âVictoria 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.â

âArianna took great care of my pup for two weeks while I was out of the country. She sent pictures daily and was great about keeping me up to speed about any health issues. Will contract her again for my next tripâ

âAspen took great care of our small dog during our 2 week international vacation. She made sure to give us daily updates with photos and was great with communication despite the time difference. 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 Aspenâs dog, Satsu :)â

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and energy I bring to every pet I care for. I treat every animal like theyâre my own â 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! Iâm also great with senior dogs â I know how to move slow, be gentle, and pay attention to their special needs like meds, shorter walks, or extra care. Iâm very observant and reliable, and I always keep pet parents updated with photos, messages, and videos so you feel 100% secure while youâre away. Iâm the kind of sitter who talks to your pet like theyâre my best friend (because they are đžđ). 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 Iâm available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight care during the week and on weekends. Whether itâs 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 petâs usual schedule to keep them feeling safe and comfortable. For me, pet care doesnât feel like âworkâ itâs 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 ownerâs instructions carefully so the petâs 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 Iâm in my home or theirs, I always make the pet feel safe, happy, and cared for like theyâre my own.
âLady just had her first visit with Elliot. She has had a traumatic past and does not respond well to strangers, however in this case, she immediately seemed to feel safe and comfortable. We are very grateful for the peace of mind he provided!â

âIrina, in a pinch, saved the day with a last minute ask to sit my Aussie for the weekend. She was easily one of most attentive, thoughtful and proactive (questions about habits, food, doâs / donât) Rover Iâve worked with and couldn't recommend her more highly. Iâll certainly be coming back!â

âAs always, Ashley took such good care of our dog, Ginger! She kept us in the loop and sent us plenty of pictures! Ginger is looking forward to her next stay with Ashley and Kevin already!â

âSydney was wonderful with my dog, Harley! She took extremely good care of her and she was nice and worn out when I picked her up. I would not hesitate to rebook or recommend her to someone else!â


âNainika took such great care of my terrier, Penny! Sent me updates and videos. I highly recommend Nainika as a pet sitter. She was responsive to my messages right away. Thank you Nainika for caring for Penny!â

âAllie watched our pup for a long weekend. She was so sweet and loving, sent regular photo and text updates and was flexible on drop off and pick up times. We are definitely going to use Allie again.â

âTyson absolutely loved staying with Vanessa. That was the first time I picked him up and he wasn't acting funny. He was just his normal happy self! Thank you for taking such good care of my baby boy!â

âGabrielle and Blade were awesome caretakers for Nudge! They were very enthusiastic and thoughtful in preparing for her stay. Gabrielle sent many pictures and gave updates throughout. Their dog Gigi is adorable and gets along well with other dogs! I would highly recommend them to care for your dog!â

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!

Cindy is the best! She takes such wonderful care of our dog, Bear, and gives us complete peace of mind while we're away. She sends updates and photos throughout the day, and it's clear how much she genuinely cares about him. We always know Bear is safe, happy, and well taken care of with Cindy. We couldn't recommend her more!

Megan was absolutely incredible with Larry! She went above and beyond to make sure he had the best time, taking him on walks, playing fetch, and even bringing him along for a run. The picture updates were amazing and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear he was having the time of his life and getting so much love and attention. Honestly, he didnât even want to come home! đ I couldnât recommend Megan more highly. I will definitely be booking with her again. Thank you for taking such amazing care of my by!

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.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs 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 youâre 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 petâs personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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 Roverâs 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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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, Roverâs reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
