Dog Walking Newton

About: Hi everyone! My name is Ingrid, and I’m excited to offer my dog-walking and sitting services. While I may be new to professional dog sitting, I have two wonderful dogs of my own, Rocky (6 years) and Odie (4 years), who have taught me a lot about pet care. I have had them both since they were 3 months old and I trained them both. I'm passionate about providing a loving and safe environment for all dogs. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and giving them the attention and care they deserve! I am a full time Radiologic Technologist and work 10:30am-9pm, with some weekends and also take call. My confirmed day off is Wednesdays. Otherwise communicate with me and I can see what I can do to take care of your lovely furry friends! Typically it would have to be before 10am or after 9pm when I am available:) My dogs are the happiest dogs, and they get so excited when I come home. They are very spoiled with many toys, playtime, and walks. We have a big backyard so they go inside and outside whenever they want. They are both potty trained, and Rocky is trained with basic commands such as sit, stay, wait, high five, and lay down.

“Ari is great! She was kind, communicative, punctual, and took excellent care of my pups. She is obviously a natural with dogs. We even had a broken collar situation while I was at work and she found the harnesses and made the walk happen. I highly suggest hiring her to care for your animals. Thank you, Ari!”

About: For over 10 years, I loved and cared for my own beloved dogs before they passed away a few years ago, and for the past 4 years, I have been occasionally sitting for my neighbor's dog. I have a 6-year-old daughter and a 7-year-old son who share my deep love for animals, so your pup will get plenty of gentle affection and enthusiastic playtime from our family! In our home, your fur baby will have a secure, fenced yard to explore. Whether they prefer high-energy fun or just lounging around and getting belly rubs, we adapt to whatever makes your dog feel safest and most comfortable. I am a Special Education teacher currently on summer break, which means I have a highly flexible schedule and open availability! My own children are in summer camp Monday through Friday during the day, giving me plenty of dedicated, uninterrupted time to focus entirely on your pet's routine, walks, and care. I am available for boarding and daytime companionship, ensuring your fur baby gets plenty of attention and love. As a SPED teacher, I bring patience, structure, and deep reliability into my pet care. I offer a very secure environment with a fully fenced yard for safe playtime. Because my husband works night shifts and sleeps during the day, our home maintains a wonderfully calm, quiet, and peaceful atmosphere during the daytime hours—perfect for dogs who get stressed by loud noises. In the evenings and weekends, my 6 and 7-year-old children join the fun, and they are incredibly gentle and respectful animal lovers. Your pet will receive 100% of our family's care and focus!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs both big and small, old and young! I love them all. Whether it be dog-sitting at the owners house while they’re away or simply doing a drop in and letting them play and go outside for a bit, I love caring for them. I’m flexible on hours currently however I’m hoping on getting a part-time job soon! But as for now anytime in the day is a good time for me to come care for your furry friends. With a clients home I always try to be clean and respectful of the space, making sure your fur-baby is safe, comfortable, and where you want them to be!

About: I've cared for many types of dogs and cats for 20 years, and been around them for longer. I love to give your pet exactly what they need when they are in my care; shy furbabies get lots of patience and space, excited ones will get the opportunity to work out their energy! Every pet is different and they have different routines and behaviors. I spend time getting to know what your pet responds well to in order to provide the best experience for them, including when they have anxiety or an abundance of energy. I have a flexible schedule, so I can dedicate time to pet care across the day and week. I'm home to care for my pets usually and can adapt to a routine for care as needed. I will come to your pet's environment and care for them in your home. I find that pets respond well to a new person when in a familiar place with all their food, toys, treats and smells. I understand the vulnerability of allowing someone into your home, and I conduct myself with integrity to match the trust you extend me. I ask for clear boundaries and communication about the care for your pet and allowed spaces in the home which will allow me to respect your home and private areas. I am comfortable cleaning messes because accidents happen when you combine new people, new routines, and anxiety. My intention is always to have you return home to an undisturbed environment and your safe and content pets.

“Laine is the best! Lots of communication and pictures!”

About: I've been taking care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors for years. I grew up around dogs and have yet to meet one that doesn't like me. Through the years, I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats; from young, crazy pups to old, sick dogs and from ornery mostly outdoor cats to snuggly kitties that want to use me as a bed. My other job is remote, so my schedule is very flexible for whatever your pet may need. Weekends or weekdays doesn't make much of a difference. I'm also a morning person, so early morning walks, feedings, etc are perfectly fine! For boarding, I have one pet friendly roommate and dog. The dog is so cat friendly that she annoys some cats by trying to convince them to play. My yard is fenced, but there is currently a damaged section that has been covered with temporary plastic fencing. The damage will be repaired soon and until then, I don't let anyone out there without supervision. For house sitting or drop-ins, I treat your pets the way I would want mine treated. I also try to match any routines your pet might be used to, if it's eating at a certain time or always being let out at a certain time, just let me know and I'll make sure to keep things as familiar as possible for your furry friends.

