About us

Our story

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.
