Book nowMy name is Jessica and I have over 10 years of experience in animal care that includes volunteering in dog rescue and working as a Veterinary Assistant. I have spent most of my time walking & socializing dogs in an animal shelter, and caring for those we've saved in a privately run boarding facility. Working with animals is my greatest passion and their safety & well-being mean the most to me. I can't wait to spend time with your pet!

Best Dog Friendly Neighborhoods in Melville
West Hills
West Hills
North of Melville in Huntington is the West
Hills County Dog Park in the West Hills County Park, where your dog will love
playing off-lead with other pups and having a really good run. There are waste
bags available on-site, but bring some water and a drinking bowl for when your
pup has worked up a thirst. You will need to arrange a park pass or pay a fee
for using the park at particular times of the day. Also in this area is the
Walt Whitman Trail, where you can bring your dog for an on-lead walk through
the forest. The main trail is 4.25 miles, but there are other shorter trails in
the area to find.
Central Woodbury
Central Woodbury
Head a little way west of Melville to Woodbury and you will
come across the Trail View State Park. The 454-acre, 7.4 mile-long area is a
popular place for hiking, allowing you and your on-lead pup the opportunity to
escape suburbia amongst some beautiful woodlands. If you are hungry after your
walk, head to Dugan’s Sandwich Shop for a fresh bit to eat with your pup
alongside you at one of the outside tables. Nearby, Red Mango serve up
delicious sweets of frozen yogurt, sorbets, smoothies and juices, and you can
sit with your dog outside. It’s the perfect way to end the day!
Oakley
Oakley
Directly north of Melville in Huntington Station, you will find a couple of great pup-friendly places to eat. Brendel’s Bagels and Eatery of New York has three
pup-proof outdoor tables and renowned for their New York style bagels and
gourmet sandwiches. Sweet or savoury – the choice is yours! Ralph's Famous
Italian Ices also has three pet-friendly outdoor benches where you can sit with
your buddy and enjoy one of their 150 flavours! After your lunch, head out for
an on-lead walk around this area as there are lots of places to window shop and
enjoy a little stroll up the main street of town.
Old Bethpage
Old Bethpage
Bethpage State Park in neighboring Farmingdale is a 1,477-acre area with
numerous walking trails throughout that are perfect for an on-lead outing and a
little exercise for you both. The paved Bethpage Bikeway also runs through here
from Merrick Rd (Massapequa) in the south and north for 12.5 miles. This
multi-use trail is part of the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy and links up to the
wider Nassau-Suffolk Greenbelt Trail. Within
the Bethpage State Park, there are playgrounds for the human kids and plenty
of open space for a game of catch. Or you and your pup can just relax on the grass together for a
bite to eat. Bring your water bottles and Fido’s drinking bowl here, and
remember to pack some clean up bags as well.
Long Island Ave/ Carlls Path
Long Island Ave/ Carlls Path
Edgewood Oak Brush Plains Preserve Trail in Deer Park is just seven mile southeast of Melville and well worth the drive for a lovely walk out in the forest. This dog-friendly trail is on easy terrain and the main loop is just 2.75 miles, but there are other trails to seek out along the way if you are up for a bit of exploring. The entire preserve is 813-acres and in total has more than 23.5 miles of trails and roads. Your dog needs to stay on a lead through here and always clean up after him. There aren’t any amenities out here, so come prepared with any food you might like and plenty of water for you both. You will need a free permit to visit this area from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.
