Dog Walkers in Pembroke Pines

Pembroke Pines is a large neighborhood located in South Florida. It is only 16 miles southwest of Fort Lauderdale and 22 miles northwest of downtown Miami. Because Pembroke Pines is so large, it is a good mix of residential and commercial areas. Providentially, Pembroke Pines has a mix of apartment complexes and standalone, single-family homes. Commercially, Pembroke Pines is home to many churches and schools, a local YMCA, a mall, multiple greenways, a hospital, several shopping complexes, several golf courses, and North Perry Airport, a regional facility. There are also a handful of pet supply stores, groomers, and, just in case your pup is looking for another furry friend to join their pack, a local rescue. 

For most of your walks, you should have beautiful, sunny, and warm weather as South Florida and Pembroke Pines has a more tropical climate. Just be sure to always be on the lookout during hurricane season as unexpected, afternoon rainfalls are quite common!

Being so close to two major South Florida cities, Pembroke Pines definitely has a suburban feel with more artificial terrain than anything. However, quite a few manicured greenways and nature preserves add a touch of nature to this neighborhood. Additionally, most of Pembroke Pines is relatively flat, so you shouldn't be breaking a sweat over steep hills, only over Florida's hot, sunny weather! Finally, most of Pembroke Pines has well-maintained sidewalks, particularly in the more residential areas, so you and Fido won't have to share the roadways with traffic or fast-moving cyclists. 

The boundaries of Pembroke Pines include Sheridan Street to the north, North 72nd Avenue and Florida's Turnpike to the east, Pembroke Road to the south, and the Everglades and Francis S. Taylor Wildlife Management Area to the west. Pines Boulevard, South Flamingo Road, and I-75 are other major roadways that run through Pembroke Pines.

There are plenty of greenways located in Pembroke Pines. You'll find both manicured parks and unkempt nature preserves. Local greenways include Chapel Trail Nature Preserve, West Pines Soccer Park and Nature Preserve, Silver Lakes Community Park, Snake Creek Park, and CB Smith Park.

Besides several golf courses in this neighborhood, Snake Creek Park and CB Smith Park combine to create the largest greenway in Pembroke Pines. Collectively, these parks are home to a water park, a concert venue, playgrounds, areas for general recreation, picnicking areas, sports facilities, a campground, access to fishing, and a trail. 

This neighborhood even has its very own dog park if Fido needs a bit more exercise for the day! Johnson Street Dog Park is a fenced-in, grassy area with one section for larger breeds and a separate section for smaller pups. This park even has play areas with different obstacles for your pup to go through and benches for you to sit back and relax!
