Hi, I’m Adam Merritt, founder of CityWags!
Thanks for stopping by!
How did an ex-banker go from working on a trading floor to rolling around, training, walking and caring for dogs? Well it took over a decade of working in corporate, a breakup, a lot of therapy if I’m being honest. But most of all understanding that I could take my deep long running passion and love caring for dogs and make it my full time job and business.
After years of seeing first hand, hearing from clients, friends and strangers about the subpar level of standards in todays pet care industry. Let alone reading almost daily stories on people claiming to be petcare “professionals“ and the horrifying outcome.
With all that said I have made it a mission for myself, CityWags and others to follow suit in holding pet care providers to the highest caliber of standards, disrupt and change the industries norm of providing bare minimum, not allowing inexperienced or properly vetted “professionals” to careand most importantly always having safety, happiness and comfort be our top priority for your fur baby.
CityWags has a team of licensed and insured experienced, thoroughly vetted, trained, certified annually in CPR, oral and injection medical administration. Oh yea we all have a major love for dogs and pets of all kin.
if you’ve gotten this far here is a little more in depth of what turned from therapy to a domestic and international serving petcare provided.
CityWags started after a breakup led me to animal therapy, which then grew into a hobby and after a few years I took the leap, left corporate and made it my full-time business.
My passion and love for animals inspired me to start CityWags. A fully licensed, bonded, and insured pet care company offering personalized 1:1 care where your dog is our top priority.
Why are we solely an individualized 1:1 dog and pet care company? Because time after time of listening to clients stories and poor experiences at volume size companies. I wanted each and every dog cared for to receive our 100% sole and devoted attention. Whether it be an hour walk or a 3 week sitting or boarding. No one is distracted by other dogs that need attention, no one during your dates of service booked is working a 2nd job or have multiple commitments that would interfere with keeping your dog happy and tail wagging.
We are proud to be a LGBT+ owned company. Volunteer and support local NYC animal rescue shelters including Social Tees Animal Rescue and MuddyPaws! As well as, provide free dog walking services to dog owners who are having financial difficulty and living in underserved neighborhoods where they’re unable to receive or find the help for their beloved 4 legged friend.
Our team is certified in CPR and medication administration and specializes in areas like separation anxiety, puppy training, and behavioral management. We provide daily photo and video updates keeping you constantly 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
