“Dusty had a great time with Julie, and she was terrific. Warm and caring, really great communication throughout Dusty’s stay, which is always much appreciated. Flexible and understanding on a traffic delay I had coming to get her. Would definitely have Dusty stay again and highly recommend to anyone else looking for quality care for your pup!”
“Hyesoo and her family did an excellent job taking care of our dog. We greatly appreciated their exceptional communication and daily updates with photos. We would definitely recommend Hyesoo to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
“Isabella did a great job in minding Marvin and Mellow. My cats are usually nervous at first, but settled down really well throughout their stay. She kept us in the loop with loads of photos and videos. By the end, our cats were content and I would definitely book her again!”
“I couldn’t have asked for better people to take care of my boy! He had the best time, made all the furry friends and all of the love! Jess sent me regular updates and photos of him all cuddled up and happy!”
“Andy did a great job caring for Wally! He was very communicative and sent lots of updates. Wally had lots of walks, playtime, and time spent relaxing—and came back home a very happy pup! I highly recommend Andy!”
“Cindy was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Bear! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request, which we really appreciated. Throughout his stay, she sent daily updates with photos and videos so we always knew how he was doing, and she responded quickly to all of my messages. It was clear that she genuinely cared about him and spent lots of time giving him attention and snuggles. Bear was very well cared for, and we felt completely at ease knowing he was with her. We will definitely be reaching out to Cindy again in the future and would highly recommend both her and her brother to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”
“Outstanding! Our 1 year old lab had an amazing time. Michael was incredibly easy to work with and very flexible. He sent a bunch of pictures that showed our pup having the best time. We highly recommend Michael!!”
“Kaitlyn was incredible! Not only did she accommodate Annie on super short notice after a last minute cancellation, but she took phenomenal care of Annie and made sure she was as comfortable as possible during her stay. Provided regular updates, gave Annie her medication on time, and gave her plenty of exercise. Couldn’t recommend Kaitlyn more!”
“Ling & Ye took great care of our pup, Truffles for a weeklong boarding. Communication was great and we kept receiving updates. Truffles had a great time staying with the family and made some new friends.”
“Lyn watched Jack for 5 nights, it was his first time staying with her. Lyn was very professional, flexible, and caring! She was easy to communicate with and I received daily updates and pictures from her. Jack seemed to have a good time with her, I wouldn't hesitate to book with her again!”
“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!”
“Great, easy stay! Steven was responsive and flexible with pickup times. He worked with me to understand my dog's feeding quirks and walk schedule. He sent pictures during the trip and I knew my doggo was safe and comfortable with him. Thanks!”
“Very flexible, communicative, and overall wonderful. Her energy is so calm and friendly, I know Finn had the best time! Would absolutely book again in the future!”
“Cody was a fantastic sitter for our pup while we were away for a long weekend. She provided great daily updates and was incredibly kind, flexible, and communicative when our pup experienced some separation + thunderstorm anxiety during his visit and when we experienced flight delays on our return trip home. We will definitely re-book with Cody in the future!”

“Betsy and her family created a welcoming environment that made it easy for our nervous dog to adjust. Betsy gave him all the care and attention he needed and was super responsive through our vacation. We will try to book again before we move.”
“Alyson is always amazing watching my cat! He’s had some medical issues lately and she was extremely attentive, followed all my instructions, and gave me constant updates on how he was doing. My trip out of town was much much less stressful thanks to her. I would recommend Alyson for anyone looking to have their cat stay with someone while they are away. Thanks Alyson!!”
“Barbara was an absolutely amazing dog sitter. She was attentive to my dog’s needs and made sure my dog felt comfortable staying with her. Barbara sent plenty of pictures which reassured me my dog was in good hands. I don’t think my dog wanted to leave!

Jamie and her family took amazing care of our Ziggy. I knew as soon as we walked into her house during the meet and greet that Ziggy felt comfortable and enjoyed visiting with the other dogs and exploring freely. While we were away, Jamie sent pics and videos and I could see Ziggy was happy and staying busy. The next time she saw Jamie she was super excited, proof that she had a strong connection and enjoyed her visit. I’ll use Jamie again!
Kathy was so accommodating and responsive! And she sent pictures of Frankie all day long to keep us posted. It was Frankie’s first experience in a house with cats so we were a bit worried, but everything worked out great and all the animals lived in harmony. We will definitely book again!
Isabella took wonderful care of Stella for almost two weeks, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. As a newer rescue (she's a German Shepherd/Pit mix, still settling into her routines), I was nervous about leaving her for that long, but she put me completely at ease. She sent regular updates and photos, which meant a lot. When I picked Stella up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for — tired in the best way, like she'd had two great weeks of exercise and attention. I'd trust Isabella with Stella again without hesitation, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a boarder who genuinely loves dogs.
The boarding with Poulomi for our Red Golden Leo was as always fabulos! Poukomi was sending many pictures twice a day with updates. We could see our dog smiling and being happy - such a nice connection. As in the previous times - Leo got so attached to her that he almost did not want to go home with me :). We will board with Poulomi also in the future.
Elizabeth was super kind and helpful for our dog, who needs medications and careful feeding. Our dogs got along really well, took walks together, and lounged in the sun. Elizabeth sent us lots of pictures and updates, and our dog was clearly very happy. Highly recommend!
Hannah was wonderful with Ziggy! Ziggy got lots of great walks, playtime, and so much love during her time with Hannah. Hannah was also an excellent communicator both in arranging the stay and while caring for Ziggy. We will absolutely plan to work with Hannah again in the future.
Hyesoo is amazing with dogs! We left our very clingy mini dachshund with her for 6 nights. Our dog loves constant attention and has endless energy, but Hyesoo took such great care of her, and she absolutely loved staying with her. Hyesoo sent us lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We could tell Peanut was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave her with Hyesoo again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter.
Emma- I can’t say enough how wonderful you are. The absolute best dog sitter. I’m such an anxious mess and worry about everything and Emma made me feel so comfortable and reassured that Winnie was in great hands. I know for sure Winnie will miss you. Until next time 💜

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Brookline
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Brookline on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 4,131 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.
92% 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 dog’s 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 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 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.
