Meet Tonya Montella
Hey there! 👋🏽
I’m Tonya - Saugus Mom, proud dog lover, and 2x business owner. After spending 20+ years in corporate America, I've been pouring my heart into work that I enjoy most...supporting women in their careers (that's business 1) and caring for dogs (meet Gracie's Way!). I've been walking and boarding dogs for over 2.5 years and after doing so across the North Shore, it's time to bring my services right here to our own community.
Whether you’ve got a couch-loving pup or a trailblazing tail-wagger, I treat every dog like family (yep, that includes baby talk and butt scratches). At Gracie’s Way, your pet isn’t just another walk on my schedule; they’re the best part of my day and as a member of your family, they deserve safe, joyful, loving care - and a dog walker who genuinely gets it!
Whether you’re heading to work, taking a weekend trip, or just need an extra hand, I’ve got you (and your pup) covered.
Let’s walk! 🐾

So...Who's Gracie?
Oh I'm so glad you asked 😊
Gracie is our late dog, and the inspiration behind Gracie's Way. She was the first dog my husband and I rescued, and she stole our hearts for 14 full years. She had such an incredible spirit, LOVED the outdoors and was always ready for anything. She saw us through the loss of our first son, and walked alongside us as we raised our second.
At Gracie's Way, I care for your pet just as I would my own. Gracie wouldn't have it any other way.
That's why, it's Gracie's Way ♥
