“Dog walking is no job - it's a passion!”

Hi there! I have been walking dogs in Hoboken, NJ for 4 years now, which I absolutely love! I have had an endearing love for dogs since 2001 when my parents finally gave into the many pleas of my two younger brothers and I to get us a dog. We were introduced to Tiki, a magnificent Black Labrador, who became the sister we never had.

Dog Walking in Manhattan

Manhattan is a city within a city, and this city loves dogs. From the Upper East Side to the Lower West, there are dozens of animal hospitals and vet clinics. If you add in the docs who do house calls, a Manhattan dog is set for life. With prime Manhattan eateries like the Barking Dog with a “dog bar” water fountain out front, what a wonderful life it is, too.

Inwood Hill Park is the oldest park in Manhattan, and comes complete with a fenced in dog run. It preserves some of the natural forest and salt marsh that used to make up Manhattan. This park is a high traffic destination, with many people who come to the park appreciate the cityscape even more once they’ve seen what it’s made from.

There’s too much to see in Manhattan to discover it all yourself. Take a shortcut to local status with Z-Travel and Leisure Tours. Just call to say you’re bringing your dog and sign up for neighborhood tours, food and wine tours, themed tours, water tours, and many more!
