We believe that dogs aren't just pets—they are deeply loved family members. Founded and led by Kyla, Hound Mates was created to give owners total peace of mind through reliable, premium care.

Our boutique service is here to support you with everything from solo walks, group adventure walks, basic training and walking etiquette, to feeding, puppy check-ins, full pet sitting, and even pet deliveries and transport. We provide the professional, human-led support system your household needs to thrive.

  • Bridget - Remuera

    My labradoodle, Lucy, and I highly recommend Kyla at Hound Mates. She goes beyond just walking your dog - she enriches their day and builds in variety to the week. From fetch and games, to sniff walks and training, Lucy never has a dull day with Kyla. The highlight of my work day is getting an update with what they've gotten up to, with a cute picture of course. Just look at her Instagram to see all her happy furry customers. Not only does Kyla show love to the pooches she walks, but she is trustworthy, reliable and flexible. The online booking and payment process is also easy and convenient. Lucy loved her straight away, and I'm sure you will too.

  • Debra - Glendowie

    My 2 mini schnauzers adore their daily walks with Kyla. The photos she sends me show their pure joy on their outings and make my day! I know that they are living their best life on these walks and are tired, happy pups when they get home! It’s so reassuring to have someone they love and who I can trust with my furbabies!
