Exceptional pet care for extraordinary pets
At Brighter Days, we are a unique group of animal lovers who have been providing a valuable service in the nation's capital since 2006. As a worker-owned cooperative, we take pride in our work and are committed to providing the best possible care for your pets. We understand the importance of communication and flexibility in our business, which is why we prioritize open communication with our clients and take a proactive approach to any issues that may arise.
The Brighter Days Difference
At Brighter Days, we believe that a company can be both profitable and socially responsible. That's why we are members of the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters and take steps to reduce our environmental impact, such as using bicycles instead of cars for many of our walks. We also support local organizations working on the front lines of progressive change.
Our Team
Our team of dog walkers is composed of passionate individuals who have a deep love for animals. Each of our walkers has a unique set of skills and interests, but they all share a commitment to providing top-notch care for your pets. We are proud to introduce you to our talented team of dog walkers below:
Betty Rothstein
Betty joined Brighter Days Collective in April 2019 and has been walking dogs since she was a small child. She relies on her trusty bicycle to get around DC and loves exploring the city with furry friends. For her, dog walking is a form of meditation that allows her to tune in to her surroundings.
Syn Hong
Syn joined Brighter Days in January of 2016. A native of Taiwan, they have loved dogs since their mother said they couldn't have one. They currently live in northeast DC with a house full of rad humans. When not walking dogs, Syn enjoys reading, gaming, and cooking.
Jordan Oeste
Jordan is a lifelong dog aficionado who has been with Brighter Days since spring 2013. With a background in animal care and behavior from the Humane Rescue Alliance, Jordan is proud to be part of our team.
Benefits of Shared Ownership
Our unique model of shared ownership means that our dog walkers are not only passionate about their work but also have a vested interest in the success of our business. This translates to a more personalized and attentive service for our clients. When you hire Brighter Days, you can be confident that your pet will be receiving the best care, and we are committed to making sure that our services speak for themselves.
