Monrovia, California, is a famous location. The city, nested on the San Gabriel foothills, is a popular location for TV and movie studios. Millions of people in the world see Monrovia every day without knowing so. Monrovia is, however, also popular with dog owners as there are many beautiful parks to walk the dogs.
There is no off-leash dog park in Monrovia, but there are several next door. The closest off-dog opportunity is found in Arcadia, the Arcadia Dog Park. This small dog park is divided into a section for small dogs and a section for larger dogs and offers benches to sit on. This dog park is rather basic but gets the job done.
Another choice is the Sierra Madre Dog Park, which is also a close distance from Monrovia. It is slightly bigger and more advanced than the Arcadia Dog Park and has lots of large trees, a water dish and some patches of grass.
The Pasadena off-leash dog park is a bit further away from Monrovia, California, and is considered by the locals in Monrovia as the best dog park in the neighborhood for those that do not mind a longer drive. The park is very well-maintained and has everything you would expect from a great off-leash dog park.

Take a 10 mile car trip from Monrovia to Altadena so that you can visit Echo Mountain and the Mount Lowe Railroad Trail. This is a scenic trail that leads you through the Rails to Trails systems and up through the mountain. Be aware that there are parts of this system that is very steep. You will find meadows and picnic areas throughout the area. It is a great way to spend a day in nature with your canine companion. Just remember to bring a leash and a couple of water bottles because there is nothing but nature and fresh air for several miles.

If you are looking for a moderate to intense trail to enjoy nature with your fur family, then take a ten-minute car ride to Mt Wilson Trail. This trail is a three-mile hike through nature and a quaint village and ends a freshwater stream. You will want to bring plenty of water to last you to the end. Leashes are a must because of the risk of rattlesnakes and other wildlife. Fido will love all the new smells and animals to bark at, and you’ll enjoy the fresh air and “bark”taking views.

It in the heart of Glendale, which is just a 17-mile trip from Monrovia, is a nice little getaway. Griffith Park Dog Park is nothing too fancy, but it is just what you need to get out of the house and enjoy some off-leash freedom. You will find two large, fenced areas for your puptastic pal to play in. You can watch Fido make friends and play to his heart’s content in the shady beach area. Of course, there are water fountains set up so that you and your best pal can have a drink. The best part is the simplicity of just being able to run free for a bit.

There is a hidden gem that lies just 22 miles from Monrovia in historic Arroyo Seco Park. Arroyo Seco Park is in North Eastern La and it holds Hermon Dog Park. When you first get to the park, Fido will need to stay on his leash until you get past the mini human area. Then you will find two large, fenced in areas just for your furry friend to get off his leash and enjoy a good run. With shaded areas, water stations, and benches for you to rest, this is a great place for everyone to run, play, or even just sit and relax the day away.

Just under ten miles from Monrovia you will find Alice’s Dog Park in Pasadena. This park claims to be an herbicide-free, grassy area for dogs to run and play. There are two fenced-in areas for dogs of different sizes. Each side has its very own watering stations. The large part is triple gated to ensure the safety of all the dogs visiting. There is a little over 2 acres in all for your canine companion to explore. Meanwhile, you can relax on the benches or play fetch with your best pal. Cleaning stations are set up to encourage a clean environment for everyone.
I'm beyond an dog lover. I have over 15 years of experience working with families and their dogs. I not only understand the relationship of pet and owner, I have deep understanding of the needs of your dogs from love, to well being and structure. My clients feel like I am a great playmate for your pups and advocate for their older dogs. My passion is to serve the voiceless with all I have to offer.
I absolutely love dogs and have grown up with them my whole life. I currently have 2 myself, a 14 year old corgi/golden and a 3 year old pibble mix. They are my life and I treat them like my kids. I am familiar with dog behavior and most breeds. Having a dog for 14 years can teach you quite a bit.
"Emily did an amazing job! Bodhi doesn't usually warm up to people very quickly, but he was ready to go in just a couple minutes. Emily was very gentle and in tune with him. Clearly knew what she was doing. "
"Wow! Fantastic! Emily went above and beyond by giving Lily so much time to warm up and doing a special walk just for her. I'm blown away. "
"Marilyn is an excellent walker; she handled a situation with a running loose, large dog very well, and kept my dog safe, scooping him up out of danger. All part of the reason Charlie adores her."
"Thank-you so very, very much for keeping my furry boy safe! It is no wonder he loves you so much and is always so delighted when he sees you; he clearly thinks you are the best!"
"It was my first time using a dog-walking service, so I was pretty nervous at first but Emily was incredibly patient with Beau. I loved how thorough her report card was. Thank you, Emily! "
"Too true Marilyn, you have it right, as long as you are running Charlie is ok with big dogs! Thanks so much for another great jog for my furry boy."
"Thanks so much Marilyn for taking Charlie on such a really fabulous run! He had a huge smile on his face when you brought him home!"
"Danny is so great with my dog! He's punctual, very personable, and cares deeply for animals. He kept me updated with awesome videos of my pup running and I could tell they were really enjoying their time. I would recommend him to anyone and trust him with my furbaby completely. 10/10 will be prioritizing him for future walks!"
"Great personality and I can tell she loves her job and dogs ...Tobie loved her and look forward to next time "
"Cassandra has a lot of patient with my dog. Mocha likes her a lot. Thanks for taking care of him. "
