Former dog groomers and vet tech!

Pet care experience

I am a former dog groomer and vet tech with one dog (Golden Retriever) and 3 cats. Brian is also a former groomer (that's actually how we met over 20 years ago!). We have a large house in Antioch with a medium sized fenced yard and side yards. We believe in outside play and long walks, but we ultimately think dogs belong inside the home with the family. Our former pets include a Doberman Pinscher, a Samoyed (who lived to be 19), a number of Persians, a sassy Siamese, a Labrador/Collie mix, and our current Golden Retriever Rocky and 3 mixed short haired cats - Duchess, Oranges and Më. We both freelance from home, Brian is an artist and writer and I am a translator. We both have very flexible schedules - and between the two of us, someone is always home with the animals. Through Rover, we have found ourselves enjoying once again the strong connections we make with pets and their owners - and we look forward to meeting you!

My dogs love Esther and Brian! They have a great time at their house and I know that they are both relaxed and having fun with other dogs during doggie daycare. One of my dogs has special needs and I know that he’s in good hands!

So attentive with our dogs! One of my dogs has a disability and is currently injured so there were a couple extra steps to doing a drop-in visit. Sent lots of photos and detailed the visit, will be using again!

Brian and Esther took very good care of my Lab. Our meet and greet was at their house which was important to me as I wanted to see where Flash would spend time when I was away. During boarding period, they stay in touch and provide regular updates via text and photos . I highly recommend them and have been a repeat customer.

Information Esther P. would like to know about your pet

We do appreciate knowing beforehand of any extreme separation anxiety.

A typical day

We have a nearby walking trail and park which we visit each morning and night. Because our dog Rocky never tires of catch, hes' always trying to lure boarders in with one of the many many tennis balls laying around the yard and house. At the end of each day, we often wind down with a show or two on Netflix - humans on the couch, everyone else on one of the many beds or blankets usually piled up around us.
