About: Hi! I’m patient and caring with animals and really enjoy spending time with pets. I currently work from home, so I’m home most of the day and can give pets plenty of attention, companionship, and a consistent routine. Last year, my own Chinchilla cat had kittens, and I cared for them from birth until they were old enough to leave their mother and go to their new homes, so I also have hands-on experience with feeding, cleaning, and watching over newborn kittens. I previously had a teacup Toy Poodle, and I also had a Toy Poodle who lived to 14, so I have experience caring for pets at different stages of life. I’ve also helped friends care for their Goldendoodle, Shelties, Corgis, Golden Retrievers, and Labradors, so I have experience with these breeds as well. I currently have a male blue bicolor Ragdoll. I’m reliable, gentle, and happy to follow each pet’s usual schedule so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I am working from home mostly. I have plenty of the time to walk with dog. I won’t take many dog to walk at the same time, I think if a dog can be walk 1 by 1, they will feel more happy. I will aware dog’s emotion, I used to take care of my small dog after she went to hospital. I know the normal knowledge about pet.
“Miranda was so wonderful with Charlie! She sent me so many cute photos and videos while I was away and I could tell he was having the time of his life! Would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“Maritza took wonderful care of my dog Bella! She communicated frequently and sent many photos and videos. Bella got along with her dogs and cat. I will definitely be using her services again!”
About: Your dog becomes part of our family. I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who truly loves other dogs—especially little ones—so guests always have a built-in buddy. My home is full of activity and affection, with two gentle, dog-loving kids (ages 5 and 9) who are great at playing and giving plenty of cuddles. I'm attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means extra play and exercise, a calm place to rest, or lots of reassurance while you’re away. Dogs aren’t left alone for long periods, and I’m very mindful of routines, feeding schedules, and comfort. Dogs must be well mannered, house broken, and safe with children. My goal is simple: a safe, loving, home-style environment where your dog feels relaxed, happy, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. 🐶💛 I work from home and care for my own dog, George, a 5 year old bernedoodle. Guest pups will fit right into our existing schedule. In addition to multiple walks per day, if your dog is ok off leash, we live on an extremely quiet street (barely see another car all day) and we will let your pup out supervised off leash. We also take our pup for hikes through trails in the woods, and will include your pup if you think they would enjoy it!
About: Growing up with two terriers taught me even small dogs can be mighty and wild. I would be honored to care for your dog, take it for walks, give it love, and a warm place to rest. Looking for a temporary cozy home your sweetest or craziest family member? I’m here to help. Note: I’ve also cared for pregnant dogs and newborn puppies before, as well as ill dogs who need medicine various times a day. I work remotely a couple days a week, especially Fridays. I’m happy to take your pet for the weekend and provide a happy place for them while you are busy! I can also care for pets in the evenings after work. My space is quiet since I don’t have small children or other pets. I try to be as respectful of your pets boundaries as possible and always keep my and your space clean. You won’t come home to sand all over or stinky bags of poop, I promise.

Paula did an outstanding job of being flexible with my arrival, greeting my anxious dog and carefully introducing him into her home. He settled down shortly, and she kept me updated throughout his sleepover. She cares for these dogs like her own, and I would recommend her for boarding!
We left our dog Frankie for the weekend at Paloma’s and she had the best time!!!! I was never worried about if she was settling in ok, since Paloma sent plenty of updates and pictures and videos of what a great time Frankie had. We would totally have Frankie stay with Paloma again! Thank you!
Natali was an amazing host for our puppy Specter. It was our first time away from each other, and Natali made it super comfortable for Specter as well as us. Appreciated all the photos and videos that we got from her! And it looks like Specter had the time of his life with her! We will definitely rebook when the need arises!
Kristen and Ben were great with Yukon. They took excellent care of him, lots of nice walks, great pics and notes. It was our first time using Rover, we were out of the country and a little apprehensive about leaving a 13 year old husky with strangers. The experience couldn’t have been better. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thanks
Julia is AMAZING! She took wonderful care of my cat Spike. She sent so many pictures and kept me up to date on what he was doing throughout their stay together. He took right to her which only goes to show her kind spirit. I would definitely book with Julia again! 10/10 experience.
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!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

There are 3,905 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Swampscott. About 90% of Swampscott sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
