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.

What owners notice first
Happier dogs. Calmer evenings. A routine that feels easier to trust and easier to keep.
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

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. Puppies start with visits at home until they are ready to join a pack.
Pack walks give dogs the company of a well-matched group, steady exercise, and the social time that keeps them happy and settled.
Pickup and drop-off are included.

FAQs
Can any dog use your service?
We welcome small, medium, and gentle dogs who enjoy a bit of company on their walks. To keep our groups safe and happy, we don't take on any dog with a history of biting or aggressive behaviour.
How does payment work?
You'll receive an invoice on Tuesdays for the week.
Do you provide a casual service?
Yes, depending on availability.
What requirements does my dog need?
A current Auckland Council dog registration and up-to-date vaccinations.
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?
Leave us a key or a lockbox.
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.
How do you train or handle the dogs?
We use positive reinforcement only, rewarding calm, confident behaviour rather than correcting with fear or force. It keeps every dog relaxed and builds trust with their walker over time.
