“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!”
“Natasha and Jonathan were excellent! This was Bennie’s first stay and I will definitely book again. Bennie quickly bonded to Natasha which made me very happy as I had only left him with someone once before. Their home is very dog-friendly and Natasha sent me regular updates during my trip. Bennie was treated so well with regular walks and snuggles. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my baby and keeping my mind at ease!”

“Carol and her family are lovely! They took such great care of Stevie. I got a lot of pictures, great communication, updates and was relieved that Stevie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Carol.”
“Kristin was fantastic caring for our senior dog overnight for two weeks. She clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable, and took the time to meet up with us ahead of time before booking him for such a long stay. Once he was there, we received regular photo and video updates, usually of him getting belly rubs or sunbathing on the patio. Kristin also managed the couple medications our dog takes with no issues. I wouldn’t hesitate to have our dog stay with her again!”
“David and his family (new baby included) were awesome with my dog. I was given updates every day and pick-up/drop off were as easy as possible. I definitely recommend for any pet stays! Will request again for my next trip. Thank you, David!”

“Absolutely thrilled with the care Zwany and Leandro provided for my two dogs over the weekend! From start to finish, they went above and beyond. They kept me updated daily with photos and videos, which really put my mind at ease. They treated my pups like their own, showering them with attention and affection. I was especially impressed with the thoughtful report card they gave me at the end, detailing how the dogs did during their stay. It's clear they love what they do, and I can't recommend them enough. I'll definitely be rebooking their services in the future!”

Jhoanna texted us frequently with photos and updates so we were assured that he was doing great during our trip. She took him out on frequent walks and ensured that he had his meals as indicated. Will rebook in the future!”
About: With 25 years of experience having my own dog sitting business, I will take loving care of your precious dog in my Swampscott home. I have a large, fenced-in yard. No cages here. Many great references. Friendly, female dogs only, please. I make my own hours, so I can be home for your dog to take care of her every need. I am crazy about dogs, and my own dog, Annie, gets along well with other friendly dogs. I have a fenced-in yard, which dogs love to go out into. I can let them out any time, for as long as they want to sit outside in the sun, or come inside into the cool air conditioning on hot days.
“Piper came back happy from Belinda’s! Belinda was very responsible, flexible, and made sure to slowly introduce Piper to her own pup! If I am back in town with Piper I will definitely reach out to her again!”

Highest recommendation for very very happy puppies.”

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.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Swampscott on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of September 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 3,739 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Swampscott. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
93% 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.
