What owners notice first

Happier dogs. Calmer evenings. A routine that feels easier to trust and easier to keep.

Getting started

How it works

A Meet & Greet and two assessment walks help us find the right service, group and pace for your dog.

Free Meet & Greet Assessment walks Regular weekly slot
Meet 01

Tell us about your dog and their routine.

We meet your dog at home and learn about their temperament, confidence, energy and handling needs before recommending a service.

Meet at home first
Settle 02

We introduce the routine gradually.

Two assessment walks give us time to introduce the environment properly, support recall, and see what level of handling suits your dog best.

Prepared for each walk

Pet first aid certification, public liability insurance and handling based on each dog’s needs.

Carefully matched groups

Dogs are introduced thoughtfully based on temperament, confidence, energy, and social fit. Small and medium only.

Direct communication

You receive clear updates about the walk and any schedule changes.

A note from Aless Alessandra, Goodwalk founder

A familiar routine for your dog. Clear routines, familiar handling and direct communication.

What owners can expect
  • A familiar walker at the door
  • Groups limited to 4–8 dogs
  • Photos and an update after the walk

We collect your dog, take them out for proper exercise and bring them home ready to settle.

Small groups are matched by temperament, confidence, energy and social fit. Solo walks give dogs who need more space the walker’s full attention.

Familiar walkers and regular updates mean you know who has your dog and how their outing went.

Pickup and drop-off are included.

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. We choose on-leash or off-leash handling based on each dog's recall, social behaviour, confidence, and surroundings.

Does my dog need perfect recall before starting?

No. Dogs do not need to arrive ready for off-leash walks. We work with each dog at the right pace and use the handling approach that keeps them comfortable and safe.

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.
