Dog Walkers in Old Town, New York

Old Town is located in Staten Island New York. Like many of New York's neighborhoods, its origins began hundreds of years ago. Old Town was first established in 1661 as the first European settlement along Staten Island. The area was settled by the Dutch and French Protestants. Today's Old Town is bordered to the north by Grasmere, to the south by Dongan Hills, to the east by South Beach and to the west by Concord.  

You and your pup will have a great day together exploring the beautiful and historic neighborhood of Old Town. Be a courteous paw parent and bring along some doggy waste bags to clean up after your fur baby.  The residents of Old Town will thank you for it. (And so will your pup!)

The area is mostly flat and low. The city's buildings are comprised of apartment houses, small business and many area landmarks like The New York Tattoo Museum as well as "A Very Special Place", a school for developmentally challenged kids. The surrounding areas are filled with paved concrete sidewalks, asphalt roadways and many green spaces where you and your furry little friend can rest, play or have a quick talk about proper doggy etiquette in public spaces. (Fido, you know what you did!) You can even explore the east shore and check out South Beach. South Beach is complete with an actual beach where there are plenty of places you and your pup are permitted. Be sure to read the rules along the walkways to be aware of areas where your dog is not allowed.

Nearby South Beach is the place for a fun-filled day of exploring with your pup. Be sure your pup is on-leash while having fun at the beach. Your dog is permitted to walk along the promenade with you but they are not permitted on the sand May 2 through October 1st. Your pup is also not permitted in any buildings, playgrounds or swimming facilities due to health codes. You and your pup can romp and run in all other areas of the park though, including designated off-leash areas. Let Fido or Fifi run free, off-leash and play some Frisbee or fetch. What a wonderful day awaits you and your pup! Be sure to bring plenty of water for your pup and a portable bowl should they get thirsty throughout the day and as always, be a friend of the park and help keep it clean for other visitors by cleaning up after your pup.  Have fun!
