Pet care experience

I’m a husband, dad and also a dog lover.

Growing up we always had a dog who was a special family member. We had springer spaniels and labradors along with an epileptic white cat. I enjoy spending time with dogs, talking to them, grooming them or just playing. We wanted a family dog for years but as our jobs didn’t allow this in the past we were never able to commit as dogs need so much time, love and affection. My current job now allows me to have the time to spend with your dogs instead.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 21, 2026

Ruby was so lucky to go for the day to Simon and his lovely family. They are brilliant kind and caring and she loved every minute of it. She settled very well and didn't want to come home. We highly recommend Simon and his family they were very patient and considerate with Ruby who paid them back by licking them all over! Brilliant Dog Sitter Highly recommend!

I would 100 % recommend Simon, our dog Murphy had a wonderful time with him and his family and it was lovely to receive regular updates on his adventures and photos while we were away. It was clear Murphy had found his home from home and was relaxed and happy on our return. We will definitely be repeat bookers !! Thanks Simon

Doggy Day Care • Aug 26, 2025

Simon was an excellent communicator, from the first video call to the day he had Bentley, I was kept well informed! I had no trouble at all trusting Bentley with him and would certainly do so again if and when we return to the area! Bentley spent the day on his lap so he obviously felt very much at home!

House Sitting • Jul 02, 2025

Si and his family have been absolutely brilliant ‘foster parents’ for my boys while I had to work away from home. Excellent communication and lots of photos which left me feeling completely reassured that my boys were not only getting the very best care but were being loved and played with. Si returned all their belongings neatly when he kindly dropped them back home and even made sure they had some fresh water. Cannot recommend Si’s services enough. Thank you so much 🥰🥰

Doggy Day Care • Jun 14, 2025

Simon is a fantastic dog sitter, I can highly recommend him. He and his family absolutely adore dogs and give ours 5 star treatment when she goes there. She gets loads of love, play time, cuddles and princess treatment! It’s so wonderful to be able to relax and enjoy a day away from my dog knowing I don’t need to worry at all about her. We receive regular photos and updates. Don’t think twice, you’re lucky to have found this responsible, reliable doggy sitter.

Simon regularly looks after our 1 yr old dog, Edie. He adores dogs and is always thrilled to help us out with doggy daycare. Edie absolutely loves going to Simon’s because she gets so much fuss and attention there. She won’t walk past Simon’s house without trying to go in there! When she sees Simon out and about he gets the biggest greeting out of all Edie’s friends and family! I can highly recommend Simon as a kind, loving dog sitter, who will treat your best pal like they were his own. You will be able to relax knowing they are in very good hands.

A typical day

I love being outside and try my hardest to tire the dogs out so they sleep well, but most importantly have a great time. I also love a cuddle so depending on your dogs personality, I can adopt my day to their needs.
