“Our dog Helga has a wonderful time with Jackie! We regularly received pictures of her and each one she was happy. Helga was in great care and we were at ease knowing this while on vacation.”

“Alexandra and Ham took the best care of Darcy while we were out of town. We got lots of pictures of all their walks and snuggles. It was so nice to go on vacation and not feel like we were abandoning Darcy, but that she was enjoying a weekend with a friend. We’ll definitely be reaching out to Alexandra the next time we need a dog sitter.”

“John was a fantastic sitter for our very energetic puppy. He provided us with updates multiple times a day and took great care of her. It was so nice to know our little pup was in great hands and had John’s own dogs to play with.”

“Our dog Zoe has stayed with Savannah 3 times this year, and each stay has been wonderful. We would absolutely recommend her! She sends us pictures and updates, which mean so much to us when we are missing our girl! Zoe is happy when she is there and calm and transitions easily when she comes home.”

“Rebecca was super responsive and really really kind. Her dog is a goofy little man that was very respectful of my dog's boundaries. There are a lot of really great photos and personally I believe that Rebecca went above and beyond for my dogs care and well-being.”


“This was our first Rover experience. We were beyond pleased with Chelsey! She took such good care of our girl. We got daily pics and knew she was in great hands. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Hanna and her family took wonderful care of my pup, Scout, for a few days and overnights. I received daily updates along with pictures, which gave me such peace of mind. When I picked Scout up, she was excited to see me but clearly very comfortable in their home. I’ll definitely be using Hanna and her family again in the future. Thank you so much, Hanna — Scout says hello! 🐾”

“Peter was very gracious in accepting a last minute request to care for our dog and though the stay was short, our dog seemed very happy and content. Would definitely recommend Peter.”


“Catherine was an amazing pet sitter! Joey had a great time with her, and I loved receiving lots of photos and videos while I was away. I honestly think Joey enjoyed his time with her just as much as she enjoyed having him. Catherine was flexible, responded promptly to messages, and made the whole experience stress-free. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Gabby provided. I 100% recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and loving to take care of their furry family member. Gabby is incredibly kind, friendly, and easy to communicate with. She sent me daily photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind knowing my puppy was happy and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Gabby with my dog again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my little one!☺️”

“Highly recommend! Laura was so accommodating with our crazy schedule, and her property is a dog’s paradise. Our pup loved romping around all weekend and was thoroughly tuckered out from his stay. Laura sent us pics to keep us updated and responded promptly to all messages. I’m sure our dog would be ecstatic to return to her place. Thank you!”
“Simply amazing! Rushi sent cute photos and updates to put my mind at ease - Alan had a blast with her family and sweet little toddler. They took him on walks, gave lots of love and kept me updated throughout :)”
“We couldn’t ask for a better experience with Chad. Our family stayed in Smugglers’ Notch/Stowe area and our resort (if you do timeshare, you understand) doesn’t allow pets. We still wanted our dog close and finding Chad is awesome. He took the time to discuss ahead of boarding all necessary details about Pakun. He even asked for written notes and sent daily pictures and videos. We are kept updated especially with important details about our dog’s behavior. We could tell our Pakun was treated so well. Our English Springer’s hair was not tangled and he was clean when we picked him up. It is hard to believe since our dog has videos of walks, playing in the park and playdates with other dogs,he even did enrichment activities. Our dog is used to group boarding when we go on vacation, he usually comes back smelly and all tangled up. We are so pleased with our experience this time and we are so glad we brought him to have his own vacation with Chad.”

About: Lifetime Farm Experience Growing up on a farm with five dogs, and multiple cats gave me an intuitive understanding of animal behavior and means I can handle almost anything they throw at me. A 2-Acre Private Playground & Trail Access Unlike standard suburban yards, my 2-acre property offers your dog ample space to safely run, explore, and play on a long line. Sorry still not fenced in for dogs. For high-energy breeds, I provide structured walks on scenic local trails right from the property. Constant On-Site Presence Because I work on site, your dog gets continuous companionship, supervision, and routine pot breaks. They are never left alone for long stretches. Because I work from home, pet care isn’t something I squeeze into my schedule—it’s built into my entire daily routine. Here is how guest dogs fit right into my everyday flow: Morning (7:00 AM – 9:00 AM): Fresh Air & Breakfast Your dog and I kick off the day with an early bathroom break, morning feedings, and a leisurely stroll around the property or an energizing trail walk before I start my workday. Midday (12:00 PM – 1:30 PM): Farm Play & Bathroom Breaks Since I work on site, midday is dedicated to play and outdoor time. Guest dogs get dedicated play sessions on our 2 acres, a mid-day pot break, and a chance to stretch their legs while I do afternoon farm chores. Afternoon (2:00 PM – 5:00 PM): Quiet Workday Companionship During work hours, dogs relax nearby—whether resting in the same room as me or relaxing after their afternoon play. High-energy dogs or puppies get periodic check-ins and quick breaks as needed. Evening (5:30 PM – 8:00 PM): Trail Walks, Dinner & Wind Down Once the workday ends, your dog and I head out for an evening walk along local trails or extended play in the yard. After dinner, guest dogs settle in for feeding time and cozy evening downtime. Night (9:00 PM – 10:00 PM): Final Potty Break & Bedtime A final night-out in the yard ensures everyone is comfortable and settled before heading to sleep in a secure, quiet environment. Your dog isn't just getting a place to crash—they're getting a full countryside vacation! Because I work on site, I’m around pretty much 24/7 to throw the ball, give belly rubs, and keep everyone happy. Here’s what life looks like for your pup at my place: Constant House Company: No sitting in a crate for 8 hours waiting for someone to get home. Pups hang out right next to my desk while I work, getting routine breaks and endless affection. 2 Acres of Safe, Off-Leash or Long-Line Fun: I have 2 wide-open acres of countryside to explore. Since the property is unfenced, safety is my absolute top priority—guest dogs are kept securely on long lines for sprawling fetch games, or walked on-leash unless you’ve explicitly cleared them for voice-recall off-leash play. Trail Walk Adventures: For dogs with energy to burn, I skip the boring sidewalk trots and head straight out for scenic, leashed trail walks right off the property. Farm-Savvy Supervision: Growing up around dogs and cats means reading animal body language is second nature to me. All outdoor time is 100% supervised and controlled. Your Routine, Maintained: Tailored meals, meds, bedtime quirks—whatever keeps your dog feeling secure, I stick to it. If they love crate sleeping, great! If they prefer a plush dog bed by the window, even better. Photo Updates: Expect regular photos and videos of your pup living their best farm life while you're away!
“I’ve utilized Donovan’s sitter services twice! He is amazing. When I went to pick Axel up, he just looked out the window looking like he didn’t want to leave. Donovan sent daily updates and pics. I will definitely use his service again.”

“Sarah was very communicative and sent lots of photos. I was also so glad my dog Nova was able to run around and play a bunch with their dog Roxy while I was away. Thanks again!”


“Pete and Alex were amazing! Their home is UNREAL. Truly heaven for a dog! Alex sent us frequent photo updates about Duck's stay, and we could 100% tell that Duck was happy when he was there. He even got to sleep with Pete, Alex, and Hank in bed. We would definitely have Duck stay with Pete & Alex if we are ever in the area again!”

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 131 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Swanton. 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.
100% of Swanton 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 Swanton 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 Swanton 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 Swanton.
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 Swanton 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 VT 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.
