Hello! My name is Michele, and I am a high school biology teacher. I love animals! I previously had a dog of my own, but cannot own another one right now. That's why I would love to take your pup for walks around the neighborhood or at a nearby park. I loved taking my former dog for walks on local hiking trails and to the dog park for playtime. Can't wait for an enjoyable walk with your dog!

“Your friendly neighborhood dog walker”
I started pet sitting when I was in high school. Several of my friends had dogs that I would care for while they were away. To make extra money in college I began to walk and then board a local Shiba Inu; a gig I kept until I started working full time. I have always loved animals, but was unable to have any as a child because of allergies some of my family members have. Now my wife and I currently have two dogs (a beagle and a havanese/poodle mix), three cats, two rabbits, and a conure.

“Must hug all the dogs!”
I’ve been dog walking for several years now with over 1300 walks. I have walked pups as small as a rat terrier to as giant as a mastiff. I walk dogs with anxiety and dogs that are aggressive towards humans & other dogs. I have a few pups that I administer medication to. I take what I do very seriously and treat each dog as if they were my own. I’ve never had any incidents (knock on wood)! I have 3 dogs of my own, a Shia Inu mix and the love of my life, a sweet pitbull and a goofy/giant Golden.

Through the centre of Somerville is a lovely walking trail known as the Peters Brook Greenway. This trail follows a band of parks, from the John Long Memorial Park in the north, through Exchange Field and Van Fleet Gardens, through Schaub Park and down to Michael Lepp Field.

escape the lead and go for a good run, head to the nearby Raritan Dog Park in Raritan.
The half-acre park is fenced to keep your dog safe, and there are shady trees
and some benches for you to utilise. You will need to register your dog at the
Raritan Municipal Building first, but the park is free to use. Hungry after your

Martinsville

24Washington Valley Park in Martinsville is a
beautiful place to visit with your dog. Covering a huge 719-acre space, this is
the place for some serious outdoor activity. The main trail is known as the Red
Trail, but there are many shorter connecting trails that together make up over
seven miles of walking paths around the large reservoir. These trails are known
to be quite rocky in places, so watch your footing and keep an eye on your dog’s
paws. Make sure you are decked out with comfortable shoes, insect repellent and
sunscreen. You will need to keep your dog on the lead here and pack ample water
for you both. There are lovely little spots to stop for a picnic too.

River Greenway that connects Bridgewater, Raritan centre and Hillsborough, but
there are several shorter, easy-walk trails through here. There are amenities
provided at Duke Island Park, including pavilions for shade or picnics,
toilets, a playground and a visitor’s centre where you can get maps or find out
more information about the local area. You need to keep your dog on a lead in
Duke Island Park, and clean up after him.
Somerset Canal Road

0A little drive east of Somerville is Somerset
where there is a picturesque section of the Delaware
and Raritan Canal State Park Trail. Part of the Rails-to-trails network,
this trail follows the Raritan River around the top of South Bound Brook. The
entire trail is just shy of 38 miles, but you can choose as much or as little
as you like. The elevation is low, so it is a walk suitable for all levels of
fitness and ability. Your pup needs to stay on a leash here, and always clean up
after him. You will also need to bring your water bottle and drinking bowl, as
there aren’t any fountains along this section.
