“Zelun was so good with our dog. We will definitely be using zelun in the future. He sent lots of photos and had great communication. He also brought Iggy on many adventures each day like the park and nice walks!”
“Zwany is amazing as always. She's responsive, caring, and always puts your dog's best interest first. I have booked with her three times now and I wouldn't want to book with anyone else!”
“Christina was amazing! I booked last minute and she was eager to take care of Beru for the weekend. She sent lots of photo updates. Beru has some quirks and Christina was more than capable and happy to accommodate Beru’s personality. Would 100% book with her again!”
“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!”
“Ruya was very communicative and responsive from the beginning. We would definitely book again. Ashlynn was well taken care of and we got lots of pictures of her!”
“Ilya was responsive, gave detailed daily updates, and sent pictures throughout the stay. He took Lia on multiple walks a day, and I think she really enjoyed her time there. I also appreciated that Ilya was super accommodating with a last minute change in my pick up time.”
“Amazing dog sitters! Lovely family who made my dog feel comfortable immediately. They are great about sharing photos on a daily basis. My dog is always loved as if she is their own when she goes there.”
“Crystal & William really saved us with a late booking and we couldn’t be more excited we found them! Gronk had the best time and came home super happy and healthy! They kept us updated with loads of pictures of their adventures we cant wait for Gronk to stay with them again!”
“Lynne took such great care of Napoleon. Napoleon is a senior dog with diabetes and cushings disease and Lynne had never given insulin shots to a dog before but took it on without fail! Napoleon came home super happy and healthy. We are so thankful to have found Lynne to care for our little old man while we went away for the week.”
“Victoria saved my life with watching my pets on short notice nonetheless. My apartment was having maintenance and I desperately wanted care for my pets. Victoria didn’t just provide excellent care for my pets, but she kept me informed throughout the day with pictures and messages to keep me at ease. I would be honored to have her help with the pets again.”
“Thank you so much for watching Harley! I could tell immediately that she felt comfortable/trusted you when I dropped her off and it made such a difference in allowing me to enjoy my trip. She’s already eaten the treat you sent her home with.”
“Gina was so wonderful! She was so good with Gremlin, who is a big pittie and can be a lot to handle. She also went above and beyond and dropped him back off when I was having car trouble. Sent pics, super sweet and communicative, would recommend and rebook!”
“Alyson is always amazing watching my cat! He’s had some medical issues lately and she was extremely attentive, followed all my instructions, and gave me constant updates on how he was doing. My trip out of town was much much less stressful thanks to her. I would recommend Alyson for anyone looking to have their cat stay with someone while they are away. Thanks Alyson!!”
“Phillipa was wonderful. She took the time to understand my dogs needs which I’m very grateful for. Ava got plenty of love and exercise, and I can tell that she felt very safe and cared for during her stay. Thank you so much Phillipa!”
“My experience: Great communication, flexibility, attention to detail and the needs of my dog. When away from my Skittles, pics and videos were sent to me like clockwork; which I desperately needed while away from my dog. Yep! Definitely recommend!”
“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!”
“Dana was great!! Keep me updated with photos, and daily on how my bella was doing. Took her on plenty of walks, and made sure she was well fed, while we were on vacation. Definitely would book again!!!”
“Great sitter, had my dog for 8 days and he was well taken care of and because of her work he got to hang out with lots of other dogs all day! He had a blast! 10/10 would recommend.”
“We have used many sitters for our dog, and Casey was at the top! She took excellent care of our boy while on vacation. Thank you Casey! We definitely recommend her and will dial her in the future.”
“Thank you so much again . Fantastic host . My little friend was super happy in his new home for 5 days . I wi definitely used them again and recommended everyone🐶”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brookline
Ben was amazing with our dog Aster! We did a meet and greet beforehand and left Aster with him for 3 nights. He gave Aster tons of attention, walks, and playtime. Ben made sure to keep us updated with tons of pictures and messages. If you're looking for someone who will love your dog like their own, Ben is the guy to go with!
Hannah was amazing with Mochi. While Mochi is easy to take care of at home, her reactiveness is something to be watched outside, and Hannah navigated through it without any issues allowing Mochi to have a great time. Mochi seemed very happy when I picked her up and I also got plenty of updates throughout the stay.
We had such a wonderful experience with Soumaya! 🐾❤️ She took amazing care of our dog, and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. She kept us updated every couple of hours with messages and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind and showed how attentive and caring she was with him. Soumaya is incredibly kind, responsible, and super trustworthy. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our dog and made sure he was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of the entire time. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I highly recommend Soumaya and would absolutely trust her with our dog again! ❤️🐶
Julie was the absolute best! Our dog Buck is home, happy, clean and clearly enjoyed his time. Julie is responsive and sent so many photos and updates. Our kids were so happy to know our pup was well cared for while we were away. We will absolutely be using Julie again!
I needed a sitter last minute for a trip and Eliza was amazing! She was easy to communicate with before and during the story. I appreciated her flexibility in accommodating a last minute request and that she was able to change her schedule to work for Olive. Olive was immediately comfortable with her and her boyfriend Travis.
Five stars isn't enough for Niusha! I recently boarded my puppy, Luna, with her and couldn't be more grateful for the incredible care she provided. From the very beginning, Niusha was highly responsive and deeply invested in understanding Luna’s routine and needs. She took the extra time to do a meet and greet beforehand, which immediately put my mind at ease. During the stay, Niusha and her roommate Olly kept Luna active and happy, even taking her to a nearby park to play with other dogs, and sent me constant updates with lots of pictures and videos. What truly sets Niusha apart is how far she goes above and beyond. When Luna had something in her eye, Niusha provided gentle care and even took her to the vet just to be entirely sure she was okay. Knowing Luna was in such loving, attentive, and capable hands gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I will absolutely reach out to Niusha for any future pet care needs, and I couldn't recommend her more highly to anyone looking for top-tier care for their pup!

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. 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 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.
