Von Marie met Beans, for the first time and it honestly couldn t have gone more perfectly. From the moment she walked in, Von Marie was so warm, calm, and SUPER excited to meet him. Beans can be a little shy at first, but she was patient, gentle, and gave him the time he needed to feel comfortable. Within minutes, he was completely at ease with her. It was so sweet to see. She sent thoughtful updates and adorable photos of their adventure together! We re so grateful to have found Von Marie and will absolutely be booking with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone who wants their pup treated like family

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Hempstead

Middle Neck Road

Port Washington is about fifteen miles from Hempstead, and is home to a furrific place to enjoy an outdoor excursion: Sand Point Preserve. Bring your leash and take a hike up the cliffs that overlook New York Sound. The views are amazing, but that's nothing compared to the sense of adventure you will get. If you don't want to climb the cliffs, then you can explore the Sand Point Castle. Bring your own water; there aren't any fountains along the way. You will also need to bring your own doggie waste bags. Sand Point Preserve is the pawfect place for an adventure!

Fresh Meadows

Looking for some off-leash fun? Take a 15-minute drive over to Queens. You will have a blast at Cunningham Park Dog Run! There are enough paved trails that you can spend a couple of hours walking around. If you want to let Fido stretch his legs and roam free, head to the off-leash area. Your pup will find plenty of canine companions to socialize with at this roomy park! You will need to bring your own water, as there is no running water here. Trash cans are placed throughout park and provide doggie waste bags for you to use.

Ward Acres Park

Paws Place Dog Park is huge. It's about the size of a baseball field, which means there's plenty of room for your pooch to run and romp off-leash with some new fur-iends! There are water stations set up here, but they are seasonal, so make sure to bring your own as well, especially during the off-season. The cleaning stations are stocked so you can pick up after your pup. This dog park is located approximately 25 miles from Hempstead, in New Rochelle.

Lido Blvd

You only have to go fifteen miles to get to Nickerson Beach in Lido Beach. This is a dog-friendly beach where you can bring your fur baby with you to play in the sun and sand! There is no running water or doggie waste bags here, but there is a fence so that you can let your dog off his leash with no issues. Off-leash beaches are hard to find, so be sure to stop by! This is a fun place to enjoy an outing with the whole family, furry members included. Parking is the only issue. There is a fee for parking, or you can find free parking a couple of blocks away.

Reservior Road

Hankering for a long hike with your hound? Walt Whitman Trail is a four-mile hike that will take you and your dog a couple hours to enjoy. You will need to keep your dog on a leash while you're here, and you'll need to bring your own supplies as well, including plenty of water and doggie waste bags. You and your pup will have so much fun here that you'll be glad you made the 18-mile drive to Huntington! Bring a picnic and make a full day out of your adventure.
