Goodwalk · Auckland dog walking
Calm, dependable weekday care with familiar walkers, carefully matched groups, and pickup and drop-off included. Your dog gets a brilliant day out. You get one less thing to worry about.
We know every dog by name, personality, and routine. That is how we make each walk feel safe, social, and genuinely worth looking forward to.
Small, carefully matched groups give social dogs room to play, explore, and come home ready to settle.
For social dogs who enjoy good company, outdoor adventures, and coming home happily tired.
For nervous dogs, senior dogs, and little personalities who do better with extra attention.
Early puppy visits that build confidence, routine, and good habits for whatever comes next.
We assess carefully, introduce the routine gradually, and handle every dog in the way that suits them best.
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 startsTwo assessment walks give us time to introduce the environment properly, support recall, and see what level of handling suits your dog best.
A pace that suits your dogEvery dog is handled at the level that suits them best, with the same outcome in mind: they come home calmer, happier, and more settled.
Calmer dogs, healthier mindsetNo obligation. We reply within 24 hours.

Dogs are introduced thoughtfully based on temperament, confidence, energy, and social fit. Small and medium only.
You should never have to chase your walker.
Happier dogs. Calmer evenings. A routine that feels easier to trust and easier to keep.
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
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.
Our pack walks are built around routine, trust, and dogs having the best part of their day together. Older dogs help younger ones settle in, nervous dogs build confidence, and playful dogs burn energy with their friends.
You know exactly who is caring for your dog. Your dog knows who is at the door. You come home to a happy, fulfilled dog that has had a proper adventure.
Ready to That is the Goodwalk difference.

The same calm face at the door, the same trusted routine for your dog.
We cover most of Auckland Central's suburbs:
Regular walks across the inner-west and nearby suburbs.
Live in a nearby suburb? There's a good chance we can still help.
Monday to Friday, 8am - 4pm.
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.
Weekly, in advance, by invoice.
Yes, at a higher rate. Regular weekly walks are the best value — and suit most dogs better.
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.
No. We choose on-leash or off-leash handling based on each dog's recall, social behaviour, confidence, and surroundings.
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.
Yes. Public liability insurance and current First Aid certificates — every walker, every walk.
Usually yes, if no one is home for pickup or drop-off. We sort the best access option together at the Meet & Greet.
We walk in most conditions. If it is genuinely unsafe — heat, storms, flooding — we contact you to reschedule.
A few details. We reply within 24 hours to set up your free, no-obligation Meet & Greet.