About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I am currently in school still but get out early. I am available for walking your dogs anytime after 2:30p.m. I am also available for boarding I have a friendly dog a long with some 6 year old that loves animals along with playing with animals and super friendly with them

About: I grew up with large and small dogs and cats. Around 5 years ago I learned to care for an elderly mostly blind, and def dog who had seizures up until she passed. I am fairly strong so if needed I can carry animals up and down stares or just in general if needed. I work great with elderly dogs especially ones who need extra care. I do have experience administering medication orally if needed and I am very patient. Wile I’m great with older dogs I also grew up with puppies because one of our other dogs had multiple litters and we cared for them. I do online schooling and have a class every Saturday from 1 to 5. I also work a few days a week from around 4 to 10pm. In my opinion you know what’s best for your dog so I will always follow your rules. I strongly believe in following what rules you have in place but at the same time if something happens I’m not afraid to reach out to you

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 8, starting from aquatic pets, reptiles, to common furry in-home pets. I bathe, walk, feed, play, monitor, etc. Your fur baby will be in great hands. Flexible, stacked throughout the day 10am - 9pm Scheduled visits fit daily Pet care in time blocks/Pet care around my day Structured daily pet visits I follow each pet’s routine with feeding, fresh water, potty or litter care, playtime, and any special instructions. I keep pets safe, comfortable, and happy while providing updates to owners.

About: In my past I have handled small and large dog breeds. I have also worked with training puppies, so I am used to an active animal! Pet care is perfect for my daily routine, because I am a student so when I have free time taking care of animals is the best! My job is to care for your pet and make them happy! I keep a calm and kind demeanor, because every pet deserves a smiling face!

About: I have done rescue work for dogs. I actually have two dogs of my own one. I saved from the Humane Society and one I saved for a rescue who is going to be put to sleep for no reason. I am currently not working so I would be home all of the time with them. They would get all the attention in the world. We have a a fenced in backyard that they would be able to run around in and the cats would be kept inside and fed. What food daily if you please. I have a fenced in backyard and two very very friendly dogs who love new friends. Your dog would be very loved and taken care of. I also have four cats who love to have new friends in they would be very loved and taken care of and would not be let outside at all

About: I've been an animal lover since I was four when my first dog came into my life :) I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was around ten, and it's been something I've loved doing ever since. I've cared for all types of pets - from puppies to senior dogs, cats of all personalities, turtles, fish, and even some farm animals! I have no problem giving medications - I've given insulin injections to diabetic dogs many times and understand how important it is to stick to medication schedules. I understand how pets thrive on their familiar routines and environment. I'll make sure to maintain their schedule and send you updates with plenty of photos while you're away :) I know firsthand that there’s nothing better than seeing your pets happy and relaxed when you can't be with them! I work remotely and choose my own hours, so my schedule is quite flexible! I’m a bit of a night owl naturally, so I especially love taking fur babies for evening walks, but any time I get to care for an animal is a great time :) I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, turtles, chickens, and everything in between for over ten years now, so I have experience handling almost every situation that could come about :) I’ve administered insulin via injection to dogs, fed both cats and dogs pills, cleaned up after them if there are any accidents, placed them in (and taken them out of) crates gently and calmly, and generally whatever was necessary to ensure that every pet in my care is happy and well taken care of.

About: Since 2018, I’ve been the go-to Rover sitter for pet parents who want peace of mind and pups who want nonstop love and attention. 🐶 I don’t just ‘watch’ dogs. I keep them safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own.” I trust dogs more than I trust most humans, which makes this more than just a side gig for me. Caring for your pups is something I genuinely enjoy. Why choose me? • 🛡️ Safety first: Your dog’s wellbeing is always my #1 priority (and mine too, because let’s be honest, no one wants a Rottweiler deciding I look like a chew toy). • 🏃‍♀️ Active & alert: I’m quick on my feet, tuned in, and ready to spring into action if a situation gets “ruff.” • 🧠 Dog smarts + intuition: I have a natural ability to read dogs’ body language and moods, whether I’m meeting a nervous Chihuahua or a 120 pound gentle giant. • 📸 Peace of mind updates: Expect photos, videos, and proof of tail wags so you feel like you never left. Over the years, every dog I’ve cared for has left a paw print on my heart (and sometimes a little slobber on my shirt). Big or small, shy or spunky … I’ve worked with them all, and I strive to make every pup feel safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. If you want a sitter who will love your dog like family, treat safety like sacred ground, and sprinkle in a little humor along the way, I’m your person. 🐾 Taking care of dogs isn’t a side gig for me . Definitely a lifestyle. I already have my own little wolfpack, so loving, protecting, and spoiling pups is second nature. When your K9 is with me, they’re not just “watched”… they’re family. Think of it as a WIN/WIN: your dog gets unconditional love and adventure, and you get peace of mind knowing they’re safe, happy, and thriving. I can’t wait to meet your best friend (and claim them as my new sidekick).

About: Hi! I have taken care of animals since I was a young child. I grew up taking care of a German Shepard and two cats. When I was a teenager I was the primary caretaker for my cat. From age 16-20 I volunteered at two animal shelters working with horses, farm animals, dogs and cats. I gained many interesting experiences working with goats, chickens, ducks and other animals while at the shelter. I dedicated more than twenty hours weekly volunteering and I would like to work with animals now as it is a very important passion. I currently have an older dog, who I adopted over four years ago. I am a nursing student and will be working at my job part time shortly to accommodate my class schedule. When I am not in classes or at work, my availability is very open. My schedule does vary as nursing school schedules vary a lot but I am very communicative regarding scheduling and availability. I care deeply about pet care and ensuring pets are treated with love and kindness. I saw first hand how hard it can be to trust someone to take of your pets while you are away. It is my mission to ensure that each animal in my care is treated with love, kindness and with the utmost care. I ensure that if you trust me with your beloved family member I will make sure that they are comfortable and happy while in my care. I appreciate you considering and trusting me to be apart of your animals life.
