Wag n Walk

Walks can be weekly or fortnightly, depending on your availability and your match’s schedule.

Walks usually last about an hour. If you need shorter or longer walks, let us know, and we can adjust to what works best for you.

We’ll decide the walking route together, starting from your home or a nearby meeting spot. Walks are planned to suit your goals, accessibility needs, and what’s safe and dog-friendly.

Routes can include:

- A stroll through the neighborhood or a local park.

- A stop at a dog-friendly café if you’d like a social break.

- A visit to a dog park or venue if you’re looking to meet new people and dogs.

Every walk is tailored to make sure it’s enjoyable, comfortable, and meets your preferences.

Yes, you can bring your own dog! Please note that we can only have one dog on a walk. This means either you or the volunteer will bring a dog, but not both. If you’d like to bring your dog, staff will conduct an assessment to make sure it’s a good fit for the program.

No prior experience is needed! Staff and volunteers will guide you and ensure you’re comfortable.

You can bring a support worker if it helps you feel more comfortable or if you need extra help. Our volunteers can help with things like pushing a wheelchair, but they can’t help with personal care like getting dressed or using the bathroom.

Yes, you can combine Wag n Walk with other programs like Pat n Chat for more social activities or Taster Experience for career exploration.

We’ll work with you to understand your concerns and, if needed, find a new match that better fits your preferences.
