Doggy Day Care in Newton

“Keunyung (Grace) has been amazing and our dog loved staying with her! Our dog is a little anxious and has difficulty getting to know new people, she was very attentive, caring and gentle with him, which helped him adjust to the new environment. He was tired and happy when I picked him up. Grace was also very responsive and friendly, and sent us photos of him having a good time. We can highly recommend her!”

About: I had my own dog from the age of 8 until recently, at the age of 21. My dog was diagnosed with Cushing’s Disease towards the last few years of his life so I am experienced with caring for sick, nervous, and anxious dogs. Also, one of my roommates brought her miniature golden doodle to live with us this past year, so I am also well experienced with active, playful dogs. I am also a sucker for cats as well. I am free this summer since I am a teacher so I have plenty of down time to care for pets and get outside as much as possible. I live in an apartment so caring for pets in my home would be a bit constricting for my clients’ pets. And if I choose to work an in-home care I would be extremely respectful and courteous of others’ homes.

“Snigdha was a wonderful pet sitter for our dog, Willow! Very communicative through the planning, pick up/drop off, and even sent updates during her time with Willow.”

“Tomoe was awesome taking care of my rescue Mello. Not only did she squeeze me on a late request but also was able to accommodate a meet and greet in such a short span of time to make sure that Mello got along with her dog Max. This was important to me since it's one of my first times leaving Mello with a caregiver that owned a dog and this meant Tomoe truly cared about the mental wellbeing of the dog she watches as well as her own. She was super responsive to texts and reliably sent pictures and videos of Mello throughout the entire day which made me feel so at ease that Mello was having a good time and felt safe! She reliably took and sent pictures of their walks and activities such as car rides, her kids playing and interacting with him, etc and I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I would definitely book her again and would recommend her!”

“Ashley was great with my anxious dog Cosmo! She was extremely prompt with her replies, super communicative, and really sweet with him. She took him for a walk and was super attentive to all his needs and the notes I gave her! She has a lovely cozy living space and Cosmo was immediately at home. I would definitely use her again!”

“Emma took such great care of Arya and she was so happy with her stay! Emma sent updates and pictures to me of my baby girl and kept me updated with any changes. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Ismael and his wife are so amazing with Felix. My pup literally jumps into their arms when he sees them, such a great feeling! He comes home tired which is also a nice perk 😊”

“What an incredible and warm-hearted dog mom!! Thank you for taking such great care of my Chico while I was at work and for being so flexible with my schedule!”

“Meaghan is the best sitter. She started taking care of my 3 kids, and when we got our Golden Retriever she started taking care of her during our family travels. She is the best caregiver. Mei Mei was only 10 weeks old the first time Meaghan took care of her, we were nervous leaving her so little but Meaghan made us feel comfortable and kept us up to date with everything. She sends updates and lots of pictures and videos (which my kids love). Our pup still gets really excited and happy when she sees Meaghan, you can tell she really enjoys her time with her and her dog. She returns her clean and keeps her very active, my pup always comes back from Meaghan's ready to take a day to relax, which is great! We are so thankful to have found Meaghan, and can't recommend her enough. She is experienced with puppies to adult dogs, and keeps them busy with walks, hikes and dog parks.”

“Brandee is fantastic with communication and has a fabulous location! Penny was nice and tired when she came home from daycare. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!”

“Neil is extremely accommodating and helped us take care of our Pup Cash! The best part is Cash played with Neil’s dog Banjo all day when we dropped him off for daycare services! Thank you Neil for watching Cash!”

“Sara was super responsive and took great care of pebbles! Would highly recommend Sara!”

About: Animal care is what I love to do! I am a Spring 2022 UVM Animal Science graduate. In the past, I have been a kennel technician and veterinary technician assistant. Most recently, I have worked as a veterinary technician. I make sure all pets under my care receive timely feedings, medication, and exercise. There is a park right near my apartment that I’ll be happy to take your pup to. I also insure that your pet feels included in my home environment. Just as my own dog, Tommy, is entitled to my love and attention, your pet will receive that very same level of affection. I rent an apartment with my boyfriend on the 3rd floor of a condominium that has a shared fenced yard. My partner also is an animal lover and may be the one to give your pup an extra walk during the day if I am at work. Although I am comfortable working with any breed or energy level within your home, smaller than 50 Ibs or senior pets would get along best with Tommy in mine. Cats welcome!

“I cannot speak highly enough of Erin’s skills as a dog sitter. Erin is an incredibly caring and loving individual who goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of the dogs under her watch. Erin has a genuine love and passion for animals, and our dog Cooper is obsessed with her. It’s evident that she truly understands the needs and behaviors of dogs, which should make anyone feel comfortable leaving them in her care. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Erin as a dog sitter. Her caring nature, deep understanding of dogs, and dedication to providing a safe and joyful environment make her an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a responsible and loving caregiver for their furry family members.”

“Susi is the best! Our rescue puppy was happy to stay with Susi. Charlie looks forward to seeing Susi again soon. We highly recommend Susi, she is warm, caring, and asks the right questions about Charlie’s needs.”

“Tina was AMAZING. Her communication with us and amount of photos was above and beyond. It's just as important to us that our sitters have a good experience as it is for our 6 month old pup to have a good time! After all, 6 months can be a challenging age :) She gave us detailed and thorough feedback about her stay, and made the transition back home so smooth (we knew when she ate, peed, pooped, etc). We would book with Tina again in a heartbeat!”

“Phoenix watched Petey while I was away for a long weekend. She sent picture updates everyday and followed all the care instructions for Petey! He was well taken care of and I know Petey would love to come back.”

“Robert has taken care of my dogs for 3 years now. I go away on vacation and business trips often and both of my dogs have always been cared for so well, that they seem happier and healthier by the time I get back. He takes them on regular engaging walks, to dog parks, on hikes, and even to the beach. He's so thorough that he checks for ticks and makes sure they are safe before he leaves my home. Before caring for my pets, he traveled the country house and pet sitting as well for over a year. I can tell he truly loves animals and cares about their well-being as if they were his own. Couldn't recommend a better sitter for your home or pets! Thanks Robert!!”

“My dog absolutely loves staying with Deirdre and her dog Goliath. And I absolutely love how safe and well-cared for my pup is while in Deirdre’s care! I get daily text and pic updates and my girl gets lots of good walks, plenty of attention, and even a spot on the bed! I hate having to go out of town but when I can book my pup with Deirdre I don’t worry about her and that makes everything easier. Deirdre is phenomenal, and I recommend her without reservation.”

“Sofia clearly cares about the dogs in her care. She even called us to report that our younger pup was hungry and asked whether she should feed the two dogs.”
