Hi, I'm Ryan! I grew up in Upstate NY with 5 Airedale Terriers and I'm currently living in Windsor Terrace, Brooklyn with my beautiful and active Wheaten Terrier "Jeter". While growing up I learned how to take care of our family full of Airedales by walking then 3 times a day and feeding them twice a day. Jeter has been a delight training since I bought her this past February. I Have experience with all size dogs, ages and health. Meeting new dogs and getting to know what there needs is key in making the dog and the owners happy. I will treat your dog with the same love and happiness that you would and will make this a very exciting and positive Wag! experience and future for all of us!

Hi, I'm Oscar and I'm a fellow dog lover. I live in Brooklyn, by Carroll Gardens. I have a dog with my girlfriend,Charles Chewman III aka Chewy, who I constantly walk and play with, but looking to broaden my horizons and walk yours too. I'm in good physical health, so I could even run your dog(s), if necessary. I've been around dogs my whole life. Big, medium, and small size dogs. In fact, my first dog, Charlie, was a huge Syberian husky/German shepperd mix. My current one, Chewy, is a tiny Maltese/Shitzu. Not to mention, I even hang with my sister's dog Stella from time to time.Looking forward to going on fun walks with your dog and taking care of him/her when you need me to. And I promise to take care of them as if they were my own.

I have been walking dogs for over 4 years now. I always make your dogs safety a priority, along with their comfort, emotional and physical well being. I love giving the best walk I can according to your dogs fitness level, I can even take your dog on a jog (weather permitting) or just a leisurely stroll. I always give extra time to settle them back home with refreshed water, treats or meals, practice a few commands, hugs, playtime and babytalk! l look forward to meeting your dog!

“Your friendly neighborhood dog walker”
I started pet sitting when I was in high school. Several of my friends had dogs that I would care for while they were away. To make extra money in college I began to walk and then board a local Shiba Inu; a gig I kept until I started working full time. I have always loved animals, but was unable to have any as a child because of allergies some of my family members have. Now my wife and I currently have two dogs (a beagle and a havanese/poodle mix), three cats, two rabbits, and a conure.

Dog Walking in Keyport
Located along the Raritan Bay, Keyport is packed with natural beauty, making this a great spot for outdoor activities. With both peaceful sandy beaches and spacious grassy parks, there are endless opportunities for pawsome dog walks in Keyport.
When it comes to the different parks in Keyport, the Cliffwood Beach Waterfront Park and Beach is definitely the highlight. There are a few different sports facilities here, as well as open green spaces, beach access, and a paved walking path. To make the most of the actual beach, time your visit for low tide, as this gives you an extra 100 feet or so in width to explore.
There are a couple of other parks in Keyport that are always fun to visit with a dog. Overlook Park is quite small but tranquil, making it pawfect for a relaxing stroll, while Ross Field is a multi-purpose field with a paved path and a few benches circling it. Dogs are welcome in all of Keyport's parks, but a lead and doggie bags are essential, as is some drinking water for the both of you.
