“Xiaoxue was great. I'm always nervous about leaving my dog with someone new. She let us come over to visit before hand and kept in touch with any concerns and fun updates throughout the week.”

“We're hapoy to share that Dexter had an amazing 4-night stay with Kavita! She went above and beyond, keeping us updated regularly. What truly impressed us was her attentiveness to Dexter's specific needs - she quickly picked up on his resource guarding issue and handled it with care. Unlike other sitters, Kavita's insight and expertise made all the difference. After 5 years of using various pet care services, we can confidently say this experience was one of the best. We highly recommend Kavita's home as a warm and welcoming haven for your furry friend - it's truly a home away from home!”

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, a professional biologist with a lifelong passion for animals. My love for all creatures began in childhood and grew even stronger during my many years as a Scout, where I learned to observe and respect nature with a careful and attentive eye. For me, being outdoors and connecting with the environment is essential. I’ve always shared my life with pets, including both dogs and cats, and I genuinely enjoy the company of all kinds of animals. By combining my technical background in biology with the hands-on experience of a long-time pet owner, I provide dedicated, responsible, and heartfelt care for your furry friends! Profile Highlights: Background: Biologist Experience: Years of experience living with and caring for dogs and cats. Specialty: Former Scout with a deep-rooted connection to nature. Approach: Attentive, observant, and passionate about all species. Hi! I’m Jessica, a biologist and lifelong animal lover. Currently, I am a stay-at-home mom, which gives me great flexibility and full availability to visit and care for your pet in the environment where they feel safest: their own home. Since I am available throughout the day, especially while my children are at school, I can offer calm, unhurried visits tailored to your pet's needs.

“I needed a sitter for my pup, Picchu, at relatively last minute and Robert and his family were very accommodating and great! I took Picchu to their home for a "meet and greet" prior to my trip and it was very reassuring. I received updates and photos throughout her stay and I could tell she had fun with Robert's lovely and fun daughters! They clearly know what they are doing and love their doggie guests :). Highly recommend!”

“I would like to take a minute and say thank you to Mellisa and her family. My dog stayed twice with them and both times I was getting back happy and satisfied pet. Melissa and her family provided everything my dog needed: love, care and attention. They took my dog on regular walks, played fetch, and provided a lots of hugs. Every day during my dog's stay, Melissa sent me pictures and short updates on how my dog was doing. My vacation could not be more enjoyable without knowing that my dog in good hands and happy. I am highly recommending Melissa. If you care and love your dog, she is the right dog sitter for you.”

“Gabriel was great!! He was able to accommodate our two dogs very last minute (since our return flights were cancelled and we needed a new sitter) and then again he was very flexible to continue looking after our dogs when our flights were rescheduled multiple days later by the airlines. We appreciated the great communication and our boys were tired when we picked them up which is not an easy feat for our Australian Cattle Dog puppy! he definitely gave them lots of exercise and attention. Would definitely recommend and will be keeping his contact handy!”

“Donna was amazing! Super friendly, very attentive, and our doggos felt comfortable with her immediately! The dogs asked to spend some time there again in the future and we are happy to oblige ?”


“Elaine is wonderful! She took great care of our 15 month old Golden, Mia. Mia came back home looking happy and exhausted from all the play with her other furry friends. It was our first time leaving Mia for 5 days and Elaine really made us enjoy our vacation without having to worry about our baby. She was always sending us updates and pictures and is also quick to respond to our questions. We are so happy we found Elaine on Rover and would highly recommend to other pet parents!”

“Dolev was very considerate and accommodating towards my dog’s special needs with separation anxiety and dog reactivity. She was quick to respond to any questions I had prior to booking and while Chip was in her care she sent me updates as requested. Would definitely recommend her and book her again!”

“Jane took excellent care of Bailey!! She brought him on lovely long walks and send photos of his adventures! Jane was great with communication. She always responded quickly and she was proactive about getting in touch with questions about his medication to ensure she gave him the very best care. I would highly recommend Jane to care for your pet!”
“Mikayla and Alen are great with our Pup. They are super flexible on pick up and drop-off and always take great care of our dog. I'd highly recommend them to anyone!”

“Daisy watched our dog Bentley for a long weekend. Daisy was great with Bentley, she is very understanding and kind . In the past our dog Bentley got very anxious and nervous when we went away, he was very comfortable with her and happy for the time we where gone. We already booked Daisy for a week long stay in the end of January!”

“Himanshu was wonderful and took such great care of our dog. She felt right at home with him from the start. He kept us updated throughout her stay and was always engaged with her through different activities. He is a great host and has a wonderful home with plenty of space for dogs to play and feel comfortable. He went above and beyond by keeping our puppy active, doing some grooming, and making sure she was always engaged. We also really appreciated the thoughtful and constructive feedback he shared on a few areas where she could improve. Overall, we had a great experience and felt very comfortable knowing our dog was in such good hands.”

About: I have grown up with cats my whole life, but have been the proud owner of a 110lb Presa Canario who is a ball of love. I got her as a puppy when I was in the Army and have trained her myself. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats, small rodents, geckos, and fish. I currently work 2 24 hour shifts a week, and have school 2 nights a week. Availability on Sunday, Monday during the day, Wednesday during the day, Friday, and every other Saturday. Overnight weekend boarding on a case by case basis per school schedule. Potty walk drop ins, play time, meal time to include any special medications, light grooming, and general need of love and affection to your four legged babies would bring joy to my otherwise stressful week At home, I have a large dog and a cat. Boarding at my home would depend on a meet and greet with your dog in a neutral location. I cannot board cats in my home but am happy to come to yours On days I am not working or have school I am available for breakfast/lunch/dinner visits—specific details during booking :)) (but am relatively flexible) I live within walking distance of a nature park for exercise of both legs and noses!
“Erica H was AWESOME! She took fantastic care of our aging poodle who has some anxiety and hadn’t stayed somewhere other than our home for years. She stayed connected with us via text thru simple concerns, was attentive to some of his health issues. She also shared a couple of comforting pics of our dog chillaxing at her home. I would defiantly recommend Erica to watch your dog!!! Is there a 6 STAR option I can give her?”

“Amanda was amazing! She and her two boys played with and took great care of my dog. She had to leave for vacation the day I was returning from vacation. She dropped off my dog off at my house and made sure she was fed and had fresh water. I am booking her again!”

The median cost per night for pet boarding in Brookline is $60
Pet 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!

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 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 NH 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.
