About Ruairi

Doggy day adventures to some of the best spots around Auckland and beyond. Little video updates so you can witness all the mischief :)

I have had dogs all my life including 2 rescues, I have completed 2 dog behavioural courses recognised by Auckland Council and I'm heading towards being a specialist in dog behaviour.

I love taking dogs with three others for a 2-3 hour walk and in this instance I can only take a maximum of 4 dogs in any given day and I think this means I can keep an eye on everyone and give them the attention they need. I love walking and finding new places to explore with dogs as well as all the old favourites around Auckland.

I can also do solo walks with your dog or dogs if that is required and can be discussed and arranged upon meeting. As I have a very keen interest in dog behaviour and experience dealing with tricky personalities, I am happy to help here if I can but would come at extra cost agreed with the dog guardian.

As mentioned above, I have had dogs all my life, that's 3 springer spaniels, a short haired border collie who I rescued at 10 months old called Mackenzie, he is now almost 15 and still going strong although has slowed up a lot so only gets short walks now, and last but definitely not least a rescue from the Waikato called Anaru, he is a beautiful mixed breed dog who loves hiking and exploring the hills. With all of this I have looked after and trained countless dogs, i am listed on both house sitting websites in NZ and have been house and pet sitting for more than 6 years here. I adore all animals and love spending time with them in the great outdoors!

Ruairi has walked our dog twice now and we've been really happy with his knowlege and approachability, given our pup is reactive towards dogs she doesn't know. We will be booking Ruairi for a house-sit and future walks. Recommended.

Ruairi was truly a blessing. He took such good care of our dog. Our dog loved him. He had good communication and sent us regular photos and video of our dog. Our big dog looked happy and well exercised. This made it possible for us to have a relaxing holiday. Our dog was in great shape and our house was kept spotless. I 100% recommend Ruairi.
