Dog Walkers in Allerton, MA

“Brooke is great with my dog who is 13 and quite anxious. He felt comfortable with her from the first interaction he had with with her, and was excited to see her every time she came to walk him. She also played with him which he loved. Brooke is great, reliable, punctual, easy going and kind, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave my dog with her for longer periods of time if I needed to.”

About: I have 3 dogs of my own, all with completely different personalities, so I’m used to adapting to each dog’s needs. One has total grandma energy and just wants a calm comfy day, another is super independent and honestly acts more like a cat, and my third dog is blind so I’m very attentive and patient with routines and safety. I do twice daily feedings, daily walks, beach walks, and trail runs for high energy dogs, but I’m also just as happy staying in and giving calm companionship to dogs that prefer to relax. I’m a college athlete home for the summer, so I can keep up with super active dogs, but I’m also basically a professional nap partner for the couch potato ones. As a college athlete home for the summer, I have a pretty active and flexible routine that revolves around caring for my own dogs and yours. Daily walks, feedings, outdoor time, and exercise are already part of my schedule, whether that’s beach walks, trail runs, or just hanging out at home with calmer dogs. I’m used to planning my days around pets’ routines and making sure they get consistent attention, activity, and care. I try to make pets feel as comfortable as possible by keeping them on the routine they already know. I pay attention to feeding schedules, walks, energy levels, and little things about their personality and behavior. Having a blind dog myself made me really attentive and patient, especially when it comes to safety and creating a calm environment. I also know from my own dogs how much pets can miss their people when they’re away, so I try to give them extra attention, comfort, and company so they feel less stressed and more at ease. I love taking active dogs on walks, beach trips, or trail runs, but I’m also completely fine hanging out with dogs that just want a chill day and someone to nap next to. I’m very aware on walks, careful around other dogs, and overall just try to make pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away.

About: I have experience taking care of family members/neighbors dogs. I’ve built a relationship with the dogs and the families, and have done overnights with pets as well as check ins with walks. I am very free at the moment, currently looking for work yet still need some income during this time. As of right now my schedule is very open and accommodating I prefer to be at clients houses so I don’t disrupt the animals’ daily life. I believe it’s best to keep them comfortable in a comfortable environment. If you prefer to have me take the pet or don’t want me in your home, please let me know asap and we can hopefully work something out.

“Cole promptly assisted a family in a difficult situation on short notice. We strongly recommend him for any future dog care requirements. His vet tech background was helpful in identifying a persistent problem with our dog, adding valuable expertise. If you're looking for a local animal lover who combines humility and trustworthiness, your search ends here.”

“What a huge relief it was to find Avery. Avery watched my Beagle boy for a week and I didn't worry once about it. She's lovely, professional, flexible and reliable, I'll most definitely be asking her to watch my dog again. Couldn't recommend her more.”

“Zachary was amazing, and a lifesaver taking Ruairí for walks while my mom was puppy sitting her! Will definitely be booking with him again :)”

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, responsibility, and attention I bring to everything I do. As a rehabilitation aide and full-time college student, I am used to being dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to individual needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing outside, or relaxing at home, I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family. That's why I prioritize communication, provide updates and photos, and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to make sure they are happy, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Dogs fit naturally into my daily routine. I work per diem as a rehabilitation aide and every other weekend as a café associate at South Shore Health, which gives me a flexible schedule. I am generally more available in the afternoons and evenings, making it easy for me to provide walks, playtime, companionship, and attentive care throughout the day. When caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, fresh water, and any meals or medications according to their schedule. I also prioritize safety, comfort, and communication by providing regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is happy, well cared for, and treated like family while they're away.

“Great consistent walker that is friendly and kind.”

About: Hi! My name is Destanee, and I’m a passionate animal lover and experienced professional dog groomer who genuinely treats every pet like my own. I’ve worked hands-on with all breeds, sizes, and personalities — from tiny nervous pups to big energetic goofballs. Because of my grooming background, I’m extremely comfortable handling dogs who may be anxious, wiggly, shy, or need extra patience. I’m trained to read body language, keep pets calm, and make sure they feel safe and cared for at all times. My schedule changes every week but I typically have a few days off every week! I’d like to fit dog walking in on my days off. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure they have fresh water, feed them according to instructions, and provide potty breaks and walks based on their normal schedule. I also give them plenty of attention, playtime, and reassurance while monitoring their behavior to ensure they are happy and safe.

“Bubba had two excellent walks with Diane! She was very responsive re: scheduling and arrival. Diane took the time to talk with me about Bubba's little (big) personality, worked with him on the walk, and provided a full report and cute photos. I highly recommend Diane!”

About: I've been taking care of my orange cat (Pete) and walking my neighbours dogs since I was 13, and I always love meeting and learning about people's pets! I've found that if you love and respect animals, they will often respect and love you back. I can't wait to meet your best friend! I usually get up pretty early, and have a good amount of time on my hands at the moment. I will always make your pet my number one priority while under my care. I'm always looking to build a strong relationship of safety and trust with both pets and pet parents. Always let me know what I can do to give you the most peace of mind during any stay.

