Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong cat dad at your service!
I've had cats since I was a child and am absolutely nuts about them. I specialize in taking care of any and all kinds of kitties. I've had over one year of experience with Rover and watching felines on a regular basis and it's been a pleasure. I can handle just about any situation. I fully understand it’s their world and we happen to co-habitat with them. There hasn’t been a cat I’ve met who I couldn’t get to warm up to me… eventually. Well, maybe one or two. But even then, I'll be "tolerated". Sometime you just need to let them do their thing and they come to you! Owner knows best, so I am at your kitty’s service 🙇♂️🐈🐈⬛😽 I see around 6-8 cats on a busy day generally, so I just ask for a few hours flexibility with the timing for visits as my schedule fills up often. However, I will try to stick to the agreed upon time slot as closely as I can. I'll always text with updates if requested or if things hit a snag during the day. I almost aways respond to new requests with in a few minutes, but occasionally it may take longer than 30-60 minutes. I WILL ANSWER YOUR REQUEST REGARDLESS. Thanks for looking at my sitter profile and reading my reviews. I look forward to getting a chance to meet both you, and your furry friend soon!

Safety, trust & environment
As far as dogs go, I can really only accommodate drop in visits and walks since Ive got two cats at home (It's been YEARS since they've had a dog brother). But long walks are always on the table! For cats, it's basically the same. I've got experience with feeding time, play time and UGH litter time. As I've said felines are my speciality, and I'm good at finding the best ways to engage and take care of your kitties.
Ratings and reviews
Sebastian was kind and caring with our boy Theo. Upon first meeting through our vaca he was good at listening to everything we needed for our boy, and gave thorough updates throughout. I’d definitely book him again. He’s great!
We always know our cars are in good hands with Sebastian!

I am a repeat client of Sebastian, the Cat Whisperer, and I honestly do not know what I would do without him. He is gentle, kind, professional, mindful, and truly wonderful with my two biggie boys: Pumpkin and Wally. Pumpkin, my ginger boy, loved Sebastian from the beginning. If you know gingers, then you already know their personalties: gingers love everyone 🧡🧡😻😻. But, Wally, my gray/silver boy, is a shadow cat whom takes time to trust people. Through the many photographs Sebastian sent twice daily, I could see Wally inching closer and closer to him. This confirms what I already knew: Sebastian is the perfect sitter for my boys. Beyond his caring personality, Sebastian pays attention to all the little details: cleaning out the litter box, cleaning their food bowls, sweeping litter and keeping everything clean and organized. Most importantly, Sebastian gives me complete peace of mind. I am a nervous wreck when I leave my cats, and, knowing they are in Sebastian’s care allows me to breathe and relax!! I highly recommend Sebastian to anyone looking for a thoughtful, reliable and truly caring cat sitter. Five 🌟 from Pumpkin, Wally and me. We wish we could give a billion 🌟!! Sebastian, thank you so much!! 😻🧡🩶
Sebastian did a great job taking care of our two cats for a few days. This is actually the second time we used him and we plan on booking him again in the future. The cats were well taken care of and he even very kindly watered our plants a few times. Sebastian is a wonderful cat sitter and I would not hesitate to recommend him to others.
Sebastian is highly recommended by our cats and us humans alike. Very communicative and professional every time he does drop-in visits in our apartment.

Schedule
I used to work in the film biz and since it's been quite slow, and I've been cat sitting on Rover for over one year basically full time. Outside of caring for my own cats, I care for roughly 4-5 cats per week full time on a rotating basis. Available 24/7.
- CatsSebastian can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
- My experience with dogs is pretty limited so dogs who get along with most people are best. Younger dogs are more my speed, but I'm ok with seniors as well. Best they get on with other dogs as well. Cats, the more detailed your instructions, the better!
