Sarah is awesome! I have never had such a good walker and was good with my dogs. She also has been helping me train my dog that loves squirrels to not chase them. I don t know what I would ve done without her. She also most importantly is more dependable than any dog walker I have had. She shows up and she shows up on time! Go Sarah!

Miss Kristen is the best! She truly cares about our dogs, and understands and knows their personalities, so she can tell when something is off with them, or when they are having a great day!

Best Dog Friendly Neighborhoods in Rion
Shandon
Shandon
Established as a town in 1904, the Columbia neighborhood of Shandon offers leafy shade and sidewalks through a labyrinth of homes dating from the early 20th century. For dogs who don’t care about history, though, try Pupcakes Pet Boutique and Bakery, with a wide variety of healthy and decadent doggy treats for sale. They’ll even host birthday “pawties” for your fur babies. Work off the calories at Emily Douglas Park, particularly the off-leash dog park! It has the distinction of being one of Columbia’s few free public dog parks. The leash-required areas of the park also include an amphitheater and lawn perfect for lounging around.
Jenkinsville
Jenkinsville
For a taste of nature in an unusually quiet setting, consider Lake Monticello Park in Jenkinsville, a mere 12 miles northeast of Rion. No development is allowed on the lake, which means no houses: you can really get your bark on. Water-skiing or jet-skiing are also no-nos, so dogs who fear loud noises have a peaceful play-spot. The water level can shift up to 5 feet due to the lake’s hydroelectric dam, so keep an eye on swimming dogs. The park offers a fishing pier and sports fields along with a one-mile paved trail, so you have a range of places to walk or soak up the sun. Best of all, Lake Monticello Park is completely free! Nearby is the V.C. Summer Nuclear Station Nature Trail (if the name doesn’t scare you off) offering an additional 1.5 miles of hiking.
Dreher Island
Dreher Island
Dreher Island State Park in Prosperity is just over 30 miles from Rion but worth every barking inch. Spread out over three islands nestled inside Lake Murray, the park has three different recreational trails to match any pup's stamina, from the 0.3-mile Nature Trail to the 2.1-mile Little Gap Trail. Dogs can’t stay overnight at the lakeside villas but are welcome on leash in the park’s other outdoor areas. Bonus: You can turn any cove into your own personal beach, as swimming is permitted throughout the park’s extensive shoreline (although always at your own risk).
Irmo City Center
Irmo City Center
A Columbia suburb near the lake, Irmo brings together the best
of town and country less than 30 miles from Rion. There are 3 dog-friendly restaurants, including carnivore’s
paradise Carolina Wings. From the pup perspective, though, Irmo is all about its
free and beautiful city parks. Irmo Town Park has a small amphitheater: stage your own mini dog show.
Just a few blocks away, Irmo Community Park has walking trails surrounded by a 0.4-mile loop, as well as grassy lawns, plenty of trees, and good (human)
restrooms. Irmo Veterans Park is another good pick for athletes: pups get their workout on a walking
trail featuring built-in human exercise stations
along the way. Dogs make great spotters!
Chapin City Center
Chapin City Center
When your pup is ready for a taste of civilization but Columbia's hustle and bustle aren't his scene, consider Chapin, about 25 miles from Rion. The hub of this bustling community near the lake has 9 different patio dining options for you and your furry family. For gearing up, there's the specialty coffee at Wired Goat Cafe. For winding down, try the Tipsy Toad Tavern. Are they kidding with these names? Frayed Knot (which is also a dog-friendly bar and grill). The best real estate in town, though, is the enormous waterfront covered deck at Rusty Anchor Restaurant. You'll need to earn those calories, but Crooked Creek Park has a 2 miles of walking trails where leashed dogs are welcome, and even a 27-hole disc golf course.
