Fetch Dog Walking Auckland is a dog walking company established in 2005, and its website describes it as one of New Zealand's most established dog walking businesses. Its handlers run off-lead pack walks at Auckland beaches and parks, and on its farm in the Waitākere Ranges. It also runs a boarding retreat with 100 acres of coastal land to explore.
A dog is collected from home, taken on a structured one-hour group walk, and returned home. The website says most dogs are out of the house for between one and a half and two and a half hours, and that walks go ahead in all weather. Handlers are trained through the National Dog Handling Academy and hold or are working towards NZQA-recognised qualifications. The service covers many central and western suburbs, from Grey Lynn and Ponsonby to Titirangi and Glen Eden. Booking is by enquiry form or by phone on 021 335 446. A key or door access code is recommended. Our view is that it is a good choice for a working owner in Auckland who wants a trained team to walk the dog in the day.
