About: I grew up with cats and dogs and always knew I loved animals. I worked at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist, where I gained lots of insight and knowledge about cats and dogs. I want to continue on the path of helping families and animals! I have open availability, as my other job is working from home. I am flexible and always home! Short-term, long-term, schedules are open for negotiation! I have a British Shorthair cat, a miniature poodle, and a standard Goldendoodle. :)

About: I've been caring for pets for over 10 years — dogs and cats belonging to friends and family who trust me completely, and that trust means everything to me. What makes my care different is that it's never one-size-fits-all. If your dog lives for walks, we walk. If they're all about the ball, we play. If they just want to curl up next to someone, I'm right there. Every pet gets care shaped around who they are, not a standard routine. My home is child-free and pet-free, so your baby isn't competing for attention — they are the focus of my entire day. And when you pick them up? They'll be freshly bathed, happy, and ready to go home. Baths are always on me. PLEASE NOTE: I can board up to 4 pets from the same family at one time, as the pets all know each other. I do not take multiple pets from different families to board at the same time. It's often stressful for the animals and I don't get to enjoy your pet if he is stressed out by strange animals. My home is child-free and animal-free, which means your pet gets a calm, quiet environment with zero stress from other animals and no chaotic energy. They are the sole focus of my day. IMPORTANT: I only take pets from one family at a time. I want to enjoy your dog. For dogs: I follow your routine to the letter — feeding times, walk schedule, medications, treats, favorite spots. I ease new guests in gently because I know the first few hours matter most. If your dog loves walks, we walk. If they're a ball dog, we play. They get care shaped around who they are, not a generic routine. Every dog goes home with a complimentary bath so they're clean, happy, and ready to see you. For cats: I understand cats aren't small dogs — they need something completely different. I give them a safe, quiet space to settle in at their own pace, no forcing interaction. I read their cues — whether they want lap time, window watching, or just a calm human nearby. Litter box hygiene is spotless and non-negotiable. I'm very careful about doors, windows, and escape points so your indoor cat stays safely indoors. For all pets: I monitor eating and behavior closely and flag anything off straight away. You'll get regular photo and video updates — as many or as few as you'd like. I've been caring for pets for over 10 years for people who trust me like family, and I take that trust seriously. My goal is simple: your baby comes home calm, happy, and exactly themselves. I do have a fenced yard but do not allow dogs to go out alone unsupervised. I enjoy walking dogs and will keep the routine that you have with your dog. I only take cats and dogs at the same time from the same family. I will always confirm any animal is up to date with vaccines and flea treatments first.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had Pitbulls, chihuahuas and yorkies so I am accustomed to the differentiating behavior that dogs can display between breeds. I believe in honesty and communication to keep both parties protected and informed because your pet is important. I don’t want any harm to come to them on my watch. My dog has seizures, so I understand the concern that can come from a person watching your dog and not understanding the nuances of how to properly care for them and their special needs. I am here to be that person for you. Currently, I work part-time on the weekends during the evening, so I’ll have plenty of time for your pets. I am also an online college student, so I appreciate those that are understanding of that. The most important way to care for your animal is to see and learn how you care for your animal. No one is going to love them or ever know them as well as you. Each animal is unique in behavior, so I try to respect any boundaries imposed upon me by your pet or you.

About: Hello Everyone! My name is Mia. I'm a soon-to-be student with a pharmacy tech license. I've watched family members pets growing up for a period of time unfortunately I had to take a break so I could focus . I love all animals but cats and dogs are my specialty but I am open to caring for any. I have personal and professional experiences when it comes to watching animals. I've done a couple of professional jobs which included feeding, bathing and taking them to the parks/outside. I am very open to your wants/needs when taking care of your animals. I am comfortable with caring for a max of 3 pets but would like for some standard training. Thank you for looking at my profile. I look forward with doing business with you. I currently work full-time at my first job and am looking for a second job, as we speak, so I’m able to save for my first apartment (yaayy🥳!) but for the most part, I have a set schedule but I do get off at 4 every day. My schedule is posted every week but I'm able to squeeze in anytime that would best fit your loved ones if I do work the day/days I would be needed. I live in a very close-knit neighborhood with a three-story house and a small-sized backyard. The neighborhood is large that breaks off into different sections for great walking opportunities. Due to renting the house, we don't have a fence since we've lived here, but I do stay very close to my animals that are under my care. I'm able to deescalate issues that may occur when taking them out for walks, the potty, or errands (if allowed).

Inside, dogs can relax in cozy, climate‑controlled spaces with comfy beds, blankets, and plenty of fresh water.

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and wouldn’t have it any other way. Growing up, we always had at least two dogs in the family. At an early age I learned a lot from my uncle who trained dogs to assist the disabled and blind. I previously worked at a boarding/daycare facility for 3 years which gave me experience with a variety of dog breeds, sizes, ages, medications, health conditions and grooming. At the daycare/boarding facility we were trained to pick up behavioral cues from dogs. We were taught positive ways to enforce good behavior and correct unwanted behavior. I am very familiar with how to handle dogs with food and/or leash aggression. Prior to working at the daycare/boarding facility, I worked with rescue groups and helped foster dogs. I’m the type of person that can’t ignore a pup in need of love and care. I currently have 5 dogs: a Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix, miniature Dachshund, Yorkie, Morkie and Border Collie/Terrier mix. I am very experienced with dogs with special needs. In the past I’ve owned a dog that went blind, another one that had seizures and currently our Yorkie is losing her hearing and sight. I treat my dogs as if they are my kids. Be rest assured, I’ll treat your pup(s) the same! I currently work from home so I’ll be available to spend lots of time with your fur babies. This will allow them to have lots of steady potty breaks and be able to stick to any routines they’re used to. I have a fenced yard and my fur babies are friendly with other dogs so they’re sure to keep your dog company. I never leaves dogs together while unattended; they would be crated (if that’s what they’re used to) or separated just to be safe if I ever needed to step away for a moment. Your pet’s safety is my utmost concern and priority.

Lori walked my dog, Gilbert, for a month while I’ve been recovering from surgery. She has been amazing. She is always on time, is very attentive, and Gilbert really loves her. He starts looking for her an hour before the scheduled time. I think he’s going to hate walks with me now because Lori is so amazing.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Bright Star

Frequently asked questions about Rover

As of November 2026, there are 5,104 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Bright Star. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Bright Star. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Bright Star after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

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.

Every walker 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.

Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bright Star. On Rover:

  • 88% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 97% 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 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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

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