“Hyesoo is responsible and dependable, communication was excellent from start to finish. She shows up on time, followed the instructions, and really cared about my dogs’ safety and well-being. My dogs came back happy and well exercised”

About: I have grown up loving all animals and have lived in a household with dogs. I feed them, take them out, take them on walks, and bathe them. I also sometimes dogsit my other family members dogs, which includes feeding them, walking them and taking them outside. I am currently unemployed until the school semester begins again. I have a lot of free time and would love to help out with your pet! I currently have two dogs at home, both of different breeds and both requiring different levels of attention. I spend a lot of time with them, inside and outside and love to take them on walks and let them play outside.
“Grace is so helpful and thoughtful Am so lucky to have her take care of my dog Nathan! He is so excited and obviously happy and well cared for by her -thx again!!! Joel Brookline MA”

“Mirabel is always so good with our dog! She’s highly reliable and clearly loves working with animals. Her constant communication is excellent as well. I’ll always recommend her!”

“Alissa is an amazing dog walker. We deeply appreciate how reliable and consistent she is, and how well she manages our dog with reactivity. She always comes on time and has been mindful of the summer heat when going on walks. Alissa has been an absolute asset to our family and we are wicked lucky to have her!!”


“Alexandra has been so incredibly helpful in walking Linus a couple days a week for me! She keeps me updated at all times and Linus is very comfortable with her. I’m so grateful for her service!”

“Sabrina is awesome! She is great with communication, super supportive with maintaining our normal schedules and rules, and always sends pictures and updates! I love knowing that my dog is getting loving care while I am at work :)”

About: I’ve provided pet care for both my best friend and my aunt multiple times, usually for about a week at a time. I’ve cared for their dogs in their homes and always made sure they felt safe, loved, and well-exercised while their owners were away. I’ve also always naturally connected with animals and get along really well with both cats and dogs, even bigger or more energetic dogs. And as of January, I’m officially a cat mom to my adorable son Oswald (Ozzy) 🥹 so I definitely have plenty of experience with cats now too! I treat every pet like my own and love giving them lots of attention, playtime, and cuddles while making sure they feel comfortable and happy :) Pet care fits pretty easily into my schedule because I’m currently a college student with plenty of time between classes, full days off, and weekends available. I’m able to work around your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention and care they need. Whether that means going for walks, sticking to their usual schedule, playing, or just hanging out and giving them lots of love and cuddles, I have plenty of flexibility to make sure they feel happy and comfortable :) Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I live in a roomy, pet-friendly apartment with two other people and my two cats, who are both used to being around other animals. I’d make sure your pet has plenty of space to feel comfortable and would give them lots of attention, love, and care throughout their stay. :) When pets stay with me, we usually spend time together in the living room — great for dogs who can’t do stairs — or relaxing in my bedroom if they prefer a cozier space. I’m always gentle, patient, and attentive, making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and completely at ease while you’re away.
“Very communicative throughout the session. Cleo and i’s first time using Rover and Kieran made the experience super easy and was very patient with Cleo to ensure she was able to fully utilize her potty break & get her steps in :)”


About: I’m an experienced and loving dog sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. As a lifelong dog lover and dog mom myself, I understand that your pup is family—and I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want for my own. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs through regular sitting, walks, overnight stays, feeding, playtime, and keeping them comfortable in their owners’ absence. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual routine and personality, whether they’re energetic and playful, laid-back and cuddly, or a little shy and need extra time to warm up. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved, and right at home while giving you peace of mind. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands! My schedule is dedicated toward pet sitting. I will spend the day with the pups. We usually go to the dog park twice daily along with an early morning walk. I allow the dogs to free roam my space. They are welcome on the couch and bed. There are several rooms for separation if needed.
“I cannot say enough good things about Roshni ! When my regular dog walker broke her leg, I needed a last-minute dog walker, and Roshni graciously stepped in. From the start, the communication was great. I received prompt updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. From the pics, it was clear that Roshni bonded with Betsy and my pup was relaxed, and happy when I returned. Roshni is reliable, professional, and wonderful with dogs!”

“Grace was wonderful! Very professional and caring. She took care of my Husky over the weekend which is no small task with such a high energy pup and she did better than I could have hoped for. I will definitely be using her again in the future and you should too.”

“Emma is amazing. Great at communication, trustworthy and absolutely amazing with my dog. He is always looking forward to his walks with Emma and will for sure miss her!”

“We are so grateful to have found Nicholas! He is patient and understanding with our somewhat anxious but entirely lovable dog. Always on time, friendly, and helpful. We couldn't ask for a better dog walker. Thank you, Nicholas!”

“Kayla is wonderful! Very detail oriented, caring, sweet and Benji loved her! She was very patient with me explaining all of Benji’s routine and was very diligent about following all of it. Highly recommend!!”

About: My family had dogs my entire life. Up until the age of 18, I lived with two or more dogs. I've always helped to take care of them, and loved walking them. Since I moved to Boston for college, I haven't been able to experience the joy of having a dog consistently in my life. I thought I'd pick up dog walking as a way to recreate that feeling! As mentioned above, I've had experience walking and taking care of dogs my entire life. I'm a responsible and mature college student looking to make some extra cash and hang out with dogs! I'm currently a student, so my availability varies from day to day. I'm available most weekends, as well as before 3pm on Tuesday and Friday. I'm also available from roughly 12-1 on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. As previously mentioned, I've had a long history of walking dogs. I'm comfortable with handling dogs on a leash and am willing to walk as long as needed. More than anything, I want to make sure your dog is healthy, safe, and happy!

We’ve left many reviews for Susie, all of which have been A++, and this will be another one of those. Our border collie struggles with new people, but she has always loved Susie from moment one. I think it is her calm demeanor and confidence — our pup really responds to it. We love Susie and look forward to seeing her again soon!

I cannot say enough good things about Roshni ! When my regular dog walker broke her leg, I needed a last-minute dog walker, and Roshni graciously stepped in. From the start, the communication was great. I received prompt updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. From the pics, it was clear that Roshni bonded with Betsy and my pup was relaxed, and happy when I returned. Roshni is reliable, professional, and wonderful with dogs!

Luke was fantastic with my pup! He was so kind and made time to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, and she immediately loved him. He was always punctual, incredibly flexible, and seamless to communicate with—always quick and friendly to reply. Best of all my pup (energetic 2 year old Pomsky) got solid exercise on her walks because she was mellow and relaxed whenever we got home. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring walker!

Thank you Suzette for the last minute ask of you!! Brady is doing fine. Just a lot for her to handle and she is also getting used to have a little brother. They are home and resting today. We appreciate how much time and effort you put into taking care of them. You really did a phenomenal job and communicated well We appreciate that!!!
Priscilla is reliable, kind, and a great communicator. She even went above and beyond when my dog Milo ended up with a tummy ache while in her care. I loved all the pictures she sent and felt at ease knowing Milo was in good hands. I would definitely hire her again!

Wendy’s great with Bebe! I love that she can always accommodate my last-minute requests. She has walked Bebe a few times, and Bebe always has a great time with her. Wendy always makes sure she’s okay after the walk and feeds her if needed. I really appreciate how reliable and caring she is!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Brookline on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 10,950 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Brookline. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Brookline. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Brookline.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brookline. On Rover:
- 91% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
