Services / Dog Walking
Dog Walking
Thirty, forty-five or sixty minutes, on a schedule built around yours.
The walk
Every walk comes from Ben’s own way of doing things. He learns your dog’s pace, their favorite route and what they’d rather avoid, and treats your home like his own on the way in and out.
Every walk
What’s included.
- Every walk is planned and overseen by Ben.
- Fresh water and a quick towel-off before he leaves.
- A note and a photo after every walk.
- Keys and door codes kept private and secure.

Questions
Which towns do you cover?
Rumson, Atlantic Highlands and the towns around them, like Fair Haven, Little Silver, Sea Bright, Red Bank and Middletown. If you’re not sure yours is included, just ask.
Will my dog be walked with other dogs?
Only if you’d like. Ben offers private walks for dogs who do best on their own, and group walks and activities for dogs who love company.
What happens in bad weather?
Ben walks rain or shine. Extreme weather aside, like lightning, blizzards or hurricanes, your dog gets their walk. If it’s truly unsafe, he’ll let you know.
How do I change or cancel a walk?
Give Ben at least 24 hours’ notice and there’s no charge. With less notice, it’s half the walk. On the same day, or once Ben is at your door, it’s the full walk. There’s never a fee when Ben calls off a walk for weather, and he’s glad to waive it for a real emergency.
Do you walk puppies and older dogs?
Happily. Ben suggests a private walk for puppies and older dogs, so he can give them the extra attention and the pace they need.
Which days count as holidays?
New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, the Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
How far ahead should I book?
At least a week ahead, so Ben can hold your spot. Need something sooner? Call or text 908-239-4325 and he’ll see what he can do. Bookings made with less than 24 hours’ notice add $15.
