“We had such a great experience leaving our little Luna with Jacob and Willie (his friendly dog!). Jacob was super communicative with little reassuring updates and made sure to provide a cozy and comfortable space for her to stay while we were on vacation. Were really grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend him to anyone who’s looking for someone to care for their pup!”
“I’d give 6 stars if i could. We left Sully for an extended period of time for the very first time, which of course came with parental nerves and concerns (especially since my dog has IBD, so he needs the extra care and attention) Ashton was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and understanding of our nerves, but his care for Sully quickly dissolved our nerves of leaving Sully with how well he cared for him. Ashton sent us morning/evening updates, pictures, and took care of our dog as if he was one of his own (so much so that we could tell Sully was sad to leave him!) Ashton is an amazing pup care giver, i’d recommend him 10/10 and will choose him 100x over next time we need a sitter (and i know Sully will be so excited to see him again)”
“Vanessa was an excellent sitter for our dog, Joey. She sent us photos daily of all of the walks they took during the day, along with updates on how he was doing while he was there. We will definitely keep her in mind when we need a dog sitter in the future.”
“Jessica and her family were amazing caretakers for our 6 month-old Golden Retriever, Ollie! During his stay, Jessica sent me continual updates, photos and videos of Ollie enjoying walks, playing with her own dogs, watching Sunday football, and having the best time! I would highly recommend Jessica and look forward to Ollie staying with her again soon!!”
“Jing and her family were amazing with Penelope! They were loving and kind as well as being the right mixture of adventurous and safe. Our girl had lots of outdoor time to explore in a safe environment and got to socialize with other dogs. It was a great fit, and I would highly recommend Jing to anyone looking for a safe and loving place to leave their fur babies. If Penny could talk it would be akin to a little kid coming home from summer camp! She clearly had a blast! ❤️🐶”
“Emily was very patient with my anxious girl. My sweet girl has a hard time meeting new people. We have never left her with anyone but family. Emily took the time to make her feel at ease. We trust her so much we are having her watch our girl again for a week. I highly recommend Emily.”
“Susan was great with Newman! She had him for a whole week at her house with her two dogs and he adjusted well there. He was one sleepy puppy when I got him from all the exercise and fun! Thanks again!”
“Jodie took excellent care of my dog, Gremlin. She made sure he was walked and well-fed. He received a good brushing, along with a change of outfit. Jodie treated him like he was her own. We will definitely be booking again soon!”
“Salish was great with Gus and spent the time making sure he felt at ease. She was also very responsive and addressed any of our concerns. We felt good that our baby was in good hands. Gus will definitely be back visiting Salish! Thanks Salish!”
“Such a good visit, I know I can trust Jo and Tom to lovingly look after my fur baby as if he was their own. I know the gets plenty of play and care from them as well as other small dogs. I’m always happy to ask Jo and Tom to add my dog to their pack for my needs.”
“Andrea and her family showed exceptional care for my older dog. After meeting them and seeing how genuinely compassionate and attentive they were with her, I felt completely at ease. They did a wonderful job, and I’m truly grateful for the way they looked after her.”
“This is the second time we’ve sent our pup to Samantha and her family and once again felt so comfortable doing so for a week. We received daily updates with pictures and she was so easy to communicate with. So appreciative for loving our boy just as though he was home!”
“Tracy was amazing with our cat Pretty Girl! We were nervous as this was our first time boarding her but Tracy was very kind and helpful. She was in good hands for sure! We got updates throughout the stay and lots of pictures as well!! When we picked Pretty Girl up she was happy and healthy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with Tracy again!”
“Cherie was a wonderful host for our dog, Hudson! She kept me updated with notes and pictures throughout the week we were away on vacation. Her family was so kind and responsive and I had no doubts that Hudson was receiving the best care! I would absolutely recommend Cherie to anyone looking for a safe and happy environment for their pet.”
“Rootie enjoyed another fantastic stay with Xiaofan. Wonderful communication, regular photos, and very accommodating around our schedule. We always get a full report of our good girl’s behavior, and she comes home happy and healthy. Such a relief for us when we can’t be with her. Highest of recommendations, we will always try to book here when we need boarding!”
“Svetlana was amazing with our dog, great communication, pictures and detailed updates. We knew how our dog was all the time which was such a relief during our trip. 💯 recommended.”
“Ruth was absolutely wonderful and very flexible! She and Roxy welcomed Pablo and made him comfortable and happy from the moment one. I was comfortable knowing that my senior pup is in loving and experienced hands. He had a great time socializing, walking and enjoying Ruth's backyard. Thank you so much!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Brookline
Alberta was the best match for "Lucky", my very personable and sweet 15- year old Golden Doodle. Before accepting Lucky for a Sunday-to-Sunday December stay, Alberta asked all the right questions from his daily routine to how best to administer his prescription meds. Alberta also required a current veterinarian record as proof that Lucky was up to date on all his shots and also so she could keep an eye on his health. Aside from a very professional, proficient, and friendly onboarding the real magic happened when Alberta cheerfully greeted Lucky and she knew to give him time and space to acclimate to his new B&B and her own three doggies - a greyhound, a lab and a golden mix. Every morning I received a cutie pie photo of my fur baby in a different scenario which showed me just how well he was doing! Snoozing on his bed, hanging with her other dogs in the fenced in yard, or begging for a treat. Normally when I pick up my boy from other sitters he looks a bit frazzled-as if to say- what was that all about!? LOL But after his stay with Alberta and family Lucky came trotting out, happy to see me and and freshly brushed too. I could see in his eyes that he was well-rested and happy. WOW! Thanks Alberta for all the TLC!

You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Brookline home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Brookline.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Brookline sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging.

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 NH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
