This is ridiculous.

This is all about tax revenue and rightly so. Dog walking/ pet sitting is a large business in NYC.

Lol

WHat is going to be outlawed is running a KENNEL in a provate home without a license. Dog-walkers need not worry.

Don't know why the city is suddenly waking up to this; in apartment dog sitting or whatever you want to call it has been going on for years. Know someone who has been doing it for > twenty.

Well, NYC/NYS "woke up" to nail salon businesses and employees after years of being ignored. Now nail salon workers need to take a couse and be licensed.

Still waiting for the city to catch up with the "icy" men and women with their homemade "icy" carts.

Anyone who has spent time in his apartment listening to never-ending BARKING next door understands this new regulation.
