ODOU HAZEL
CO-FOUNDER
Hello to all my fellow dog owners and lovers!
My name is Odou Hazel, a former collegiate all-American Track and Field athlete. I graduated from Claflin University in 2018 with a degree in Business Management.
My love for dogs started when I came to New York City in 2012. I met a well-known dog walker whose name is Olive Lewis. My brother, Jemaell, worked alongside Olive and together, they introduced me to the pros and cons of dog walking. In the summer that I worked with them, my perspective about dogs changed immensely.
The way they were treated and cared for was unbelievable and witnessing that had a very big impact in my life. So much so that it motivated me to begin a dog walking company with my brother, Jemaell, which has now resulted in Great Woof NYC Dog Walking here in the big Apple!
