“Gienna was great with our dog Murphy. She had excellent communication (lots of notes and photos) during his stay with her and she clearly has a lot of valuable experience taking care of dogs and making sure they adjust into the new space.”
“David was so wonderful with my pupper. He gave me a nightly updates and a photo or two with it! He was incredibly patient with my dog, who has a bit of anxiety. I highly recommend David. I will use him again when my family goes away on a trip.”
“Jack had a such a great time with Freddi. She took my high energy boy to walk in the woods everyday, which he always enjoyed. Sent plenty of pictures and updates daily. I truly appreciate the care and would be in contact again!”
“We have finally found the perfect babysitter. Jasmine made us feel safe, comfortable and completely at ease after the first day. The daily communication complete with daily videos is unmatched. This is a deeply caring person who cares for her charges as though they were her own. We can’t thank her enough and will always use jasmine and recommend her to anyone who will listen. Thank you Jasmine for a safe and secure environment.”
“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!”
“My Pugs had a wonderful stay over Thanksgiving! They were given a special Thanksgiving dinner which I am sure they went crazy over. I received updates and pictures daily and I would definitely use them again.”
“Lady spent another great day with Elliott! She is always so happy when we arrive and clearly enjoys her time there. We are very grateful to be able to leave her in such good hands!”
“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!”
“We are so grateful to have found Paul & Megan! From the meet & greet to Lilly's extensive 11 night stay, it was evident that Paul & Megan have a genuine care for dogs and treat them with love and individualized attention. The daily pictures and updates of Lilly's activites always brought a smile to our face and were reassuring that she was happy, safe and comfortable. We would highly recommend Paul & Megan and will definitely be using them whenever we need a sitter for Lilly.”
“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!”
“Chester is a senior and still recovering from CCL surgery, so we were concerned about leaving him. Rebeca came highly recommended and we are happy to add our recommendation. Rebeca and her family were patient and accommodating to ensure Chester was comfortable and stayed within his activity limits (so important for recovery). She also sent pictures every day. We have already booked another overnight stay and we highly recommend Rebeca.”
“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!”
“Xinyue and Weihai were most accommodating and responsive during a last minute stay. Indy had a great time and I felt most assured of his care while I was away. Highly recommend!”
“Vanessa and Diana took amazing care of our dog! They were incredibly flexible when we needed to push our pickup time back a few hours. I could not recommend them highly enough!”

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.
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 .
As of July 2026, there are 3,809 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.
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.
