“I am so grateful for Liza! I can see the way Koda looks at her in the photos he’s sooo comfortable with her. She’s always on top of things when it comes to caring for Koda… sometimes more than me! She also has been so accommodating even with short notice on my end. She’s amazing and we are so lucky to have her !”
“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”
“Santiago was amazing with my 2 very high energy dogs! He was very quick to respond and gave lots of updates and sent lots of pictures! Would definitely use again & highly recommend”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs, both larger and active like my lab and smaller dogs like my chihuahua mix. I’ve dog watched before, usually two dogs at a time. I’ve had to give oral medication while pet sitting as well. I have classes from Monday through Thursday until 2pm. I can always do a walk or drop-in on those days, but I’d only be available for overnights Thursday-Saturday. I usually care with a respect to what the dog needs. Some dogs need to play, get on a lot of walks, get their energy out. Others need a companion while there family is gone and just need some cuddles. Some are a mixture of both. I make sure to respect what the client requests, the dog’s basic needs, and the dog personality for care.
“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: Hi! I’ve been taking care of my own pets my entire life and started looking after others as soon as I was old enough. I miss my pets from home and am looking to make a little extra money by taking care of yours! I have years of experience with cats and dogs. I work a very flexible 9-5 job from home with the occasional in-office visit, so I have time to stop in on or walk your pets during the work day and/or stay overnight while you’re out of town. My apartment isn’t fit for pets, but I am very experienced with staying in others’ homes. I am respectful of your space and privacy while making your pet feel at ease.
About: I grew up in a household where there were always other animals around. At a time, I’ve had a maximum of 4 pets in my home, 2 at minimum. I grew up taking care of my sick-prone Chihuahua who I cared for until she was 16 years old. I am familiar with senior pets (both cats and dogs) and can administer basic sickness medication. I am an avid animal lover and would love to spend some time with your pet!!! I am a recent college graduate! I work remotely and my schedule is extremely flexible. While I can not offer care in my home for your pet(s) due to my housing, I have the flexibility to check-in for long and short periods of time, house sit, take animals on walk, administer basic medication, just love and cuddle on them—you name it. I am happy to work around your animal’s schedule and figure out what works best for you and them! In caring for your pet, my top priority is ensuring that your animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and that you feel safe and comfortable with my service! Your pet’s safety is my number one concern: I will take the time to learn your pet’s specific needs and ensure that their home is secure. I believe trust is the foundation of a great pet-sitting experience, so I will clearly communicate with you regarding your pet with regular updates and following your instructions! I am familiar with most safety systems, fences, gates, codes, etc… I myself am an anxious pet mom, so I am happy to meet you where you are at in regards to communication about your pet.
“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.”
“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!”
“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 have a deep love and respect for non-human animals. Growing up with multiple indoor and outdoor cats and a family dog (a feisty miniature poodle!), I have developed a strong knowledge base of pet behavior. In my work as a pet caretaker, I look for and respond to behavioral cues and needs, allow space for pets to come to me and feel safe with me, adapt to pets' energy levels, encourage play, and bring a compassionate, patient, and responsible nature. I have most flexibility to take care of your pet on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Afternoons work well for me. Mornings depend on my schedule and pet parents' schedule. First, I greet the pet and check in on their overall wellbeing. If I am pet-sitting, I will take a quick look about their living environment to make sure that it is clean and safe. If I notice an accident or that the pet has gotten into something, I alert the pet parent. I take care of any in-home needs, and then I spend time connecting with the pet through play, attention, and treats (if allowed!). If I am dog-walking, I make sure to bring the pet's gear (leash, harness, poop bags, water, treats) and prepare a planned route.
“Nicole took the time to really gauge what Cocoa wanted each day. Some days all she wants is to play or get belly rubs and others she wants a long walk around the neighborhood. She always sent a report on how Cocoa was and what they did and included great pictures of her playing or getting pets. I couldn't recommend Nicole enough!”
“If you have an anxious dog who struggles in meeting new people Luis is the best sitter/walker. Luis is extremely empathetic, patient and very accommodating. He goes at your dog's pace! I was worried about leaving my dog with anyone since he is challenging to work with and Luis has greatly eased my concerns.”
About: I absolutely love dogs, and while mine are at home back in California I would love to spend some time taking care of dogs in Boston. I have had dogs for my entire life and gotten to experience every aspect of caring for them. I have also gone through the process of training two guide dog puppies (basic behavior and becoming comfortable with different environments). I love to walk dogs and pet sit, with a lifetime of experience in both due to my own dogs! I am currently working remotely 9:30am-5:30pm. I can house sit during the day and walk dogs before 9:30am, during lunchtime, or after work! I am also available on weekends. I can take care of your pet at their own home as I have experience with overnight pet sitting and am happy to house-sit as well if you are out of town.
“Ana Beatriz is wonderful and I highly recommend her. My dog instantly loved her and she does a great job at motivating him on walks (sometimes he's a bit lazy). She also communicates very well and provides great updates.”
“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!!”
“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!”
The median cost per walk for dog walking in Brookline is $24

Alissa has been an absolute blessing for our family. She is the most reliable person ever, always communicative, and extremely knowledgeable. I can rest easily when Alissa has my dog, which as a very anxious dog parent, rarely ever happens. She controls my dog's reactivity without any difficulty and is proactive with avoiding her triggers. Margo loves when Alissa comes and so do we!!
Mirabel was so awesome! She helped me out last minute by walking Theo and even though he gave her lots of trouble by hiding from her at first, she was so patient with him and still took him on a long walk. She provided a thorough note and lots of photos which I greatly appreciated. 10/10 would recommend!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Brookline on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 10,997 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.
