I started Pup Dates for one simple reason: I couldn’t bear leaving my dog behind whenever I went out to do something fun. I wanted to enjoy more of life with my furry best friend—not apart from him. When I looked around Sydney, I realised I wasn’t the only one.

So, I created Pup Dates: a warm, welcoming community where dogs of every breed, size and personality—and the people who love them—can connect, make friends and enjoy new adventures together.

From brunches at Sydney’s best dog-friendly venues and beautiful walks to special events, day trips and unforgettable experiences, every Pup Date is thoughtfully curated to be welcoming, social and, most importantly, fun for both ends of the lead.

✨ Less “just another walk,” more “your dog’s social calendar is now busier than yours.”

✨ No awkward small talk—just dog talk, shared adventures and people who understand that your dog is family.

Whether you are looking for dog-friendly things to do in Sydney, new places to explore, practical information or the chance to meet other dog lovers, you and your furry bestie will always be made welcome at Pup Dates.

The best way to join our community and discover what’s happening is to subscribe to The Pup Date, our free weekly newsletter. It brings you the latest Pup Dates events, dog-friendly places to visit, trusted recommendations, community news, special opportunities and plenty of canine personality—delivered straight to your inbox.

We also love hearing from our community. Send us your stories, photographs and latest adventures for the chance to be featured in The Pup Date. Whether you have discovered a brilliant dog-friendly café, enjoyed a memorable day out or simply captured your pup doing something irresistible, we would love you to share it with us.

Over the past eight years, we’ve created unforgettable moments together: from high teas at Vaucluse House and ferry trips to Patonga, to market strolls, pampered picnics, and even speed boat rides to Dangar Island. We’ve dined across the city, explored the Blue Mountains, and made lifelong friends—both two- and four-legged.

Our goal is simple: to deliver memorable experiences that both you and your pup will love. Some events have a small booking fee with pay-as-you-go options, while others are all-inclusive at a discounted rate for members.

Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to return to the Hunter Valley, venture into the Southern Highlands, and launch our first-ever Dogmas in July – complete with festive outfits and cosy winter vibes. Weekends away and more paw-some adventures await!

Come join the fun — because life’s just better with your dog by your side
