Pet care experience
I've had dogs all my life until recently. They were all cocker spaniels and working cockers. The last one left me a few months ago. All of my dogs have been well trained and were part of the family so these are the dogs I love the most. If you need me to continue with basic training, I’m very happy to do that. I work from home so can give my attention to your dog full time. I’m equally happy with active dogs or ones that just want to sleep all day. I’m easily distracted by adorable pets and your dog will certainly enjoy being with me. I am surrounded by green spaces so really spoiled for places to walk your dog. I have a decent sized garden too; if running for a ball is your dog’s thing, I’m your man. When the dog is in my home we’ll play together most of the time. I might even teach your dog a trick or two if you wish. It will certainly get my undivided attention as I look after just one dog at a time. Whilst your dog is with me, I’ll send you as many photos as you wish. I do insist on having what is called a "Meet & Greet" before looking after your dog, as this is a great way to see if there is a good fit before booking. Please just promise me that your dog is house trained and won’t eat my furniture!

I am so happy to have found Simon and Yolanda, they are both lovely people - our puppy Mungo seems to have a fantastic time in their care, he always has a big grin on his face when I pick him up. Simon often shares pictures and updates throughout the day so I know how he’s getting on. I know he is safe and very well-looked after, especially given Simon & Yolanda’s experience caring for dogs of any age. Thank you so much for your time and energy spent in looking after him so far, and I’m sure he’s looking forward to hanging out again soon!
Really easy to set up, felt instantly reassured when he asked about meeting our pup first so he wasn't a new scary stranger to her! All instructions about kongs etc were followed and it looks like she had lots of fuss play too. Would definitely use again, thank you Simon!
Jasper enjoyed his time with Simon and his wife. Upon contacting we arranged to meet at short notice to make sure Jasper took to him, which was no problem at all. Simon is very knowledgeable about dogs and Jasper was very calm around him from the start, Jasper is very attached to me and I was dumbfounded how happy he was to go to Simon, I didn't even hear him bark as I left! I will certainly be booking with Simon again in the future. Thank you Simon!
Always feel comfortable leaving Finley with Simon, they get on great and I get home to a very happy dog :)

I look after your dog as you would yourself. This means that if you want me to walk only on the lead I will. If your dog doesn't like other dogs I'll keep it well away too.

Information Simon A. would like to know about your pet
Has your dog been trained at all? Does it walk to heel, sit at kerbs, etc? How is your dog around other dogs? Most of all though, what does your dog love doing best?!
A typical day
Where I live is surrounded by a great choice of places to walk your dog. Fields, greens, canals and parks are all within walking distance.

Whilst your dog is with me it will be the focus of my attention, without exception, whether it's in my house for day care or if I'm taking it for a walk.
