I found Pedal Paws when searching for a dog walker near us for our Greyhound. Zara came out to meet us and talked us through the process, she was professional and so accommodating and we were happy to know we could get her walked on her own as she is not always great with other dogs and I don't know many places that offer that. Comms from the team make sure we are always kept up-to-date and they can be flexible if needed which has helped us out a lot. Bec and Sally are amazing with her for her weekly walks and she loves them so much having her own time with them, her excitement when they come to get her is so beautiful. They also take the best pictures of her which is an extra bonus getting to see them each day after her walks! The team have been lifesavers, I can't thank them enough I am so happy I chose them for our girl.

I feel very fortunate to have found Zara and her team at Pedal Paws. Initially I needed extra walks for my dog Tomka, but more recently she has also joined the Group Adventure Days with some other small dogs. Under Bec's watchful supervision they can run, play and frolic in a large secure paddock and just be dogs!

I know that Tomka is well looked after at all times, plus I've received some great photos of Tommie out walking and having adventures! Communication is always clear and timely about all arrangements, pick up, drop off etc. Congratulations to Zara and the team, this is an excellent service.

So grateful to Zara for her expertise and care with our Molly & Zeus.

She has trained, and taught me to train our pups to keep them safe and secure and happy. We had no idea of the possible problems having two pups from the same litter.

We’ve been able to give them their own space and time without each other and create some much needed boundaries!

Molly & Zeus adore Zara, as well as the girls who come to walk them during the week.

🙏❤️

I highly recommend Pedal Paws Dog Training & Dog Walking Services. Zara has an affinity with dogs and they absolutely adore her. She is knowledgeable, patient and passionate. Nala, who was fearful of her previous trainer, immediately loved Zara and responded to the training with joy. The Pedal Paws team of walkers are caring, helpful, attentive and full of energy to match the dogs needs. I am so happy and grateful to have found them (Nala too).

Melissa Walsh

We have been using Zara and Bec for about 9 months and we couldn’t be happier. Our doggie is walked while we are at work.

The team is always communicating and daily photos on FB are always cute. The team also do regular training, which I love.

Recommend to anyone looking for dog walking services.

Jodie Lewis

The team at Pedal Paws are truly amazing. They are very knowledgeable and full of advice and tips. They are also extremely reliable, turning up each week without fail. And while they are still happy to walk the pups in most weather, if conditions are extreme or if weather is not suitable for my boys health, they are more than happy to switch days to make sure he gets his walk while prioritizing his health and wellbeing. They have nothing but love for my furbaby. My only criticism is that I think my boy loves his walker more than me.

Stacey Schnabl

All i can say is that myself and Zeus couldn't be happier with Pedal Paws. Zara especially has helped transform Zeus from being conservative and anxious to confident and unbothered by the world around him. Zara's training methods, communication and effort has been awesome so beneficial in helping Zeus get to where he is now. Further, the bond she has created with Zeus will forever be cherished and has alleviated our trust in her even more, never had a complaint!

Shaun Sobti

Zara and the team at Pedal Paws are so amazing with my pup! So grateful to have her help with training our boy and exposing him to a variety of different experiences and environments. Seeing how happy and excited our boy gets when Zara comes to pick him up is the best!

Casey Dykes

Winnie and I are so lucky to have found pedal paws training. Zara has been nothing short of amazing in all her training and wealth of knowledge she can provide. Winnie loves his training with Zara and she has helped so much. Whether you are looking for training or someone to walk your fur baby look no further than the girls here!!

Demi Russell

It has been the best experience training with the amazing Zara and her team, the best decision I ever made was to message Pedal Paws and enquire about an assessment for my reactive German shepherd, we have never looked back! The training services are incredible, Zara has transformed my boy in so many ways but also helped myself to gain my confidence with my dog. I could not be more pleased with the progress I see in my dog, the training is so so beneficial, it is time affective as we can work within my own schedule and Zara always accommodates for every dog and their different needs. I could not recommend this business enough!!

Alexis Craig

Wow is all I can say. My reactive dog and I have come such a long way with Zara's help. She explains things so well and is so patient. All the dogs love her especially my boy. The absolute best decision I ever made was to give Zara a call after failing with other trainers. Can't recommend her highly enough.

