Dog Walking West Newton

“We adopted August about 2 weeks ago and Allyson has been a wonderful friend to August making sure that he is taken care of mid-day while we’re working. Allyson goes above and beyond to make sure instructions are followed and adapts to August’s rapid growth. Thank you, Allyson!”

About: What sets me apart is that I truly love dogs! I currently work at a grooming facility, so I am comfortable being around different types of dogs and learning their individual needs. I also have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and have fun. I have four kids who love dogs, so we have a fun and loving home for pups. I would love for my kids to get comfortable around different dogs before we have a family dog of our own. I have time during the week to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work full-time as a paraprofessional Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. My husband is home during the day, so the pup will have someone home with them while I’m at work. Once I’m home, I’ll be with the pup for the rest of the day and can give them plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I’m looking forward to play with your pups! I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I also have four children under the age of 9 who absolutely love dogs! We have a fun, loving family, and we would be happy to welcome your pup into our home. I will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while also making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: Over 7 years experience caring for all different kinds of animals in all capacities! I know how to administer medication, orally or injection, and wouldn’t mind doing so. I received my trainers certification from Catch Trainers Academy in 2024 and am well versed in dogs language and behavior. I’m also pet CPR/first aid certified through the Red Cross. I’m a full time pet sitter & dog trainer so I’m able to have an extremely accommodating schedule because of this. This allows me to be there for pet parents when needed! **House sitting is for the hours of 5pm-8am - price reflects 6 hours of care | please reach out if you have different needs** I believe in patiently caring for every animal, as every animal is different and special in their own way. Your animal will be loved on and given plenty of cuddles and treats. I’m willing to walk them wherever is convenient. If your dog just wants to chill (it’s like that sometimes) we can hang out. I can properly and gently re-crate any dogs and, if needed, put up any cats.

About: What sets me apart is a combination of specialized, hands-on care experience and a commitment to personalized, stress-free care. I am trained in managing complex senior care needs, including medication administration, while also focusing on positive reinforcement training to help puppies build confidence and good manners. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels as comfortable as they do when you are at home. I am able to stop by as many times as needed everyday throughout the week (Monday-Friday) after 3:00Pm and able to stop by as many times as needed on the weekends (Saturday and Sunday) after 3:00Pm. Caring for pets requires prioritizing safety, building trust through communication, and maintaining a secure environment. Key actions include adhering strictly to routines (feeding, walking), securing hazards (cleaning supplies, small objects, gates), and keeping detailed records of veterinary contacts. Daily photo updates and maintaining hygiene ensure peace of mind.

About: I grew up with labs and when I was in high school, my mom adopted cats. I adopted my own cats in January and November of 2023. Through my time on Rover and Wag!, I have experience with all sorts of dogs! My gallery consists of all of the animals I have cared for as well as my own pets:) I am in my last year of my full-time Master’s program and am in a part-time internship downtown MWF from 9-4 as well as working part-time three days/week downtown. I know I have a busy schedule and I understand if this doesn’t work for your pet’s needs, but know that I will give your pet/s all of my love and attention and the best care possible when I am with them:) I do my best to go off of their needs and their schedule! If a pup needs a little bit to get comfortable with me, I let them take their time before I approach them or before we do anything. First and foremost, I want everyone to feel comfortable.

About: I have 17 years experience in the veterinary service field. With working in clinic and having adopted countless senior and special needs kiddos, I am skilled at giving both oral and injectable medications on a regular basis. I am trained in fear free handling and believe in positive reinforcement training. If you are looking for a person with a passion for animals and the experience to back it up please reach out. I would absolutely love to be your pets new best friend! Right now I am in between jobs so my availability is very open. The only real work around will be the puppy I currently have. My care of your pets will be solely dependent on you and your family’s requests. Every family has different wants for what they are working on with their dog so I am highly flexible to help with that.

About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals (including farm) since I was old enough to drive. I was also a vet tech for years!!! I recently quit my job as a preschool teacher, but don't want to be bored. I have all day to fill with your animal cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a big fur baby of my own to keep your baby company and entertained. The more the merrier.

About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals, which taught me how to read their body language and understand their needs from a young age. On top of that, I bring six years of professional dog grooming experience to my pet sitting. This means your pet isn't just getting a companion—they are staying with a professional who knows how to handle coat care, spot skin issues early, and keep anxious dogs calm and comfortable. Our daily routine starts in the morning with a quick potty break, followed by individual feedings so everyone can eat safely and at their own pace. Afterward, we head out for our morning walk or yard play while energy is high, followed by a quiet midday nap/relaxation to let food safely digest. Throughout the afternoon, your dog will get another bathroom break, a professional coat brush-out to check skin health, and some mental enrichment like puzzle toys or lick mats. As we transition into the evening, we serve dinner according to your exact instructions and burn off any remaining energy with a fun sunset play session. Finally, at night, we wind down with plenty of couch cuddles in a true home environment before a final potty break and a peaceful, secure lights-out. Every pet in my care receives individualized attention focused on their physical safety and emotional well-being. I design a calm, low-stress environment where your pet can relax, ensuring their unique routines are strictly followed to prevent anxiety. By carefully reading their body language, I respect their personal boundaries and use gentle, patient interaction to build genuine trust at their own pace. Safety is always my top priority, which means I maintain secure environments, supervise all activities, and use my professional handling skills to keep every situation controlled and peaceful. Your pet will never be rushed or forced into interaction, giving them the secure, comfortable home-away-from-home experience they deserve.

“Dorian was beyond amazing with my wild child. She made sure that he was comfortable enough and gave him all the attention and love he needed while i was gone even if it meant spending a few extra minutes with him. Thank you sooooo much and i really appreciate everything you did for Onyx!”

About: I have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.

About: I have taken care of pets for as long as I can remember! I have been responsible for feeding, walking, bathing, etc. I love loving on and taking care of pups + cats. I have a pup of my own, so I am very used to the routine of walking/playing/taking care of them. She is extremely friendly and loves having friends come stay! They will be very loved and occasionally come home with a new toy. I have a yard where your pets can run around and get as much exercise as they need! Millie loves being outside so she’ll be right along with them. We go on walks frequently as long as the weather allows! All pups are always welcome to sleep right next to me and mine in bed, or in a crate if necessary!
