Pet care experience

Flexible and Available

Not only am I a dog lover but also in an endurance athlete. I have owned dogs all of my life and currently have 2 teacup schnauzer and one mini schnauzer. As you can already tell with 3 dogs I have a lot of patients and the endurance to keep up with any pup. I’m self-employed and work from home. Which offers me lots of flexibility. I’ve got great organizational skills that should make scheduling easy and great follow through. If your pups is high energy, I would be the one for you. I love running and four legged furry friends make awesome running buddies. Not only am I excited to offer a service to my community but I hope to build up relationships with it too. Of course I will do this with integrity and transparency with open communication.

Dog Walking • May 21, 2026

Lacks common sense. She put two harnesses on me dog at once. Paid for an hour walk. She only managed to walk her .7 miles on that time. I let it go. I told her I was in the ER to explain why the dog was in the back of the house. Her response “ok got it”. Then she chose the most expensive leash on the hallway hooks and then broke it and all she said was “apologises”. When I said she would have to replace it as it was expensive and was fine this morning (mind you it would be hard for the part that fell off to fall off unless you were messing with it. Stunt puppy is a sturdy leash) then when I told her she would have to replace it. She said she couldn’t afford to, as if I can afford to pay for things she broke. She said she went back to look for the piece but there is not record of her retracing her steps. She has had rude communication style in the past but I let it go. I just feel like if you don’t want to be responsible for someone’s expensive things, then you use the less expensive thing. And if you break someone’s stuff, saying “apologies” and that’s it is not really acceptable.

Simon was wonderful with our dog Piper this week. Piper was comfortable and felt loved while we were away. Very communicative and timely. We will be using Simon again in the future
