About CityWags
CityWags is dedicated to disrupting the industry norm of providing the bare minimum, ensuring that only experienced and properly vetted professionals care for your pet while always prioritizing safety, happiness, and comfort. At CityWags, our team is licensed, insured, experienced, and thoroughly vetted. We’re also certified annually in CPR, as well as in oral and injection medical administration. And yes, we all share a major love for dogs and pets of all kinds. We began after a breakup led me to animal therapy, which evolved into a hobby and eventually inspired me to pursue it full time. My passion and love for animals inspired me to start CityWags—a fully licensed, bonded, and insured pet care company offering personalized one-on-one care where your dog is our top priority. Why do we focus solely on individualized one-on-one care? Because time and again, I heard stories of poor experiences at high-volume companies. I wanted every dog to receive 100% devoted attention, whether it’s an hour walk or a three-week sitting or boarding. No dog is distracted by others in need, and no caregiver is juggling multiple commitments that could interfere with keeping your dog happy and tail-wagging. We are proud to be an LGBT+ owned company. We volunteer and support local NYC animal rescue shelters—including Social Tees Animal Rescue and MuddyPaws—and provide free dog walking services to pet owners facing financial difficulties in underserved neighborhoods. Our team is certified in CPR and medication administration, with specialties in areas such as separation anxiety, puppy training, and behavioral management. We provide daily photo and video updates so you’re always connected with your dog. Safety, comfort, and happiness are at the core of our mission. CityWags proudly serves a diverse clientele, including busy professionals, executives, actors, and athletes. We were named Manhattan’s #1 favorite pet care company by Nextdoor in 2023, and I am grateful to all our clients for their trust and support! Sincerely, Adam Merritt Pet Lover and Founder of CityWags
