We're not a national franchise or a side hustle. Pups and Recreation is owned and operated by Luigi and Alison out of Wharton, NJ. We meet every single client and their pets in person before starting with our service. Our team lives within 5-10 minutes of you. We know that Center Grove traffic can stretch a 4 mile drive to 25 minutes at school dismissal, that the trail at the back of Hedden Park gets icy by late afternoon in January, or that most Shongum Lake Homeowners don't want their pups walked after dark with all the tight roads. We know the area, because we live and walk dogs here every day.
Three things that set us apart from every other Randolph dog walking service:

Whether your home is near the Randolph High School athletic fields, on the Mt. Freedom commercial corridor, or tucked back near the Clyde Potts watershed, we have a team member who covers your street.

Highly recommend Pups and Recreation! They are reliable and professional. I love their post-walk report cards and pictures they send. And I always know my dog is in good hands!
We were in a last minute pinch and Pups and Recreation were very accommodating. The app is very easy to use and you can leave specific instructions. Their team was always prompt and left photos and an update after each visit. Highly recommend!
Alison, Luigi and their crew went above and beyond to take care of my little zoo. They gave timely, detailed updates from every visit during our vacation, and they really took the time to win over our skeptical, skittish rescue pups.
I can’t recommend Pups & Rec enough! I felt at ease during my vacation knowing my dog was in good hands with them. Anthony took great care of my dog, kept me posted on how she was doing & sent lots of pics.
I'm so glad I was able to find Pups & Recreation! I have been looking for a reputable team of animal lovers to help watch my dog when i'm in need. They were more than accommodating for last minute scheduling and extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend their fantastic team!
Could 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!

Every Pups and Recreation client gets access to our custom-built scheduling and report-card app. You request walks, see your schedule, pay invoices, and receive photo + GPS report cards after every visit. No texting, no calling, no paper invoices.
We come to your home, meet your dog, walk through your routine (feeding, leash storage, alarm codes, medication, emergency contacts), and set up our app so you can book and pay in seconds. The meet-and-greet is always free and there's no obligation.
Yes — 365 days a year means just that with no holiday surcharge as well. We're one of the very few Randolph dog walkers that doesn't charge extra for holidays.
If you’re booking consistently every week we assign a few primary pet care providers for consistency, plus one or two backups trained on your dog's specific routines. This way your dog still gets familiar faces if your primary is sick or on vacation. If you’re booking vacations with us where we see them 3 to 4 times a day we try to limit the number of pet care providers to a team of 4 to 5 whenever possible. We don't rotate randomly through 20 strangers like the gig-economy apps do.
Our staff have turned many dogs around after just a few months of working with us. For more severe cases we refer you out to an ADB Certified Canine Behavior Counselor (Meredith Kiani, also a NJ Animal Control Officer). We routinely walk reactive, anxious, and rescue dogs. Most clients see meaningful improvement within 10-15 walks because every walk includes structured behavior reinforcement at no additional charge.
For most prospective Randolph clients, we can complete a free meet-and-greet within 48 hours and begin service the next day.
Yes. Pups and Recreation carries full commercial liability insurance and is bonded. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request.
Our standard 30-minute walk is competitively priced for the Randolph market with no holiday, weekend, or credit-card surcharges. Many local competitors quote a lower base rate but add $20 holiday fees, $5 weekend premiums, and a 3% credit-card fee. We also don’t upcharge for Walks, or Puppy Care! Check out our Dog Walking or Pet Sitting page to get an idea of our all in pricing.
