About Pup & Go

We are a dedicated Christchurch couple with a soft spot for small dogs. After years of caring for dogs of all temperaments, we developed a deep affinity for the little ones. That natural connection is why we cater exclusively to them today, allowing us to focus on environments that are safer and better matched to their size.

Consistent, paced exercise and companionship are vital for a dog’s physical and mental health. It burns energy, settles emotions, and reduces nuisance behaviours like barking or restlessness.

We use appropriate small-dog gear and pacing to ensure every walk, visit, or overnight stay is safe, enriching, and never overwhelming.

Experience & Approach

We have years of experience caring for our own family pack of 5 dogs, we actively volunteer with Dogwatch and each hold current pet first-aid certificates.

We believe in gentle guidance, predictable routines, and setting dogs up for success—keeping them safe and happy is our absolute priority.
