Pet care experience

Peace of mind on every level.

I provide attentive, loving in-home care so your pets can stay right where they’re happiest — in their own familiar space while you’re away. I work virtually in the wellness space and naturally bring a calming, grounded presence into the home. Many pet parents tell me they return to relaxed, content animals who clearly felt safe and cared for while they were gone. That peace of mind matters just as much as the care itself. I love staying connected with you while you’re away and am happy to send regular photos and videos, so you can see your pets are doing well and feel close to them even from afar. I’m happy to care for both dogs and cats, as well as other pets in your home. If you have animals in addition to dogs or cats, just let me know and we can discuss their needs. As someone who has worked with several animal rescues throughout my life, I’ve had the privilege of learning dog training techniques and behavioral insights from some of the most respected trainers in their field. Pets want to be related to on their terms, and more than anything, they want to feel safe and secure. These tools allow me to support animals emotionally and help them settle into a calm, peaceful state even while they miss their family. My goal as a sitter is simple: to offer your pets the same love, attention, and emotional safety they experience with their family, so the time apart feels gentle rather than stressful. What I love most about animals? They’re always sincere, they don’t hold grudges, and they always seem to have a trick — or two — up their paw. When I’m not pet sitting, you’ll usually find me enjoying nature, stargazing, baking, or traveling. I’d love to meet you and your pets. If this feels like a good fit, please reach out — I look forward to connecting.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am very watchful of pets, especially when they are outside, on leashes, or around other pets, and aware constantly of where they are at and what they are up to.

Seph was great! We felt our animals were well taken care of during our trip. He is very communicative and you can tell he loves what he does. Will be using him again!

Seph was the best sitter I’ve ever had for Poppy, she totally loved him. He’s kind, patient, accommodating and takes initiative, when we had emergency health issues on our trip. He helped tremendously, he went above and beyond to make our trip less anxiety ridden. I was able yo concentrate on my husband and not worry about our Poppy. We cannot Thank him enough. Truely a compassionate person 🤗🐾💕

Seph did a great job watching our dog, Evie, and our house. She was very comfortable with him, and we're sure his calm energy helped with her anxiety when we leave. He sent regular updates and pictures, and we are appreciative of his professionalism. Will definitely have Seph stay with our girl in the future!

Seph is exceptional! He took such great care of our pups and home. He was super communicative the entire time we were away, sending lots of pictures and updates. We highly recommend Seph and will for sure reach out to him for any futures trips!

Schedule

I am a digital nomad who works from home, when I sit I am going to be mostly home with them during the day while I work, giving them plenty of companionship and plenty of breaks throughout the day.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Seph can host up to 1 pet per night
Before sitting your dog I'd want to know what their personality is like. Do they have any particular likes or dislikes? Are they fearful, bold, or playful? I'd also want to know what their schedule is like so I can be sure to keep to it. I do not have any size or breed restrictions, and I'm also happy to watch some other pets also.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
