Bernardsville, Far Hills, and Peapack-Gladstone are horse country. That means estates on Bernardsville Mountain, 10-acre lots in parts of Far Hills, and commuters catching the Gladstone Branch at Bernardsville, Far Hills, or Gladstone station. Dogs here usually have plenty of room to roam but need a professional who respects the property, the gate code, and the routine. That's exactly how we work.

Bernardsville borders Jockey Hollow and has its own trail network. These are the routes we use, and the ones we avoid:
A note on local rules: dogs are not allowed on Bernardsville's 2-mile Old Army Trail loop or at Buck Garden in Far Hills, so we never plan walks there. Whether your home is on Bernardsville Mountain, near Olcott Square, or out in Far Hills, we'll build a route that fits your dog and the rules.
get startedCould not recommend Pups and Rec more! Alison, Luigi, and their team are incredible! From the first phone consultation and meet and greet, you can tell they have such a love and passion for dogs and they would treat your furry friend like their own! They are so reliable, extremely responsive, leave detailed report cards with the cutest photos, and take such good care of my Guinness on their weekly walks. So grateful for the love and attention they give to Guinness!











Each month we fundraise for one of these great causes and donate what we can to help them save as many lives as possible. We host Walkathons every year on various Holidays where we donate our entire day to one of these causes, with 100% of all proceeds going directly to them. Since 2022 we've raised over $72,000 and have helped hundreds of pets find their furever homes!

All dogs must pass our screening which includes 2 solo 30 minute walks the first week, (Current Pup Club members can skip this step), followed by a pack walk test with one of our current adventure daycare pups. Once completed they'll join us for an introductory day to see if they are a good fit for our pack.
Intro Days are $125 and include a personalized harness!
All of our Bi Weekly and Monthly Adventure clients must join our Pup Club by booking a minimum of one walk per week on any off weeks they're not in daycare. This ensures all of our Adventure Daycare pups retain the skills they've learned and stay familiar to our walkers.
