“Emmitt loved Renee and hated to leave. She seemed very happy with her stay. Renee was a joy to talk to and I received many updated throughout Emmitt’s stay. I hope to use her services again in the near future.”
“Jennifer was so excited to meet Ruby and she clearly loves animals. He had a great day with her and her 2 little doggies. She even had gifts to send home with him. Highly recommend and Ruby will be thrilled to see her again soon!”
“Natali took such great care of our 11 month old puppy during his first overnight stay away from home. She was patient, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even though he was a little nervous from being in a new environment, she was incredibly understanding and attentive to his needs. We could tell he was well cared for and had a great time with Natali and Rocko. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
“Kristin was great with our dog, Riggs! She took him on lots of walks and sent a bunch of photos throughout the day. He came back absolutely exhausted 😂 We will definitely be using her services again for doggy day care!”
About: I’ve been a devoted dog owner for the past 18 years and have cared for dogs through every stage of life, from energetic younger dogs to seniors who need extra patience, gentleness and attention. My two beloved dogs, Charlie and Sophie, were a huge part of my life, and caring for them gave me years of hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, medications, changing needs, senior care and, most importantly, understanding each dog’s individual personality. I’ve also regularly cared for friends’ dogs over the years, including dogs of different breeds, sizes and temperaments. I’m very comfortable learning a dog’s routine and following it closely so they feel secure and relaxed while their family is away. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I’m attentive, calm, affectionate and dependable. I treat every dog as an individual and want them to feel safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for — not simply “watched.” I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of individual attention rather than fitting them around a packed day. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting, including daytime care and many evenings and weekends. I enjoy being active and walking, so dog walks fit very naturally into my routine. I’m also happy to accommodate a pet’s established feeding, walking, medication and bedtime schedule as closely as possible. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, normal routine, medical needs, feeding instructions, walking habits and any triggers or special concerns before caring for them. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and never assume that what works for one dog will work for another. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of both the pet and the home and try to keep everything as familiar and predictable as possible. On walks, I pay close attention to surroundings, traffic, other dogs and leash security. I’m also very comfortable with senior dogs or pets who need a slower pace, extra reassurance or more frequent attention.
“Thais & Nathalie have a great energy that I picked up immediately from our meet and greet video call. They were accommodating to my dog’s special needs with separation anxiety and dog reactivity. Would absolutely hire them again!”
“Ana was really great with our very anxious 13 year old pug-daschund mix, Honey. We have never left honey with a sitter before and the first time couldn't have been better. Ana managed honeys anxiety issues with utmost care and professionalism. Will definitely look forward to utlizing her services in the future.”
About: I treat every animal exactly as if they were my own. With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, my background is deeply rooted in animal welfare. Growing up in Maryland, I volunteered at a local animal rescue, interned with an equine veterinary clinic, and served as a volunteer and instructor in equine therapy. I came to Boston for college and have resided here ever since! I am still an avid equestrian today, and this lifelong dedication to animals has shaped my approach to pet care: I am incredibly detail-oriented, highly observant, and bring infinite patience to every animal's unique needs. I grew up surrounded by large dogs—including three wonderful Labradors—as well as multiple cats. Recently, my husband, Johnny, and I moved to Marblehead, where we share our home with our two sweet cats, Ozzy and Willis. What to Expect When You Book With Me: Constant Companionship: As a working professional in the consulting industry who is fully remote, my flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent, reliable supervision. I ensure your pets receive lots of daytime companionship and are never left alone for more than 4-5 hours a day. Tailored Attention: Family and friends have always relied on me for meticulous care. I make it a priority to learn everything about your pet's routine, quirks, and needs to ensure they are happy and safe. Professional & Insured: As an established, fully independently insured pet care professional, I am always happy to discuss flexible care and scheduling arrangements that work best for your family. Reliability & Safety: I have my own reliable vehicle, allowing for complete flexibility with visits and peace of mind in the unlikely event of an emergency.

