Riverside is a modestly sized city with some lively energy, located in Platte County, Missouri. Just as the name suggests, this puptown boasts a beautiful location on the edge of the Missouri River. If you are bringing your pooch with you to visit Riverside, there is one animal hospital in the city. But, you will find plenty of other places for emergency care not far away in Kansas City.
For a pawsome day out with your furry companion, head over to the Renner Brenner Park. This community park has plenty of green grass for your pup to enjoy, as well as a playground and skateboard park for the kids. This park also connects to the Line Creek Trail, which is a puptastic place to take your pooch to stretch their legs and enjoy some exercise. This trail is beautiful and makes a great retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life in Riverside. There are over eight miles of sniff-tastic trails to explore, which goes through wooded areas and takes you some real pawsome places, such as past a small waterfall. Be sure to pack some water and treats for you and your panting pup, as it can get quite hilly!
Known as a local gem, the EH Young Riverfront Park is a beautiful spot for taking a relaxing stroll with your pup! While this is often where events are held in Riverside, there is also plenty of green grass where your furry friend will love to investigate, roll and run. All pups can be top dog here, as long as they remain on leash. Don’t forget to take in the views of the Missouri river while you are here! If you need a place to stay in Riverside with your pooch, check out the Super 8. Here you can bring two dogs weighing less than 25 Ibs for a small additional fee.

Here you can let your pup roam freely off leash in this safe and green area specially for pooches. There are separate areas for small and larger dogs, with the opportunity to socialize and make new furry friends. In addition, there is also a sniff-tastic five mile trail around the Platte Landing Park that surrounds the dog park where you can exercise with your dog on leash.
To check out some dog friendly eateries near Riverside, head north for 3.5 miles to Kansas City. The Hills of Walden neighborhood has some pawsome places to dine, such as SPIN! Neapolitan Pizza.

Hi, I'm Krista! I've grown up in the North Kansas City area with two beautiful labs. Since I can remember I've always had a strong connection with dogs. I currently own a stunning 3 year old Great Pyrenees and 3 month old Great Pyrenees mix, named Sugar and Spice. They are my world, taking care of them is my passion and keeping them healthy inside & out is my goal! Recently I picked up a hobby in pet nutrition and work part-time at a Natural Pet Store. I have plenty of experience with walking my 80 lb. and 25 lb. babies, so I can handle walking in multiples. I look forward to meeting your fur babies when they get their daily exercise!
"Anya was amazing. The boys warmed up to her quickly and were so happy when they came home. She let us know that the boys went both 1 and 2. Let us know how they acted and was so friendly. Highly recommended "
"Krista was very sweet and easy to work with. Buddy was always her top priority. "
