Pet care experience

I have experience caring for different types of dogs and understand each dog has unique personality traits that need to be adapted to. I love walking and playing with dogs. I have experience overnight dog-sitting and walking. I raised my own dog from puppy to 14 year old senior. Since my dog has passed I would like to continue caring for dogs through these services.

Simon will be boarding my two Malamute Husky crosses and we did a day of daycare prior to help with getting them ready for this process. This was Simon's (excellent) idea. He is calm, confident and very gentle and kind with these two. I am very appreciative he has the skill and heart to care for these two. He is also an excellent communicator. I felt relaxed leaving these two with Simon. They were happy and great when I picked them up.

We had an amazing experience with Simon while we were away for a week and left our dog Stella in his care. From day one, Simon was incredibly caring, professional, and attentive. He kept us updated daily with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind while traveling. His place was extremely clean, welcoming, and clearly very dog-friendly. Most importantly, Stella absolutely loved him and looked genuinely happy and comfortable the entire time. It truly felt like she was on her own vacation! Without any doubt, we now feel completely comfortable traveling knowing Stella is in such safe and caring hands with Simon. Highly recommended!

Simon was amazing with our little 1.5 year old rescue! He had a great time both in the backyard and on his walk and felt very at home with Simon immediately. I highly recommend Simon!
