Pet care experience
I love how I feel when I am around dogs. I feel awake, present, excited, and adventurous. No matter what kind of personality the dog may have, they are so easy to love and relate to. Dogs have been so therapeutic in my life, and I see why so many people have dogs as companions. I always had a dog growing up at home, and I am currently in the market for dog adoption. Dog sitting is a wonderful way to care for dogs while I search for my forever pup. In addition to pups, I have experience owning and caring for cats, snakes, hamsters, and mice. Dogs are certainly my favorite, as they have the most emotional capacity. That being said, I love being around all animals, and would be open to caring for all types. I understand how much dogs become a part of the family. I ensure that each client receives very clear communication from me, and that they know their canine is in good hands. I also make sure I leave my client’s house in better shape than I found it. I would describe myself as kind, playful, and easygoing. I find that bringing those energies to most experiences make life a lot smoother and more enjoyable. It helps me, and helps the people and animals around me too. In my free time, I go walking and running — I’m happiest when I have a dog to bring along with me.
Reviews
Yonatan has been a god send for our puppy. She loves it when he arrives and comes back exercised, and calm. He is great with her a good mix of loving, gentle and also a firm hand, exactly what we wanted for our 6 month old puppy. He is reliable, responsible and a true dog lover. What a great find. We highly recommend Yonatan.
Yonatan is my go to sitter for my cocker spaniel, Ella. She is a very temperamental dog with an anxiety disorder, but I know I can trust Yonatan to provide the specialized care she needs to thrive when I am not around. He won both our trust instantly on our first meeting with his compassionate nature and pocketful of organic dog treats. Cannot recommend him enough!

Information Yonatan T. would like to know about your pet
I think earning a dog’s trust is very important first step. In meet and greets, using treats as incentive for connecting can be very helpful. I would like to know how they get along with strangers and other dogs. I find it helpful to meet them for the first time in their home, to get acquainted with the family and dog. I don't have a breed preference — all are welcome.
A typical day
Every morning I go for a run. If your pup is fit for running, I would love to bring her along. Otherwise, I would take her on a long walk after her breakfast. After the walk, we would spend some time at home playing and snuggling. We would do another afternoon walk followed by dinner. I love Lake Merrit as it's right next to my house. I also love driving up to Tilden Park, and there are a lot of dog parks near me as well. There are so many beautiful parks to explore in the East Bay, and I love bringing dogs along with me. Being able to play with dogs all day long — whether inside or outside — is my dream job. I love dogs so much, and treat each dog as if they were my own.
