We run Doggy Day Trips in Hamilton, NZ. We pick up/drop off and head to the park for off-lead exploring, playtime and learning.

Fridayyyy
Buddy and Sadie zooms after a dip in the puddle
Brenna brought her cousins Yumi and Zephyr!! It’s been a while. She’s still amazing.
Princess was extra today. Wouldn’t leave poor Boomer alone.
Aspen is very happy to get away from the office and play with Rori

Rochelle's pack was ready for fun. Nala was just having her breakfast this morning when I arrived, boy can she inhale it very quickly 😋. Clifford and Marley were sheltering in their kennels at pick up, Nala wasn't so keen on Marley's energy in the van. Archie and Nancy were keen on something in the bush and kept going to investigate, Chewy was interested in what they were up to but stayed on track. Teddy is fearless and when he's in full zoom mode he doesn't let the bigger dogs stop his fun. Millie and Monty spooked themselves with the noise of the trees swaying in the wind.

- Stus pack -
Had the awesome Bodhi come along for a run. And boy can he!
Maggie wasn’t a fan in the van but at the forest. Finding someone who can keep up with her is impressive. Mocha loved him too
Chopper had to bring a pinecone home. He was very happy after he stole it from Rosie
Tama jumped on Bella while she was sniffing the puddle. Scaring the jeepers out of her.
Moose was so happy to see her mate Soos. No one plays rough like Moose

Rochelle's pack. Meg and Millie stalked Nancy, Aspen decided to join the stalkers. Maisy chased a pinecone only to have Laika fly past and grab it, Bandit tried to get three pinecones in his mouth at once and not to be outdone Harvey tried two 😅. Rocky was on a solo mission when Stu's van appeared so he chased it, Sid followed the pack and had a great time running and sniffing.

Stus pack
Bailey is really starting to play a lot. With Neo and Frankie!
Monty chased Marley all the way down a hill. Murphy was close behind wondering where the adventure was taking them
I tried so hard to keep Leo out of the puddle.. it didn’t work
Jax stole Maples pinecone. Even though he doesn’t like pinecones

Rochelle's pack had some early timeouts for rough play, after that everyone settled down. Max rolled around in the grass, Dodge lay down for a few breaks, Bandit pulled me up the hill, Millie raced around. Monty, Donna and Nala stayed close by going up the ridge track. Archie, Buddy, Nancy and Chewy were very interested in a possum up a tree but quickly moved on when they realised it was out of reach. Frankie explored ahead and was checking in regularly and then she wasn't there. I called and whistled but still no sign, we all headed to the van hoping to find her waiting there. I walked back up to where I'd last seen her and still nothing, so headed back to the van and after a long while a very tired, thirsty and relieved Frankie appeared just as Ced arrived. 😀

Stus pack!
Everyone in a great mood meant getting them in the wagon went easy!
Rosie and Stumpy destroyed my log seat even more
Mocha stole Atlas’s stick then had a sulk and laid down in the grass.
Chopper and Meave found something fun to chase up a tree. With Meave it could have been anything!
Mac and Stumpy play can get rough! But Stumpy doesn’t mind at all

We went to a park!! It was so good.
The dogs loved it. Even Bella went for a quick run
We played some fetch. Well Boomer and Princess watched us play fetch.
Mocha shared with Sadie and the lake was super full from all the rain on Friday. Good times

Ced's pack enjoyed their romp around the farm today!
Duffy was stoked to be back after a lengthy hiatus 🥰 she was excited and asking for cuddles almost the whole time. Rori pushes in of course to try steal cuddles 😆
Albi loves the sweet grass here.. he can't stop eating it and the throws up on the way home 🤦♂️ silly Labrador
It got pretty hot today so we took some time to chill in the shade, Zephyr really enjoyed this :)

