Hi! My name is Karen. I am a huge dog lover, I've never met a dog I didn't love, and make instant friends with the pups I meet. I have had dogs my whole life, including now. I have a rat terrier as well as a super hyper chi-weenie that I rescued from running in traffic. While my dogs are small, I also foster dogs and most of the ones that come to me while awaiting a forever home are pit bulls or other misunderstood pooches. I love them all. I know how much you love your dog, and I will treat them like I would my own. I cant wait to meet your pup!

Hi, I'm Jackie and I've been a dog lover since birth...seriously, recently unearthed home movies show my parents teaching me to say "dog sit" at 9-months-old. In addition to Wag, I own my own dog training business. I own three dogs: an American Pit Bull Terrier named Kid, a poodle/terrier mix named Charlie and a working-line German Shepherd named Grady. I look forward to meeting your pets and giving them the same care and love I give to my own dogs on walks.

“The best care for your best friend”
I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember and my dream is to work with them as a living. I am currently taking classes with Catch Canine Trainers Academy to become a dog trainer and I volunteer weekly at St Hubert's to walk dogs. I would love to walk your dog, take them on hikes, play fetch with them, or just chill if that's what they prefer.

Dog Walking in Rockaway
A center for iron manufacturing during the Revolutionary Period, Rockaway is now a modern New Jersey borough with a strong sense of history. About an hour's drive from New York City, Rockaway is home to two animal hospitals to keep your best friend in tiptop shape.
Make sure your pooch stays happy and healthy by taking him for daily walkies! The Jackson Avenue River Park is a furrific place to do just that. With the Rockaway River flowing through this quiet park, you and Fido will be treated to beautiful views of the water as you take a leashed stroll around the area. Benches and picnic tables provide several spots to relax and eat, so do pack some food and treats.
The adjacent Donatoni Community Park is another good spot for Fido to stretch his legs. Doggos are welcome on the walkways as long as they are leashed and cleaned up after. The park houses a playground and athletic fields, but these are off-limits to four-legged visitors.
If all that walking has made you and your pooch hungry, head over to Missy's Main Street Cafe to grab some food. This eatery is very pup-friendly, with outdoor tables and even a menu especially for dogs!
Visit the Borough of Rockaway for a pawsome time with Fido!
