Happy Tails provides professional, one-on-one dog walking throughout Berkeley Township — rain or shine, 365 days a year.
Quick Answer

Berkeley Township is big and green, stretching from the Barnegat Bay shore back into the Pine Barrens, and it gives dogs a lot of terrain. Double Trouble State Park — much of it in Bayville — preserves a historic cranberry village and miles of sandy pine-and-cedar trails along Cedar Creek, one of the prettiest natural walks in the county. On the water, Berkeley Island County Park offers a bayfront promenade and open views across Barnegat Bay. The residential neighborhoods of Bayville, Pinewald, and Manitou Park along the Route 9 corridor are flat and sidewalk-friendly. Happy Tails walkers know the parks and neighborhoods and build routes to match each dog's energy.
Happy Tails assigns you a dedicated primary walker who gets to know your dog — their pace, their preferences, whether they're reactive on leash or need extra time sniffing. Before your first walk, we do a free meet-and-greet at your home. Your walker learns your dog's quirks, your house entry routine, and any special instructions. That information stays on file so nothing gets repeated or missed. Every walk ends with a photo update and a brief post-walk report covering behavior, bathroom, and energy level.
Beyond daily dog walking, Berkeley Township clients also use Happy Tails for drop-in check-in visits and adventure trips — the Cedar Creek trails at Double Trouble State Park are ideal for high-energy dogs on our 60-minute walks. Our pet taxi service covers vet runs and groomer appointments throughout Ocean County — including clinics in nearby Toms River and along the Route 9 corridor — so your dog gets where they need to go without you having to leave work.

“Double Trouble is our happy place and our Happy Tails walker takes our shepherd mix on the Cedar Creek trails for the long walks. Reliable, insured, and the trail photos are amazing.”

We cover Bayville and the surrounding Berkeley Township communities — Pinewald, Manitou Park, Berkeley Heights, and the bayside neighborhoods. If you're near the Toms River or Lacey Township borders, just ask; we likely cover it.
Yes — both are among our favorite Berkeley routes. The Cedar Creek trails at Double Trouble are perfect for our 60-minute walks and adventure trips, and the Berkeley Island bayfront is great for a scenic everyday loop. We follow all park leash rules.
Both work. Single walks are available at $30 for 30 minutes or $50 for 60 minutes. If you need regular walks, our 5-pack ($125) and 10-pack ($230) options bring the per-walk cost down significantly.
Let us know during booking. We work with reactive dogs, anxious dogs, and seniors regularly — Berkeley's quiet residential streets and the wide-open trails at Double Trouble make it easy to keep distance from other dogs. We'll match you with the right walker and make sure the meet-and-greet happens before the first walk.
