Little Dog Chateaux

Ceslie has been in my dog Odie’s life for only a few weeks, and I (we) couldn’t be happier. After a less than awesome experience with another doggie daycare, I decided to try Little Dog Chateaux after seeing Ceslie in the neighborhood with her adorable pack!
I was instantly impressed with Ceslie’s amazing communication skills, updates, flexibility and compassion for my pup’s «isms» (leash puller, territory protector, tummy issues, generally emo about being home alone).
Ceslie has a natural intuition with dogs. Knows how to earn their love and trust, and show them an awesome time!
I couldn’t ask for anything more!

I never thought I could afford the luxury of a dog caretaker (she does WAAAYY more than walk my dogs) until my husband asked me to research Ceslie/​Little Dog Chateaux. As many of my neighbours can attest, I have special dogs — one with extreme separation anxiety and incessant barking. The other is a senior I just adopted a year ago who was barely potty trained and aggressive with other dogs and the occasional. Since Ceslie started working with my dogs, their barking, accidents, door chewing, and aggression have nearly disappeared. They are relaxed when left alone and well exercised once she’s had them out. Ceslie does not cut any corners, as do some dog walkers I’ve seen around. She maximises their time out and the best things about her is how IN TUNE she is to their moods, quirks, and any «off» behaviour. The fact that she’s in the neighbourhood (a block away from our house) is also a huge bonus. I locked myself out of the house one day and she was there in less than a minute to let me in with her own key. I trust her 100% to dogsit and housesit when we are away — honestly, she’s a part of our family at this point! Her endless energy, delight in my dogs, and attention to my whole family makes me wonder what life was like before she came into our lives. Whether your dog is a piece of cake or a piece of work, look no further than Ceslie to make a GENUINE difference in your family’s life.

Ceslie and her gang of pups will save your day! Look no further than LDC to take care of your furry kids.

I was looking for someone to take care of my Cat when I went to Mexico for vacation, my client told me about Ceslie who is a Dog Walker /​Pet Boarding in the City. I called here and she was very enthusiastic on the phone, and made me feel very comfortable about watching my Cat. When I brought my Cat Coco to her, she was so great .My cat came out of her carrier, and went right to Ceslie. I was so (Happy) to know I have a wonderful Cat sitter for future vacations, my cat was happy as well, she didn’t act out when I brought her home, I think she misses Ceslie.

What a relief to finally find an affordable, RELIABLE dog walker in San Francisco!
I was looking for a dog walker who could come walk my little guy, Charlie, on weeknights when I find myself working late. If my day starts getting hectic I can text Ceslie and she comes over with very little notice. I’ve never found a dog walker so tech savvy and responsive. Plus, she uses online payments so I don’t have to worry about having cash.
I quickly realized how great Ceslie was and asked her if she could start coming consistently every Monday and Wednesday night around dinner time. Sometimes I wish I could ask her to just come everyday because my dog gets so much more exercise with her! Plus, like another review on here said, she brings her own dogs along sometimes which helps my dog’s social issues. (Photo attached.) Of course she asked first if this was okay, and she didn’t bring them until maybe the 6^th or 7^th time she had walked Charlie.
Lastly — what’s better than receiving an email summary showing the GPS of where they walked with photos attached?

We are so glad we found Ceslie to walk our 3yr old, 60lb rescue, Maggie. Maggie started developing issues walking with other dogs and needed individual walks. Ceslie met Maggie, assessed our situation and agreed to walk Maggie on solo walks at first. Then, she helped us by walking Maggie with her own dog to help re-​socialize Maggie with other dogs.
Ceslie is awesome, communicative and keeps us updated on Maggie’s progress. We are so fortunate to have found Ceslie. Best of all, she has the doggie log and a backup if she goes on vacation or is not available! Talk about reliable service! Thumbs up!

Ceslie is the best! She watched our little dachshund (who takes a lot to warm up) over the weekend and I could not have been more pleased with her care and communication while we were away. Not only did our little one warm right up to her positivity it was great getting texts on how she was doing with updates on everything that was happening. Little Dog Chateaux and Ceclie are now our go to! Highly recommended!

Ceslie is simply the best! I was so nervous entrusting my timid rescue pup to someone else, but with the hours I work I just couldn’t bear Bella being alone that long everyday. Ceslie won her over so quickly and now Bella has transformed into a whole new pup! She was always strange around other pups — mostly scared but then acts like a weirdo — and she refused to hang out in dog parks — hated them with a passion, insisted I pick her up! Now she’s a group walker! She loves her pack friends! AND Ceslie got her acclimated to the dog park! I am amazed. Not to mention, when I get the Doggy Log email while I’m at work, I’m the proudest Mom on earth and am beaming from ear to ear just knowing how happy Bella is and I have peace of mind knowing Ceslie is 100% trustworthy. She is also flexible and really easy to talk to. She just understands dogs! She always texts me additional pictures, keeps me updated on how Bella is doing, and is always thinking about the pups, even when she had a broken finger! She’s so sweet and reliable and will take amazing care of your baby — take it from a rescue-​Mom :) Thanks Ceslie! Bella will see you next week :)

Here you are, agonizing over who you will entrust with the important task of caring for your furry family member during your long days working for the man…
RELAX, you problem is solved.
Ceslie of Little Dog Chateaux has been walking our pride and joy, Penny for about 2 months and she has far exceed our hopes and expectations. Ceslie is reliable, knowledgeable, flexible and extremely communicative. Ceslie even uses an app called Doggy Logs that allows you to see how far your pup walked, where they went, and when they got dropped off, so you can plan the best time to get home to them. Ceslie’s rates are better than the rest of the pack as well!

