Availability
I work with dogs every day and bring my own two, Lucky and Lainie, with me to work. While my schedule is consistent throughout the week, I’m able to offer some flexibility and I'm currently most available on Sundays and Mondays.

About Esteban C.
Safety, trust & environment
At this time, I’m unable to host clients’ pets in my home or stay at their home. I hope to offer this options in the future and appreciate your understanding.
Information Esteban C. would like to know about your pet
First impressions are important for both people and their pets. Please share as much information as possible about your dog, including likes and dislikes, allergies, medications, behavior around other dogs or people, any physical concerns (such as hip or joint issues), and preferred treats. While I’ll continue learning your dog’s needs over time, having detailed information before our first visit helps ensure a safe, comfortable, and positive experience from the start.
A typical day
Based on your dog’s personality, preferences, and comfort level, I offer a variety of engaging activities, including stimulating walks, visits to local parks, beach walks or runs, fetch sessions, and plenty of affection and downtime. Dog park visits are also an option with owner approval and appropriate behavior. No matter the activity, my goal is to ensure your dog has a safe, enriching, and enjoyable experience while staying active and well cared for.

Pet care experience
I’ve been a dog owner for many years and have three years of professional experience working at a dog daycare facility. In that role, I’ve been trained in pack walks, structured solo walks, enrichment activities, and a wide range of services related to daycare and overnight care. I’m committed to creating a safe, positive environment for both dogs and their owners. I’ve also been trained by professional dog trainers and earned in-house certifications in areas such as managing aggressive behavior, separation anxiety, canine behavior, and basic dog health and symptom recognition. Additionally, I have experience managing large groups of 10 or more dogs of varying sizes and breeds.
Reviews
’ve worked alongside Esteban at a doggy daycare/boarding facility where he has been a dependable and punctual team member in a busy dog-care environment. He is efficient, organized, and comfortable handling the routines and responsibilities that come with working around multiple dogs throughout the day. He shows up ready to work and follows through on what’s needed, which is important in a fast-paced setting. I’m glad to support him as he expands his animal care experience!!
Esteban "Esto" has watched our pup, "Loki", on numerous occasions - too many to count. We affectionately cool him "Uncle Esto" to our pup. He loves going over to see "Uncle Esto". He is so good with all of the dogs that he cares for. He is also a good trainer and he keeps the pups on a tight regimen - I think that's due to his military background - we love it! I cannot tell you how much you and your pups will love spending time with "Uncle Esto". You will not be sorry. Enjoy!
If you're looking for someone who truly speaks dog, Esto is your person. Working with animals comes instinctively to him, and he’s always had a natural way of caring for and communicating with dogs of all ages and temperaments. He brings a calm, patient energy that animals (and humans!) immediately respond to. He’s also completed formal training and even had his own pup certified, so he really knows what he’s doing. What I appreciate most about Esto is that he doesn’t just love dogs - he respects them, and the feeling is mutual. I’ve seen firsthand how he treats every dog like his own, taking the time to understand their personality and needs. Our pup, Gaia, is ecstatic whenever she’s with him, which says it all and gives us the best peace of mind. We’re always looking forward to the next playdate and can’t thank Esto enough for all that he does.
