“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!”
About: I’ve always had at least two dogs in the house, and have always loved caring for cats! I have plenty of experience taking care of horses and chickens, and I’m no stranger to taking care of many pets at one time, for example, 3 large dogs, 3 cats and 3 horses at the same time! I have a super open availability this summer, with more than enough time for late nights, early mornings, and overnight work! I have reliable transportation and a super free schedule to care for furry friends! I live in a condo with two elderly chihuahuas (almost 15 years old!) named Glory and Hero, as well as a super loving mutt rescue named Mysti! I love going for long walks with Mysti, and taking my chihuahuas for nice short walks as they get older. Making sure Mysti gets the proper exercise and attention is super important as she is a medium sized dog in a condo, as well as accommodating my older dogs as they age.
“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!”
“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.”
“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!!”
“Nicholas was great with our very energetic, high-maintenance pup! He was very accommodating to a last minute request and I could tell Hazel was tired out after their walks together!!”
“Meaghan is great with my shy boy Shorty. She’s very patient with my slow walking dog and is also great at communicating any issues or timing conflicts. I would definitely recommend Meaghan!”
About: I’ve been a dedicated dog owner for over 10 years and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to caring for my own dog, I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, where I helped care for dogs by walking, feeding, socializing, and providing them with attention and comfort. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, following routines, and making sure they feel happy and loved while their owners are away. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own! I’m currently on break for the summer from graduate school receiving my Masters in Social Work, and am free almost anytime during the day until September! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires trust, and I’ll always treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect. I’ll carefully follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions to help them feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!
“Zarah was very responsive and considerate. I appreciated all of the information she collected during our initial conversations, so she could plan appropriately around our dog’s needs. We’ll definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve been around dogs and have taken care of them all my life. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages. I enjoy walking and looking after dogs! I have no class two days a week and miss walking my family’s dogs back home in Seattle. I would love to walk yours and hang out with them. I look after my family’s two dogs often and walk and feed them. They are energetic, so I am used to that in dogs. I have experience with chill dogs and very energetic ones.
About: Hi everyone, my name is Lynn and I am a veterinarian working in the greater Boston area. I don’t have my own dog and would love to spend time with yours! I have thousands of animal handling hours both in a clinical setting and a boarding setting as well. I love all animals and spending time with yours would be the highlight of my day. I am great with animals big or small and any breed. I am working full time and have availability throughout the week, but usually require a few days notice to ensure that I’m able to accommodate your booking. My usual work day starts at 2pm and ends at 2am. I am working full time and have availability throughout the week, but usually require a few days notice to ensure that I’m able to accommodate your booking. My usual work day starts at 2pm and ends at 2am. I will be able to monitor your pet appropriately on walks and during drop ins to ensure that their safety and well-being are never in jeopardy.
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.
About: I am new to Rover, but have taken care of dogs since I was 11 with my childhood dogs, most large sized! Additionally, I have ample experience with pet sitting for neighbors, including both cats and dogs, and overnight stays. I am familiar with dogs with special dietary needs and preparing their meals, and distributing oral medication. I love meeting all kinds of pets and seeing each one’s unique personalities! I am a recent BU graduate with quite the flexible schedule! While I do some remote tasks from home each day, I am able to create my own schedule. Therefore, I can accommodate a variety of visits. I am only unavailable Wednesday nights from 6:30-9:30 pm. With the services I provide, I can help ensure a safe environment for your pet at your home or on walks. I am experienced with pets that are crate trained as well as pets that are not. I understand that each pet may have different levels of trust towards new people and look forward to building that with them!
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.
About: Proud dog-owner for the past three years! Grew up in a house cosplaying as a petting zoo- cats, frogs, dogs, hamsters, you name it! Extremely flexible, willing to adapt, and excited to get to know your pets! Just a teacher trying to make enough money to have a career of not making enough money #fortheloveofthegame I currently teach full-time, so evenings and weekends provide the most availability. However, with summer around the corner, my availability will be expanding! After mid-May, I will have availability from 3:30 PM onwards. I currently live in an apartment in West Harlem with my 4-year old mutt. She warms up to most doggos, but an intro would be necessary! The apartment is near multiple parks, and I am located in a walkable area.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brookline
Devon was able to walk Bebe, my dog, with less than an hour’s notice, and it was so incredibly helpful! She even fed her for me and kept me updated throughout the whole visit. I really appreciated how thoughtful and reliable she was. I’ll definitely be asking her to walk Bebe again whenever I need someone! 🥰
Sarah took really great care of my dog this week especially on short notice. She went the extra mile making sure she had the chance to finish her food after my stubborn pup refused to eat her breakfast with me. Sarah even cleaned up my dog’s water bowl after I had spilled it on my way out one morning, all without asking. My dog and I both highly recommend her!
Alina has been really thoughtful about adjusting her walks to help Tango continue maturing. The care she provided Tango gave us a lot of peace of mind. We want to express our deepest gratitude to Alina for the excellent dedication and love she provided to Tango We are really going to miss her.
Christianna was very patient with Ritchie, who can be shy and nervous with new people. She gave him the time he needed to feel comfortable and kept me updated on how everything went. She was responsive, communicative, and thoughtful throughout the process. I really appreciated her patience with him!
Faith was the most helpful! We booked her last minute and she accommodated all of my questions/changes enthusiastically. Her love for our pups was felt from 300 miles away and the peace of mind she gave us that they were being well cared for meant the world. Will definitely book again! Thank you faith! Highly recommend!
Liliboo has been going on walks with Lynne for quite a while now, and she has been absolutely wonderful with him! He’s always so happy to see her, and Lynne is incredibly reliable, communicative, flexible, and easy to work with. Most recently, I reached out on very short notice because of an unexpected situation, and she was so understanding and accommodating and made it work for us. I’m always so appreciative of how wonderful she is with Liliboo and how much I can count on her!

The average cost for Dog Walking in Brookline on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 10,798 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:
- 90% 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.
