Dog walking · Auckland inner west
A tired dog is a good dog.
Ninety real minutes off the lead — running, swimming, bush track — before you're even home from work. Your dog comes back properly worn out. That's the kind that sleeps through the evening instead of taking out the skirting board.

The problem
You leave at 7:30. You're back at 6.
Ten and a half hours is a long time for a dog to sit on a full tank of energy. It doesn't go away — it comes out somewhere.
A dog that hasn't run
What ten hours of stored-up energy looks like by 6pm.
-
The skirting board, chewed by the back door
-
Barking at every passer-by on the street
-
The 10pm zoomies, three laps of the lounge
-
Pulling hard on the lead the whole walk
A dog that's had 90 minutes
Same dog, same house, after a proper walk.
-
Asleep on the mat before you've hung your coat up
-
Doesn't lift its head when someone walks past
-
No zoomies left to have — the tank's empty
-
Walks beside you on a loose lead, not ahead of you
That's not a training problem. It's an energy problem — and it's solved before you get home.
What a walk actually involves
Not a lap around the block.
A short walk on a tight lead doesn't touch ten hours of stored-up energy. This is built to actually spend it.
90
Real minutes, not billed minutes
Ninety minutes of actual walking and running — not ninety minutes that includes pickup, drop-off and standing around.
Off
Off the lead where it's safe
Fenced reserves, quiet beaches at low tide, bush tracks away from the road — full-speed running, not a tight six-foot radius.
4
Dogs, maximum, on any walk
Never more. Enough for your dog to run with company, never so many it's a crowd nobody can enjoy.
Proof, not promises
A photo and a line, after every single walk.
No app, no tracker — just a text after every walk with a photo and how your dog got on. Scroll back through a week and the pattern is obvious: muddy and happy in the afternoon, flat out by nine.
Today
Yesterday
Same pattern, every day: muddy and happy by five, flat out by nine.

Who's walking your dog
About [NAME]
[NAME] has walked dogs across the inner west for years — first as a favour for neighbours, now full-time as Scoopers. It's always the same person at your door, never a rotating roster of app contractors, so your dog is never meeting a stranger.
Every walk is capped at four dogs, matched by size and pace, and every single one ends with a text — a photo and a line about how your dog got on.
- Fully insured
- Canine first-aid trained
- Always the same person
Get your dog worn out.
Tell me your suburb and your dog's size and pace — I'll match them into a walk, or set up a solo.
Socialisation
Matched by size and pace.
Four dogs, maximum, and never a random four. A big, fast dog doesn't get put on a lead with a small, slow one — everyone runs with dogs their own speed, so your dog learns to actually enjoy being around other dogs instead of just tolerating them.
