Justin W.	I am originally from the UK and arrived in New York via Hong Kong and Los Angeles because of work. I have been around dogs pretty much since I can remember. My parents always had dogs and cats and other animals. For the last 22 years my wife and I have owned English Bulldogs. Unfortunately our last one just passed at the age of 12, so he went from a 3 year old rescue to having a pretty good life. Still miss him dearly. Outside of dog walking I am a very keen sports fan of both British and American sports. I also am a very big advocate of clean air and support companies that produce air disinfecting machines. Basically I love dogs and having been a bulldog owner, I know nuances when I see them. I just want to make sure that any dog I interact with is happy and respectful.
Shariyf C.	I am Shariyf, a Brooklyn born adventurous spirit living out my purpose and finding joy in the simple pleasures of life. Outside of Dog Walking I am a music artist as well as media personality and I enjoy connecting with other individuals who are highly passionate about things in their life
Heather R.	I grew up with my big sister Lady, a Black Lab, who joined the family just months before I did. When I was in college, our family welcomed a Shepherd mix, rescuing Charlie on Christmas Eve, AFTER his scheduled euthanization (by grace, his paperwork had been misplaced) . About 5 years ago, my Dad adopted a Lab/Pit mix, Skipper. A petite Tabby moved onto the premises, became enamored with Skipper and took up residence as Kitty. A few years later, another pup, Bella (a Jack Russell/Boxer mix), joined the fam. These 3 are our joyful responsibilities when their parents go out of town ;). Growing up, I also had cats, parakeets, fish and a turtle. Charlie rescued a tiny kitten from within a bush, who became my and my husband's cat for almost 13 sweet years. Four years later, we're still missing Simba :(. I'm a Wife and Mother to 2. I hold a BFA in Graphic Design. Went back to school to become an Occupational Therapist Assistant, then found out I was pregnant with our first. Care-taking is in my genes- my parents were in the medical profession, Mom living 50 years with an autoimmune disease. As a child, I proclaimed a future in the Veterinary field. While I didn't pursue this, I continue to hold a deep affection for animals. This has translated into a rewarding "job" for over 2 years!
Samantha B.	I have owned a black lab border collie mix name Bailey and a grey tiger cat named misty for the past 8 years ! I love them both so much ! I am very reliable and flexible and have lots of experience with all different kinds of dogs and cats as well. I just moved to NYC in September but am originally from Massachusetts !
Haden S.	I have two Australian Labradoodle girls named Piper and Olive. They are my absolute best friends! We love to go on walks and play outside. When I am not hanging out with my dogs, I enjoy trips to the beach or staying home to watch a good show or movie.
Jenna C.	I have two dogs named jackson (sheprador, 8) and Kevin (pitbul mix, 6) who I love dearly and are both rescue's, Jackson actually coming all the way from Houston, Texas! I also have two cats named cosita (tortoise shell,2) and canchito (mixed ragdoll, 1) who are very cuddly and also rescues! My favorite color is dark green and pink.
Dominique R.	I like to describe myself as a jack of all trades in the animal industry, you’ve got exotics? I’ve worked with them, I’ve owned, reptiles, fish, chickens, sugar gliders, worked at the Bronx Zoo for 2 years; I currently have a 50g tank full of beetles. You have a senior pet, don’t worry, I worked as an LVT at 2 vet clinics. You have a shelter dog with considerably niche routine and habits, don’t worry, I’ve worked in an animal shelter for 6 years. I can confidently say, I’ve seen it all, from all sides and heard from the richest clients, to the most vulnerable clients, I have empathy for everyone, and treat all pets with the same love and respect as if they were my own. I am a firm believer that animal energy is sacred and should be respected and honored.
Vernon S.	I live in Brooklyn and work full-time in IT support. When I’m not working, I’m usually playing basketball, working on music, or building home networking projects. I like to stay active, and dog walking is a great way for me to get outside.
Angela L.	I live in Manhattan but grew up in Seattle. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and they make my life a little brighter. The unconditional love from them is unmatched. I’ve walked all shapes and sizes from the west coast to the east coast. What I love doing outside of dog walking is real estate. But even in real estate, I have the pleasure of interacting with some of the best furry friends.
Gerald M.	I pride myself in offering a unique experience during each walk and love the time I spend with my dogs during thorough walks that engage by doing occasional simple commands such as sit, heel and down. Dogs have always been a part of my life beginning with with a Shi Tzu growing up. Currently I have two dogs, who are Chow cocker spaniel mixes.
Cheri P.	I recently retired from 40 years as a financial planner. I have a 29 year old son who has high functioning autism and works at Hunters Bagels. We are petless presently...our last Leonberger crossed the bridge about a month ago. First time in 40 years without pets in the house. We are taking our time to make sure we get the right fit. Cat? Dogs? Both? I enjoy painting, beading, photography, and writing. Im working on a book!
Morexi M.	I started out watching my friends' and family's dogs here and there and still do from time to time. I've had my Shiba since 2015 and have really gotten the hang of knowing what it takes to care for a dog. I sometimes help my friends out with their 4 very different pups.
Eduardo S.	I'm a dog owner. Lucy is lab dog, 3 years old. I understand the daily routine of having a dog. I love all dogs, they all deserve love! I jog in the mornings making a weekly habit. I want to go back to school to become a vet.
Jenna O.	I'm a mother of a 1yr old toddler and 3yr old toddler. I own a 7yr old basenji/chow chow mix dog. I'm a certified veterinary assistant. Currently working on my veterinary technician degree. I was an intern about 13yrs ago at Miami Dade Animal Services while I studied Agriscience in high school. I was fortunate to participate in their Agriscience program where I was given the opportunity to work with livestock animals such as cows, lambs steers, calves, pigs, etc. and be part of FFA. At MDAS I assisted with cleaning kennels, scooping up poop waste, filling the dogs/cats bowls with food and water, doing laundry, taking dogs for walks or to the play yard area, assisting people with interactions of the dog or cat they'd like to adopt/adoption process itself, bathing the animals, etc. I've also done petsitting/boarding in the past through care.com and sittercity.com. I've had wonderful experiences and built a special bond with all the dogs and cats I've cared for. Majority of the dogs I've owned have either been rescues from the shelter or street strays. Overall, I have a profound love for all animals.
Ellen S.	I'm a retired higher education professional who finally has the time to pursue my first love: animals! I've had an array of pets through the years and there's not much that makes me happier than a puppy's look of pure joy as he's leashed up for a walk, or the contentment of a kitty who's decided he can trust you to provide the perfect ear rub! When not caring for pets, I enjoy traveling, spending time with my three grandchildren, and working as a background actor for film and TV productions.
Heidi K.	I'm Heidi and I have a shy dachshund and a couple of ginger tabby cats. I'm an occupational therapist with CMS and I love to read. I've been in Charlotte for 17 years. I love the Queen City!
Isabel M.	I'm your crazy animal enthusiast girl. I love all kinds of animals from small to big and all shapes & sizes. Me and your pet will be the best of friends. I have alot of experience with different breeds of animals. Can't wait to start this journey with you!
Merly A.	I've been a dog walker for 10 years so I definitely know how to handle dogs as well as understand their behavior.

It'd be a great honor to care for your pet and I'll definitely make sure that it is happy under my care.

Shari S.	I've been a life-long dog lover, taking care of pets that belonged to my family as well as others. I'm also a professional dog trainer, so I know a lot about dog-handling skills, a pup's communication/body language and the importance of your pet's structured routines. I know your fur baby is your family and will take care of them just like you would.
