TruWalks began with a simple dream: to offer exceptional care for every dog, regardless of breed or size. What started as a passion project has blossomed into NYC's leading pet care provider, delivering reliable dog walking, sitting, boarding, and training services.
For us, it's more than just a job; it's a calling. Witnessing the joy of wagging tails and forging lasting bonds with our canine companions fuels our dedication. We also saw a need in the industry. Many pet care services fell short, lacking the attention to detail and personalized care that dogs deserve.
TruWalks was born to fill that gap. We envisioned a haven where dogs could thrive, receiving not just love and affection, but also expert training and guidance. We hand-pick a team of passionate, highly-trained dog walkers, committed to exceeding expectations and prioritizing each dog's unique needs.
We believe in the power of community to enrich lives, both furry and human.
Your dog's safety and well-being are our unwavering commitment.
Rely on us as your steadfast allies, ensuring a joyful and thriving life for your beloved furry companion.
We invest in training, safety protocols, and ongoing evaluations to ensure the highest quality possible.