🌟 Blast from the past 🌟
A trip to Day's Park 6 years ago! 🥲

Boomer and Princess had the right Idea to stay home! Waist high grass and heavy rain made it hard going. Everyone was very tired at the end of it!
Sadie U was all over the place. So many smells to track
Buddy chased Aspen around the bike track. She slipped over and got covered in mud.
Sadie R followed Max down hill to try find a possum.
Even Brenna and Yumi had had enough of the rain! Didn’t stop them jumping in the creek on the way to the van
Time for a hot shower and drink

Rochelle's pack was joined by Albi who got the zoomies and had the whole pack chasing after him. Clifford bashed a bush trying to scratch an itch. Marley, Millie and Monty played well together with Nancy and Archie joining in. Teddy and Sadie zoomed and then lay down in the middle of the track. Nala followed the treats and Chewy bounded along full of energy.

Thursdays pack seemed to be abit slow today.
Except Chopper and Mocha who were happy to run around like maniacs
Soos found something very interesting in the forest. He didn’t want anyone else to know what it was so he ran off as soon as he smelled it!
Abby and Atlas are two big goofballs who don’t usually play much. But today they briefly ran around the pampas grass.
Rosie argued with Jerry who got to close to her pinecone
Maggie doesn’t like Miles energy on pick up. At the forest she’s very happy to run with him
13/11/2024
Rochelle's pack cruised along today. Laika, Nancy and Sadie got the zoomies heading up the ridge track, Meg, Millie and Maisy chased them. Bandit and Harvey tried to steal pinecones from each other. Sid enjoyed sniffing and following the pack, Aspen and Rocky led the way.
13/11/2024
Stus pack had the fabulous Nela join us! Everyone was very happy for her to hang out
Sadie chased her with a stick. Nela chased Marley until Marley went into the puddle. No thanks!
Frankie and Neo zooming at full speed is impressive!
I managed to keep Bowie and Leo clean!! I “borrowed” Bowie to go see grandma.
Jax got some speed up when he was following Maple around.
We had a very chill walk today.
12/11/2024
Rochelle's pack went exploring, the dogs found lots of water to cool down in. Buddy and Donna wore smart new collars, Max, Archie and Dodge started a big game of chase. Bandit and Nancy led the way through the bush, Nala, Monty, Frankie and Chewy checked in for treats. Millie started bouncing up and down in the van when she knew she was nearly home.
12/11/2024
Stus pack had a late start and boy did they let me know with lots of grumpy faces
Nina was off on missions today. She couldn’t deal with Dozer and Atlas wrestling
Tama was solo with Rocko away. Didn’t stop him from pretending to be a submarine!!
Mocha was being weird. Wasn’t even keen to annoy Rosie
11/11/2024
Today's pack got to hang with Ced at the farm!
Well I thought we were going to have a cold wet day but boy did it get hot! This slowed everyone down toward the end and even Boomer and Princess wanted to go for a swim in the trough! They weren't so happy about the deep one though...
Albi lead a fun zoomie play out of no where, Ivan was in a vary playful mood and Yumi was too!

Who are we?
We are Hamilton’s newest dog care service, pooches are our passion and we are very excited to bring you Doggy Day Trips!
While you're at work or away from home (or even while you are home) your pooch can get bored and restless. Sending them on regular Doggy Day Trips is a great alternative that stimulates the mind, stretches the legs, and can improve overall behaviour. Then, when you get home at night, you and your pooch can relax together!
A walk for a dog is a special adventure, it's their wild nature to roam and explore as a pack. Our trips satisfy these core instincts, while providing a different, exciting way to exercise and socialise.
Our Trips...
are approximately 3 hours, with a minimum of 2 hours exercise.
focus on plenty of off-lead exploring and time to play.
include pick up and drop off from your home, even if you’re at work.
include visits to a variety of dog parks in and around Hamilton.
are typically $42.50 per trip, see our website for more info.
Prelim visit...
We do a house call for every pooch prior to going on their first trip, at no charge. This helps us place the dog in the appropriate pack, learn their behaviours or special requirements and understand your preferences.
