I absolutely love caring for dogs and I take dog-walking very seriously. I have dedicated my professional life to caring for dogs. The health & safety of your dog is my top priority. I'm insured and I follow a safety protocol in order to respect the privacy of your property and keep your pup out of harms way. I will treat your dog with love and affection, and while walking your dog will not use cel phone or anything that will distract me from safely walking your dog. I do understand that you know your dog best. It is my mission to provide each dog with service that is tailored to their own unique needs. -Private solo walks & small pack social walks available -Feeding, care & training included upon request -GPS & walk reports included upon request -Several references available -No criminal history I was raised among my family's large breed dogs (Newfoundlands, Great Pyrenees, Labradors, Retrievers, and a couple of hounds); Growing up with unconditional love for my furry siblings. As a child, taking any chance I could to help with dog owner/parent responsibilities. Living with and caring for hundreds of dogs over the years, from Toy Fox Terriers to Great Danes, and nearly every breed in-between, I've gained great understanding of the nature and needs of each breed, never forgetting that every dog has their very own special personality. After years of dog walking & pet sitting in California, I moved back to the east coast with the intention of pursuing my other passion & career in music, while continuing to walk and care for dogs in my free time. Stepping out of my NYC office one day for a walk, it became clear to me that I was happiest when outside on the move with my canine companions. I realized that I had even more in common with city dogs than I thought; An energy and need to be active outdoors. Like a dog without a walker, and a walker without a dog, I knew what I had to do, and I was back to dog-walking fulltime. Having lived in the Upper East Side walking dogs for several years, I know the territory, terrain, and dog-friendly parks in the area like the back of my paw. My mission is simple; to give dogs a walking experience that provides their inner wolf with the outdoor exercise necessary for their physical and mental health. So when you get home from work or play, you will find your dog fulfilled and as grateful as ever to see you. Thank you ! William ( Wolfy )
