Highlights
Pet care experience
A worthwhile experience for all!
With every dog I care for, I genuinely try to spend a lot of time with it whether it be playing or sitting and relaxing, rather than just letting it roam around by itself. I am an extremely active person as I was a 4 year athlete at the University of Virginia in the States but do also love my relaxation to chill and get comfortable when needed, meaning I am very capable of matching the highs and lows of the dogs energy. When in high school I cared for our neighbors’ dog very frequently for a couple years and cared for other dogs for different families here and there. I have received nothing but positive feedback and tried to continue my efforts in college but time management with school and a sport was very difficult. I know how important a pet can be to someone as I had lost my puppy in 2014 in a bad accident, so I try my best to treat every dog as if it was my own. I hope I get the chance to care for your dog! Have a nice day!

Simeon is grand! Lovely guy, took my girls for a lovely walk with lots of contact and photos. Punctual and very friendly, would definitely book again 🤗
Simeon was absolutely fantastic! My dog Baloo has severe separation anxiety but with Simeon's expertcare what I thought was going to be a nightmare turn out to be stress free and enjoyable for both Baloo and I. Simeon made sure that Baloo had all the exercise and attention that he needed as well as a very flexible schedule for drop-off and pick-up that worked around my chaotic work schedule. I would definitely recommend him personally to anybody looking for someone to care for their pet like they would themselves!
Simeon was thoughtful and seemed to really enjoy spending time with our pets (esp. the dogs) while we were away for a long weekend. He sent a lot of videos and pics every day, and was flexible to stay longer if need be when our flights home kept getting delayed due to weather. Our pets don’t like thunder and it was nice to know he was there with them during the storm. He was very responsive and accessible via Rover app, text or email.
Simeon is a great dog sitter!! He watched my two puppies for two days while i was gone and i felt totally comfortable leaving them with him. He sent me videos and pictures of them periodically which i loved and it also reassured me that they were safe and well taken care of. Would definitely recommend him to a friend as a dog sitter!!
I few months ago, Simeon O took care of my dog Bentley while I was back home from college for a week during spring break. I live in Atlanta, so it wasn’t feasible to take Bentley home with me for the week. While I was worried about leaving him, Simeon made sure to put all of my worries to rest. Bentley is a rescue so he has some anxiety issues; he cannot be left inside for long periods of time and needs frequent exercise. Since Simeon is already a very active person, he took Bentley out for walks and runs even more often than I am able to during the school year. Before leaving for the week, I also informed Simeon that Bentley doesn’t like to be left alone in the apartment for long and that he has severe anxiety during thunderstorms. Simeon frequently sent me updates on how Bentley was doing, which showed me his dedication in spending time with Bentley. Unfortunately, while I was gone there was some rain in Charlottesville. Bentley is most comfortable during storms when he is wearing his thunder jacket and Simeon made it a point to put him in it and stay with him through the storm so he did not feel as anxious. Overall, when I got home Bentley was honestly happier than I had seen him in a while! When I picked him up from Simeon’s apartment, it was difficult to get him to leave. I honestly believe that through Simeon’s dedication and care, he built a special relationship with my dog, and I couldn’t have been more grateful for Simeon’s attention to detail and love for animals. I would highly recommend Simeon to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
Simeon O is an extremely trustworthy and caring person. He took care of my dog Shaggy last summer for a week and did an amazing job. My dog is 13 years old and has pancreatitis so he must be walked and fed a more strict diet. Simeon was able to take on the responsibility and give daily updates. He made sure when we returned my dog was already fed and walked that same day. He even cleaned the doggy dishes and left a sweet note! Would highly recommend!

Schedule
I am currently working part time so I sill have plenty of time to meet the needs of the pup and also work around a good schedule for yourself
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I can easily crate your dog if needed and will always be nearby it so they don’t do anything or go anywhere that they are not supposed to. I will heavily monitor them
A typical day
Whether it be in the city center or somewhere more rural your dog will certainly have the space and time it needs to stretch it’s legs. I have a few tennis balls as well if they do not have their own that I can throw for them to play with. Otherwise, in the house I can play, chill, cuddle, and relax with them.
