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.

Information Seph D. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

When your dog is with me, my focus is on helping them feel calm, secure, and emotionally at ease while you’re away. We’ll still enjoy gentle walks (if that's their thing) and time outside, including unhurried sniffing and exploring, but I’m especially attentive to each dog’s individual temperament and needs. Some pets want activity, others want quiet companionship — and many want both in balance. My intention is always to create an environment where your pet feels safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for, so their time apart from you feels peaceful rather than stressful.

Pets

Peace of mind on every level.

Pet care experience

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.

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 🤗🐾💕
