Dog Walking Cat Visits in Upper West Side New York

ABOUT WAGS WEST

When Marixa and Michael opened Wags West back in 2010, it was all because of Boudreaux. Lifelong animal lovers, we were inspired to open Wags West after adopting our boy Boudreaux, (aka Boo) a spirited, very smart and lovably high-maintenance Australian Cattle Dog mix. 

Since Boo did not arrive with his own owners' manual, it was up to us to discover--through long walks and positive training techniques (courtesy of great local trainers that soon became resources and friends) --that Boo could learn anything. And we learned our one great truth---A Tired Dog Is A Happy Dog!

 

Now, ten years later, we manage a talented team of fellow animal lovers. Because hiring exactly the right people is such an essential part of pet care, all staff candidates are interviewed twice, thoroughly vetted through professional references and a security background check, then given complete field training in positive reinforcement dog walking. And that's when we know they are ready to be your dog's next best friend.
