How it works
We assess carefully, build confidence gradually, and only give dogs the level of freedom they are ready for.
We come to your home and assess properly.
We get to know your dog's temperament, confidence, energy, and routine. Nobody joins until the fit feels right for everyone.
Safe fit before anything startsYour dog settles in at the right pace.
Two assessment walks give us time to introduce the environment properly, support recall, and see what level of handling suits your dog best.
Confidence before more freedomThen the routine starts to work for them.
Some dogs earn off-leash freedom, others stay more managed. Either way, the goal is the same: a dog who comes home calmer, happier, and more settled.

Love Aless! She is so amazing with my slightly hyper and anxious dog. She is great with communication if anything on either of our ends need to change. Archie love his walks, and I love the photos she posts of him.
"
GoodWalk was the best dog walking service for my little pooch ! Aless was very helpful - basically doubled as a second mum to Monty. She always provided feedback on his outings and assisted where possible with any additional training that she felt he could work on and made recommendations where necessary which i feel is what every dog mum wants and needs!
"
Truly the best dog walker in Auckland! I feel so lucky to have found Aless and my little terrier Otis absolutely adores her. He enjoys his regular weekly walks and always comes back happy & tired. Love the updates on social media so I can see how my dog is enjoying his day! Aless makes logistics so easy too. Highly highly recommend, there’s a reason she has 5 stars!
"
Alessandra has been walking and spending time with my pup since she was 10 weeks old, coming over and doing puppy visits through to transitioning her to pack walks with her little doggo friends. I know Alassandra loves and cares for my dog as much as I do and my dog has a great time! Cant recommend enough
A note from Aless Hi, Aless from Goodwalk
Not just dog walking. Goodwalk is built around trust.
What owners notice first
- The same friendly face at the door
- Little groups, never a crowded van
- Updates that help you relax while you are out
Goodwalk started with my own little dog and the kind of relationship I have always had with animals. Growing up in Italy with a German Shepherd, I saw early on how much joy, comfort, personality, and companionship dogs bring into a home. They are not just pets. They become part of your family and your daily life.
When I moved to Auckland, I noticed a lot of dog walking felt rushed, overcrowded, or impersonal, especially for smaller dogs. So I built Goodwalk around the kind of care I would want for my own dog: familiar faces, safe and social little groups, lots of fun, and genuine relationships with every dog we walk.
The Tiny Gang is built around routine, trust, and dogs having the absolute best part of their day together. Older dogs help younger ones settle in, nervous dogs build confidence, and playful dogs get to burn energy with their friends.
You know exactly who is caring for your dog. Your dog knows who is at the door. And you come home to a happy, fulfilled dog that has had a proper adventure. Ready to join the Tiny Gang?

FAQs
Can any dog use your service?
No. Every dog goes through a screening process with a minimum of two assessment walks. We confirm the fit before anything regular starts, and we will say if a different setup would suit your dog better.
How does payment work?
Weekly, in advance, by invoice.
Do you provide a casual service?
Yes, at a higher rate. Regular weekly walks are the best value — and suit most dogs better.
What requirements does my dog need?
A current Auckland Council dog registration, up-to-date vaccinations, and enough comfort around people, handling, and new environments to settle safely into the routine.
Are all dogs off leash on pack walks?
No. Off-leash time is only for dogs with the recall, social behaviour, and confidence to handle it well. We do not assume every dog should have the same level of freedom.
Does my dog need perfect recall before starting?
No. Dogs do not need to arrive fully off-leash ready. We work with each dog at the right pace to build confidence, healthier habits, and the right mindset before more freedom is introduced.
Do you have insurance or First Aid training?
Yes. Public liability insurance and current First Aid certificates — every walker, every walk.
Do I need to leave keys with you?
Usually yes, if no one is home for pickup or drop-off. We sort the best access option together at the Meet & Greet.
What happens if the weather is bad?
We walk in most conditions. If it is genuinely unsafe — heat, storms, flooding — we contact you to reschedule.
