Safety, trust & environment

Unfortunately I cannot board pets in my home because one of my roommates is allergic, so I'd love to take care of your pets in your home! Additionally, caring for them in their own space reduces the stress caused by your absence. I'm happy to work from your home during the day, providing them the attention and activity needed to keep them happy.

Information Cesar S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup has any triggers, specific command words, medical needs, likes/dislikes, and habits/behaviors to look out for or interrupt. In short, help me give them a fun, stress-free time :)

A typical day

Walks! Around the neighborhood and on the trails. Dog park visits for pups who are well socialized and calmer (e.g. few or no other dogs) settings for reactive ones. They can also tag along while I run errands and sniff new places and things.

Oakland native and pet lover!

Pet care experience

Hello! I grew up with German shepherds and absolutely love big dogs (my last one was 120 lbs). As a kid I often pet sat for neighbors- furry, scaly, and feathered varieties. I worked as a dog walker for Wag! back in 2015 and had many glowing reviews (I'm trying to regain access to those). I am well practiced with large and/or reactive dogs. My last GSD was extremely dog reactive (and occasionally people reactive) due to some early life trauma and I spent our 9 years together working with him to reduce stressors. In addition to this, a few of the dogs I walked with Wag! were stranger/male reactive, and I was able to gain their trust relatively quickly and without incident. I achieved this by maintaining a calm, easeful presence until they eventually calmed down and became curious about the strange human just chilling in their home. I appreciated the trust granted me by the parents, but I deeply appreciated the trust I eventually won from the pets.

Took very good care of my house and my dog and cat while I was gone. Was very communicative and responsive and I got lots of pictures and videos!

This was our second booking with Cesar and he did a great job with our pets! He was very communicative, sent us great pet photos and left the house in great shape.

Cesar is so great! He was so patient with my anxious and reactive boy. He let my pup take his time warming up to him and eventually won him over with some cuddles! Cesar was very communicative and left my house very clean! Thank you, Cesar!

Cesar was amazing! We had a last minute cancellation prior to an international trip and were totally freaked out and he immediately put our minds at ease from the first meeting. He kept us updated with photos and left our place impeccable. Sunshine seemed to warm right up to him. Highly recommend!
