Pet care experience
I have my own dog walking business in Berkeley, Albany, MeowMutts- I used to manage the video store at the top of Solano in Berkeley- well known and respected in the community. I provide safe, fun solo neighborhood walks as well as living drop in visits and attentive house sitting- with many many references upon request! I also have a background working for a non profit animal rescue called The Milo Foundation. I took some vet tech training classes as well, so am familiar with giving animals meds if needed. I love being outside walking dogs all day everyday- it’s healing for the soul and dogs are the very best of company! I have had experience taking care of all types of critters, and I look forward to walking your pup!
Reviews
Amanda has been taking care of Gus for several years now. Gus, my husband and I love her! She has walked him when we needed a last minute day-walker. Our usual request is for Amanda to stay at our house while we are away. She is always on time, follows directions for the care of Gus, and keeps us informed while out of the area/country. We have 3 trips planned this year and Amanda has agreed to all of them.
Amanda has been a dog walker for my large hound, Jake, for the past year. She is incredibly reliable, sensitive to his needs and reactions to other dogs and I have recommended her to other friends who have dogs. She is reliable, conscientious and totally trustworthy. Joanne Wile

Information Amanda B. would like to know about your pet
Id like to know what their overall temperment is, around other dogs, and people. If they are leash aggressive at all, or any other behavioral issues that are important to know. I like to know if they have separation anxiety, and if so what kind of treats/activities can soothe them while their owners are away. I also like to know how they are off leash/whether or not they can go to parks. Are they crate trained? Food and diet requirements, as some dogs have food allergies. I don't have any breed preferences, I love all dogs equally :)
A typical day
I enjoy neighborhood walks with the dogs I stay with and let them lead the way. I also have a car and am able to take them to dog parks if they are allowed to do so.
