Sometimes life can get really busy and you might find yourself a little short on time to walk your dog. Luckily with Pawshake, it is really easy to connect with thousands of pet lovers and find a walker in Nelson who is available and waiting to help you out.

All of our walkers are vetted individually and every dog walker booking is covered by The Pawshake Guarantee so you can rest easy while they spend time with your dog. Additionally, your Pawshake walker will be from your local Nelson neighbourhood and their profile also includes reviews from other pet parents.

Having a dog walker visit during the day is an affordable and great way to break up the day and make your dog’s day more interesting. Some of our walkers walk multiple dogs at once so this service is a great way for your dog to socialise and meet other similar dogs. However, if your dog prefers to be walked alone, you can also find Nelson dog walkers who only walk one dog at a time. That way, the walks can be completely dedicated to what your dogs want – whether is a slow walk-and-sniff or a faster paced brisk walk around the block, our Pawshake dog walkers will be happy to oblige.

Hi! I’m Alex — a lifelong dog lover, active dad, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time outdoors with animals. I have two dogs of my own (a beagle and a husky), so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your furry family member.
My goal is simple: to provide a calm, safe, and fun environment where your dog feels comfortable, cared for, and part of the family. Whether it’s walks, daycare, or overnight care, I bring patience, structure, and positive energy to every dog I look after.
I’m very active and love getting outside, so dogs in my care enjoy regular exercise and stimulation. A typical day includes walks, playtime, rest, and plenty of attention. Walks are usually 30–60 minutes, and I tailor them to your dog’s energy level — whether that’s a relaxed stroll or a more adventurous outing.
We’re also lucky to have a large, secure outdoor space where dogs can safely run, play, and burn off energy. It’s perfect for games like fetch, exploring, or just relaxing in the fresh air. If suitable, your dog may also have the opportunity to socialise and play with our dogs, who are friendly and well-socialised — but this is always done gradually and based on temperament to ensure a positive experience for everyone.
For daycare and boarding, I keep numbers small so each dog gets proper attention. I take time to introduce dogs slowly and safely to ensure everyone feels comfortable. I follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, sleep, and exercise. Dogs are always supervised when together, and I prioritise a calm, controlled environment.
Because I have a young child at home, safety is something I take very seriously. Dogs are never left unattended in situations where safety could be compromised, and I ensure all interactions are managed carefully and respectfully.
I also have a background in teaching, which means I’m reliable, communicative, and attentive to individual needs. I’m comfortable working with different temperaments, including energetic dogs, nervous dogs, puppies, and older dogs who may need a slower pace.
Your dog’s wellbeing always comes first. I’m happy to provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you feel confident and at ease while your pet is in my care.
Additional details:
• Walks: 30–60 minutes depending on your preference
• Dogs per day: Small numbers to ensure quality care
• Fully supervised environment
• Only vaccinated dogs accepted
• Happy to follow your dog’s routine exactly
At the end of the day, I treat every dog like my own — with care, attention, and genuine enjoyment.


Hi, I’m Kelle! I live in Nelson NZ with my 2 little tuxedo cats, Leo and Luna. They are bonded siblings who love to play and cuddle. I grew up with a German Shepherd dog, my first cuddle buddy.&nbsp;
I have experience caring for cats and dogs and I’m happy to accommodate special needs, routines, or quirks to help your pet feel safe and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch, energetic walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company.
I understand how much your furry (or feathered!!) friends mean to you, and I treat every pet as if they were my own.
You can count on me to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. Feel free to reach out with any questions! I look forward to meeting you and your pets!


I have been walking my dogs since I was a little boy. My current dog Polly and I explore the enviroment of Nelson everyday. Our favourite walks are up the grampians , but you also find us in the local parks, at the Nelson beach or just " around the block". Whatever your best friend prefers will be on our walk menu. Polly is superkeen to be part of the adventure but if you prefer for your dog to be walked alone then thats on offer as well of course. I am flexible with my work hours (sort of ..) and can come and pick up your dog with my van to take it to its favourite park nearby. I am a teacher when i dont walk our furry friends and I am available during school terms as well as school holidays. I am happy to meet and greet at your convenience. I am looking forward to meeting you and your best friend. At this stage I only offer dogwalks but no pet sitting. Andreas
