About: i am the ultimate dog/cat lover and whisperer. i am very patient, bubbly and easily develop a strong bond with any pet. i speak to their souls! ask my best friend, chip! he’ll tell you about all the walks, cuddles and fun play times we share everyday :) Services include: dog drop-ins: leave any instructions and it will be closely followed! plus the complementary love and care that naturally comes w my service! will pick up after myself (and your pet), making sure we keep your home the way you left it. dog walks: OK to walk for long periods and lots of adventure! paws will be wiped clean after walks IF your dog allows it (mine does!) and of course lots of petting! PS. CATS are happily welcomed as well! I only work a part time job and I am not in school, which means I have a lot of time for your fur babies! I play close attention to pets at all times, especially when they are in a new environment. I read their body language just like I would with another person. This helps me better understand their wants or needs.

About: What sets me apart is the time, attention, and genuine care I give every pet. I’m home full time, so your pet won’t be left alone for long hours; I’m able to stick closely to their routine, provide companionship, and quickly respond to any needs. I’m also very observant, which is especially important when caring for senior pets or those with special needs. I have experience with both dogs and cats, and I’m patient with shy, anxious, or high energy pets. Whether it’s giving extra belly rubs, helping a senior pet move around comfortably, or keeping a puppy on track with their training schedule, I focus on making sure each pet feels safe, loved, and happy. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. Since I stay home to support my family, I have the time and flexibility to give pets the attention they deserve. Pet care is already part of my daily routine; I’m used to feeding on schedule, cleaning up, taking pets out, and making time for play and exercise. Being home allows me to respond quickly to their needs and keep a close eye on their well-being. I genuinely enjoy the companionship and love creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. Whether pets are in my home or I’m visiting theirs, I prioritize keeping their routine as close to normal as possible to help them feel secure. At my home, I provide a clean, pet safe environment with regular feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and quiet time. I follow any special instructions, like medications or preferred toys, and keep pets supervised and comfortable. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines. I make sure pets are fed, walked, played with, and cleaned up after according to the owner’s instructions. I also take time to bond with the pet, so they feel safe while their owner is away. I keep in touch with updates and photos, so owners know their pet is in good hands.

“RJ took great care of Remy on his walk. He’s communicative, friendly, and transparent about everything. It’s my first time using Rover and it can be stressful finding someone to trust your fur baby with but I instantly felt comfortable with RJ and most importantly Remy did. He sent photos and videos throughout the walk which I loved.”

I also had to help train them prior to them being sent to their new homes. I have dog sit seniors dogs and puppies. I have a huge trail behind my house for some outdoor play and walking and a downstairs balcony in my townhome as well. I own 3 cats as well! Have experience with cat medication , and care .

My current cars are indoor cars but I also let them play on the balcony from time to time for fresh air and outside play.

About: I currently work as a Vet Assistant which means I have plenty of experience handling and caring for cats and dogs.

Working in the ER, I know how to deal with many diseases so I can ensure your loved one is well taken care of. I can proficiently administer oral and injectable medications if needed. Aside from my medical background, I enjoy exercise and spending time outdoors and will therefore ensure that your pet is well taken care of physically through runs, walks, hikes- whatever it is that they enjoy.

I work 4 days a week, 10 hours but am still available to drop by if needed either in the mornings or evening or in between work if it’s nearby. I’m mostly available at any time Friday-Sunday, I can set time aside to be fully devoted to your pet. I will ensure they’re as comfortable as they have been when the owner is home. Allowing them to have their routine. I will ensure I don’t disturb their usual spots and allow them to roam as they are allowed regularly.

About: I absolutely love animals. I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have two cats at home. Previously experienced with caring for my senior dog who had CKD. I have a lot of experience with dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments as I'm currently working as a vet assistant and studying to be a registered veterinary technician. I recognize that every pet parent has their individualized way of caring for their pet and I strive to support that. Your furry kid means a lot and you should feel confident and comfortable with their care. I currently work 4 day weeks, 10 hours a day. I have three days throughout the week and nights after work that are available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting. I do my best to maintain a safe environment, staying aware of harmful materials, chemicals or products that a pet could get into. Removing or storing these items safely to avoid any negative exposure. Especially for young pets (and labs) that will eat anything.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve been around dogs and cats of all sizes since I was young. I work from home full-time, so flexibility is definitely on my side. I understand that every pet has their own routine and personality, and I’ll care for yours with the same patience, love, and attention I’d want for my own. My goal is to make every walk and drop-in safe and stress-free! I work remotely from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, walk, or pet sitting, I can easily fit your pet’s routine into my day while giving them the attention, care, and consistency they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and follow your instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, and favorite routines. I know every pet is different, and I strive to make each visit feel as stress-free and familiar as possible while treating your home with the same respect I’d treat my own.

