“Julie was absolutely wonderful! Our dog can be quite anxious, but we could tell by his demeanor when he came home that Julie made him feel very comfortable and cared for! We'd love to have Dodge stay with Julie again, and we are very grateful for the updates and great care Dodge received!”
“My first experience was Rover was great. Nalix was amazing! We had a video chat before meeting. Then when she had my pups she communicated very well with check ins, pics and videos. Definitely will be using her services again. Chance & Skyy had a great time at her home.”
“Lyn was friggin awesome at watching Jo! She kept me updated with pictures and videos of what the two were up to, and even got him into game of thrones. I definitely recommend her to anyone. She’s super responsible and a great sitter.”
“Wonderful experience. Sarah took in our two pups on a last minute booking for the weekend, made sure she had all the details about their care, and sent pictures of how well they were doing. We were confident they were in good hands.”
About: I have taken care of dogs outside of my own for about 14 years. I found a passion of taking dogs out of big company kennels and bringing them into a warm and loving space! I have an extremely flexible schedule, so I am able to show the love and care that your pups deserve! Whether we are spending time playing or cuddling, your pup will be shown attention! I am located in a quiet area where there are many parts and quiet neighborhoods with sidewalks. I’m also in a space that is spacious giving your pup enough room to roam free and feel comfortable!
“Landy had such a great time with them and he quickly settled in with them (which was amazing because he is fairly anxious). They sent me lots of pictures and stayed in contact about how he was doing throughout his stay. They were super flexible with timing which was a huge help. Overall, they have been some of the best sitters I’ve had and I feel extremely comfortable leaving Landy with them. I will absolutely work with them again the next time I need to board my dog (I just hope that they will be available as they were the best sitters!)”
“Bosco loves his time with Jo & Adam. He gets excited whenever we are near their apartment and we know that means he's we'll cared for and has a great time with them.”
“Rebecca took great care of my dog during a weekend trip. I know he got plenty of exercise and love because he came home tired in the best way possible. Thank you!”
“Maja was so great with my dog, Zoey! I was a little nervous to drop Zoey off with a sitter because she was having some anxiety but Maja was extremely understanding and immediately put Zoey at ease. She is super communicative and accommodating. She also lives adjacent to a park and took Zoey for lots of walks / hikes in the park. Highly recommend her as a sitter for your pets!”
“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!”
“John was a really wonderful host for our Cosette! I was particularly impressed with his attention to detail and proactive daily communications. Cosette is a senior dog and he was extra mindful of her wellbeing and capabilities. Thank you, John!”
“After our original sitter had to cancel - Hunter and her partner graciously agreed to watch Ralph while we were away for a week. Having watched Ralph once before, Hunter and her partner are truly exceptional sitters. Taking Ralph in like one of their own, sending daily photos and updates, and just overall making sure Ralph got the best treatment makes them the best. I can’t recommend them enough!”
“Another great stay with Alan and Ying. They provide a lot of updates and are so caring for our dog. They have become our go-to sitter. Thank you as always!”
“Maya always has the best time with Lynne! We were out of the country for two weeks and felt so comfortable knowing that Maya would be well taken care of. The peace of mind is priceless. Thank you so much, Lynne!”
“Princess was great!! She was lovely to interact with, responsible, and responsive. She did a wonderful job having our pup stay with her for five days. We will use her again!”
“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. Would absolutely recommend them!”
“Very happy with Norman’s stay. Dan has a sweet dog of his own that Norman for along with. They went in a nice walk up to Blue Hills for some outside time. Great communication to let me know everything was going well.”
“Briane was fabulous to work with. We had an unexpected family need requiring help with our dog and Briane was so helpful in making our complicated arrangements. Our pup seemed to have a wonderful stay and we received photo updates along the way. Will definitely use again!”

We are so happy to have found Nyna! Right from the start, her warm, gentle, and welcoming presence calmed our Mica who is sometimes nervous in unfamiliar settings. Nyna asked all the right questions, extended her affectionate nature immediately, and we were confident in her care. Mica returned tired and happy, with great pictures and communication as well. Couldn't be better - thank you, Nyna!
K is amazing! My dog Sidon had his own vacation while I had mine. She is very caring and everytime she sent me the pictures of Sidon, he was so happy. She is also very thoughtful - she asked thorough questions in advance to accommodate the need of Sidon. Highly recommend!
Anh is a wonderful, caring dog sitter! She watched our new puppy for the weekend and she was fantastic with him. We got frequent updates, pictures, and videos, and he clearly loved his time with her when we picked him up. We were so grateful for the peace of mind that having Anh watch Iggy gave us, and will definitely trust her to watch our sweet boy again and again.
Julie was amazing . We left our doggies to be boarded with her . We got daily updates and multiple photos in a day. Sonny and Burt ( our fur babies ) were well taken care of and she made them feel at home by accommodating their needs. I had a stress free vacation thanks to Julie
Greta was amazing! She took such great care of Lila and did a fantastic job keeping me updated throughout the weekend. I especially loved receiving all the photos—it was so nice to see Lila happy and having a great time! I would absolutely recommend Greta and would love to book with her again! 🐾❤️
Natasha and Kishan did an amazing job taking care of Nutella! They sent pictures every day, and it was clear she had a wonderful time with them. I always feel at ease knowing Nutella is in their care because they treat her like their own. Thank you for taking such great care of her!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Brookline is $61 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $98 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 of October 2026, there are 4,092 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 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 Brookline 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 Brookline home-away-from-home, 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 Brookline 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 , 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 .
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.
