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!

“Hey bud!”
I just moved north from southern California. My current living situation does not allow for dogs, so I am hoping to satiate my need to be around dogs by helping walk yours. I grew up with Great Danes, but that does not mean I have any prejudices against other smaller breeds. My eldest dog had Addison's disease, so I am pretty well versed in medicating pets. I look forward to meeting you and your fury friends!

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.
