“Dana was absolutely great. Very attentive to our dog, and really got to know her before taking her into his home. Left confident that she was in good hands. Dana is also an absolute pleasure to talk to.”
“Once again, Ruya was a great help in watching and taking care of our dog! She is always very responsive and sends lots of pictures and videos! We love Ruya and will continue to use her boarding service in the future!”
“John is the best sitter we could ask for! Our dog loves him and he spoils her with affection and lots of walks. We have now trusted him with a short trip and now a much longer trip. He provides great updates and makes us feel at ease leaving our baby. I would recommend him to any dog owner!”
“Joe and Adam were awesome with Livey, she can be a lot because she has so much energy, but they made sure to give her plenty of exercise and stimulation as I had instructed, and were responsive and willing to ask questions if necessary”
“Alan and Ying took wonderful care of Ripley during his four-night stay. They were very thoughtful in their approach to make him feel comfortable and at home. Alan and Ying provided a lot of communication, including some great videos. They were especially flexible about timing for pick-up which helped to ensure that my kids could see Ripley before they (the kids) went to bed when we got home from our trip. We really enjoyed working with Alan and Ying.”
“Tyler was great to Coco! He helped her become part of the pack he was watching and kept me well informed. She was so exhausted after her stay- like she just got back from summer camp!”
“Joseph did a wonderful job with my 4 month old puppy Penny. She is a lovely young girl, but can be a handful and is not completely house trained. He showed patience with her and was wonderful for me to interact with. I will be using him again.”
“Jess was amazing with Coco! Made me feel super comfortable before dropping her off, was accommodating to Coco’s nuances, and provided updates throughout her stay! Coco took to Jess and her family immediately, and loved playing with the other dogs! Highly recommend :)”
“We left Winnie with Maja for a week while we were away. Winnie can be dog aggressive and likes to pull on the leash especially when she sees bunnies, but it seemed like Winnie did great with Maja. She can also become depressed by the end of the week when we leave her but she seemed to get more comfortable with Maja as the week went on and when I picked her up! Maja was great with communication and sending pictures daily!”
“This was our second time leaving our dog with Xiaoyuan and William. Our dog is very anxious and slow to warm up to new people but he settled in so quickly with them! They sent so many super cute videos, pictures, and updates while we were away which we loved! Definitely will rebook with them again.”
“We couldn’t have had a better experience with Betsy and her family taking care of our furry guy. He had such a wonderful time and we received frequent updates with photos. Her kids told us stories about him when we picked him up- they made him feel like part of the family. We hope to have him stay with them again!”
“Lynne was a great care giver for our 6 month old pup. Her communication leading up to and during his stay put our minds at ease and we loved seeing him happy in Lynne’s home. The drop-off and pick-up went very smoothly as Lynne was very willing to address our instructions for Archie. Thank you again, Lynne!”
“Gabriela was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Cocoa! From the start, it was clear she’s a true dog lover—warm, affectionate, and attentive. She sent us frequent updates and lots of cute photos, which made us feel really comfortable while we were away. What stood out most was how flexible and understanding she was when our schedule changed last minute. She handled it so smoothly and made the whole experience stress-free. We’re so grateful to have found her and would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Gustavo was absolutely perfect to watch my 9 month old puppy. He was intentional, caring, and had great communication. He took care of Remi under a last minute request and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Definitely recommend and will re-book when I can!”
“Maria Luiza and McAben were great with Kala! She had a great time and was well cared for! They were communicative and very kind and caring with Kala”
“Hana was fantastic. She took great care of my pup, and was very available with updates and pics. I also had some travel delays during my booking, and she was very flexible with my pick up. She put me at ease leaving my pup with her. I highly recommend Hana for dog boarding.”
“Tianyue took great care of Elliot. She sent lots of photos and managed his medications and eye drops very well. I felt super comfortable leaving Elliot with her for nearly a week.”
“Brooklynn and Adam are amazing!! My dog is anxious and leash reactive, but he had no problems staying with Brooklynn. She made sure to walk him in quiet areas during less busy times, and her home is quiet and peaceful, which I'm sure helped Monty a ton. She had no problem giving him two different medications every morning, and he got so much love all weekend. We got so many pictures of Monty snuggling with Brooklynn and Adam - so cute! It was like he went to the spa for the weekend - we would love for her to watch Monty again!”
“Our dogs had a great stay at Maya’s place, they’re still tired a day later! Maya is very communicative and accommodating and sent us lots of pictures and updates of the dogs thriving. They seem like they had a great “vacation”. Thanks Maya!”

Hana was fantastic. She took great care of my pup, and was very available with updates and pics. I also had some travel delays during my booking, and she was very flexible with my pick up. She put me at ease leaving my pup with her. I highly recommend Hana for dog boarding.
Chantel was an amazing pet sitter for us. It was my first time hiring someone to watch my cat and she made me feel at ease with how welcoming and caring she was upon meeting her. My cat is 15 yrs old and very skittish and when I picked her up she was laying comfortably in Chantels bed not wanting to come home lol. She accepted my request the day before for boarding my cat which I was extremely grateful for, and even was accepting of my cats special diet. I would 100% recommend Chantel as a pet sitter, she even sent pictures with updates for me.
Appreciate the adaptation and communication! A bit harder to plan around Nainika's meeting schedule than other Rovers but she was adaptable and drop off Bentley when our flight was delayed, and I did a "silent drop off" using her door code to drop him off with her while she was on meeting. She sent pictures of Bentley peeing in the house -- he needed a bit more of a walk than just being let outside in the backyard during a heavy rainstorm. Unfortunately, did loose one of his toys, but offered to cover the cost of replacement.
Cameron is so spectacular I confess we are tempted to gate keep him 😂 But of course we'd never dream of it. He's reliable, kind, patient, and a delight to work with. My dog comes home so happy after a stint with Cameron and his pup. We'll be booking with him for as long as he's taking bookings :)
What an amazing time our dog had with Greta - such a pro at looking after our pup. Greta is exceptional at caring for dogs - communication was A+ and our Jack Russell Marnie was extremely well looked after and cared for. I would recommend Greta to anyone looking for a dog sitter - the perfect service and home away from home. Thanks to Juniper too for being extra welcoming! 🐶
We had such a great experience with Michaela! Our pup stayed with her for two weeks, and we couldn’t have been more appreciative of her help. Michaela was attentive, caring, and made sure he was happy and comfortable throughout his stay. We also really appreciated the consistent photo updates. It was amazing to know he was doing well and being so well taken care of. Ru can’t wait to be back!
Phillipa was absolutely wonderful! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and just took the absolute best care of Leo. I was out of town for a week and knew that Leo was having the best time going on lots of walks and getting lots of cuddles. Will absolutely be rebooking!
We had the pleasure of meeting Andy and his partner with our dog Gabby and they were instantly likeable and very understanding and accommodating. They looked after her so perfectly despite the tough weather, they made sure to send us regular updates with every single walk, which we so appreciated! It made our time apart from Gabby just a tiny bit better with every new piece of content. The communication, drop-off and pick-up all went so smoothly that we would not hesitate to go back to them again, next time we have to leave our precious dog with someone.
Rongan was amazing when it came to caring for our puppy, Cashew. She was incredibly communicative and had a deep understanding of the intricate details involved in puppy care. I highly recommend her services and will definitely book with her again in the future. She truly deserves a perfect 10/10 recommendation!

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Brookline on Rover is $61.05 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 4,167 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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
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.
