Amanda Szymczak
Originally from Santa Ynez, CA, Amanda came to New York back in 2010 after completing her B.A. to pursue a career in theatre. Though she’s appeared in several TV shows and movies, she loves live theatre and moved to just the right city to pursue a career in it! When she’s not at rehearsal, walking dogs, and managing at Union Square Dog Walker, you can find Amanda bargain-hunting at Goodwill, knitting, or exploring her new neighborhood, Park Slope, in Brooklyn.

Celia
Born and raised in New York City, Celia has always loved dogs and has moved that passion over to dog walking. She loves being part of the Union Square Dog Walker team because it never feels like work for her, but is instead something she enjoys doing. When she isn’t working, Celia is often found venturing all over the city on her bike, exploring new restaurants, or developing her own film.

Chris
Originally from a small town in the midwest, Chris moved to NYC in 2007 to go to the New York Film Academy. When Chris isn’t dog walking, you can find him taking advantage of his creative side, whether it involves writing, reading, or watching old classic movies.