Sharon Bonanni

I don’t know where to start. Zara and her awesome ladies, have absolutely transformed my girls lives. The care and the dedication they put into the walking and Zara with the training is phenomenal. Both my girls know as soon as I put their collars on, what’s happening for the day; and they are off for adventures. I open my front door and they are off, straight into their their waiting cars, even though the ladies are walking to the door. I can’t praise them enough. Thank you so much Zara, for the life changes not just for me, but both my girls. I have 100% trust in them, and I know and have seen the love they have for my girls, and my girls for them.

Samantha Clifford

Cannot recommend Zara and her team enough! My dog has come so far and couldn’t have done it without them. They make everything simple and easy as well as enjoyable. Wish I had started with them sooner.

Emma Pitt

Zara and her team are incredible! We are a busy couple who adore our pets but on big days at work find it hard to get them out and about. Being able to have complete trust in Zara and her team not only alleviates our stress but keeps our two dogs happy and healthy. Thank you!

Freya Curry

Pedal Paws Dog Training has been absolutely outstanding with our beloved Labrador Coco. She was a year old & completely out of control when we sought out the services of Pedal Paws Dog Training. We thought it was a lost cause for our Coco, however after just a few weeks we saw incredible improvements, and a year later our Coco is the most obedient, well trained dog. A huge thank you to Zara. We would highly recommend Pedal Paws Dog Training to everyone.

Denise Schraven

The girls at Pedal Paws are a life saver. As a person with a disability, I'm unable to walk my dog easily or as often as he needs. The girls take him out 3 times a week for either a walk or a training session with Zara and he absolutely loves it. The highlight of his day is putting on his harness and waiting for one of the girls to arrive. His confidence and basic obedience have drastically improved since engaging their services too. A once very shy dog who would walk with his tail down, he now struts along with his tail wagging. I highly recommend Pedal Paws Training & Dog Walking Services and so does my dog.

Shae Mankey

Zara and the Pedal Paws Team have been flawless, their communication, updates, care and dedication is commendable. We started out with walks In October 2022, we had training sessions in and Jax is coming along in leaps and bounds. His recall and obedience have increased tenfold. His engagement with me when we are out is a delight!

when recent ailments have prevented the usual walks, Zara and the team were incredibly quick to adapt and accommodate to meet his needs, even at short notice. Zara, Bec and Sally all went above and beyond and cared for Jax like he was their own! Jax adores them all and I couldn’t be happier with the service. My favourite touch is the Social media updates, when I am at work I know he his happy enjoying the outdoors which certainly makes me feel happier.

So if you are looking for a dog walker and or trainer I would highly recommend Pedal Paws.

Pam Jones

Absolutely amazing service that Zara gives to our well loved family member-Buddy.

Zara walks Buddy 3-4 times a week and has done so for nearly a year. Prompt communication, great updates on how his walks have been(via message and Facebook posts), cares for him like her own and she goes above and beyond what we pay for at times. Our dog has always been very selective of who he has in his world and as his family-we are protective of him. Having Zara come into our lives has been a blessing. Watching Buddy get excited when greeting her is enough for me to know, that she is one of the pack, he has welcomed her openly into his life. We are forever grateful for the consistent service we received and couldn’t recommend anyone better.

Tania Mamea

Can’t recommend Zara highly enough. My Gus is a miniature Schnauzer who had little confidence and was very reactive on the lead - barking and pulling. After our training and walking sessions with Zara Gus has totally transformed into a confident well engaged happy dog on our walks and park visits. We can now go out without the worry of barking and manic behaviour. I am so grateful to Zara for all she has done for us both. Thankyou 🐾

Mel Melki

Rain, hail or shine, Zara is there! Not only is she a reliable and caring person but she's an absolute expert in dog behaviour. I was so worried starting because my dog is a little reactive, but Zara has been such a God send. I've even noticed myself that my dog is walking better on lead with me! I cannot recommend Zara more. She's the best dog walker and trainer in Melbourne.

Victoria Tedeschi

So glad that we chose Pedal Paws for the training of our staffy pup. He really enjoys the training and just loves his time with Zara. Can’t recommend more highly - Zara is genuinely invested in each and every dog that she trains.

Rebecca Taranto

Zara is amazing with my two puppies. Always safety aware and provides a variety of different activities and environments on the walks. I have also taken the opportunity to book them into the longer adventure walks too which always leaves them happy and sleeping well.

