Our story

Who we are

Alessandra started Goodwalk because she could not find a walker she trusted. So she became one.

She walks every dog herself. Posts photos to Instagram so you can see your dog's day. Knows some of the Tiny Gang from ten weeks old.

Thirty-plus five-star Google reviews say the same thing: the dogs adore her, and their owners finally stop worrying.

What we stand for

How we do things

Calm handling. Positive reinforcement. A walker who already knows your dog. Same principles, every walk.

Small packs because attention matters. Free pickup and drop-off because your day should not work around us. First aid certified. Public liability insured. That part is not negotiable.

Meet Aless,
the heart of Goodwalk Meet Aless, the heart of Goodwalk

Italian-born, Auckland Central-based. Alessandra leads every walk herself — not because she has to. Because she will not hand that off.

The dogs she walks have her full attention. Their owners have her number.

Maya is the reason small dogs sit at the centre of everything. A Cavalier King Charles cross Shih Tzu. Opinionated. Dramatic in the rain. Completely impossible to ignore on a walk — and the best argument we have for building a service around small dogs, not one that just makes room for them.

FAQ

Questions about Goodwalk

Who actually walks my dog?

Alessandra. Every walk. We are not a platform or an agency — you always know who is at the door.

Why do you specialise in small dogs?

Small dogs need different pace, different group dynamics, different handling. Goodwalk was built around that — not adapted from a generic dog-walking model.

How big are your packs?

4 to 8 dogs. Always. Smaller packs mean better supervision and dogs that come home settled, not overstimulated.

What is a Meet & Greet?

A free, no-pressure introduction at your home. Ask anything. See how your dog responds. Decide if Goodwalk is the right fit — either way, no obligation.

What suburbs do you cover?

We cover most of Auckland Central including Ponsonby, Grey Lynn, Mt Eden, Kingsland, Morningside, Sandringham, Mt Albert, Mt Roskill, Herne Bay, Freemans Bay, Pt Chevalier, Remuera, Greenlane, Onehunga, Balmoral, and more. If you are nearby and unsure, just ask.

Are your walkers insured and first-aid trained?

Yes. Public liability insurance and current pet first aid certificates. Your dog is covered from pickup to drop-off.

What does onboarding look like?

A free Meet & Greet at home, then a minimum of two assessment walks. We only confirm a regular slot once we know the fit is right — for your dog and for the pack.
