Every Mate has a Story
Auckland Professional Dog Walkers
A Complete Care Journey
Puppy Visits
We get involved from the very start. Our dedicated puppy visits provide 30-minute home check-ins focusing on safe early socialisation, command reinforcement, and protecting developing joints.
Solo Dog Walking
Focused, 1-on-1 attention. We use bespoke solo dog walking sessions as "training trips" for teenage puppies building confidence, or tailored "sniffaris" for dogs who prefer their own company.
Dog Walking Groups
Carefully coordinated adventures (max 4 dogs). Once joints are fully developed, we match mates based on temperament for safe, engaging dog walking groups and social pack experiences.
Gentle Walks
Need a dog walker for older dogs? We provide gentle, local outings entirely at your dog's pace, focusing on extra sniff-time and relaxed, stress-free exploration for senior pups.
Sitting & Check-Ins
Midday home check-ins, feeding routines, and boutique pet sitting. A trusted dog check in service in Auckland for our regular clients to provide total peace of mind when you can't be there.
Pet Transport Auckland
Safe relocation in our custom van featuring individual crates and temperature monitoring. We offer local vet runs and premium VIP pet transport Auckland-wide.
Founder-Led Standards
Our team is personally trained by Kyla to ensure the premium "Hound Mates" standard is met on every single outing. We operate strictly as an Auckland Council approved dog walker, ensuring total compliance and safety.
We believe in enriching lives and protecting long-term health. That is why we stringently follow developmental guidelines for puppies, and proudly recommend bespoke solo outings for any dog that thrives better outside of a pack.
The Hound Mates Standard:
- Owner-Operated: High-level care led by our founder.
- Premium Fleet: Van features permanent cushioned crates and extra ventilation.
- Area Experts: Deep knowledge of Auckland's best tracks, beaches, and parks.
- Certified Care: Fully council approved and liability insured for your peace of mind.
