The detail
More about Solo Walks
Built for dogs who do better one-on-one. Their pace. Their walk. Same walker every time.
Reactive on the lead. Recovering from surgery. A senior who needs it slower. An anxious rescue still finding their feet. These are the dogs solo walks are for.
30 minutes for seniors or lower energy. 45 for most. 60 for dogs who want a longer outing. Door-to-door, photo update after every walk.
Solo fit
Is a solo walk right for your dog?
A calmer, more personal option for dogs who need space, steadier handling, or one familiar walker.
Best on solo
A solo walk fits best if your dog:
- Is reactive or anxious around other dogs
- Is senior or recovering from injury / surgery
- Needs a slower, steadier pace
- Has a play style that does not suit a group
- Does better with one familiar handler
Better in Tiny Gang
Tiny Gang is a better fit if your dog:
- Is sociable and enjoys other dogs
- Is small or medium-sized
- Has good on-lead manners
- Would benefit from regular group exercise
Unsure which fits? The free Meet & Greet decides.

Solo Dog Walk FAQs
What Auckland owners ask before booking a one-on-one walker.
How much does a solo dog walk cost in Auckland?
Solo walks start from $45 per walk for a 30-minute outing. A 45-minute walk is $55, and a 60-minute walk is $65. Pickup and drop-off across Auckland Central is included in every booking.
Which dogs is a solo walk best for?
Dogs who are nervous around others, senior, recovering from injury, reactive, or simply better with undivided attention. Also the right starting point for dogs we do not recommend for a pack after assessment.
How long does a solo walk last?
30 minutes for senior or lower-energy dogs. 45 for most routines. 60 for dogs who want a longer outing. Door-to-door, pickup and drop-off included.
Is pickup and drop-off included?
Yes. Free door-to-door across Auckland Central — Mt Eden, Ponsonby, Kingsland, Grey Lynn, Herne Bay and surrounds.
Will my dog get the same walker every time?
Yes. Same face at the door, every walk. That's the whole point of solo walks.
Will you send updates after the walk?
Photos and a short update after every walk. Useful during the workday when you cannot check in yourself.
How do you handle dogs that are reactive or anxious?
We start with a free Meet & Greet at home. Pace, route, and handling adjust to your dog. Calm, positive reinforcement, no forced interactions. If we cannot give your dog a good walk, we will tell you.
Can I book a solo walk as a casual one-off?
Casual solo walks are available at a higher rate. A regular weekly routine is better value — and lets your dog settle into a predictable rhythm.

What our clients say
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
