Hi Everyone!
I moved back to NYC from Dog Friendly San Francisco less than a year ago. After having a baby I finally succumbed to a dog walker to make sure my favorite little guy gets the proper exercise he enjoys and deserves. I was shocked to see so many lethargic looking dog walkers at the local dog park, chatting while the pooches just sat on the dirty slab of concrete. I was appalled to see dog walkers standing on my local corner chatting on their cell phones while the 5 dogs they had on leash just sat there patiently, waiting for their 'walk'. I was so lucky to find my dog walker - a wonderful guy who truly LOVES dogs - he has a tattoo of his dog on his arm! I have seen him when he hasn't seen me, marching along at a fast pace with dogs who clearly adore him. He never has more than 3 at a time. I suddenly remembered the blog 'I saw your nanny' when I saw a miserable snail paced dog walker today and thought - people might want to know if their dog walker is not providing their pet with the attention they need!!!
NOTE - THIS BLOG IS NOT FOR PET OWNERS WHO SIMPLY NEED SOMEONE TO TAKE THEIR DOG OUT TO PEE/POOP. THIS IS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO MAKE SURE THEIR DOG IS GETTING THE EXERCISE AND LOVE THEY DESERVE.

Doggies can't come home and tell us 'mom, we only walked around the block for 20 minutes and there were too many of us!!' So lets use this in a positive way!
