Care that fits your life

Dog walking

Solo walks picked up from your door, so your dog gets my full attention. Quick sniff-and-stroll or a big lakeside adventure, you choose the length.

Drop-in visits

Feeding, fresh water, a play in the garden and plenty of cuddles. Perfect for long workdays or dogs who prefer the comfort of home.

Overnight dog sitting

I stay in your home so your dog keeps their routine, their bed and their people-time. Bonus: your house stays lived-in while you're away.

Puppy visits

Little bladders and big energy. Regular visits for meals, toilet breaks, gentle play and early good habits while your pup is home alone.

Need something else? Medication, a lift to the groomer, a mid-day toilet break: just ask.

Piper, your local dog walker

About me

Kia ora, I'm Piper

I'm a Queenstown local and lifelong dog lover. You'll usually find me on the Frankton Track or wandering the Arrow River trails with a happy pup (or three) in tow.

I started Remarkable Paws because I know how hard it is to juggle long hours, holidays and a dog who deserves the world. Every dog I care for gets patience, routine and a whole lot of love.
