So glad we booked Jesel to walk our boy! It was a pleasure working with her. She was prompt and thorough. We could tell our boy was well taken care of by how content he was when we arrived home. Will definitely book with Jesel again.

Alissa G.

I am absolutely thrilled! Simla was in communication before and during the visit. I am so happy I found her. It is such a relief to know my dogs are in good hands while I am working.

Brian was super attentive to my dog during his 3 days of sitting. He is a great communicator and was flexible with a super early start and late end time. He made me feel completely at ease while I was away with how genuinely he cared for my best friend.

My guy is super shy and Brian was so kind to him.

Meghan M.

Brian really went the extra mile for our furry friends. He even offered to take my dogs to the park without me having to ask. Outstanding work, Brian!

The best dog friendly neighborhoods
in Port Republic

Mill Pond

If you and your pooch are looking for a pretty place to hike, look no fur-ther than Port Republic’s Mill Pond Trails! The trailhead can be a little difficult to find -- it’s tucked away at the end of Riverside Drive -- but once you two walk into this wooded wonderland, you may well decide the search was worth it! The moderately difficult loop trail is just under two miles long, making Mill Pond an excellent option for a quick morning or afternoon walk. Remember to bring your own water, as well as bags to keep this beautiful area clean!

Historic Smithville

Charming and unique, Historic Smithville is a real mutts-visit! This open air shopping area is chock full of independent stores with delightful, old-timey clapboard shop fronts, and your pooch is welcome as long as they stay on-leash! Different stores have different dog-friendly policies, however, so it’s best to check with staff before you and Fido wander in. The real gem of Historic Smithville, though, is the fabulous Paw Dazzle! Your pooch will find it im-paws-sible to resist a homemade treat from this dog boutique and bakery, and knowledgeable staff are always on hand to help owners pick out accessories.

Bass River State Forest

Bass River State Forest is a popular spot for camping, and it’s easy to see why -- you could lose days or weeks exploring this huge preserve! This forest has something for nature lovers of all kinds -- there are facilities for boating, fishing, mountain biking, and most importantly, miles upon miles of pawesome, scenic trails for you and your pooch to explore! History buffs might enjoy strolling a stretch of the easily walkable Botana Trail, a 50-mile trek running through the old towns of Four Mile, Butler, Martha and Washington. Be aware, though -- bug spray is a must during the summer, as there are plenty of ticks lurking in long grass!

Longport

Make no bones about it -- if your pooch loves swimming as part of their off-leash adventures, they’ll have a whale of a time splashing about in the shallow waters at Longport Dog Beach in Somers Point! Even if your fur ball is water shy, they’re still sure to enjoy digging, a game of catch, or just running about on the sand. Unfortunately, though, water and clean-up equipment aren’t provided -- you’ll need to bring your own bags and bottle! As an added bonus, parking is free, but it’s best to get there early as space is limited.

Brigantine North End

You’d need to be barking mad not to bring your buddy to Brigantine! If you and your pooch feel more secure in a fenced area, the Natasha and Nikita Weiss Dog Park is an excellent exercise option. There’s plenty of space for your pooch to leap about and tire themselves out in, and bags and water are provided. You’ll need a permit from City Hall, though, and there’s no separate small dog area. If that’s a deal-breaker for you, don’t worry -- you and your pooch can still take a leashed stroll on the northern end of Brigantine Beach.
