Lead Astray Melbourne

Amanda and Lenny have been walking our little dog for over a year now. It’s definitely the highlight of her day and she loves Amanda and Lenny, plus her little crew. Amanda is reliable, communicative and excellent with all animals. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We refer friends to her regularly and will continue to do so. Fabulous.

Thank you Amanda and Lenny! My partner and I have been using Amanda for about 2 years now and can’t recommend her enough! Our mixed breed (wired hair pointer x cattle dog) is quite high energy and can be a bit of a handful at times. Amanda is excellent with her and has matched her perfectly with other dogs on walks. It’s always great coming home from work to such a happy dog!

We love the service Amanda and Lenny have provided our little dog, Betty. She’s a happier, confident and more social dog thanks to the attentive walks and adventures Amanda takes her on. Every day we look forward to the Instagram photos and updates we receive from Amanda, letting us know what Betty's been up to. We’ve been using her services for over a year and Betty truly loves Amanda and the group of doggy friends she's made. Amanda also cuddles our cat when she picks up Betty. So good.

I cannot recommend Amanda highly enough. Her patience and humour is invaluable in helping the dogs in her care. Amanda has been walking our dog for several years now, and the group walks have built her confidence and social skills immensely. She can now pick the sound of Amanda’s van in the street and if a delivery van has the same engine they get a very excited and enthusiastic welcome. Lenny is an absolute darling and is utterly adored by our pup.

Amanda and Lenny were an amazing find 2 years ago - I can't recommend them highly enough. Amanda really has a way with dogs and has so much calm patience and love for her work. Our rescue pup Tess has been through a few challenging phases and Amanda has been a godsend. She is full of helpful advise, honesty and is the only group walker I've heard of where your dog actually comes back better behaved as well as exercised, calm and well socialised. She gets to know each dog as an individual and takes the time to match groups to ensure a stress free adventure for all involved. Oh and don't get me started on the incredible photos - they need to be seen to be believed!!

Highly recommend Amanda (& Lenny) to any dog owner & their dogs! Very professional & reliable, genuinely adores animals & will look after your pet as if her own. Have 2 dogs with completely different temperaments & needs and Amanda has been fantastic at exercising and caring for them. Also helping with some home visits when an emergency arose & I needed her professional assistance. Charlie & Murphy love hanging out with Amanda, a true animal expert.

Amanda and Lenny are professional dog walkers, they have insurance and an awesome custom built van to transport the daily walkers. They only walk four dogs at any time and Amanda assesses your dog on a couple of occasions first and then matches your dog with other dogs that she knows they will get along with. Our dog Rothko fills us in everyday about his new daily adventures; they go to a different place nearly every day, the forest, parks, new places to swim and great places to explore. Rothko is always pooped when he gets home and is always very happy.We've found Amanda to be very trustworthy and professional. Lenny, Amanda's dog and PA, is an extremely friendly and sensitive dog who gets along with everyone. Amanda puts daily photos on Instagram so you can checkout your dogs happiness. We highly recommend Lead Astray.

Amanda has been walking our 3 year-old Labrador Markus for over 2 years now and we couldn't be happier with her quality of service. As my partner and I work full-time it brings us peace of mind to know Markus is having a good run-around with Amanda and her other 'clients.' Markus is always so tired after he goes out with Amanda which is exactly what we want! Also, when Amanda takes Markus for a swim he always returns home clean. We have tried other popular dog walkers but find Amanda to be the most trustworthy and provide a consistent quality service. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Amanda is amazing. Our dog loves her more than anyone else we know - he will sprint 300m across the park if he sees or hears her (often to my total confusion as to why my dog has bolted off - something he never ordinarily does). She takes incredible care of our hound whenever she walks him. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Best dog walking service in Melbourne. Amanda from Lead Astray has walked our dog for two plus years now, and he's the happiest and healthiest he's ever been thanks to the attention and exercise he gets from LA while we're at work. I highly recommend this service - particularly if you want to keep you pooch happy, social and well adjusted.
