“Dog walking is no job - it's a passion!”
Hi there! I have been walking dogs in Hoboken, NJ for over 3 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.

I doubt you're ever gonna find anyone who loves dogs more than I do. I've lived with dogs my whole life, walked at least 100 of my friends dogs, read dog books, volunteered at the Humane society in Hawaii, donate to ASPCA monthly, and just love them like crazy. I'm used to walking between 35.000 to 45.000 steps a day and can't wait to start walking your little one.

Hi there. My name is Dan. I go to school at GW, and I'm looking to walk some local pooches to help pay for school. I'm new to the world of professional pet care, but I'm no stranger to caring for dogs. I have a basset hound mix named Bon Bon back home (who I miss like crazy) that I've loved and cared for the past 8 years. I've also had experience sitting and walking dogs for neighbors and relatives. I look forward to getting out to meet some new pups and brighten their days.

I was raised on a farm in California, and I have been around dogs since I was a very young child. I have cared for dogs both professionally and for family, roommates and neighbors. I LOVE dogs, and I think they can sense when they meet a dog lover, which probably explains why they tend to love me as much as I love them. I look forward to spending time with your furry friend!

Dog Walking in Woodside
The Woodside neighborhood is a part of the borough of Queens in New York City. Although the name indicates plenty of wood, the region asn't always that way. The area used to be known for its marshes, muddy flats and bogs. Due to this, the area was scarcely inhabited for many years until the place was drained in the early 1900s. The population grew since then and became the largest Irish community in Queens.
Nowadays, the neighborhood is mostly known as a concrete jungle, except for a few hidden away spots for the dog-lovers in the area. One area is known as the Doughboy Plaza and Dog Run, an enclosed park that allows dogs to run around safely off-leash. Features include benches, trails, clean-up stations, double-gated fences and water fountains.
You'll be surprised to hear though Woodside has another fenced-in dog run at Sherry Park. Although only made up of asphalt, the area is closed in with high fences and allows dogs to stretch their legs while running freely. There are benches and picnic areas to be found here, and chess games are often played by park goers. Other dog-friendly options include Sprango Park and Crosson Green.
With three different animal hospitals, it's not hard to tell that Woodside loves its resident dogs.
