Elise D. Pet Care Provider in New York, NY 10065

Elise Dandrew, founder of Best Friends Dog Walking, grew up in rural Upstate NY, surrounded by trees, mountains, and nature. At the age of 16, Elise had the privilege of working on a biodynamic farm in the Hudson Valley where she tended to horses, cows, pigs, chickens and learned about the care and maintenance of animals and agriculture. After moving to the city, Elise found a passion for dance and attended many prestigious dance schools and traveled internationally. In 2010, Elise graduated and earned a BFA in dance from Purchase College and rapidly found a dog walking company in Brooklyn to take her on as a full time employee. It was there that she finally understood what she had to do in life. Being around animals and dogs, especially, put meaning and passion in to her life. Soon enough, Elise moved back to Manhattan and worked for two more dog walking companies and finally made the break to launch her own company in 2013. Elise continues to utilize her extensive experience in dog walking and applies all of her skills and passion to a business that she hopes can reflect her deep love for animals and the necessary commitment to the life of a city dog.
