Dog Walking Brightwood

“This was my first time using Rover and was in a tight spot after my go-to walker was out of town. Andrew was more than we could have asked for. Our dog is an anxious fellow but took to Andrew immediately which really gave us peace of mind.”

About: I'm a full-time professional with fairly flexible work hours. I have two dogs, a happy, healthy 12 yr old Plott-hound mix, Ollie, and a happy, energetic and loving 2 yr old husky-shepherd mix, Bella., I've watched and cared for dozens of other dogs (friends, family, etc.) over the last 15 years and am generally known as a bit of a 'dog whisperer'. I absolutely love dogs and look forward to taking exceptional care of your pet when you need to leave them in somebody else's care. Ollie, Bella, and I walk for ~4 miles every day around the neighborhood, go to dog friendly parks/fields in my neighborhood, and walks in the woods where they can run off leash. As highlighted in the pictures, Ollie and Bella readily get along with a wide variety of dogs as a walking buddy, a sleeping buddy, or a running-around-a-field buddy. If you leave your dog with us, your dog will have new canine friends, get lots of fun neighborhood walks, and have friends to cuddle up with on the couch / in their dog bed after a long-day of walking, eating, and sleeping :). I typically do two long walks each day (one between ~7-9 AM, the other sometime between 5-7 PM). Will also do a short mid-day walk and/or a short pre-bedtime walk as needed! While Ollie and Bella were crate trained as puppies, at this point they roams freely throughout the house. That said, I'm happy to host crate-trained dogs, and more than comfortable allowing your (trained!) dog to roam free throughout my home much like my pups.

“Great new walker for us who was very responsive and communicated progress. Will boom again!”

“Selamawit has been both flexible with our schedule and truly loving of our dog. The pictures she sends on walks makes my day better. She provides excellent service and I can’t recommend her enough!”

About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with three family dogs and was the primary caretaker and trainer for my most recent dog, Aiko. Through daily walks, feeding, grooming, training, and playtime, I gained valuable experience understanding the unique needs of different dogs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet sat and walked dogs for neighbors, friends, and family members, including both small and large breeds. I am comfortable handling multiple dogs at once and enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just having someone keep them company, I will provide attentive, reliable, and loving care. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. As a college student, I am currently home for the summer and not taking classes, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. I am available most days and times for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when caring for pets, and I am committed to providing attentive, dependable care while keeping owners updated and informed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and exercise needs. I understand that every dog has a unique personality, and I take the time to build trust while ensuring they feel comfortable and secure. I provide regular updates and photos so owners can have peace of mind knowing their pets are in caring and responsible hands.

“Landy is great! Excellent communication and truly cares about my pups. She’s comfortable giving meds and asked great questions that shows she’s on top of it. Also she sent adorable photos of them on the walk! 🐾🦴”

About: I have been a lover of all animals for as far back as I can remember and have taken care of them both personally and professionally. I have been employed by zoos and aquariums, worked with tigers, made diets for birds of prey, and assisted Marine Biologists with shark tanks and coral reefs. My training has not just been in educating the public, but in positive reinforcements. Everything from dogs, cats, snakes, hedgehogs, frogs, and so many more have been in my care over the course of my life for one reason or another. I am my friends' go-to for anything they've ever been curious about when it comes to our natural world. And being a dog mom of two myself has been one of the most rewarding privileges I've been able to experience. Pet care for me is 24/7 for my own babies, but I am available Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and some Wednesdays for any and all services. My pupperonies have been crate trained by me, but for the most part free roam. They have designated areas for when the hoomans are out of the house where they are allowed to nap and play with their toys or each other. Both have been socialized and are respectful of the other dog in the home. Both dogs get 3 walks per day, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening to ensure they are exercised as well as some off leash play in the yard. For clients, I am attentive to each animals’ needs and respectful of owner requests. It is important for me to get to know your fluffybutt as much as possible in order to provide optimal care.

“Caden is a wonderful dog walker. He’s always on time, consistent, and genuinely cares for my dog. I would highly recommend him.”

About: Currently my brother and I are working from home and don't mind having your dog here to accompany us. We love furry guests! I've had/watched dogs all my life ranging from teacups to great Danes, we love them all! Working from home 5 days a week (introverts for sure) we are available most week days and weekends. Our morning and afternoon walks for its nothing to add your fur baby! We have pups and dislike crates so I let them roam the house. If the house is too foreign I will limit them to the room im occupying with occasional backyard fun and 20/30 min walks. I also send pics daily/hourly depending on owners comfort level.

