    Meet Kyla

    Founder & Head Dog Walker

    As a Meadowbank local for over 17 years, I founded Hound Mates to provide the exact level of premium care I expect for my own dogs. I know exactly how much trust it takes to hand over your keys and your best friend to someone else.

    I am proudly Auckland Council Approved, fully vetted, and completely obsessed with ensuring your dog has the safest, most enriching day possible.

    Local Love

    Trusted by our Eastern Bay neighbours.

    "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."

    "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!"
