swampscott on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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.
