Taylor is the best. On time and even the super shy doggy loves him.

Gerri B.

Hi. Thanks for the heads up. BB is getting over a UTI. She has always peed more than normal though. I adopted her a little over a yr ago & she had a bad UTI. Took her back to the vet thinking she had a UTI. Nope. Just behavioral. She even kicks up dirt like a boy after peeing.

Andrea G.

Thank you for helping me. I had a change in doggy care and Wagers really helped out this weekend.

Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby. She seemed so happy when I got home and I appreciate you walking her an entire mile!! She is a very high energy dog and loves her walks and playing fetch.

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Saint Matthews

Kresge Way/Browns Ln

In the heart of St. Matthews, you and Fido can visit Brown Park! While this isn’t a dog park, it’s still worthy of a visit from you and your canine companion. This park has a paved walkway running throughout it, so you and Fido can enjoy a long walk together. There’s plenty of shade, so during the summer, your pup’s paws won’t get burned by the pavement. In autumn, the leaves turn to beautiful shades of red, orange, and yellow, so if you’re going for a walk, make sure you snap some pictures. A leash is required since this isn’t a dog park.

Cherokee Seneca

Wanting to take your dog to a fun dog park? Head over to Cochran Hill Dog Run, which is about four miles outside of St. Matthews. This dog park spans two acres of land, giving your pup the chance to enjoy some off-leash exercise. The park is also divided into two sections, with one for smaller dogs and another for larger dogs. Waste disposal bags are provided for you to use, and there’s water placed for your pup, which is especially helpful on hot days. This is a privately-run dog park, and you’ll need a permit to use the park. Applicants can find more details online.

Are you torn between going out to eat and leaving your dog alone at home again? Look no further than Louisville’s Clifton neighborhood, which is about 10 minutes west of St. Matthews. This neighborhood has several dog-friendly restaurants. Varanese is an upscale restaurant that serves American-style fare. If your dashing dog wants to come with you, the patio has dog-friendly seating. Looking for something more laid-back? Check out Ramiro’s Cantina or Irish Rover! A leash is required at all establishments, and it's a good idea to bring your pup's food and water dish, too. You’ll no longer have to feel guilty for leaving your furry friend at home!

Just over five miles from St. Matthews, you and Fido can go play together at Champions Dog Run! Whether your dog has a gold medal in napping or a blue ribbon in playing fetch, he’s sure to love this bark park. Champions Dog Run is nearly four acres, meaning your dog has plenty of room to run and play with his pawesome friends. You will need a permit from Louisville to use this dog run, which is standard at most dog parks in the city. Water is provided for both you and your dog, but the park tends to run out of baggies for clean-up, so you might want to bring some along from home.
