Julia was AMAZING! My dog is usually slow to warm up and takes convincing when someone new tries to take him out but Julia s energy made him feel safe and comfortable! They had a great walk (great photos and videos), she was prompt, communicative and so loving with Tucker. Absolutely will book again! Thanks Julia!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Roxbury

South Boston

If you’re looking to have a fun time with your dog while letting him enjoy some time off his leash, head to the appropriately South Boston Dog Park, located in – you guessed it – South Boston! This spacious park has tunnels so your dog can have some serious fun exploring. There’s plenty of seating for dog moms and dads. Water and waste disposal bags aren’t provided, so you’ll want to be sure to bring along your own. Your dog must be licensed to use this park; locals say this rule is strictly enforced. There are also a couple of dog-friendly restaurants in the neighborhood.

Back Bay

Every dog owner knows that socialization is the key to raising a well-behaved dog, and if you’re looking for a chance to brush up on that, head to Boston’s Back Bay neighborhood! This popular section of the city has several dog-friendly stores, including Lush, Apple, and Lucky Brand. There are also a few different options to choose from when you’re ready to eat. The best part? Your dog can then have some off-leash fun at Carleton Court Dog Park. Make sure to bring along waste disposal bags and water. Enjoy a pawesome day out with your four-legged friend!

Griggs Park

The nearby Griggs Park, located in Brookline, is only about three miles away from Roxbury, and it’s certainly worth the trip. Although it isn’t technically a dog park, Griggs Park does allow for your dog to have some fun off his leash from dawn until one o’clock in the afternoon. This means that your dog will have plenty of room to run around and get in his daily exercise! Because this isn’t a dog park, though, you’ll definitely want to bring your own water and waste disposal bags. Griggs Park also attracts many different kinds of people, including children, so make sure your dog is friendly to everyone!

Allston

Boston’s Allston neighborhood, located about twenty minutes from Roxbury, is home to Mansfield Street Dog Park. Locals claim that although this dog park is on the smaller side, there’s still plenty of room for your pooch to run around and play a nice game of tag with other dogs, or fetch with you! Knowing that rain is frequent, it was decided that this dog park would use pebbles instead of grass, so if you and your furry friend aren’t afraid of a little bit of water, don’t let a rainy day keep you from playing!

Cambridgeport

Less than five miles from Roxbury is Cambridge’s Cambridgeport neighborhood, and if the beautiful location isn’t enough to draw you there, maybe Pacific Street Dog Park will do the trick! This fenced-in dog park allows your dog to have some fun off his leash. Bring along Fido’s favorite toy, but make sure he’s willing to share it with his new canine friends. Locals warn that Pacific Street Dog Park does tend to flood when it rains, so keep that in mind before you go. You’ll want to bring along your own water and waste disposal bags.
