Dog Walker Recommendations?

Hi All -

I am moving to Northwest Berkeley in July and looking for recommendations for fantastic dog walkers for our 40 lb Australian Cattle Dog - we live in the city right now and have a walker that picks her up and brings her for a romp in an off leash dog park for an hour or more, looking for something equivalent to this in the east bay. Any recs?

Thanks so much in advance!
Best,

Emily

Emily, 

I live in that neighborhood -- your best bet would be to join your neighborhood nextdoor group which are thriving around here. There you can connect with walkers (many!), sitters, pet groups etc. Most people around here have dogs, so it is a vibrant, prolific part of neighborhood life. If you have not moved yet, you can request a nextdoor postcard sign-up which is clunky, but works.

Hi, I recommend Derby Dogs. They take dogs for pack walks and have a lot of experience with herding-breed dogs. They're great people and my dog was a happy pup when she was being walked by them.

We love our dog walker Tammy, her number is 510-734-3831. We have a high-maintenance dog who can't be around other dogs, so she walks him separately, but she also takes a group of dogs to the off-leash area at inspiration point. Good luck!

We have used In Their Element for 4 years. Off leash trail hikes in the east bay hills. Can’t recommend Glenn and his walkers more highly! Tell him Susannah Santee (Junebug’s mom) sent you!

Welcome to the East side!!

Hi Emily,

We are also in NW Berkeley, and we have the most fantastic dog walker, Alyssa.  She picks her up and takes her for 1.5+ hour adventures at the Albany bulb, Cesar Chavez park and Pt Isabel (mostly the bulb).  She is the epitome of a dog lover, responsible and very personable too.  Best of all, she's affordable compared to the going rate for off leash.  Our picky, very energetic dog LOVES her and comes back exhausted and happy.  Contact her at 510-326-4251.  Welcome to the East Bay!

Hi Emily,

We have hired Angel Geringer of Dogs Unleashed (http://www.dogsunleashed.net) for our dog Bo, a hound mix with lots of energy. Sadly, Bo has passed on, but Angel was great with him -- gave him lots of exercise and took good care of him.

If you communicate with Angel, please tell her that Linda (Bo's person) says hi.

Good luck,

Linda
