Very Experienced Dog Lover

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!

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!

I felt really comfortable leaving my puppy Pumba with Simon and his wife Yolanda after our meet and greet. Pumba really enjoyed himself and was excited to come back the next time. Simon sent pictures and updates throughout the day which was reassuring and I could see that Pumba was happy! They played with him and gave him loads of attention, he was really tired when he came home so must have had lots of fun. Simon was also happy to keep up with Pumba's training and practiced recall with him which was much appreciated. We will definitely be taking Pumba to daycare with Simon again and I would definitely recommend him ❤

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.
