Welcome to Hound Mates 🐾

A Small Family Business with a Big Heart for Dogs.

At Hound Mates, we treat every dog who jumps into our van as if they were our own. We’re a small, dedicated family business, and to us, your dog isn’t just a "client"—they’re a mate. Whether it’s a local lunchtime adventure or a big move across the country, your pet’s safety and well-being are our absolute priority.

We are proud to be a trusted choice for families across The Bays and Central Auckland. You’ll often see us out and about in the parks of Mission Bay and St Heliers, or wandering the leafy streets of Remuera and Parnell. We specialise in high-quality, small-group socialisation for the social butterflies, as well as tailored one-on-one walks for those who prefer some solo time and a little extra personal attention. Along with our In-Home Doggy Minding, we ensure your pet feels relaxed, loved, and right at home.

When life takes you further afield, our North Island-Wide Pet Transport is here to give you total peace of mind. From our Auckland hub to Hamilton, Tauranga, Taupō, Wellington, and everywhere in between, we provide a safe, calm journey in our purpose-built, ventilated van. We understand that travel can be a big day for a pet, so we focus on a stress-free experience tailored specifically to your dog’s personality and needs.

We’re honoured to be trusted by our local community to look after their best mates. From solo strolls to VIP North Island transfers, we’re here to make sure your dog arrives happy, healthy, and ready for their next adventure.
