Highlights
Pet care experience
+1,000 nights of sitting experience
Since starting pet sitting in April'19, I have now completed over 157 weeks of care, from the -30'C Canadian winters to the near 50'C summer in Dubai, remote Caribbean island to the hustle of capital city. Dogs & cats are equally loved, from Mini Dachshund to Bernese Mountain dogs, sleepy Pug to energetic Collie pups. So many happy memories and stories to tell. I feel honored and proud of my 5* feedback & references which are all far more important than anything I could write in my profile, and I have completed all verification available to me on this forum. Please help me to help you & your furry friends whilst you are away. Get in touch and we can arrange a call, skype, What'sApp or Zoom to make sure we would be a perfect fit. Communication is key. During my career as a Quality Manager, I always operated with the upmost professionalism, with integrity and in an open & honest way, and endeavored to instill these values to all of my team. Your house sit would be no different. I have been used to global pet sits of 1 to 2 months at a time, but equally, as I type, I'm sharing the sofa with a new furry pal in Suffolk for the week. It is unlikely that I would take any offers below 7 days.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I like to pet sit to be with the pets, it is that simple. I could fly away and lay on the beach for a week or so, or maybe take myself away to the nearest ski resort, but that is nowhere near enjoyable as plotting a route to explore the woods using Ordinance Survey Apps with a new pal by my side, or playing fetch, tug or grooming. And I don't know why, but a nice pint in a quintessential British pub always tastes better with a pal at your heels.

Simon has looked after our dogs for many years. He is so patient and kind with them, he adapts to their routines ensuring that they are secure and settled at home while we are away. He has a lovely relationship with our dogs and the ideal dog sitter. We would always choose Simon to look after our dogs and home.

Schedule
I am looking for pet sits during vacation from work. As such, my schedule would be adaptable to best match that of your beloved pet. I'm happy to explore the local woods & surroundings for up to 3hrs, dependent on the needs of your dog, and would keep to all of their normal scheduled meal / rest times.
