I'm in college currently enrolled at Widener University. I've had my own dog walking business in my hometown since I was about 12 years old, and I've walked over 100 dogs. My goal when using this app is to help make busy pet owners' lives easier by taking care of and walking their dogs when they're not around. I have a furry friend of my own and I understand the responsibility when taking care of a dog.

I am a graduate student who would love to get some fresh air with your pup! I grew up in Vermont with two wonderful dogs, Red (Retriever mix) and Buddy (Collie/Newfoundland). I have experience with both puppies and geriatric dogs. I walked and sat for my previous roommate's American Shepard for 1 year, from the time he was 8 weeks old. I also walked/sat a geriatric Border Collie for 1 year. Due to classes, my availability is variable, so I am best suited for on-demand and one-time walks.

“I work hard so my dog can have a better life.”
Hi! My name is Laura, and I like dogs more than people! Okay, that might not be the best thing to say, but let’s be honest, dogs have such an unrelenting joy and love about them that just makes them so lovable, and I love spending time with them. I’m a dog mom myself, so I know how important it is to make sure that your dog has the best care in the world, and I ensure you that I will give your dog that care!

“Dog lover at heart!”
I grew up with an adorable Cockapoo who passed away in April at the age of 13. I have a bit of a void in my heart and walk dogs to get my “dog fix” in. I am comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and am also comfortable handling 2 dogs at a time. I would love the chance to meet the canine member of your family!

Dog Walking in Linwood
The city of Linwood, New Jersey was originally named Leedsville. The United States Post Office advised that the name needed to be changed because it was causing problems since there was another city with the same name. In 1880, the town was renamed Linwood, a name which won out over three other options.
There is a great place for you and your furry friend to enjoy a meal together in this quaint city. The La Pizzatega is a dog-friendly restaurant that serves a wide variety of Italian foods. You can share a slice at any of the Fido-friendly outdoor tables. Just looking to get something quick? Take your order to-go!
You'll also find a gorgeous nature trail in Linwood to explore with your four-footed friend, the Pleasantville to Somers Point Bike Path. This 8.2-mile trail is an old rail line that is now part of the Rails-To-Trails program. The trail is paved and meanders through quiet residential neighborhoods of Linwood. There isn't much shade on the trail, and you will want to bring water with you as well as doggy waste bags for cleaning up after Fido. Be sure to bring a leash and your best walking shoes with you when you come to Linwood; you'll need them!
