“Julie was amazing, it’s no wonder she has star sitter status! I always get nervous leaving my dog with new people, but she sent lots of pictures and updates about how he was doing. Seymour came home so content and relaxed!”
“Shuhua watched our dog Sesame while we went on an international trip. She sent regular updates and let us call her every day so that Sesame could hear our voices. Thank you for taking good care of our baby!”
“Maddy was so wonderful with my dog Jester!! We got tons of pictures and videos and you could tell how happy Jester was staying there. I was assured the whole time that my dog was well taken care of. We will use her again!”
“Alex is the best! My dog has been sick and Alex took good care of her and was attentive. My dog was on meds & she made sure she took her pills. Strongly recommend Alex!”
“Juno had a great time at Betsy's! She loved playing with the other dogs and Betsy's family. The fenced in yard gave a feeling of security, would definitely return!!! We loved getting updates and pictures from Betsy!!”
“Howie runs into Elizabeth and Rodrigo’s home every time I drop him off like it’s his own home!! That’s all you can ask for as a pet parent!! They are so communicative, flexible and kind.”
“Hana was fantastic. She took great care of my pup, and was very available with updates and pics. I also had some travel delays during my booking, and she was very flexible with my pick up. She put me at ease leaving my pup with her. I highly recommend Hana for dog boarding.”
“Eric lived up to his very positive reviews: sensitive to our (very few) concerns, sending daily updates and photos, easy to communicate with--in short, everything one would hope for. His dog Snickers was an extra bonus.”
“Patrick took great care of my dog over Thanksgiving. He was communicative during the planning process and while he was sitting my dog, he sent daily videos and updates. Highly recommend Patrick!”
“Alec and Damien were great hosts! Tanuki seemed very comfortable and we received lots of updates. So glad to have been able to book with them ❤️”
“I haven’t used Rover in awhile as I started traveling with my pug Captain...but for a recent quick trip I decided it was worth it. I saw Ben’s profile and thought he seemed like a great fit to watch Captain. Ben and his girlfriend loved watching Captain and raved about their time with him. I could tell Captain also enjoyed himself! Ben was also very responsive and accommodated my schedule for pick up/drop off. I’d definitely use Ben as our dog sitter for our next trip!”
“Lynne was the best dog sitter we have ever had. We accidentally waited until the last minute before the holidays to find someone and we are so thankful she had space and took our pups in right away. She was so easy to work with on booking, schedules, communication, and she spoiled our pups like no other. She even made a special grocery trip to get snacks they would love. She sent us “pup-date” photos everyday and it warmed our hearts to see our pups and know how happy they were in her care. With her patience and kindness Lynne was able to bond with our temperamental chihuahua on day one-an extremely rare occurrence! We can’t praise her enough and hope to be lucky enough to book her again in the future!! Thank you Lynne!”
“John provided many updates to give us peace of mind about our dog. We are a repeat customer and always trust that John will provide great care of Maggie. Maggie always has a great time with him and comes back a happy camper.”
“Lauren (+Matt) are incredible! Super warm, patient, and communicative, and helped me with an urgent request when my plans fell through. Remy had the best time, she can’t wait to go back!”
“Joe and the family were great hosts to my dog! She had a fun and busy week and came home happy and tired. Joe provided updates and pictures throughout the stay. We would definitely stay with Joe again!”
“Dana is a great person and I felt very comfortable leaving our Gizmo in his capable care. Good communication and flexibility. Will contact him again in the future.”
“Maggie did a great job. I can always tell when my dog is happy, and for a minute there I thought she didn't want to leave! My dog is elderly so she needs a little extra attention but Maggie took care of her very well. I strongly recommend this Rover-er”
“Michelle and Michael took excellent care of our pup. They were very communicative and asked all the right questions from jump. You know your dog had a good time when they don't want to leave. Highly recommended!”

I highly recommend Shuhua! I continue to book Shuhua because of her care, attention to detail and communication - she's great! After regular dog walker moved away, and after a few trial runs with others, I finally found someone to care for my 15yr old dog. I don't worry when I need to board my old girl for a few nights because I know she'll be well taken care of.
We could not be happier with the care Adrianna provided for Moca! This was Moca’s very first time staying with her, so we were naturally a bit anxious, but she immediately put our minds at ease. She kept us updated every single day with sweet pictures and videos. Moca came home relaxed, healthy, and so happy. We definitely recommend her to anyone looking for attentive, loving care, and we will absolutely be rebooking with her for our future trips! Thank you, Adrianna!
Ashley accepted our last minute request and even did another play date for our dogs before hand. She was very flexible with timing and gave Chimmy a lot of attention, and took him to the park to run and play fetch. She sent amazing photos and videos that were so cute to watch.
Connor and Juliana were absolutely amazing with our dog! They took her out many times to play at her favorite park, they sent me picture updates daily in which she looked very happy and relaxed, and I know that they kept her safe and very well loved. I am grateful we found them to take care of our dog!
Miriam and her husband took good care of our older Shih Tzu for five nights. They sent messages and photos to reassure us that he was doing fine. We liked the fact that they only take one dog at a time, so he could get all their attention. We would board our dog with Miriam again.
We had a wonderful experience! Argo stayed for 3 days and was clearly in caring, knowledgeable hands. He seemed right at home with the other dogs, and we loved receiving some great pictures throughout his stay. Argo go plenty of walks and quiet time. We would definitely book again and highly recommend!

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Brighton is $52 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $86 per night. 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. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 4,107 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Brighton. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Brighton can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Brighton 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 Brighton.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brighton. On Rover:
- 85% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
You and your Brighton 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
