Pet care experience

I love all animals!

I love all animals, but when it comes to dogs, I especially love pugs, pitbulls and chihuahuas! I've worked with animals my entire life, both personally and professionally. A lot of my experience comes from being a pet parent myself. However, I have also provided foster care to bully breeds to prevent them from going into shelters, assisted with multiple puppy/kitten births and cared for elderly pets with daily medications or mobility difficulties. I am patient with nervous pets and have been called a pet whisperer from time to time.

Safety, trust & environment

I can take your fur babies for a walk if there is a park nearby that is ok for them to go to. I am also willing to drive them to other parks if desired. My car is very dog friendly and can offer comfortable transport for large breeds. If allowed they can even have windows down to sniff the air as we drive around. For cats, I am happy to arrange at home care according to your needs. My cats occasionally get supervised outside time on the patio or we go for a leashed walk at a quiet park, so if your cat is allowed on outside adventures, this is no issue for me.

Sebastian was wonderful with our two dogs over the July 4th weekend! He took great care of them, kept us updated, and it was clear they were happy and well loved while we were away. We also came home to a clean, well-kept house, which we really appreciated. We’d absolutely trust Sebastian with our boys again and highly recommend him!

Great care once again from Sebastian. This time we just needed drop in visits for our kitty, Olive, and he came through on short notice. Great peace of mind knowing Olive was getting love and care while we were away. And we always get great pics. Thanks again!

Sebastian was amazing! We had to book last minute with two very spirited pups. Sebastian was super accommodating and even showed up an hour early to hang out with our boys while we packed. Sebastian was totally un-phased by our big guy's food aggression and had no trouble getting them their meals. Every picture that was sent the boys looked like they were having a blast playing and snuggling! We plan to use Sebastian in the future and will recommend them to anyone that needs any help with their animals.

Sebastian took great care of our pets and left our home sparkling clean. He gave us regular updates with great pictures. My son asked if he was a professional pet photographer! We especially enjoyed the cartoon drawing of Halo he left as a surprise for us. Thanks, Sebastian!

Sebastian is an exceptional dog sitter who took incredible care of our two elderly dogs. He communicated effectively and went above and beyond our expectations. I felt completely at ease knowing that our dogs were in capable hands. Sebastian is professional, clean, and detail-oriented in his care. He managed to administer medications and feed our hypoglycemic dog at the right times, ensuring their health and well-being. He was also incredibly loving, attentive, and gentle with our dogs and kept the house very tidy. We recently moved here from Texas and were initially hesitant to hire a new sitter because we had a long-standing relationship with our previous one. However, Sebastian proved to be the absolute best, putting my mind at ease with regular updates and photos. If you’re looking for a kind, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter, I highly recommend Sebastian.

Sebastian has been so kind and professional taking care of Chopi. He made a real connection with Chopi and has our sincere appreciation for taking care of him for two weeks. I'd recommend Sebastian to anyone looking for care for a senior, fussy dog.

I understand that animals can be wary of strangers, so I will respect their boundaries as they warm up to my presence. Please let me know if they have any favorite activities, and I'll be sure to incorporate them into our time together :)
