Without the right routine 01

By the end of the day, everything feels harder than it should.

Your dog still has energy to burn, you are carrying guilt through the workday, and home does not feel as calm as it could.

  • A dog who is restless, wired, or harder to settle at home
  • A workday shaped by guilt, logistics, and wondering how they are doing
  • Too much uncertainty around who is picking up your dog and what the walk will be like
With Goodwalk 02

A good walk changes you & your dogs whole evening.

Your dog comes home happier, the routine feels lighter, and you are not spending the day second-guessing whether they are okay.

  • A walker your dog recognises and is happy to see at the door
  • Small-group or one-on-one care that genuinely suits your dog
  • Clear updates, calmer evenings, and one less thing sitting on your mind
What we stand for

The values behind every walk

Kind handling, small groups, proper safety training, and honest communication — not extras, just how Goodwalk works.

Safety-first by default

Pet first aid, careful screening, and proactive handling are built into every walk, not added on as a nice extra.

Small Pack Sizes

With just 4-8 dogs per group, walks stay calm, structured, and manageable, with enough attention for every dog.

Reliable pickup, clear communication

You should not have to chase your dog walker. We keep things consistent, communicate clearly, and make the practical side feel easy.

Calm, kind handling

We use positive reinforcement, gentle handling, and patient routines so dogs build confidence instead of stress.

Daily updates you will actually want

You get to see your dog out enjoying the day, which means less wondering and more peace of mind while you're at work.

Built for real schedules

We specialise in regular walks, but we know life changes. Give us notice and we'll do our best to help keep things running smoothly.

Getting started

How it works

We keep the start simple and calm. First we meet your dog properly. Then we ease them into a routine that feels right.

We start with a proper Meet & Greet

You get to show us your dog, talk through routine and temperament, and make sure the fit feels right before anything starts.

No pressure, just clarity
Settle 02

Your dog settles in without being rushed

We use assessment walks to build confidence, get the pacing right, and make sure your dog feels comfortable before moving into a regular spot.

A smoother start for nervous dogs
Thrive 03

Then the routine starts doing its job

Once your dog is settled, the week gets easier. They come home happier, evenings feel calmer, and you stop carrying the same guilt through the workday.

What owners notice first

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

A note from Aless

Hi, Welcome to Goodwalk.

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?

All dogs that are onboarded with us must go through our screening process, which includes a minimum of two assessment walks.

How does payment work?

All walks are paid for a week in advance, via invoice.

Do you provide a casual service?

Yes, we do offer casual rates, but they are priced higher. The best value for money is regular walks.

What requirements does my dog need?

All dogs onboarding with Goodwalk need to have a current Auckland Council dog registration and be up to date with vaccinations to ensure the health and safety of other dogs.

Do you have insurance or First Aid training?

All walkers are covered by public liability insurance, and all walkers hold a current First Aid training certificate.

Do I need to leave keys with you?

Usually, yes, if no one will be home when we collect or return your dog. We can go over the best option for access during your Meet & Greet.

What happens if the weather is bad?

We operate in all weather conditions, except when there is a danger to the dog's health and safety.
