In-home visit From $39 / visit Auckland Central
Walked by Alessandra · Pet first aid certified · Public liability insured
Start well. Grow well.
Calm routines now. A smoother Tiny Gang later.
Early routines that pay off later
Familiarity, confidence, and handling habits built before your puppy is ready for bigger adventures.
A calmer start with Goodwalk
Your puppy learns us early, in a familiar environment. The transition into walks later is smooth, not sudden.
Why Puppy Visits matter early
The puppy stage moves fast. Daytime visits help now, and build routines that make later life easier.
Fewer long stretches alone
Regular visits break up the day. Toilet timing handled. Company, care, comfort — while you are out.
Foundations for Tiny Gang later
For puppies who'll join Tiny Gang later, early visits build the confidence and routines that make the next step smooth.
A calmer puppy at home
Play, enrichment, and routine burn puppy energy the right way. The rest of the day is more settled.
Support for busy owners too
Real help when puppies are learning fast. Guidance from someone who's been through this stage with dozens of dogs.
Early habits, shaped right
Visits reinforce calm handling, routine, and engagement — before small habits turn into bigger problems.
A personal start with Goodwalk
Your puppy learns us early. Trust builds. The transition into other Goodwalk services feels natural, not new.
The detail
More about Puppy Visits
A visit means a toilet break, fresh water, a feed if scheduled, play, and calm settling time before we leave. Photo update lands in your phone.
Short visits beat long walks while your puppy is growing. Vets recommend low-impact exercise until growth plates settle — usually 12 to 18 months. Visits give them company and stimulation without the joint stress.
Visits are also where Goodwalk usually starts. We know your puppy early, so the move to solo walks or Tiny Gang later is smooth.

Puppy Visit FAQs
What Auckland puppy owners ask before booking a home visit.
How much does a puppy visit cost in Auckland?
Puppy Visits start from $39 per 20-minute visit. A 45-minute visit is $49 and a 60-minute visit is $55. Visits cover toilet breaks, feeding if scheduled, play, and calm one-on-one attention in your home.
How young can my puppy start with a visit?
From 8 to 10 weeks. Early visits focus on calm handling, gentle company, and easy routine support — not formal training. They work even before full vaccination.
What actually happens during a Puppy Visit?
Toilet break. Fresh water. Calm play or settle time. Gentle handling. Feeding or routine support if you have asked for it. Photos and a short update after every visit.
How long is each visit?
20 minutes for shorter midday support. 45 minutes for most puppies. 60 minutes if your pup needs more time.
Do you take my puppy outside the house?
In-home only until full vaccination. After that, short calm outings can be added. We never take young puppies on group walks — that comes later, if and when they are ready.
Will I get the same person each visit?
Yes. Consistency matters most for puppies. Same trusted handler at the door, every time.
Can Puppy Visits lead into Tiny Gang Pack Walks later?
Exactly what they're for. By the time your puppy is old enough, we already know them. The next step is smooth, not new.
Do I need to be home for the visit?
No. Most visits happen while owners are at work. Key access, lockboxes, or smart-lock entry — sorted at the Meet & Greet.

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
