Hi All! My name is Bri and I am a huge dog lover as I have grown up with our family Dauschund named Parlo. I have experience working in a dog grooming company called “Groomingdales” where I learned how to wash and groom the dogs that came through. I am a pretty popular dog sitter for my friends or neighbors while they are away for a weekend. I am reliable and like to be efficient with tasks that are important to me. There is no doubt I will give lots of love and affection to your dog while we’re out on a walk! I live a very active lifestyle as well, therefore I am willing to walk or run as far as your dog needs to acquire their daily recommended exercise!

“I will enjoy walking your dog!”
I am a grandfather and long-time pet owner that would love to walk your dog! I need the exercise and so does your dog! I have been walking dogs for years and really enjoy being out with them . . even in the rain and snow. I am large enough to handle even the largest of breeds while being gentle enough for the tiny ones too! Dogs love me . . . even dogs that hate most folks like being around me! I would rather walk with dogs than most people! I am calm and gentle with dogs. Harness required!

“5 years experience”
My love of dogs started as a child when I had a German Shepherd as a pet. I started dog walking in NYC in October of 2015. Some of the dogs I've loved walking were Corgis, Toy Yorkies and Australian Shepherds. It's important to me on each walk we have a fun and safe time. I have experience walking all types of breeds, sizes and ages.