About: I have 7 years of pet-sitting experience, starting with dogs and expanding into specialized cat care. Five years ago, I began volunteering at a cat rescue and discovered a gift for connecting with scared, shy, and feral cats. I hold a Certificate of Completion from Fear Free Shelters, with training in reducing stress and anxiety in cats and dogs. I’m also experienced giving oral medications to cats and dogs and subcutaneous fluids to cats. As a proud owner of two rescue cats, HalfPint and Nesta, I understand how hard it can be to leave your pets behind. I treat every pet as my own, providing loving care, playtime, companionship, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is to give your pets the best care possible while giving you peace of mind, so you can enjoy your vacation knowing your furry family members are safe, happy, and well cared for. I am available to feed ferals cats at a discounted rate, so your ferals can eat while you're away. I look forward to being your Whisker Watcher. I do have a full-time job, but I am able to do drop ins before and after work. On Thursday's and Friday's, I am also able to do drop ins on my lunch hour, as I work from home. I treat everyone’s pet the way I want my pets to be treated, with patience, kindness, love, & playtime. I follow directions well and appreciate as much information as I can get about your pet.

I’m happy to care for your cat in your home and follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll make sure they are fed, have fresh water, have a clean litter box, and get the right amount of playtime, attention, or space depending on their personality. I’ll also keep your home tidy and send updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your cat is being well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve had animals my entire life and have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra care. I also have experience with cats and other critters, and I currently have all three myself, so I understand their unique needs and behaviors. I’ve worked alongside professional dog trainers, which has helped me build strong handling skills and better understand training, behavior, and safety. In addition, I’ve volunteered with animal shelters, giving me experience with a wide variety of temperaments and situations. I treat every pet like my own—making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I offer open availability for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the day, making it easy to accommodate your pet’s schedule, I keep my calendar as up to date as possible as well marking any days I will not be available. For the comfort and safety of all pets, I provide care in your home rather than mine. I’m more than happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide to ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for in their own environment. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic care, or just giving extra love and attention, I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care as my own.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I've been caring for dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Our 5 children have grown and living on their own, so I currently have my sweet 2 dogs, Chica & Luna, who keep life fun, active, and full of love. In addition to my experience with pets, I've taught preschool and first grade, where safety, patience, and attentive care were always top priorities. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting (no overnights), and can comfortably administer oral medications when needed. I truly enjoy caring for pets of all personalities, whether they're social and energetic, calm and relaxed, or a little nervous and shy. With a gentle demeanor and a strong understanding of animal body language, I take the time to build trust and help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. During my first year of retirement, pet care fits naturally into my flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, attentive care all day (no overnights). I provide attentive care for pets in their own home, helping maintain their normal routine, comfort, and security. I can assist with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, oral medications, and keeping pets happy and relaxed while their owners are away.

“I’m so lucky to have booked with Amir. At the last minute, I found myself needing support walking my dog, Luna, for a week. We started with a “meet and greet” to get a feel for how things would go. Amir was great with Luna and she responded well to his kind and playful approach. As the week continued, Luna would stand at the top of the stairwell waiting in excitement for her walk. They developed a rapport and I’m sure Luna loved the long walks to the park. I really appreciate Amir’s consistency, communication, and dependability. He was great to work with. Highly recommend.”

We’re so relieved to have found Trina! One of our dogs takes time to warm up to people and can get scared very easily. Due to this, we haven’t been able to find a trustworthy sitter for any of our travels. I feel so comfortable leaving our dogs in her care and couldn’t recommend her enough.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Brightside

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Walking in Brightside is $28 per walk as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $24 and $43 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 13,326 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Brightside. 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 Brightside. 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 Brightside 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 Brightside. On Rover:

  • 83% of walkers can help with special care needs
  • 87% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 94% 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.
