Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly, DBS checked dog sitter
Hi, I’m Simon. I offer a highly personalised, home-from-home boarding experience from my private countryside setting in Knaphill. With over 20 years’ experience, my focus is on providing calm, consistent care in an environment where dogs can fully relax and feel part of the household. I keep numbers deliberately low and typically host just one guest at a time. This allows me to maintain a quiet, unhurried atmosphere and give each dog the level of attention, routine, and comfort they’re used to at home. Dogs staying with me are treated as part of the family. They’re welcome on the sofas, have full access to a secure garden, and settle into a natural daily routine rather than a kennel-style setup. Each stay includes: • Individual, one-to-one care in a low-stress environment • Countryside walks and tailored exercise • A secure, private home with a large enclosed garden • Full-time supervision – dogs are never left alone • Regular, thoughtful updates for complete peace of mind • Calm, well-balanced companionship from my Beaglier, Pippin, where suitable Services: Dog boarding (overnight stays) Doggy daycare Dog walking in Woking and surrounding villages Home visits and house sitting Dogs I Welcome: Well-mannered, house-trained dogs up to 45kg. Puppies are welcome with a clear routine. Dogs should be comfortable around another calm, well-socialised dog. Enquiries I offer a complimentary Meet & Greet so you can see the setting and ensure it’s the right fit. Availability is limited due to a high level of returning clients, and I take on bookings selectively to maintain the standard of care I provide.

Ratings and reviews
Duchesse had a fantastic time with Pippin and Simon. Thank you so much for looking after her especially during this heat wave. We will certainly be in touch again in the future.
Simon is such a wonderful sitter! He took amazing care of our 3 dog and made them feel totally at home. He took an excellent notes of all our requests and instructions and reported regularly with photos which made me feel totally at ease. I will definitely use him again in the future.
Our dog had a fab day with Simon and Pippin. She was very happy and relaxed at pick up. Simon was able to cater for the fact that our puppy is only very young, and he was flexible and met her needs perfectly. Great service - thank you!
Muffin has now been with Sam (and Pippin) 2 days and has been super happy with her stay. Simon is kind, considerate and loving towards her, and Pippin has been a new found friend. Thank you Simon.
Simon was great! Absolutely fantastic to communicate with and just made it all really easy. Simon came round to meet us and the dogs before the booking and felt in really good hands. Definitely recommend!
I can’t recommend Simon enough! From the very first meet-and-greet, it was clear how much he genuinely cares for animals. He took fantastic care of Lucho, keeping me updated with photos and messages so I could relax knowing my pup was happy and well looked after. Lucho came home content and clearly loved spending time with Simon and Pippin. I will definitely be booking with them again – a truly wonderful experience all around!
