Cesar with his Shiba Inus
🐾 Dog Dad x3

Welcome to the Pack!

I'm Cesar — dog lover, self-proclaimed dog whisperer, and the person behind Zoomies Elevated Co. I grew up with a pup by my side at all times, so one day I thought: why not share the love and take care of yours too?

My family used to run a vet care clinic — medical care, grooming, doggy sitting, you name it. I spent my childhood helping around and caring for all types of pets and every breed of dog you can imagine.

At home, I've got two Shiba Inus and a Golden Retriever that I love and take on adventures constantly. Our favorite thing? Getting puppuccinos from Starbucks. ☕

I work full-time from home, so I'm super flexible — all I need is an internet connection if you'd like me to house sit during the weekdays. If your dog doesn't get along with others, no problem — I can accommodate them one-on-one. And if you're nearby, I can arrange pick-up and drop-off. Accessibility is my motto: text, email, or call me anytime!

We also accommodate special requests to make your life easier and ensure your dog is cared for in any setting. Whether it's handling your dog during weddings, baptisms, or other special occasions, or coordinating pick-up and drop-off services when needed, we provide flexible, reliable support tailored to your schedule.

Real-World Results, Not Just Commands

With over a decade of hands-on experience working with animals, and more than six years focused on behavior correction and impulse control, my training approach is designed for lasting, real-world results. I use a refined balance of positive reinforcement and structured discipline, allowing each dog to develop not only obedience, but clarity, confidence, and emotional control.

From loose-leash walking and reliable recall to resolving anxiety, food and animal aggression, and poor house habits, every program is tailored to the individual dog. The focus goes beyond commands. I work to redirect your dog's attention back to you, building trust, respect, and a natural willingness to follow your lead.

The result is a calm, balanced, and responsive dog that thrives in any environment — at home, outdoors, and in everyday life.

"If you are looking for someone that will show love and patience to your fury friend I would 100 percent book with Cesar! Cesar would send daily pictures of our boys enjoying their walk to the park. It's safe to say we found someone who we can trust with our boys."

"I've never had a better dog sitter. Very knowledgeable and confident. I have a reactive dog and he wasn't afraid or concerned at all. He took Archie out on adventures and updated me each time. When I got home he was WORN OUT. Thank you Cesar!"

"I brought my dog Millie to Cesar for training and had a great experience. She was a little nervous at first, but his dogs were calm and friendly, which helped her feel comfortable right away. After just a few days, she came back more obedient and easier to handle. I know there is still work to do, but Cesar gave me the tools to keep improving. I am really happy with the results and highly recommend Cesar and his pack."

"Cesar is amazing! Our Yuki was a strong puller and very reactive to some noises and other dogs that were not her pack. It was difficult to take her outside or to any dog parks. He took her in for a week, sent us daily pictures and video updates. We were surprised to see videos of her walking on and off leash, playing with other dogs and overall being a good girl. We have followed his instructions to continue training at home, it has been months since her training and she is the most amazing girl! Thank you so much Cesar!!"
