I work from home and love to spend time with animals because they bring me extreme joy. I adopted my dog, Army in July 2023, and my cat Luke found me in March of 2024. Since then, we have kept our home warm and welcoming to all pets in need of a place to stay.

I always ensure all my pets are given their vitamins and groomed and fed as needed. In any situation where I am hired to watch over a dog or cat I make sure to keep the house cleanly, feeding the animals when it is time pre-discussed with the owner, and I love playing and cuddling with them if they consent.

Information simon f. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know whether or not the pet is friendly with other animals or other humans that it doesn't know. Also, the best way to interact when the dog is feeling anxious or hyper, as well as some commands that the owner uses that the dog is already trained to obey around the house. For cats, any sensitivities they have or warnings of their more destructive habits (ripping up carpets/pillows/blankets) or chewing tendencies (plastic, hair, paper). Also, for both, any routines for the animal.

A typical day

I like to play with the cats and dogs using their favorite toys or however they are best to interact based on owner instructions. Also, going on walks with the dogs at the parks that my dog loves. I always make sure they have food and filtered water, and if they were good on the walk they 100% get a treat.

Simon was great! My baby had so much fun with him. He replied super quickly and agreed to take care of her on short notice. He also sent pictures, which was a huge relief for me and gave me peace of mind knowing she was happy. When I went to pick her up, she didn’t even want to leave! On the second day of daycare, she jumped out of the car and didn’t even look back. I’ll definitely book with him again!
