Information Simon C. would like to know about your pet

Anything and everything! I'm happy to cater to any requirement, but as a starting point, it's good to know how they are around other dogs or people, if they are nervous or not.

A typical day

I've got some great places to walk near me, big open spaces and fields, where dogs can go chasing balls or just having fun running around with me. And lots of little pathways where dogs can go sniffing to their hearts content, providing that all important mental stimulation! I'm conscious of other dogs though and can allow a dog to be sociable with others, under supervision, or I can ensure they are more carefully controlled if need be. It's whatever is advised by you, the owner, and what is best for each dog. But either way, after a good walk and some fun, there's nothing better than a nice cuddle up and knowing they are content, happy and tired!

Pet care experience

I've had dogs since I was about 10, with a variety of breeds including a bearded collie, retrievers, a cross-bred rescue and my all time favourites, labradors. I enjoyed helping my parents train guide dogs too, and have used those skills many times over the years, helping train friend’s dogs when there was a need. I've also got plenty of experience looking after other people's dogs, as friends have often asked me to either babysit, drop in or fully take in their dogs when they've been away, something I've always been very happy to do, the latest being a fun mix with a shitshu with attitude and his very laid back buddy, an Alsatian😄 I don't have dogs of my own at the moment, however I would love to help other dogs if needed and is something I really enjoy doing, sometimes along with my partner. We are both very outdoorsy and love a dog walk, in all weathers!

Bracken came back from Simon’s happy, having had a good walk and play! Would definitely return and recommend.

This was the first time Simon had looked after our Milo and we were immediately reassured by him and all of his doggie sitting experience. Milo warmed to him immediately and we were able to leave him without any worries or concerns. It was nice to get some feedback and happy Milo photos whilst we were out. It was clear on our return that Milo had enjoyed his time with Simon and we will have no hesitation in booking him again!

I cannot recommend Simon enough. Professional, friendly and approachable & knows dogs! He was very understanding and flexible around our situation that was happening at the time. Nina was very content with his company and walking capabilities! I whole heartedly endorse Simon to anyone looking for care for their four legged companions!
