Our Dog Care Services in Queenstown

At Take the Lead QT, we know that life can get busy, and sometimes you need an extra helping hand. That’s where we come in! Our dog care services in Queenstown are designed to provide reliable, loving, and professional care for your pets, whether they need daily exercise, companionship, or in-home care while you're away.

While our main focus is on group dog walking, we offer a range of services tailored to meet the needs of your pets and household. Whether it’s feeding your cat, watering your plants, or bringing in deliveries while we care for your dog, we go the extra mile to keep your home running smoothly and your pup’s tail wagging.

  • Exercise and socialisation are essential for a happy, well-balanced dog. At Take the Lead QT, we work closely with you to create the best walking schedule for your furry friend. Each walk is designed to match the needs of individual dogs and their humans.

    What You Can Expect:

    ✔ Personalised Pack Matching - After assessing your dog’s temperament, we introduce them to different groups to find their perfect adventure buddies.

    ✔ Flexible Scheduling - Whether your schedule changes weekly or you need a last-minute booking, we do our best to accommodate your pup.

    ✔ High-Energy Adventures or Gentle Walks - From off-lead runs to slower, on-leash strolls for older or recovering dogs, we adjust to what your pup needs.

    ✔ Mental & Physical Stimulation - Our walks help burn off energy while keeping your dog mentally engaged, so they return home happy and ready for a well-earned nap.

    Pricing: From $40 per walk

    ✔ Training & Playtime - We can work on basic tricks, provide enrichment activities, or simply offer a cuddle session.

    ✔ Short Walks & Toilet Breaks - If your pup just needs a quick stroll around the block, we’re happy to help.

    ✔ Medication & Feeding - We can administer medication or provide meals as part of our visit.

    Pricing: Contact us for availability and rates.

  • Small Group Walks: We keep our walking groups small to ensure every pup gets the care, attention, and supervision they deserve.

    Varied Walking Locations: We mix up our walking routes around Queenstown, Arrowtown, Lake Hayes, and surrounding areas to provide exciting new adventures for your dog.

    Weather Considerations: We walk in rain or shine, but extreme weather conditions will be taken into account to ensure the safety and comfort of your dog.

    Flexible Cancellations: We understand that plans can change! We kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a walk, though we’ll always do our best to accommodate last-minute changes.
