Jennifer
Marter is the
co-owner/operator of Mobile Mutts Dog Walking.
She is a trained dog handler and a long time dog
owner and lover.
After
serving in the Army for three years as a Watercraft
Engineer, Jennifer decided to return to New York
to earn her degree in Museum Studies at NYU. After
graduating she went to work in a small museum
in NYC but quickly realized that a desk job just
wasn't for her. Jennifer then set out to discover
her true calling. She had no idea that taking
a part time position at Monster Mutt Doggie Daycare
was going to turn into a career as a dog walker
but shortly after working with the dogs at Monster
Mutt, she knew that was what she wanted to do.
She lives in Brooklyn with her husband and dog
walking partner, Keith, her 12-year-old daughter
Ema, their dogs Bowie and Cash and their three
cats Irma, Pickles and Squirrel.

James Brooke grew up in Huntington on Long Island and now lives in Brooklyn. He received an Associates Degree in Liberal Arts and is working on a degree in Business Management. After working in the real estate business for a number of years he is really excited to be walking dogs (which he loves) and for the opportunity to help Jen (who happens to be his sister) run Mobile Mutts. He says she's the best boss in the world, but only because he has too.
As a person who has had animals his entire life and who enjoys their company he finds walking dogs and making their days more fun a really fulfilling experience. He currently has an Alaskan Malamute named Aurora.

A
Michigan native and most recently a resident of

in fiction from the New School. Most of his time
is spent in the office organizing things though he occasionally gets a break to fill
in as a dog walker.
Outside the office he dedicates himself to the
completion of his first novel, increasing his
music collection, and finding an apartment big
enough to have a dog or a dog small enough to
fit in his current apartment. He enjoys reading (natch),
the color green, lunar science, breathing patterns
of pugs, Sir David Attenborough, and drinking
coffee. |

Mariah
Elliott is from Seattle where
she was a bored and uninspired secretary with
a languishing degree in fashion design. Now residing
in Williamsburg, she plans to start her own mini
clothing line and hopes to perfect her patternmaking
and tailoring skills while pursuing a bachelor’s
degree at FIT. As part of an overall lifestyle
change, she has happily abandoned her once full-time
relationship with a computer screen to wander
the streets of Brooklyn with the superior companionship
of happy pups.
Mariah’s favorite
pastimes include knitting while listening to news
podcasts, obsessively reading political magazines,
frivolously collecting books to add to her collection
of books she’s yet to read, reading with
the hope of becoming more well-read, coming up
with new justifications to convince herself that
fashion is not a meaningless pursuit, people-watching
for design inspiration, and indulging in international
fashion blogs.

Ruth Synowiec lives in Williamsburg with her big tiger cat Nico (among other roomates and kitties). Originally from Detroit, Michigan, Ruth grew up with dogs, cats, fish, mice, ferrets...and an unconditional love for all things fuzzy and cute.
After earning her degree in Photography, she stuck around Detroit for a few years, but eventually found herself in Brooklyn to be closer to the heartbeat of the art world. Like many of the others on the Mobile Mutts team, she decided to trade in her computer chair for a pair of sneakers and a bag of doggie treats, and the transition has been so rewarding!
When she isn't walking dogs or cuddling with her cat, Ruth enjoys taking photos, exploring the U.S, listening to records, and enjoying sunshine and summertime. |
Nick Manske grew up on 45 acres of land, in the boondocks outside of Austin, Texas. Saddling horses, chasing pigs, gathering chicken eggs, wrestling calves, and running from goats all provided him with the tools he would need for the adventuresome job of dog-walking.
Nick is an illustrator living in Williamsburg. When not working on his
drawings or dog walking, he can be found around the city with his friends or out listening to live music. Nick doesn't have a dog of his own
because his landlord doesn't allow it, but he has owned two yellow labs in
the past. One of them was a female registered under the name Yellow (Axl) Rose, and the other won second place in her obedience school class! GOOD GIRLS!
