Pet care experience
🇬🇧 Society Hill Dog Walker 💙
🐾 Calm, Reliable, Premium In-Home Care for Philadelphia Dogs Hi, I’m Sebastian — the owner of Here For You & Them, a boutique pet-care service built around calm energy, structure, and genuine reliability. My clients trust me because I provide something rare: consistent, one-on-one care from the same person every time, with a truly professional approach. I’m not a high-volume dog walker. I focus on personalized, attentive, premium care for dogs who thrive with routine and for families who value complete peace of mind. ⸻ 🐶 A Lifelong Connection to Animals My love for animals started early, growing up with two beloved dogs who shaped how I care today: • George, a Jack Russell–Staffy mix who was at my side for 17 years • Polly, a pure Staffy who lived joyfully with lifelong disabilities I’ve cared for all types of pets over the years — ducks, guinea pigs, and countless dogs, each with their own personality and needs. During lockdown in London, I became known locally for my calm presence and consistency. Now in Philadelphia, it’s been a privilege to continue offering that same level of thoughtful, steady care to families across Society Hill, Old City, Dockside, Queen Village, and Center City. ⸻ 🏙 Trusted by Busy Professionals Who Need Reliability Many of the families I support are doctors, researchers, scientists, lawyers, and executives with demanding schedules. They rely on me because: • I show up every time, no matter the weather • I communicate clearly and proactively • I follow routines exactly as instructed • I bring calm, grounded energy to every visit • I treat homes and dogs with genuine respect This isn’t “just a walk.” It’s complete peace of mind while you’re at work or traveling. ⸻ 📌 My Services & Rates 🐕 Dog Walking • 30-minute walk: $35 • 60-minute structured walk: $55 • Additional dog: +$10 (2-dog limit for calm, controlled handling) Every walk is tailored to your dog — whether that means focused exercise, gentle pacing, enrichment, or anxiety-aware handling. ⸻ 🐾 Drop-In Visits • 30-minute visit: $35 • 60-minute visit: $55 • Additional dog: +$10 • Cat care available Includes feeding, fresh water, medication (if needed), structured walking, litter/yard checks, and a calm presence for pets who need reassurance. ⸻ 🏡 Overnight House Sitting Your dog stays at home, sleeps in their own bed, and follows their exact routine with someone they trust. • Standard overnight: $250/night • Holiday overnight: $275/night • Additional dog: +$10/night • 2-dog maximum You receive updates, photos, and complete adherence to instructions. I also keep your home tidy, manage lights/trash, and maintain your pet’s normal rhythm. ⸻ 💙 Why Pet Parents Choose HFYT • Calm, grounding energy • Structure + consistency • Professional communication • Total reliability • Boutique, one-on-one service • Fully insured, LLC-operated • Trusted by families across Philadelphia • 22+ years of hands-on experience If you’re looking for a sitter who genuinely cares, communicates clearly, and treats your dog like family, I’d love to meet you. ⸻ 🐾💙 Currently Accepting One New Family If you’re reading this, I currently have one opening for a new client. I’d be honored to support you and your dog.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I care for your pet in your home, my priority is creating a peaceful, familiar environment where they feel secure, understood, and relaxed. I honor their established routine — feeding, walks, rest, medication, and comfort rituals — to maintain emotional stability and minimize stress while you’re away. Every detail matters. I follow your care notes with precision, including medical instructions and sensitivity guidelines, ensuring nothing is overlooked. You will receive thoughtful photo and video updates so you always feel connected and confident in your pet’s wellbeing. Your home is treated with the highest level of respect — discreet, clean, and cared for with intention. I leave everything exactly as I found it, if not more organized, so you return to a calm space and a happy companion. My approach is grounded in trust, emotional awareness, and patience. Whether supporting an anxious pup, gently assisting a senior dog, or keeping a sensitive pet engaged and comforted, I tailor care to their emotional and physical needs. The result is a seamless, elevated experience — pets feel safe and understood, and owners feel fully supported and at ease.
Ratings and reviews
Sebastian is very responsive and flexible. My daughter has used him for years and her and her dog Love Sebastian! Great communication and wonderful care for my animals. Thank you Sebastian!!
Sebastian is amazing! He truly loves what he does and it shows. He is my go to guy when I need help with my pets! I highly recommend.
With advance apologies to all other Rover care providers, Sebastián is the absolute BEST dog walker I've ever hired from Rover, and best all around pet carer. I have two very energetic dogs (and a tiny cat who hides from absolutely everybody- EXCEPT Sebastián??!!) He goes well above reasonable expectations and shows genuine affection for the animals. Recommended with no hesitations, he's a consummate professional. Trustworthy, punctual, polite. :)
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Sebastián. He has been incredibly caring, consistently on time, and exceptionally communicative. I truly couldn’t have trusted anyone else with my baby for his walks. Sebastián’s commitment to quality shows in everything he does, and the level of care he provides is absolutely top-notch. He is reliable, trustworthy, thoughtful, and genuinely attentive. Knowing that my dog is in his hands gives me complete peace of mind every single day. I am very much looking forward to continuing with him, and I could not recommend him more. Sebastián is simply outstanding in every way
I cannot emphasize how well Sebastián takes care of Misha. He’s incredibly cordial and communicative, always sending updates and lovely photographs of her. Moreover, Sebastián is genuinely very attentive to his surroundings (even to needle pins hidden in carpeted halls haha), which I very much appreciate as we live in an area with high foot traffic. I definitely recommend him — he is as much as a wonderful friend to your pet as a sitter.
Sebastian is the best Dog sitter you could ask for, he took an extraordinary loving care for my toy poodle baby, with tons of picture and video updates. Ensuring his safety and his comfort. I couldnt have asked for better help with my busy scheduale. He remained very professional and on time during each and every steo which matters immensely. Always communicated every step, need and love and care. Thank you BIG time for what you do for our fur babies!
