We provide one-on-one and small group walks (2-3 dogs) only. On our individual walks your dog receives 100% of our focus, love, and attention during their private walk. This ensures maximum safety, personalised care, and an experience tailored specifically to your dog’s pace and preferences. No sharing attention with other dogs – they’re the star of the show every time.

What areas of Christchurch do you walk dogs?

We provide dog walking services throughout Christchurch including Fendalton, Merivale, Riccarton, Cashmere, Sumner, St Albans, Ilam, Papanui, Woolston, and Halswell. We explore neighbourhood routes, local parks like Hagley Park, beach walks along Sumner and New Brighton, and nature reserves throughout Canterbury. Each walk is customised to your dog’s preferences and your location.

Yes! Every walk is tracked with GPS software showing exactly when we arrived and left, how far your dog travelled, real-time location updates, and the complete route taken. After each walk, you’ll receive a detailed report with photos, an interactive map, and highlights of your dog’s adventure sent directly to your inbox.

Simply register through our Time to Pet booking system. Dog owners complete a quick application so we can understand your dog’s specific needs and preferences. We’ll schedule a complimentary home consultation to meet you and your dog, then you can book walks directly through our app whenever you need them. It’s that easy!

What if my dog needs daily walks while I'm at work?

We offer regular weekly walking schedules perfect for working pet parents! Book recurring walks at the same time each day or week, and we’ll keep your dog happy and exercised while you’re busy.

Do you walk puppies and senior dogs?

Absolutely! Puppies benefit from shorter, gentle walks (30-45 minutes) that provide socialisation and training opportunities.

We adjust every walk to suit your dog’s age, fitness, and health requirements, ensuring they get the perfect amount of exercise without overdoing it.
