Hello, I'm Stephen! I've been an avid dog lover since the moment I was born. Since then I've been sitting, boarding, and walking all the dogs that my friends have. I have experience from Australian Shepherds to little Rat Terriers, and adore all dogs of all shapes and sizes. It's been exciting getting to know all the different personalities these little guys can bring. I believe in having fun with puppers, but also demonstrating discipline with much love. It'd be a terrific pleasure to walk your dog and get to know another great thing that's a part of this world, thanks!

“I can’t wait to walk your dog!”
I have grown up with dogs all my life. I have had two dogs during my lifetime, Jasper and Summer. With some help from my parents and siblings, I fed and walked my dogs daily. I got the "dog care" merit badge when I was a boy scout. I love all animals, but dogs have a special spot in my heart.

Hello. My name is Cathy and I have been a Wag walker since March 2019. I’ve completed almost 300 walks and have enjoyed meeting and getting to know so many dogs. I grew up with family pets and know what an important part they play within the family. We have two boys and the time will come when we get a dog of our own. Being a Wag walker has been a great experience. I enjoy being outside in our great community and also knowing I’m helping families and their well-loved pets.

Dog Boarding in Antioch
The beautiful city of Antioch, located in California’s Contra Costa County, is a great place to own a dog. With so many wide, open spaces and several wonderful dog parks, it’s no wonder that an estimated 25,000 dog owners call Antioch home.
Happily, it also means there are plenty of animal lovers ready and willing to pitch in to help out dogs in need. Homeless Animals Lifeline Organization (H.A.L.O) is the oldest all-breed dog and cat rescue group in eastern Contra Costa County. Founded in 2001, it’s successfully placed more than 10,000 unwanted dogs and cats into loving forever homes, giving them a second chance at life when all appeared to be lost.
Homeless Animals Response Program (H.A.R.P.) is another paw-some group serving the dogs of East Contra Costa County. An all-volunteer organization, its mission is to put an end to the pet overpopulation problem by rescuing and rehoming unwanted animals, running spay and neuter programs, and providing essential education services to the wider community.
Animal Rescue Recon (ARR) is also dedicated to saving the lives of unwanted dogs in this part of California. Since its first adoption in 2012, ARR has successfully rehomed almost 1,000 dogs. It specializes in rescuing at-risk dogs from local shelters and finding them loving, permanent homes. So whenever any dog in Antioch falls on hard times, there are always plenty of animal lovers ready to come to the rescue.
