Come to me for dogs afraid of men!

Pet care experience

Come use "Simon Says Stay" for all your pup needs. From ages 10 through 18 I was the primary caretaker of a high-energy, super-fit retriever, then much later chose a 80lb rescue greyhound to live with us in MN, & now I am an active volunteer at the Lied Humane Society wherein I have frequently socialized nervous dogs to bring to the Adopt kennels. I'm a Rowdy Red companion. All dogs seem to trust me, and I am afraid of none of them. A natural athlete, I can give your furkids a really good run, and know the dog parks and trials of Omaha very well. 180lb Great Danes sit on my lap, and no dog is too strong! Having just concluded a 10-day stay with 2 90lb chocolate labs, I'm anxious to take on more loveable dogs.

Simon did a wonderful job with my dog. I could tell from the get go that things were going to go well as he had a very calming affect on my dog. He was kind enough to keep me updated daily with how everything was going and even taught him some new tricks while I was away. I would highly recommend Simon to anyone and look forward to using his services again in the future.

Simon has sat for my two dogs several times, and he really is quite wonderful with them. I'm always impressed at how calm they are after him having stayed with them! My dogs are both large rescues, and he is great about offering training tips to help me address their behavioral issues. He is also incredibly respectful of my home, leaving it in as good--if not better--shape than I left it. I give him my highest recommendation.

Simon cared for my two Labradors in my home while I was on an extended trip. He was extremely diligent to learn about the dogs prior to my leaving, including stopping by to meet them and go for a short walk with us to better understand their personalities and quirks. In addition, he covered all bases with emergency contacts, feeding/treats, walks vs. runs and the distance and how many times a day, even what tricks or commands they knew so he was consistent with them. Simon has a very calm demeanor to ensure the dogs remained calm, too. (This was huge for me, knowing how high-strung my labs can be.) The evening I returned, the dogs were clearly relaxed. In addition, my house was well maintained (even my landlord complimented Simon after having met him while stopping by to check the property while I was away.) Simon is very passionate about dogs and dedicates time to improving the lives of shelter pets as well. This only makes him more well-rounded for caring for a wide-variety of dogs- including yours. I recommend Simon for the care of your fur-family-members. You will be worry free while away knowing your dog is well cared for!

Simon is a volunteer dog walker at the local shelter with me. He takes on many tasks with the shelter guests such as walking them for daily exercise, playing with them for mental health, and sitting with them in their kennel space as a comfort. Simon works with a variety of dog breeds from small to large. I would recommend Simon to work with dogs of any type, young or old, large or small, playful and energetic or calm and quiet.
