Ardin did a great job with our big 100 lb. boy, Charlie, for 11 days, 3x a day drop in visits. The photos she included, with the activities they did (walks and soccer) showed a happy dog. Her texts really reassured us about how well it was going and we plan on rebooking with Ardin for a long family wedding this fall!

Nicole went above and beyond caring for our five cats, even making it out during snowstorms. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about our pets. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in such good hands.

Many thanks to Kathryn for doing a drop-in visit with my Australian Shepard who is recovering from surgery when I needed to be away for the evening. She was very patient with him walking around the yard while he did his business. I will book again.

This is our 3rd time using Jessica and she’s absolutely wonderful with Lucy. I’ve had Lucy since she was 12 weeks old and for the past 12 years traveling has been really difficult for me because of the guilt I felt leaving her. I’ve tried boarding her 3 times and she’s always been a nervous mess and I’ve never been happy with the places I’ve used...I find them to all be the same and the last thing I wanted was her to be caged. With that said, it’s so nice to be able to leave Lucy in the comfort of her home with Jessica stopping in 3 times a day and sending tons of pics and a detailed “pupdate”. We’re so thankful for how at ease she has made our traveling plans and taking such amazing care of our “baby”.

About: I've taken care of both dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, having grown up with both of them. I have such a high fondness! I have trained 4 puppies in the past few years so I am well equipped to handle the littlest of rascals. I also have senior care experience and reactive dog care experience. I am a senior at the University of Southern Maine, and have classes on primarily Tuesdays and Thursdays. Due to my light load on my last year, I am able to have high availability throughout the week especially mornings and afternoons. I do my best to provide as happy of an experience possible for the pets. I give them lots of pets, love, food, water, and whatever else is required for their care. If they need to be crated or put in a carrier I am able to do that. I am also able to trim nails or give medicine or anything of the sorts!

About: Being around animals makes my heart so happy! I have been caring for dogs and cats for friends and family my whole life! I have also had a variety of pets growing up, from reptiles to furry friends! Currently, my fiancé and I have a long haired mini dashund named Willow! We love long walks on the trails near our home as well as the occasional Starbucks pup cup (haha)! I truly love spending time with animals of all kinds. I am comfortable caring for animals of all sizes, from Mini Dashunds to Great Danes! I originally went to college for veterinary school, but ended up becoming a nurse. As a registered nurse, I am confident in caring for medically complex pets, administering medications, and following detailed care instructions when needed. I grew up with a medically complex cockapoo named Charlie, which fostered my love for medicine. I understand the importance of patience, reliability, and paying close attention to each pet's needs. Although this is my first time on a pet care website, I have ample experience from letting a pet stretch their legs for a bit to hanging out with them for a few days! No matter what your pet needs, I will care for them like my own! I currently work 3 days a week, but on my days off I am completely free to spend time with your pet! I am a 25 year old with no kids, so my main focus with be the care of your pet. I am happy to spend as much time with them depending on their routine! Unfortunately due to living in an apartment, I am unable to bring pets into my home. When spending time with your pet, I will provide safe, clean, and loving environment where they will receive plenty of attention, excise, playtime, and affection. I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including meals, walks, medications, and any special instructions to help them feel comfortable and at ease. My schedule is very flexible, so I will spend as much time as I can with your pet so they do not feel lonely!

About: I’ve taken care of a few dogs/cats here and there while also having my own in the past from babies to seniors. I’m gentle, loving and care about your pets as if they were my own! I’m new to Rover and can’t wait to catch more experiences! I do work full time during the week, but pet care easily fits into my routine! I make sure pets get plenty of attention, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love throughout the day. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet I care for. I always follow owners’ instructions closely and make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and treated like family. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, medications, crating, or any special needs your pet may have.

Townsend, MA, 01469

About: I have had pets all my life and adore animals. I enjoy taking the time to play with the dogs, and giving them the love and attention that they need. The Townsend Rail Trail is right near my house, and I am able to enjoy multiple daily walks with my 4 year old Jack Russell Terrier, Loki, on that trail. At this time I are unable to accommodate dogs who are aggressive, or dogs who are not house trained. I currently work from Home, so I am able to devote plenty of time to ensuring that the dogs get plenty of love and attention throughout the day. My daughter also enjoy spending time with any dogs that I have at the house giving them extra love and attention throughout the day, always supervised and as appropriate with each dog. My yard is not fenced in, so a dog would be leashed to play in the yard, but I have a dog runs to enable the dogs to enjoy some time running freely in the grass each day. I am able to separate the dogs as needed and for feeding times to ensure that they remain stress free. We are able to accommodate crate training schedules as needed, our dog is only crate trained at night. We are home most of the time, but if we do leave the house we ensure that the dogs are not left alone for extended periods and we are able to seperate them safely while out of the house without crating them unless requested. We do have two cats, but as our dog does not get along with them we have them separated upstairs from the dogs and all pets are 100% safe. The dogs have free run of the downstairs and the cats have free run of the upstairs all day so that everyone remains safe and happy with no issues!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Brookline on Rover is $17.76 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 2,853 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Brookline. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Brookline stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.

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.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

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 .

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Brookline. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 96% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 92% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
