Life's ruff. We'll take the walks.
Northside Dog Walking gives Brisbane's busiest owners their lunch breaks back — daily walks, puppy visits and doggy daycare from people who are, frankly, a little obsessed with dogs.
Our business plan in one line: sit, stay, repeat.
What we offer
Whatever your dog needs, we've probably already done it for someone else's.
Daily walks
20, 30 or 60 minute walks, solo or with a small, well-matched pack.
Puppy visits
Midday toilet breaks, play and gentle training reinforcement while you're at work.
Doggy daycare
A full day of supervised play with other friendly dogs — home by dinner, worn out in the best way.
Overnight sitting
In-home overnight stays so your dog keeps their routine, bed and backyard while you're away.
Weekend hikes
Longer group adventures on northside trails for dogs with energy to burn.
Meet & greets
A free first visit so your dog can sniff us out before any booking is confirmed.
Meet the pack (that's us)
Three people who plan their weekends around other people's dogs.
Sam
Founder & head walker
Once turned down a beach trip to dog-sit a nervous greyhound and has no regrets. Can recite every dog's name on her route before their owner's.
Favourite breed: whichever one is currently sitting on her foot
Priya
Puppy & daycare lead
Trained in canine first aid and puppy socialisation. Talks to dogs in full sentences and firmly believes they understand every word.
Favourite breed: cattle dogs, for the chaos
Marcus
Hikes & overnight stays
Ex-vet nurse who joined for "a change of pace" and now spends his weekends on trail walks with twelve of his closest four-legged friends.
Favourite breed: whichever one just stole his sandwich

What the humans say
The dogs can't leave reviews, but if they could, it'd just be a lot of exclamation marks.
Our cattle dog has more social plans than we do now. Sam sends a photo update that's honestly the best part of my day.
— Claire, Kedron
Priya handled our anxious puppy like an absolute pro. He now sits by the door wagging when he hears her car.
— Ben, Chermside
Marcus dog-sat for a week and left the house cleaner than we did. Our dog may love him more than us at this point.
— Aroha, Wavell Heights
A few questions, answered
Do you walk more than one dog at a time?
Yes, in small, carefully matched groups of dogs who actually like each other — think dinner party, not dog park free-for-all.
What if my dog is nervous or reactive?
Solo walks are always available, and we do a free meet & greet first so nobody's surprised on day one.
Do you have a spare key to my house?
Only if you give us one. Lockboxes, hidden keys or a neighbour handoff all work fine too.
Your dog is already wagging. Are you?
Book a walk, a visit, or a full overnight stay in under a minute.
