âJulie was simply fantastic with Wesley. She let him sniff around and learn get comfortable in her apartment while I was there to make sure he was ok. Lots of photos and Infor a laugh as she she shared a Wesley story as she took him for a walk and he waited hopefully for some free pizza. I would definitely rebook.â
âAlex 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!â
âShana was great with our dog Basil! She watched her just overnight but Basil definitely looks like she got plenty of walks, attention, and couch time! Will definitely keep Shana in mind for future sits!â
âI had such a wonderful experience. Shuhua went above and beyond to make sure lilac was well taken care of. I got lots of updates & pictures and she was exceptionally kind. I will definitely be booking again.â
âHIGHLY RECOMMEND ! We had the pleasure of leaving Max for the very first time in the care of Hyesoo , and we couldnât be happier with the experience. From the moment we booked with Hyesoo she kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which made us feel at ease while we were away. Max came back happy, well cared for, and clearly enjoyed his time with her. Weâll definitely be using Hyesoo again in the future, and we highly recommend Hyesoo to anyone looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter!â
âZarah is amazing!! My dog (Monty) is a quirky boy with lots of anxiety. Zarah was immediately attentive, empathetic, and understanding :) She truly cared about learning everything about Monty and how best to care for him, and she sent tons of pictures and updates! I trust Zarah implicitly and know Monty is in great hands with her. He felt at home right away, and he will be happy to see Zarah and Honey again soon :)â
âKimberly 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. Would absolutely recommend them!â
âSteven was great with our 70 lb boy. Great communication and very accommodating to our dogs needs. Would love to use his services again in the future!â
âWe booked 2nd time with Nalix and had great experience again. Nalix sent updates and pics everyday, and our little Shitzu got the best care and including walks in the park and play time. Highly recommended!â
âIsabella is amazing at taking care of Marvin and Mellow. We shared our concerns when it came to us being nervous but she gave us loads of reassurance and kept us up to date. This was our second time with her, and she was great! No complaints.â
âJing was amazing! This was my first time leaving my sweet pea, Chianti, with a sitter and I was much more nervous and anxious than her. Jing was super communicative, which I really appreciated!! Lots of photos and videos throughout the days and also she was just responsive in general. My doggo clearly had a lovely time and lived her best life. She loved Jingâs hubby Jeremy as well - this became super obvious when they let me come visit for a meet and greet prior to booking. Their space is clean and well laid out for dogs. The backyard is a nice big, fenced off space thatâs great for all the dogs to run around and play or just relax. Will definitely book with Jing again! She was truly very wonderful.â
âAlan and Ying were great! They took excellent care of Nori, and we had regular updates. Nori loves playing with their dogs and from updates, she had a ton of fun.â
âGreta and her pup Juniper were wonderful hosts! My dog is nervous in new places and is more comfortable when another dog is around. Greta was patient and loving. I felt really comfortable leaving him with her for the weekend. Greta gave lots of updates and pictures. Would definitely recommend!â
âMy pup had a great time with Zwany and Leandro! They truly go above and beyond for the dogs they care for. I loved getting daily updates of all the fun activities they planned!â
âWinn was the best to work with! He was extremely responsive to messages, met us for a meet and greet with our pup to get her comfortable with his space. He was attentive to our pup paying close attention to her temperament and making sure she felt comfortable in his space. She is wary of new people but warmed up to him nicely. Highly recommend Winn and we will be returning clients for sure.â
âTobie had a great stay with Vanessa. She was very communicative and sent lots of photos and updates during the stay. Tobie canât wait to come back! đâ

âLorena and her boyfriend took great care of my boys. They were more than willing to provide the extra care and attention my 16 year old senior dog needs and extra exercise for my younger, more energetic dog. I would highly recommend Lorena for any of your dog care needs.â
âHowie runs into Elizabeth and Rodrigoâs home every time I drop him off like itâs his own home!! Thatâs all you can ask for as a pet parent!! They are so communicative, flexible and kind.â

Matias was great with latke, he seemed happy and well taken care of when we picked him up! One thing to note: we didnât realize there would be other dogs with him throughout the week. I donât think it mentioned that anywhere on the booking or in any messages beforehand so if thatâs a problem for your dog, just keep that in mind! There seemed to always be at least 1-2 other dogs there at a time.
I was very nervous about leaving Pippa with someone other than a family member for the first time, but Iâm so happy we connected with Sadie. Pippa clearly had such a wonderful experience with her. Sadie kept me updated throughout my time away with messages and pictures, and it was obvious that Pippa was so well cared for and having a relaxing time. I will certainly trust Sadie with Pippa anytime Iâm away and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog!
Mehlani was amazing!! Weâve never left our dog with a sitter before, however we felt so comfortable leaving her with Mehlani, and knew she was in great care during our vacation. She sent us pictures every day and provided us with lots of updates. Thank you Mehlani! We will definitely rebook with you.
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.
Nalix was wonderful with my two-and-a-half-year-old pup, Sati. Nalix has so much experience with dogs of all sorts, clearly loves them, and is very attentive to each one, which made me feel immediately at ease leaving Sati with her this first time. I know I'll be leaving Sati with her in the future. I also appreciated that Nalix takes the dogs to different dog parks, so they get variety. I loved getting pictures of Sati romping with other dogs there, and also snuggling back inside.
We had never use Rover before but had to travel internationally for 12 days and none of our family or friends could take our 14 week old puppy, Pepper. We found Savar and he offered to meet up before the handoff to meet us and our puppy. He asked all the right questions about our training. Savar was happy to help with some of the training and behavioral things we were working on as well! We had an easy drop off and got frequent pictures, videos, and texts throughout Pepperâs stay. When we picked him up, Pepper was a very happy and well cared for dog. We would not hesitate to rebook Savar and would recommend him to other first time or repeat Rover users!
Phillipa is superb. She was very understanding and accommodating in dealing with my dog Leo's separation anxiety. Leo obviously adores her, and from the photos she sent, was very comfortable in her lovely home. He loves walking on the Commonwealth Mall and got a lot of exercise doing that while I was away. Consider yourself lucky if she has an opening when you need to go away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Brookline on Rover is $61.05 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 4,050 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Brookline. 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 Brookline 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 Brookline 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 dogâs confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Brookline 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 Brookline.
Tip: You can upload your dogâs routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Brookline sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of youâand 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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.
