FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DogsGoWalking’s New Owner Daniel Wohlstein Sought Change of Pace
Purchase of company completed transformation from nightlife and lending impresario to home-based business owner
Miami Beach, FL – October 27, 2015 – This year, new owner Daniel Wohlstein leapt at the chance to spend more time near home in purchasing DogsGoWalking, the largest dog walking and pet sitting service in South Florida. Ownership of a lending business in Peru kept him traveling abroad frequently during the last four years. Founding and running the long-time Miami Beach live music venue Jazid for the better part of two decades had him spending late nights and early mornings on South Beach, managing, promoting and tending to the day-to-day operations of a venue that offers entertainment every night. Now, Wohlstein gets to spend more time at home with his wife Carolina, two children aged three and five, and their Yorkies named Pipi and Harry.
“The best part about this new venture is that I get to be with my kids at all the time,” says Wohlstein. “I love being home and enjoying the simple things in life like going to the park with the kids. I missed out on most of first five years of my oldest while traveling and working in Peru.” A far cry from long flights to South America and long nights on Washington Avenue, DogsGoWalking now allows Daniel the opportunity to provide excellent services to small animal owners and even help out the humane dog-loving community. Five percent of the company’s net proceeds are now being donated to theBig Dog Ranch Rescue.
Born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela, Daniel’s undergrad studies led to bachelor’s degree in accounting from the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello in Caracas. Then after emigrating to the U.S. in 1993, he earned an M.B.A. from the University of Miami. A tennis enthusiast, he now lists cooking as his primary hobby. Does walking his toy dogs qualify as a hobby?
During it’s nearly 20 year history, Jazid has helped incubate the careers of countless prominent Miami music acts (Spam Allstars, Suenalo, Locos Por Juana, Xperimento, Electric Piquete and more), has been featured in numerous local and regional publications and garnered many awards, including the Miami New Times’ “Best Reggae Night” (2007) and “Best Small Music Venue” (2013). Of all the wonderful musical moments during the last two decades, none is sweeter than the one when Daniel met Carolina there one night back in February of 2009.
Since 2004, DogsGoWalking has helped thousands of South Floridians give their pets the loving care their animals need while they are away or travelling. Apart from continuing to expand DogsGoWalking’s services throughout the South East, the previously nomadic Wohlstein expects to be at his brand-new Wellington home in five years.
And that suits the stay-at-home, full-time family man Wohlsten just fine.
