Dog Walking Newton Highlands

About: I have taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was a child, and have taken care of friends and families pets for many years as well. I have even had neighbors rely on me to check on their pets when they are out of town. I also used to volunteer at my local animal shelter, which was such a great experience! I am currently working full time, Monday through Friday from 7 am to 3:30 pm. I am also a student and have class Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, leaving me unavailable on those days for now. I am mostly available in the evening, and on weekends and holidays. I care for my own pets and others by consistently checking water bowls, bathroom areas, and keeping a consistent food schedule. I love to give lots of pets and cuddles if that’s what the pet likes!

“Leanne stopped by twice a day during a busy weekend to take care of my dog Freddie. She showed such warmth and love to him from the very start! She took him on walks and spent extra time playing with him in my apartment before leaving without my even asking. I am so grateful to know I could trust her with Freddie while I was busy! Thank you, Leanne!”

“Scout had a great first week with Aaron - she seemed happy with the walks and very comfortable with him. From the human side, he's a good and responsive communicator, and responsible around scheduling and closing up the house. He clearly loves dogs and has a good way with them. Thumbs up!”

About: What sets me apart is my understanding of animal behavior and my calm, confident approach with pets of all temperaments. I’m experienced in basic training for puppies, providing exercise for high-energy dogs, and offering gentle care for seniors. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. Whether you need weekday walks, weekend care, or last-minute bookings, I’m happy to help whenever I’m available. I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, affection, and personalized care, and I’ll always keep you updated with photos and messages throughout our time together When I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow each pet’s schedule for feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, medication, and playtime. I also take time to give them affection and attention so they feel safe while their family is away. I treat every home with respect and always leave things neat and tidy.

About: Hi! My name is Luci, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. As a veterinary technician student and proud dog mom to three dogs over the years, I know how much our pets mean to us. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's truly my passion. I love getting to know each dog's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether that means long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, I'll care for your pet as if they were my own. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends. I love spending my free time with animals, so your pet will get lots of attention, care, and affection while you're away. As a veterinary technician student working toward becoming a Certified Veterinary Technician, I have a strong understanding of animal behavior, health, and safety. Creating a safe, calm, and positive environment is always my top priority. I pay close attention to each pet's individual needs and comfort level, making sure they feel secure, loved, and stress-free while in my care.

“Elise was great - she has experience with other dogs, including her own, and supported our puppy throughout the walk. We will be sure to book with her again.”

“Samantha is a great communicator and caretaker. Samantha is a regular dogwalker for my medium/large rescue lab/shepherd mix named Tofu, who has some level of anxiety. Samantha always updates me if there are changes in schedule or with Tofu’s behaviors during the walk. Samantha also asks questions and is attentive to Tofu’s needs, and has been building a positive consistent relationship. Thank you, Samantha for giving Tofu the exercise he needs!”

About: I’ve cared for pets for years! I dog-sat my grandpas dog and also had a cat when I was younger. I love all animals! I’m reliable, patient and friendly with your pets. I’m currently working part time for the Red Sox on the grounds crew which makes seasonal schedule very flexible. I am available most days during the warm seasons and even more during the winter! I follow your pet’s routine closely: meals, walks, meds, and playtime, so they feel safe and comfortable. I treat your home with the same respect, keeping everything tidy and secure, while giving your pet plenty of love and attention.

About: I grew up with animals. Dogs and cats specifically have always been apart of my life. I am able to keep up with with the youngest peppy puppy or slow down to meet the pace of a senior dog. I am not fazed by much and happy to provide the same love and care that you would give to your animal. I am a freelancer with a very flexible schedule. I have the ability to work with you on potential last minute needs and care for your pets. I am very comfortable caring for animals weather it be a quick check at the home ot in an more outdoor adventure. My goal is to give your animal the care they care they need in the environment that works best for you and them.

About: As much as I love playing with puppies I have a fondness for senior dogs. I have spent more time caring for senior dogs and enjoy being around them. I worked nights and was always available for vet appointments. My dog Nicholas went to aquatherapy often and my Pug did acupuncture. I have cared for dogs needing meds, diaper changes, extra lifts, & short walks that required a long time. I often had dogs that needed fresh or homemade food and lots of treats & love. Being retired I am often home working on projects. I also am fortunate to have friends all over the country. I go to their homes and care for their pets while they vacation. I currently have no pets. I live 50ft to the paths along the Charles River. It is a great place to walk dogs. We come upon small wildlife, other dogs and lots of joggers. Some dogs still get excited need some training and treats. I have spent hours out there sitting with pets.

“Austin had been a spectacular help. They walk our pug, Theo! His communication is great and he’s very friendly. As well Theo loves him :) We are very grateful for Austin and their services!”

About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I’ve been caring for pets for 8 years, and nothing makes me happier than getting to know each animal’s unique personality. I work with both dogs and cats and have experience with everything from tiny puppies to slow‑moving seniors, from shy kitties to big, energetic dogs. I grew up in a family that owned two Shar‑Peis, so I’m very comfortable with stubborn, reactive, or strong‑willed breeds. I understand body language, thresholds, and how to build trust with pets who need a little extra patience. Whether your dog is still learning manners or your cat prefers a quiet observer, I meet every animal where they are. I currently have a very open schedule, so pet care fits easily into my day. I’m home most of the time and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether you need morning, midday, or evening visits. I care for pets in their own home so they can stay relaxed in a familiar space. I follow your routines exactly, keep your home secure, and double‑check doors and gates before leaving. I’m respectful of your space and send updates so you always know your pet is safe and comfortable.

“Sarah took my pup on a nice walk, she is great to communicate with, flexible with timing, and seemed very experienced. I knew my dog was safe and in good hands!”

About: I have taken care of pets my entire life! I am lucky to have cared for pets across their entire lives, from puppy/kitten to lovely senior pets. I am currently volunteering at a cat shelter in Boston and would love to bring that experience to your pets. I love pets of all shapes and sizes, but I absolutely adore caring for big dogs and shy cats. I volunteer at a cat shelter in Boston three days a week, but I am otherwise free all throughout weekdays to look after your pets! I am happy to do morning or midday visits to take special care of your pets. I think it is incredibly important that caring for pets does not disrupt their regular habits or schedule! It's so important to gain the trust of people's pets in order to properly care for them, and so I will do everything I can to make sure that your pets feel safe and comfortable while I make sure their needs are met.
