Dog friendly walks in NZ

Be your dogs hero and show them all the best places for an adventure. NZ has many beautiful dog friendly walks and places to explore. Share My Pet is New Zealand’s only pet sharing website. We know every dog has its absolute favourite park or beach to visit.

We are asking the dog loving community in New Zealand to help us put together a guide for dog friendly walks in each city. That way we can share all our favourite doggie-friendly exercise areas – and new pet borrowers can also use this guide to help them find safe and awesome places to take their new furry friends on a date.
