I originally met Esmeralda through Rover when I had to go for surgery with an overnight stay. I needed someone on very short notice to take care of my dog and rabbit and hit the jackpot with Esme. Since then she has been my dog's groomer as well, and I could not be happier. Esme is smart, experienced, confident, and an all-around great person who truly cares about animals (and people). A++ for both pet sitting and grooming!!

Esmeralda is extremely knowledgeable and confident. I have a 100-pound Bernese Mountain Dog who is a year and a half old and takes a long time to warm up to new people, especially while on leash. At first, I was honestly very concerned about anyone walking her because of her size and demeanor.
Esmeralda has been working with my dog three times a week for the past two months, and she has done absolutely amazing. She is incredibly knowledgeable when it comes to leash-reactive dogs, and her energy is so calm and warming — dogs truly respond to her.
My dog warmed up to her within minutes during our first meet and greet. We were sitting on the couch, and I was honestly amazed watching how naturally they connected. Within the first five minutes, Esmeralda was able to calmly kneel down and give my dog a gentle kiss on the nose — something I never expected to see so quickly.
I couldn’t have asked for a better handler for my big girl. Thank you so much, Esme!

What a great service!! Esmeralda Picked up Ron, our mini bernedoodle, groomed him at her place and brought him back looking better than he has ever looked! Ron doesn't love to be groomed but Esme is so sweet & patient and really knows how to handle difficult dogs. I appreciate her willingness to work with him!
