KNOW MORE YOUR PET IS OUR HIGHEST PRIORITY
Welcome to Wags West, the Upper West Side's favorite dog walking and cat sitting company. Locally-based and family-owned, we're long-time pet owners inspired by our sincere love of dogs and cats. Since 2010, we've been committed to providing safe, reliable, and expert dog walking and cat sitting services to our local communities of the Upper West Side, including Lincoln Center, Waterline Square, Riverside Blvd, and Morningside Heights.
Our Story
Our journey began with Boudreaux, a spirited, very smart, and lovably high-maintenance Australian Cattle Dog mix. As lifelong animal lovers, we were inspired to open Wags West after adopting Boo. Since Boo didn't arrive with his own owner's manual, it was up to us to discover - through long walks and positive training techniques - that Boo could learn anything. We learned our one great truth: A Tired Dog Is A Happy Dog!
