Athena Lima month ago
I’ve had a seamless experience with JC dog walking over the past 3 months, especially with Hernando. My dog is very leash-reactive but I’ve noticed real improvement in his behavior, even on our own walks. Hernando provided helpful tips during our meet & greet and first walk. Hernando is punctual, reliable, and very patient! I also appreciate the regular updates and photos after each walk to give me peace of mind during the workday. I’d definitely recommend this company if you want someone dependable who truly cares about your dog.

Maxwell Place Park is a beautiful spot in Hoboken! The park is clean, peaceful, and very well-maintained, making it a great place for a walk, picnic, walking your dog or just to relax by the water. There is a closed dog park and playground for kids..Tables are available to sit and have picnic. Bathroom is available in this location. The highlight is definitely the amazing New York City skyline view, which looks especially beautiful when it is dark. The only downside is that parking can be a challenge in the area, so it’s best to plan ahead or come by public transportation if you can. Overall, a wonderful park to enjoy nature and the city views!

Dope park great street section theres little bit of everything. The bowls also sick. Great for beginners and all levels. Flat bars are round and they have a small 4 stair rails and flat rails that go the other way from the stairs. You don’t need to push much good flow.
