Hi, I’m Stevie, the owner and care provider behind Hound & Home. I’ve spent years working hands-on with animals of all kinds, and I’ve always been drawn to the bonds that comes with caring for pets in their own homes. I understand how personal it feels to leave your pets and your home in someone else’s care, and I take that responsibility seriously.

My background in pet care includes daily dog walking, in-home pet sitting, and overnight care for a wide range of animals, each with their own routines, personalities, and needs. I focus on calm, consistent care that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while their people are away.

I approach every visit with attention, respect, and reliability — whether it’s a daily walk, a quick check-in, or staying overnight to keep things running smoothly. My goal is simple: to provide thoughtful care that gives you peace of mind and keeps your pets happy, safe, and right at home.

My Approach

Safety First

Safety is at the core of how I care for pets. I stay aware of my surroundings at all times, avoid interactions with unfamiliar people and animals, and practice proper leash management on every walk. No scrolling while we’re strolling! Pets have my full attention so I can anticipate and respond to what’s happening around us in real time. I’ve done extensive research in reading body language and am adept at adjusting pace or routes as needed. I am certified in pet CPR and first aid, providing an added layer of preparedness on every visit.

Report Cards

Every visit includes a thoughtful report card so you know exactly how things went. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I’ll share a summary of activities along with photo updates. These reports provide peace of mind and help keep you connected to your pet and home while you’re away.

Photo Updates

Photos are shared after every visit to give you a clear picture of how things went. I capture natural moments during care whether it’s a calm walk, a cozy check-in, or an evening at home. To ensure you can see how your pet or home is doing in real time.
