“Victoria did a fantastic job with Charlie. Her communication was excellent from start to finish: she kept me updated throughout and was easy to coordinate with. Charlie clearly had a great time and came home happy. I'll definitely be booking with Victoria again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive sitter.”

Aspen kept on our dogs natural schedule and made sure she had frequent walks and potty breaks. Our dog also enjoyed having the company of Aspen’s dog, Satsu :)”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and energy I bring to every pet I care for. I treat every animal like they’re my own — with patience, playfulness, and lots of love. I naturally connect with animals and have a calm, comforting vibe that even shy or nervous pets respond to. I have experience with puppies, so I know how to handle accidents, training routines, and all that wild puppy energy! I’m also great with senior dogs — I know how to move slow, be gentle, and pay attention to their special needs like meds, shorter walks, or extra care. I’m very observant and reliable, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos, messages, and videos so you feel 100% secure while you’re away. I’m the kind of sitter who talks to your pet like they’re my best friend (because they are 🐾💛). Pet care is a natural part of my daily life because I love being around animals and spending time outdoors. I have a flexible schedule, which means I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care during the week and on weekends. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I can easily fit pet care into my routine and give your pet the time, attention, and love they need. I make sure to stick to your pet’s usual schedule to keep them feeling safe and comfortable. For me, pet care doesn’t feel like “work” it’s something I genuinely enjoy and look forward to every day. When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, clean, and peaceful space where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, playtime, and cozy spots to rest. I keep a calm environment with lots of love, gentle attention, and consistent routines just like at home. When I care for pets in their home, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully so the pet’s schedule stays the same feeding times, walks, potty breaks, and any medication. I also take care of small things like cleaning up after them, refreshing water bowls, and sending cute updates so the owner feels at ease. Whether I’m in my home or theirs, I always make the pet feel safe, happy, and cared for like they’re my own.

Hana took wonderful care of Tobie while I was away. She was flexible with our schedule and incredibly communicative throughout the stay, sending photos so I always knew how he was doing. It was clear Tobie had a great time, and I could tell he felt comfortable and loved. Having someone I can trust with him makes being away so much easier. I've already booked Tobie's next stay with Hana, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to any dog owner!

Amanda is the best and most trusted dog sitter!! I have complete faith in her competency with our dog. She takes the time to really get to know every dog she cares for to cater to their needs, preferences, and favorite activities. Our dog loves Amanda! I know that when we drop her off, she will be safe, comfortable, and happy. It makes our vacations stress-free, knowing our pup is in amazing hands!

Michelle was wonderful. She was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. As a nervous first-time puppy owner, I asked if we could arrange a meet-and-greet so I could meet her, her son, and see the space where Bailey would be staying. Michelle was completely open to that, and spending a little time there beforehand made me feel very comfortable. On the day of the stay, I initially planned to leave Bailey for just a short time, but Michelle was completely flexible when I needed to extend it. Bailey came home very happy, which made me feel great about the experience. I would absolutely recommend Michelle and look forward to having Bailey stay with her again.

FAQs for Pet Boarding - Brookline

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Boarding in Brookline is $62 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $36 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 long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

There are 4,213 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Brookline. About 90% of Brookline sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

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.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
