A Bark in the Park

Specialties

We take small groups of dogs (no more than 5) for off-​leash playgroups. Your dog will get to romp and play for 1.5 hours and come home tired, but very happy. Free pickup and drop-​off.

We also do pet sitting.

If you live in Weston, MA and surrounding towns, or Cambridge, MA, we’d love to have your dog join us.

Susie and John D.

Business Owner

A Bark in the Park is run by the husband and wife team of Susie and John D.

From a very young age when she brought home worms for pets (her mother said she could keep them as long as she found a good place for them to live, so she put them back where she found them), Susie has always loved animals. She’s had the typical childhood pets: guinea pigs, hamsters, mice, gerbils, cat, turtles.

As soon as she lived in a house, she got her first dog and it’s been love ever since. Now she and her husband have two dogs, an albino ring necked dove, and a menagerie of pet rats.

Susie has been a professional dog walker since 2006 and she can’t believe people pay her to do what she loves.

In 2010 her husband, John, came on board. John grew up being the ‘puppy’ of the family golden retriever, Bonnie. Since then, he has always had dogs.

Together Susie and John will take great care of your loved one.