“So happy to have Alison walk our dog. She comes twice a week for afternoon walks and Mello has a lovely time and a nice long walk. She loves to see Alison and I’m so grateful we engaged with her.”

About: I am a very active person, which means I would love to take your dogs on runs/ walks/ hikes/ doggie play dates/ etc. I have job shadowed at a vet hospital before, and although not certified, I am well educated on pet health. I have owned many dogs myself, and have worked with many different breeds (Dobermans, akitas, German Shepards, Belgian mallinois, basset hounds, pit bulls etc) and ages of dogs including puppies which I have had to hand feed, and old dogs as well. Overall my schedule is pretty flexible, so if adjustment of times or anything is needed I am open to that as long as it doesn’t conflict with any commited plans. I do work a typical 9-5 but I work in office on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays but otherwise work from home which gives me the flexibility to take care of your fur baby as needed. We can discuss your needs and your pets needs when we schedule- happy to spend time with your fur babies as I would mine! I treat all pets as if they were my own and that includes really understanding them and their behaviors. Aside from basic care, mutual respect between me and your pet is of utmost importance to me as I want them to trust and ultimately build a bond they feel comfortable with. If your dog and I are not a fit I will respectfully inform you to please not schedule me for any service.

“Reliable, great communication, and follows instructions!”

About: I've had a passion caring for animals since I was little. I've cared for neighbors dogs and as I get older I've participated in vet camps, volunteered and interned at animal shelters and clinics. I'm also in college majoring in animal science to eventually become a veterinarian! Pet care is already a consistent part of my daily routine so I’m comfortable fitting walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins into my schedule. I plan my days carefully to make sure my guinea pig gets reliable attention, feed, and cuddle time. In my home, I keep my pets safe, comfortable, and on a consistent routine with food, water, cleaning, and attention. I care for my guinea pig daily, so I’m used to being responsible and attentive to pets needs. In clients homes, I follow their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship.

“Sam was available last minute for a week of daily walks for our labradoodle. Would highly recommend!”

About: Hi, I’m Andrea! I’ve always loved being around dogs and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I make communication a priority by sending regular updates and photos throughout each stay. I have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I always try to match each dog’s routine and comfort level. Whether your dog loves playtime, long walks, cuddles, or just a calm environment to relax in, I make sure they receive patience, attention, and affection during their stay. My goal is to create a clean, safe, and stress-free environment where your pet feels at home. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any special instructions you provide so your dog receives personalized care every time. I know every pet is different, and I truly enjoy building trust with both pets and owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! During my care I schedule specific times for feeding, walking, and play sessions, ensuring that every pet in my care receives consistent attention and affection. Caring for pets in my home involves creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment that caters to their individual needs. I start by designating specific areas for feeding, sleeping, and play to maintain a structured routine. I ensure these spaces are clean, free of hazards, and stocked with toys, bedding, and other essentials.

“Pauline walked/fed our senior dog during the holidays and was so great! She made our dog feel comfortable, was super communicative and sent lots of pictures, and put our minds at ease while we were on vacation during the colder days of the year. Will definitely book with Pauline again in the future - thank you!”

About: What makes me different from others is pets love me and they are very comfortable around me. I never have any issues with any type of pet or animal. I have two amazing cats and I usually feed them early in the morning, play around with both of them until they get tired and sleepy, then it's cuddle time I personally wash my cats at home and i also take take them out for activities such as walking or having them play with different sticks and toys. I can accommodate your needs for your fur baby.

“Amanda is easy to work with, friendly, and focused on the needs of my dog. She was attentive and caring, and she made me feel very comfortable and at peace knowing that my dog was safe. Thank you, Amanda!”

“Diamond is a fantastic dog walker — prompt, professional, kind, and my pup loves her. Highly recommended for all of her services.”

“We are just thrilled with the care Leo's reliability, kindness, and the care he shows for our dog. I happened to be home when he came by yesterday, and saw that he removed his shoes when he came in. Our family doesn't wear shoes in the house and we have a tray next to the door for shoes, but we never ask or expect guests to remove theirs. Leo is so considerate and observant that he did this on his own. I think this speaks volumes about him. We feel very fortunate to have him caring for Jake.”