I have a one year old Poochon who is sweet, friendly, and very well behaved. I believe in full transparency and clear communication, and I take pride in doing great work. I will always follow your instructions, prioritize safety, and send clear updates with photos. If you are open to it, I would love to bring my friendly Poochon along for social pups. If not, no problem at all. I’m happy to come solo and follow your preference. Thank you for considering me. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pooch and help keep them happy, safe, and cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m very flexible and available every day of the week. I love the outdoors and staying active, so walks and drop ins are an easy, consistent part of my day. I can accommodate last minute requests, follow your pet’s routine closely, and I always provide reliable care with clear updates each visit. Clean, calm, pet friendly home with a large backyard and plenty of room to play. My friendly 1 year old Poochon is home, so I only accept dogs who are comfortable around other dogs. I closely follow your routine (feeding, potty schedule, and house rules) and send photo updates. I have video cameras in the home for safety, and someone is home 24/7 for supervision and care.

About: Hello! I am an animal lover with extensive experience caring for my own dog for 13 years, for children of young ages, and of elderly adults with cerebral palsy. I am extremely responsible, timely, and organized - traits that are required for success in the field I primarily work in (Medical Education/Biomedical Research). Additionally, I am very compassionate and loving towards animals, and I deeply respect and understand the bond pet owners have with their animals. I would be so thrilled to spend time with and get to know your pet! I currently work remotely, so I am consistently available for pet care! I tend to go to the gym in the mornings and go to cafes during the day to work, but I also do work from home often and could spend the entire day with an animal if needed! I also love to be/walk outside so dog walking and potty breaks are much needed moments of relaxation from the workday! I understand the value of keep routines consistent and creating a safe space for your animal. I am very vigilant and ensure I never let an animal out of my sight while outside. I would make sure to follow all the rules outlined by owners to keep their pet safe and comfortable while in my care!

About: Hi there! My name is Abby and I am an avid dog lover looking to provide some pups with extra playtime, physical activity and attention. I have been talking care of dogs for 5 years now ranging from basic training to pet sitting. Reasons you should hire me: 1. I will love your dog like my own 2. I will provide them with mental & physical activities to tire them out and have the best day possible 3. I will reinforce any training/rules you are currently try to work on at home I currently live in Quincy, MA and work from home every day of the week; therefore, I am widely available during weekdays and weekends to ensure your pet gets consistent and reliable care from someone you trust! No one knows their pet better then their owner; therefore, to ensure trust and safety I require additional information of what to expect of your pet to ensure he/she will receive the best care. Some questions I may ask you are: How is your pet on walks? Will try to chase a bird or try to jump on others to say hello? -knowing this type of information will allow me to protect your pet and ensure it has a safe environment.

About: Hello! i have been working with animals well- most of my life! I’m 18 which might seem young but i promise your fur baby is safe with me. I grew up around cats, dogs and even horses! I have fostered kittens that were too young to be adopted out and bottle-fed them (amazing memories) Puppies are no new thing around here! I’m familiar with handling, strict feeding schedules and frequent potty breaks and cleanups. I just moved up to the quincy area! I’m currently in the midst of trade school and wanted to do something i love and care for. I do everything online so my schedules are very adjustable and flexible to you! Pets are amazing don’t get it wrong! Yet they require a lot of work. I have a small sized pup at home who’s older but still has tons of spunk. Feedings twice a day (more if necessary). I am also familiar with giving animals medication both cats and dogs. I understand every fur baby is different but with the right communication anything is possible. Frequent walks are my thing so might as well bring your pups along with me.

About: I have loved dogs since I was little and made a habit out of asking for a puppy at every holiday. I watched/walked neighbors’, friends’, and family members’ dogs. My parents finally let me get my own pup, a yellow lab and my connection with dogs just grew from there. I have worked at a dog grooming salon so I have plenty experience with all dog types, ages and personalities. I also have experience with training as I have trained 3 of my own dogs and have assisted others with their pets. I don’t currently have any pets, but I did have a male boxer named Bentley who was high energy and super goofy. I miss being around a dog all the time and am passionate about dogs so I have finally decided to do something about it. I also love being outside and staying active so if you need someone to help out with your pup just reach out! I work full-time, but I’m trying to get into something that I am passionate about. Mondays and Tuesdays I have the most availability, but late afternoons and evenings also work for me. I have a fenced in yard and I am aware in all surroundings so that will lead to your pet staying safe. In addition, I am respectful, dependable, and not careless. I am meticulous in all I do so no need to worry when your pup is with me!

“Amanda is great with dogs! She's reliable and shows up on time.”

About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a kid. I love all animals. But dogs are my favorite. Dogs genuinely adapt to me very well. My part time job allows me to have extra time to pick up some doggy clients during the day which I love spending time with my furry friends. I’m also available during the weekend as well. I’m really sorry but I do not offer care/ services at my home. Unfortunately my dog is reactive so I cannot take that chance with her.
