What is the name of your state? New Jersey
I'm starting a House/Pet Sitting business and I also walk dogs during the week. Recently I was walking a dog for a client and I was yelled at by a local resident. She said I shouldn't allow the dog to walk on people's lawns. This was NOT her lawn the dog was on, but a neighbor's. I simply told her that I had the dog on a leash and I was cleaning up after him like I always do. Now I'm starting to wonder if she was right? My question is this. Is the grassy area between the street and the sidewalk considered public property? Where can I let the dogs go to the bathroom without getting sued or the police called on me? I don't want to uspet any homeowners, but I want to know if I'm doing something wrong.