You won’t find anyone better than Ceslie for your pups! She is so sweet and compassionate, she sends constant updates with pictures and makes sure your fur babies have a blast anytime they’re with her.
We had Ceslie come stay at our place with our pups while we were away for what was supposed to be a few days, unfortunately our flight had troubles getting us home on time and set us back by a day, luckily Ceslie was super flexible and had no problem staying an extra night while we tried to make our way back.
We can’t imagine trusting anyone with our babies more than her!

Ceslie is great with my beloved girl. She sends cute pics and videos of her playing and takes her to various dog parks and places to walk. She is also very flexible with the schedule and her rates are reasonable. She always responds to emails and text messages right away as well. I’m very happy with her services!

Ceslie is absolutely the best. I have a large English Mastiff (200lbs) and she handles him like a pro. I first moved to the city from a much more rural setting and my dog was having trouble adjusting to the massive increase in humans, other dogs, large trucks and crazy people. Ceslie got him socialized and handling the city in no time! Now he can walk through even the busiest of areas. She thoroughly impressed me with her ability to handle large breed dogs. In addition, Ceslie is always on time, very professional, easy to contact and she sends me updates every day about how their walk went. I wouldn’t trust my dog to anyone else!

Thank God for Ceslie!
I have had several dog walkers for my pups in NYC and when I moved here I was so lucky to have found Ceslie. She is kind and compassionate, and takes exceptional care of my two dogs. She walks them 5 days a week and often takes them to Ocean Beach, Fort Funston, and Gold Gate Park. She has stayed at my home to watch them and sent frequent updates (which was amazing and made it so that I could totally relax and know they were in good hands).
Ceslie is the most trusted dog walker I have ever had. She is very responsive on text and is always sending me updates and checking in with me to let me know how my girls are doing. I have never had a dog walker who is so on top of things!

I can’t say enough good things about Ceslie! She looks after oskie — my big yorkie with an even bigger personality. Oskie isn’t great with a bunch of large dogs and vans, so Ceslie takes the time to walk him with other small dogs in nearby locations. She is incredibly flexible, attentive, and dependable– and I can tell oskie absolutely loves her and she goes above and beyond to make sure he gets enough time outside. I get updates, pictures, and a tired dog when I get home. Best dog walker ever.

Our two dogs love, love, love Ceslie!!! This is really saying something. They are not well adjusted Golden Retriever type dogs who like everyone, they are rescue doxies who have human trust and separation anxiety issues. Outside of our adult children, Ceslie is the only person who they like and are excited to see. She is so kind and nurturing and they both really trust her. She is able to take them on walks and they stay with her while we are out of town and they are actually happy and relaxed! We get lots of pictures and updates and she answers texts and calls right away. We can honestly say that Ceslie is the first person we have left them with and not felt guilty or worried. If you are looking for someone to care for your dogs, whether it is for walks or overnight stays, look no further — you and your dog will love her!

Ceslie is such a fantastic dog walker!
3 Reasons Why:
1) Takes my dog to great locations (Ocean beach, Crissy field, Funston)
2) Extremely flexible (I can text her day before or day of sometimes)
3) Sends me pics on my cell whenever she takes my dog
I would highly recommend her!

Ceslie has been stopping by to take my Great Dane out M-​F for about 2 months now. She is super flexible with my schedule to make sure that he is always taken care of, and he just adores her. It’s wonderful to know that someone is stopping in to check on him and make sure that he has an opportunity to go out during the day. She is super responsive to texts and emails, and always lets me know what time he last went potty. He is a little scared about living in the city with all the people and the cars, and having such a dependable routine has really helped him (and me!) get more comfortable.

Ceslie has been a great dog walker! She is very reliable, easy going, and always accessible. I do not know what else you could ask for in a dog walker. I trust and depend on her regularly for my 6 year old chocolate lab.
I have been using her monday-​friday for months!

Ceslie has been taking care of my 4 month old Beagle named Stitch for over a month and she is terrific! She shows him a tremendous amount of affection and he always has a blast when he’s out and about. He also enjoys going out with her 2 daschunds (they go on mini field trips to the beach, Palace of Fine Arts, etc) and this is GREAT because my pup comes home popped and ready for a nap!
She’s also helping us crate train, and is very flexible with my work schedule which I appreciate. Stitch LOVES her and I’m sure enjoys seeing her come by every afternoon for his afternoon walk!

Excellent pet care offered at an affordable price! Highly recommended!
