A day on Adventure

Not a day in a pen. A day out.

Here’s what your dog’s Adventure looks like, from your front door and back.

Services & prices

One price. A whole day out.

The Adventure is our answer to day care. Need something shorter? We do solo walks and home visits too.

Second dog from the same home is half price · Adventures run on weekdays · Weekend walks and visits +$20 · No lock-in contracts

The honest comparison

Same idea as day care. A much better day.

Our two labs go on Chilly's adventures and love it. Jess went out of her way to get to know our dogs, build trust with them (and us!) and really thought about the right group for them to join so everyone could be free & happy.

My Riley absolutely loves Jess! Jess is punctual and super helpful when I’m going to be late home from work. Couldn’t recommend Chilly’s more than I already have!

Jess has been walking my dog Daisy regularly and has even taken her on a few adventure trips. She absolutely loves it! Very professional and reliable service.

Chilly’s has been an absolute life saver! Whether I’m working late or can’t be bothered, Jess always arrives on time and my dog is now so obsessed with her! 10/10 would use 1000 times over.

My dog gets more excited to see Jess than me these days! If you’re looking for the best dog walker in the business, look no further.

An honest fit check

Is your dog an Adventure dog?

Adventures aren’t for every dog, and that’s why the dogs who come love it. Not sure? That’s what the free meet & greet is for.

Perfect if your dog…

  • Loves being outdoors and exploring
  • Is social and friendly with other dogs
  • Has energy to burn and comes home needing a nap
  • Is up to date on vaccinations, flea and worm treatment

Maybe not yet if your dog…

  • Is reactive towards other dogs (try a solo walk instead)
  • Isn’t fully vaccinated yet (a home visit works in the meantime)
  • Needs constant one-on-one care
Where we go

Across Melbourne, door to door.

We pick up and drop off in 60+ suburbs across six councils. A little further out? A small travel fee may apply, so just ask.

Quick answers

Good questions, quick answers.

How is this different from dog day care?

Instead of a day in an indoor pen, your dog gets 2 to 3 hours door to door, van ride included, in secure, privately hired fields with a small, temperament-matched group. Then home for a big nap.

How much is an Adventure?

$79 per Adventure, pick-up and drop-off included. Adventures run on weekdays, a second dog from the same home is half price, and there are no memberships or lock-in contracts.

Is my dog a good fit?

Adventures suit social dogs who love being outdoors. Dogs who aren’t keen on other dogs often do brilliantly on solo walks instead, and we’ll tell you honestly at the free meet & greet.

Where do you pick up from?

Your front door, across Bayside, Glen Eira, Kingston, Monash, Port Phillip and Stonnington. A little further out? A small travel fee may apply, so just ask.

Do you also do walks?

Yes, including weekends. Solo walks are $70 for 45 minutes or $80 for 60, and home visits are $70 or $80 (weekends +$20).

How will I know how their day went?

You get photo and video updates after every Adventure, straight to your phone.

Ready for a tired, happy dog?

Book a free meet & greet. We’ll come to you, meet your dog and find the right fit. No pressure, no lock-in contracts.
