Elizabeth was absolutely wonderful with my dog during his one-day stay! From the moment I dropped him off, she made both of us feel comfortable and welcomed. She was attentive, friendly, and clearly experienced with dogs, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she sent me updates and photos showing how happy and relaxed my pup was in her care. It was clear she gave him lots of attention, playtime, and affection, and he came home content and tired from such a fun day. I really appreciated how communicative and professional Elizabeth was—she made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I’d definitely trust her to care for my dog again in the future!

Guillermo did a fantastic job with my dog, Kiara. She gets nervous around new people, so it’s always tough for me to leave her. I booked an overnight stay with Guillermo to see if they’d be a good fit, and it went perfectly. As soon as I arrived, I felt comfortable. Guillermo showed me around the house so I could see where Kiara would stay, which put me at ease. Kiara quickly warmed up to him and didn’t seem upset when I left. During the day, Guillermo sent thoughtful updates and photos, which really helped me relax. When I came back to pick up Kiara, she was happy to see me. She gave me a few kisses and then settled on the couch like she was at home. I really appreciated Guillermo’s care, communication, and the calm, friendly atmosphere he created. I have already booked with him again.

John did an amazing job watching my dog LD! He took care of her for 9 nights 10 days while we were on vacation. He provided daily updates and I never worried or wondered what she was up to. My dog has separation anxiety and blues and John dealt with it by adjusting to what she was comfortable with regarding feeding schedule and going outside. He is a very trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you again John!

Had a great experience boarding my Golden Retriever with Christina! From the initial meet & greet I could tell Christina was competent, professional, and caring. Leading up to and throughout the boarding she was communicative and sent multiple pictures daily, so I know my dog had a great time. Drop-off and pick-ups were easy. Overall really pleased with the boarding service and will be boarding with Christina again soon!

Kimberly and Brian were wonderful! They took sent lots of updates and pictures of my pup and took great care of him. With a senior dog who has to take medication morning and night, it was a relief to have him in such good friends. And he and their dog, Lola, became buds by the end of it.

Lynne took such great care of Napoleon. Napoleon is a senior dog with diabetes and cushings disease and Lynne had never given insulin shots to a dog before but took it on without fail! Napoleon came home super happy and healthy. We are so thankful to have found Lynne to care for our little old man while we went away for the week.

Hannah was amazing with Mochi. While Mochi is easy to take care of at home, her reactiveness is something to be watched outside, and Hannah navigated through it without any issues allowing Mochi to have a great time. Mochi seemed very happy when I picked her up and I also got plenty of updates throughout the stay.

Five stars isn't enough for Niusha! I recently boarded my puppy, Luna, with her and couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care she provided. From the very beginning, Niusha was highly responsive and deeply invested in understanding Luna’s routine and needs. She took the extra time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put my mind at ease. During the stay, Niusha and her roommate Olly kept Luna active and happy, even taking her to a nearby park to play with other dogs, and sent me constant updates with lots of pictures and videos. What truly sets Niusha apart is how far she goes above and beyond. When Luna had something in her eye, Niusha provided gentle care and even took her to the vet just to be entirely sure she was okay. Knowing Luna was in such loving, attentive, and capable hands gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I will absolutely reach out to Niusha for any future pet care needs, and I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking for top-tier care for their pup!

She was hands down the best pet sitter I’ve ever had. She always treated Alex with so much love and care, and she was incredibly flexible whenever my schedule changed unexpectedly. We’re leaving Boston soon, and I’m genuinely so sad that she won’t be able to take care of Alex anymore. That’s how wonderful every boarding experience with her has been — I always felt completely comfortable knowing Alex was in such good hands. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Alex during my two years in Boston. We’ll miss you so much, Lex! ❤️

I always worry when Wesley is with a new sitter and this was going to be for over a week. I saw all of the positive reviews for Michael and I can attest that they are 100% spot on. Michael shared so many great photos of Wesley during his stay running and playing with the other dogs and having a fantastic time. You can see the exuberance in his face in half the photos. He was having so much fun that I was actually a little worried that he wouldn't want to come home! I whole heartedly recommend Michael and his concierge door-to-door service and will absolutely use him again.

Jun Ho and Hanna always make Petunia feel at home. She spent a full day with them and their dog, Boki, and was so comfy she had to be called multiple times before she came out to go home (it was late and she had already settled onto the couch to snooze). That's how comfy, cozy, and safe she felt!

Amazing boarding service! So genuinely loving and caring sitters. My dog, Luke (10), had his own vacation in their home while we were away for 8 nights - lounging around in their bed (!) and chasing after the bunnies in their yard. They are very attentive and responsive, sending us lots of photos and messages about his "vacation". We will definitely return!

FAQs for Boarding - Brighton

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Brighton on Rover is $52.63 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 4,075 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Brighton. 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.

93% of Brighton 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 Brighton 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 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.

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.
