Hi I’m Adam Merritt, Founder & CEO of CityWags.
CityWags was founded with a simple belief: exceptional pet care should never be difficult to find.
After years of hearing dog owners share disappointing experiences with rushed walks, inconsistent care and poor communication. I set out to create a company built around a higher standard. One centered on trust, safety, professionalism and genuine compassion for animals.
Today, CityWags provides personalized one-on-one dog walking, pet sitting, boarding, training support and concierge pet care throughout Manhattan and NYC. Every member of our team is thoroughly vetted, certified in pet CPR and medication administration and committed to delivering the level of care we would expect for our own dogs.
Unlike high-volume pet care companies, we focus on individualized attention. Whether it’s a daily walk, overnight sitting or an extended stay. Your dog receives dedicated care tailored to their unique needs, routine and personality.
We are proud to be a licensed, bonded and insured company trusted by professionals, families, frequent traveler and public figures throughout New York City.
CityWags has been recognized as Manhattan’s Favorite Pet Care Company by Nextdoor and Founder & CEO Adam Merritt has been featured on multiple occasions by Live with Kelly and Mark.
At CityWags, our mission is simple: to provide the kind of care that gives pet parents complete peace of mind while keeping tails wagging every step of the way.
Thank you for considering CityWags.
