About Sebastian A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
At Silly Moose & Co, my care philosophy is built on the cycle of Walk. Wag. Repeat. I believe that a happy pet is one that feels safe, stimulated, and understood. Here is how I ensure your furry family member gets the best experience: 1. Building Trust Through Patience Every pet has a unique "vibe." Drawing from my experience with Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, I never force a connection. I use "slow blinks" with cats and respectful body language with dogs to let them come to me. Whether they are shy rescues or high-energy "Silly Mooses," I meet them where they are. 2. Structured Walks & Sensory Play As a Letter Carrier, I know the streets like the back of my hand. I don’t just "walk" dogs; I provide structured outings. This includes sniffing breaks for mental stimulation (sensory play) and consistent pacing to ensure they get the physical exercise they need. 3. Meticulous Routine & Safety Pets thrive on consistency. I stick strictly to your feeding, medication, and bathroom schedules. My background in hospitality means I have a sharp eye for detail—I check water bowls, ensure gates are latched, and keep litter boxes "deep-clean" fresh for my feline clients. 4. Communication is Key I know how much you miss them! You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can see the "Wag" in action. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own, ensuring everything is secure and tidy. 5. Specialized Skills From handling "bully breeds" like my Staffy, Buttercup, to administering medications or even bathing a reluctant cat, I have the hands-on experience to handle the unexpected with a calm, steady hand.
Information Sebastian A. would like to know about your pet
Before any booking, I like to get to know your pet’s unique personality and routine. Every dog and cat is different — and understanding those details helps me give them the best care possible. Please let me know about: • Their daily routine (feeding times, walk schedule, favorite toys) • Any medical needs, allergies, or medications • Triggers or sensitivities (loud noises, other dogs, strangers, etc.) • How they do on walks (leash behavior, reactivity, preferred routes) • Their comfort level with new people or pets • Any house rules or training cues you’d like me to follow The more I know, the more I can make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved — just like they do with you.
A typical day
I believe that "fun" should be tailored to the pet’s personality. Whether they are a high-energy athlete or a professional couch potato, I make sure their time with me is the highlight of their day! For the Adventurous Dogs: "Sniffari" Walks: As a Letter Carrier, I know all the best local spots! I lead "sniffaris" where dogs get to follow their noses, providing vital mental stimulation that tires them out more than a sprint. Structured Play: We’ll work on fetch, "find the treat" games, or basic command reinforcement to keep their minds sharp. Photo Shoots: Drawing on my background as a shelter photographer, I love capturing "action shots" of your pup's adventures to send to you! For the Feline Overlords: Laser & Wand Hunting: Engaging that natural prey drive with interactive play sessions. Sensory Enrichment: From catnip-marinated toys to "cat cinema" (watching birds from a secure window), I keep their indoor life exciting. Quality Cuddle Time: For the more refined cat, I offer dedicated lap time and expert chin scratches. For the "Underdogs" & Seniors: Low-Impact Movement: Gentle strolls and "people watching" from a comfortable park bench. Puzzle Work: Using snuffle mats or treat dispensers to keep them engaged without overexerting their joints. The "Decompression" Session: Sometimes the most fun activity is just sitting quietly together in the sun, providing the companionship they crave. No matter the activity, the goal is always the same: Walk. Wag. Repeat!

Silly Moose & Co: Walk. Wag. Repeat
Pet care experience
Walk. Wag. Repeat. 🐾 Hi, I’m Sebastian! Animals have always been the center of my world, and my business, Silly Moose & Co, is named in honor of my late, beloved dog, Layla. Her nickname was "Silly Moose," and she taught me everything about patience, unconditional love, and the joy of a wagging tail. I founded this business to carry on her legacy by treating every pet I meet with that same "Moose-sized" love. 📬 The "Pet's Best Friend" Professional By day, I’m a Letter Carrier, which truly makes me a pet's best friend! I’m out in the community every day, rain or shine, and I’ve mastered the art of making friends with every pup on the block. My career means I am exceptionally reliable, punctual, and used to being active in all types of weather. 🐾 Rescue-Tested Experience When I’m not on my route, I’m dedicated to rescue work. I am a current volunteer at Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, and I previously spent time with the ASPCA as a shelter walker and dog photographer. These roles have given me invaluable experience with all personality types—from the shyest "underdogs" needing a patient hand to high-energy pups ready for an adventure. 🐈⬛ Tailored Care for Cats While the dogs are out walking, the feline family members aren't forgotten! I offer tailored services specifically for cats. As a "servant" to two cats who rule my own home, I know that every cat is unique—whether they want high-energy laser chasing, gentle brushing, or just some quiet company. I’m happy to handle feedings, litter box maintenance, and plenty of "slow blinks." 🏠 My "Moose" Crew at Home My home is shared with Buttercup, my sweet 5-year-old blue nose Staffordshire Terrier, and my two feline house-rulers. Because I live with a Staffy, I am especially comfortable and experienced with "bully breeds" and larger, powerful dogs. 🤝 The Silly Moose Promise Whether it’s boarding, walking, or house sitting, I know your pets are your family. My background in hospitality and community work means I bring a high level of reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication to every booking. Ready to start the cycle? Let’s Walk. Wag. Repeat.