Please note: For house sitting, I currently accept booking requests a maximum of 3 months in advance. Thank you for understanding! I work fully remote from my home. For house sitting, I use your house as a homebase to make your pet feel comfortable and used to their normal routine. I am able to drop in, house sit, and walk your furry friend, feed and play with your dog or cat, and everything in between (and of course take many pictures!)
“This is our second time using Rover and it was such an awesome experience. We're looking for an in-home daycare and my puppy Houston had an absolute blast with Weihai, and the pups Igo and Kiwi. Houston can't wait to return - thank you!”
“Ana Maria did a great job caring for my dog. She gave her extra attention, as my pup was having separation anxiety following a recent move. Ana has a calm nurturing way about her, and it's apparent she loves dogs. I will definitely use her services again!”
“Very good communication before and during the dog sitting. I felt at ease leaving my dog for the day. I don’t live in the area but would definitely leave my dog with this Rover again if I did or if we return.”
About: I have been always a pet lover since my childhood I grow up around many different species of animals. I had rabbits, small birds, big parrots , guinea pigs, and many stray cats and dogs that my family rescued from the streets of Brazil which is my original place of birth. I think the joy, companionship and unconditional love they give to us It’s priceless. Pets are amazing and very special to me because they make my life so much happier. I work most days from home as a dog groomer, which give me the flexibility to play with my puppies and yours during the day and take care of their needs at night. I have two friendly golden retrievers names, Rocky and Skyla they enjoy to play and meet new friends. I currently offer play groups two times per week at my house where they can get to play and run around with other dogs. I also have a huge backyard all fenced and with cameras to make sure our babies are safe and secured all the time. During the summer, they can enjoy themselves playing inside the dog pool with sprinklers and doing other water activities to freshen up but if they prefer they can just relax under the shade of the one many trees in the backyard . They are going to feel that they are in a pet resort where they can run free and happy during their stay. Pick up and drop off are available near my area as well a discount on GROOMING for new guests.. I accept dogs of any age and with any limitations and physical disability If you are looking for someone reliable and trustful to take care of your fur baby I am here to help you . Thank you and I am looking forward to meet you and your pet soon. 🐶🐕🦮🐩🐕🦺 I work from home most days which allows me to spend a lot of time with my dogs and play with them outside in the backyard. My backyard is all fenced and we have cameras but even so the dogs are never left alone outside . All plants and flowers are safe for pets so you don’t need to worry about them eating anything dangerous.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Swampscott
Kristin has been absolutely wonderful with our puppy, Ollie! 🐶❤️ From the very beginning, she has been caring, reliable, patient, and attentive to his needs. Ollie is still a puppy, so he has lots of energy and is still learning, but Kristin has been so great with him. It gives me such peace of mind knowing that when Ollie is with her, he is safe, happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of attention. Ollie is always happy to see Kristin, which says everything! We feel very lucky to have found someone we can trust with him and would absolutely recommend Kristin to anyone looking for a kind, dependable, and loving dog sitter. Thank you, Kristin, for taking such great care of our Ollie! 🐾❤️
Beth was great and my dog came home a very happy pup! When we arrived, she had already familiarized herself with his diet instructions, which gave me peace of mind from the start. She also sent regular updates and a photo during the stay. We’ll definitely book with Beth again!
Natali took such great care of our 11 month old puppy during his first overnight stay away from home. She was patient, communicative, and kept us updated throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Even though he was a little nervous from being in a new environment, she was incredibly understanding and attentive to his needs. We could tell he was well cared for and had a great time with Natali and Rocko. We’d absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!
We can’t say enough good things about AnnMarie! She took incredible care of our 10-week-old puppy, Sally, while I was traveling for work. Sally was too young for regular doggy daycare, and AnnMarie stepped in so she wouldn’t have to be alone for long stretches while her dad was at work. As first-time Rover users and first-time puppy parents, we were understandably nervous leaving her for the first time, but AnnMarie immediately put us at ease. She treated Sally like her own pup, gave her so much love and attention, and kept us updated throughout the day, which meant everything to us. Sally had a great time and was clearly happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We’re so grateful we found AnnMarie. Highly, highly recommend!

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Swampscott commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
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.
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 .
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy.
