Your dog's best friend.

Pet care experience

I'm a friend of all dogs, recently retired from a 30+ year military career in the British Royal Navy. I now live and work from home in a lovely, modern apartment in Alexandria (Alexan Florence). My workday is very flexible and typically ends at noon, as I wake early and work on British time. I walk everywhere and make sure to get my 10,000 steps a day...I'd love to have your dog along with me.

Simon is wonderful! Genuine care and attention was given to our Maggy all day. Looking forward to next time!

Marcie had a great time and was so well taken care of and loved during her stay with Simon. She got lots of walks and treats. I knew she was in great hands the entire time!

Simon is the best dog walker ever! Our puppy adores Simon, and is so excited when it is time for his midday walk. Simon’s attention to detail, communication, and care for Winston is what sets him apart from other dog walkers! We are so grateful for Simon and for his help in getting our puppy out on walks and socialized!

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment building is very pet friendly and there are safe places to walk right outside. Any dog in my care would be with me the entire time. My apartment is about 600 sq ft and without clutter. Your dog will also enjoy sweeping views of the Potomac from the 4th floor!

Information Simon H. would like to know about your pet

My preference is for small dogs that have some house training, but, equally, can also very happily accept characterful dogs that show a little mischief!

A typical day

We will have a nice walk out and about and, if needs be, either go to the riverfront or to one of the public parks nearby.

I do travel with my current job for about 10 days/month which means I cannot have my own pets, so dog sitting is ideal. I will spoil your dog with lots of affection, walks and play!