Ben Sturgess

So much appreciation for Zara for looking after our fur boy Ricky B. He was happy, well fed and well cuddled while we were away for a week. Will not hesitate calling Zara for any help with Ricky B.in the future.

Thank you 🐶😃

Hayley Littlejohn

Feel very blessed to have found Zara to walk our golden retriever Riley 3 times a week. With our busy work schedules we were constantly feeling guilty leaving her home for extended hours. Zara is just FABULOUS. Her communication is impeccable, she’s reliable and flexible if walks need changing etc. Rain hail or shine she’s there and even has been teaching our pup better recall skills as well as reassurance to improve her getting into the car/van. The improvement we’ve seen in Riley’s recall is just amazing! Would recommend her to absolutely anyone that is looking for someone who genuinely loves dogs and will go above and beyond for them ❤️

Clementine Greig

The perfect dog walking service! My dog loves his daily walks and the treats after wards. Very reliable and highly recommended. 😊

Mrs Harrison

My Stella absolutely loves Zara. She gets so excited when I mention that Zara is coming. Zara is a lovely person and you can tell that she loves the dogs like her own. Highly recommend 😊

Renee Rae

Zara is absolutely WONDERFUL!! My fur-son Angus absolutely adores her!! So professional, great communication, and most importantly, is amazing with the doggos!! I really appreciate the pics and videos after a walk, and Angus is always totally wrecked and very happy that night. The smile he has on his face when he gets back from a walk with Zara is just awesome. Cannot recommend Zara highly enough!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Katie Barrett

Zara is an amazing dog walker. She walks our dog Frankie three times per week. Frankie is a German Shepherd and returning to busy schedules meant we couldn’t find as much time to walk him as we would like. She has been practicing loose lead walking with him and we have already seen an improvement. Frankie loves his walks and waits at the gate for Zara. Zara sends messages, photos and videos to update us after each walk. We would highly recommend Zara if you’re looking for a dog walker.

Mary Buffon

Honestly hands down, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ this super woman is just amazing. I wouldn’t trust my dogs with any one else. The love and care she gives them ...... just warms my heart ❤️ !

Zara deals with my 4 rescue fur babies that I brought over from New Zealand !!! ....... not easy at all, as they are super old ( 7 to 16 years of human age ! 😳) and they have their own ways of doing things. But she makes it easy for them, as she loves them just like her own and understands their age and what they can do and that’s something I really appreciate and love as a person.

Big shout out to her cool hubby for being so supportive on her new business and having her back. Just shows what a power couple they are.

🐶❤️🐶💙🐶❤️🐶💙🐶❤️🐶💙

Amanda Boniface

Zara was the most amazing help while we were away! She went over and above, not only with our crazy energetic Koolie, Jindy, but also taking in mail, putting out bins and picking up after our girl without even being asked!

We loved all the photos to try and keep us from missing her too much! She looked well loved while we were away for over a week. I’d never consider a boarding kennel with the service we had from Zara xxx

Kylie Loebert

Zara was absolutely amazing! This was the first time I’ve had someone walk my dog whilst away and I was quite nervous. Zara was happy to meet and discuss my needs and even though my dog was a ‘little’ 😬😂stubborn at the start, Zara never gave up on her. She took the time to positively build her trust so much so that she wouldn’t get out of her truck on her final walk! I got heaps of communication via messages, photos and videos and felt at ease the whole time I was away. I will absolutely use Zara again and highly recommend her to anyone going away where you can’t take your pup.

Nicole Otoole

Zara is incredibly calming. Our 2 boys can be anxious, highly strung and extremely vocal, but as soon as Zara walked into our home, they didn't make a peep. Zara walks our 2 staffyXboxers everyday Mon - Fri, amd we could not happier with the service. We have given Zara a key to our home so that she can walk the boys whenever it suits her schedule, and it is just such a relief to know that our boys are being looked after by such a caring, trustworthy, and reliable person. I simply cannot recommend Pedal Paws highly enough.

Ilona Bianca

Going back to work is stressful for Marley so having Zara come and walk her and check in on her helps me out heaps!

She is an older girl and gets anxious when i'm not there but loves to see Zara and get cuddles and a walk. Thanks for watching out for my fur baby!!!
