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.

Laura

About four years ago, Laura moved to New York for a new beginning and for love.  Her time in New York has been an incredible journey thus far, and part of that journey has involved her experiences with Union Square Dog Walker.  When Laura isn’t working, she’s out and about exploring the city, writing, or taking photos.  You can check out Laura’s Dogs of New York Facebook page, in which she chronicles the life of a New York City dog walker through pictures.
