“Zilalai goes above and beyond to provide love and care for our Husky. She is so accommodating and flexible with our needs and requests and we always feel so confident and relaxed with our dog in her care. We are so grateful for her!”
About: Growing up with dogs, I was always active and outdoors with them. i know how important it is for your pet to be exercised and the joy it brings them to tag along for fun activities. I will be working part time from home and new to Boston looking to dedicate more hours to your pet and establish a reliable relationship with new client long term. I'm very attentive to their leash behavior and put their safety first when outside. Inside the house, I make sure there are no choking hazards, and they are hydrated in extreme temperatures.
“Alexander has been wonderful with Pocket! He’s reliable, punctual, and has been so great about keeping him comfortable and happy. It’s clear he genuinely cares about the dogs he walks, and I’ve really appreciated how dependable he’s been. I highly recommend him!”
“Maegan took such good care of our pup! She was sick this week, and we were devastated to have to leave her. But Maegan was sweet to her and made us feel so much better. We really appreciate her!!!”
About: I have been a dog Walker and sitter for about 8 years now, and I also have two dogs of my own that I love! I do have a full time job, where I work a hybrid schedule, so I am sometimes able to do mid day walks, evening walks, and also pet sitting over nights on weekends or weekdays. I walk my dogs everyday at least 3 times a day, and when I am dog walking for clients, I will give them as many walks as they need, for at least 20 minutes.
About: Howdy! My name is Natalie and any dog I've met I have loved like my own. Growing up I had my fluffy 90lb Labradoodle and two sweet guinea pigs. Aside from my own pup, neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs and care for their cats. I currently have a full time job where I have to go into the office Monday-Thursday but an available for walks and drop-in on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I live in a small apartment in Brighton MA across the street from a wonderful reservoir and less than a mile away from several parks! I am a very active person so would be a great host for an athletic or active dog! However, if your dog is less active, I can easily bring my activity level to where your dog is happy and comfortable. I allow pets on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to.
“Linda is an amazing addition to my ‘village’, she walks my dog when I can’t, but she also has all the big sister advice while being the sweetest best caretaker for my little doggie. Thank you Linda!”
“Kelly came over for an initial meet and greet and quick walk. She was on time, friendly, and easy to communicate with, and we’d be happy to have her care for Lewis in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Nora and I'm a caring, dependable animal lover who would love to become your pet's new favorite person! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits, with a focus on making sure your pets feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you're away. PET PHOTOGRAPHY BONUS: I'm also a pet photographer, and I offer professional pet photography as an additional service for owners who are interested, because pets deserve to be on the holiday card too! This can be done easily in your home or on their daily walk route, easily added on to the sitting visit! Whether your pup needs a fun afternoon walk, some company while you're at work, or just a little extra attention throughout the day, I'd love to help. I grew up taking care of dogs including my own, so I understand that pets are family, and finding someone you trust is so important! I am a medical assistant in the area and am looking for part-time and weekend opportunities outside of my job to take care of your pets! I was a part of the dog walking club at Tufts and it was so fun and therapeutic for me. I am happy to help with whatever your pet needs! Whether that is a walk, cuddle, game of fetch, I am happy to spend time with your furry friend. I will also provide many photos so you are kept in the loop!
About: Growing up, my family always loved and cared for dogs. We first owned a chocolate lab, Indy, then Maple, a thirteen year old yellow lab. As a teenager, I helped train dogs that would go on to have careers in rescue units, airports, or the WUSV championships. I now own my own dog Dax with my wife Libby, a Chihuahua-Rat terrier mix who loves to show new friends around the neighborhood. (P.S. any Rover friends who know Trang, we are besties!) I know the ins and outs of the pet scene in Boston and where the dogs thrive. I also have a dog that is equally happy to sleep all day as he is to hike and run on the soccer field. Pets have always been a part of my life, and I'm so happy yours will be too! I live on a quiet street to walk the dogs. I also have a private backyard for the dogs to run and play, as well as letting them have free range of the house -- any soft surface is theirs! I love to cuddle up with the dogs as soon as we get home.
“Wendy’s great with Bebe! I love that she can always accommodate my last-minute requests. She has walked Bebe a few times, and Bebe always has a great time with her. Wendy always makes sure she’s okay after the walk and feeds her if needed. I really appreciate how reliable and caring she is!”
About: I have many years of experience of watching dogs from small dogs to big dogs from the comfort of their own home. I also have 2 of dogs of my own so I know how to care for them! I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for your pet! Plus I love staying active with your pet, I love going on long walks especially with pets that enjoy it! Since I will be able to watch your pet from your own home, this will give them the comfort they need when you are not around. They will be happy to be at home and your scent will give them piece of mind!
About: I grew up with two English Setters and cared for them from their puppy years through their senior stages, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages. I’ve also dog-sat many times for friends and neighbors and have experience walking multiple dogs at once, safely and confidently. I truly love animals and take pride in providing attentive, reliable, and loving care treating every pet like my own! I work a 9 to 5, so anytime before 9 AM, during lunchtime, and anytime after 5 PM, I am available. Weekends I typically am available all day long! I’ll treat your dog like they’re my own! I’ll always follow any instructions you have for walks, feeding, routines, or anything else they need. I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me. I also know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure they get plenty of attention and care!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child, often taking on the role of the neighborhood pet sitter when families go out of town. I love all animals, (especially cats and dogs) providing them with care and attention as if they were my own. I’m currently a freelance musician and part time violin teacher, so I often have mornings and afternoons free, and sometimes weekends too, for pet care. I’m so happy to take care of your pets, so they will have my complete attention when I am with them. Your pet’s safety is my priority when they are in my care!
About: I grew up with animals. Dogs and cats specifically have always been apart of my life. I am able to keep up with with the youngest peppy puppy or slow down to meet the pace of a senior dog. I am not fazed by much and happy to provide the same love and care that you would give to your animal. I am a freelancer with a very flexible schedule. I have the ability to work with you on potential last minute needs and care for your pets. I am very comfortable caring for animals weather it be a quick check at the home ot in an more outdoor adventure. My goal is to give your animal the care they care they need in the environment that works best for you and them.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Brighton is $22 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $34 per walk. On Rover, walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 10,790 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Brighton. 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 Brighton. 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 Brighton 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 Brighton. On Rover:
- 85% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 89% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% 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.
