Life-Long Animal Caretaker & Lover!

Since the age of 7 animals have always been my life! I grew up raising Ducks, Squirrels, Raccoons, Birds, Fish, Dogs, Turtles, cats, rats, bunnies, snakes, you name it. I’ve always genuinely loved animals and your fur baby would be no different! My wife and I currently have a German Shepherd (Lana) & a Cat (Yip). They are both very friendly and they love to make new friends!

My Wasabi has never been alone for more than 8 hours. I was so anxious at the thought of leaving Wasabi with an unknown person in an unfamiliar environment. I went to Simon's house a couple of weeks before my trip. I needed to meet the person who would be looking after my baby & allow her to meet him & get used to the surroundings so it wouldn't be so unfamiliar to her when I had to leave her there. I was very pleased after meeting Simon & seeing the place Wasabi would live for a week. Simon is really great & very good at handling dogs. Wasabi took to him right away. He has a nice home & large, well-fenced backyard. He is excellent at communication! Every day he sent me a short synopsis of Wasabi's day along with photos. I absolutely knew she was being loved well & Simon had been taking good care of her. I love that I found Simon. It's such a relief to know that I can now take a weekend or week's getaway & Wasabi will be in good hands with Simon. My biggest worry is that Wasabi has such a good time with Simon that she won't want to come home! I highly recommend him.

Simon was amazing ! He provided a daily update and send pics of Rusty. Simon took care of Rusty as it was his own. HIGHLY recommended . I will definitely book him again when I go out of town and can’t bring Rusty with me. Amazing sitter .

Simon is the best! A 5 Star Dog Sitter. Each day he sent a message with pictures that made me feel so happy knowing that my little dog Fritz was adapting to his new surroundings and getting his belly rubs

Simon was great with our dog. He gave us daily updates and lots of pictures.I think he could sense we were reluctant to leave our dog with a stranger and we immediately felt more comfortable after meeting him and his sweet lady shepherd. He provided lots of social interaction and routine for our dog and couldn't have had a better experience. Highly, recommend him and we will be rebooking with him again.

I’ve already left a review before, but Simon and his wife are so good that I need to leave another! They go above and beyond to make sure Mr. Pibb feels safe and at home, and he gets to play with so many dog friends there! Simon sends pictures and updates daily, and is always so understanding when I have a last minute schedule change. I appreciate them tremendously!

Simon is very kind hearted and extremely knowledgeable about animals. We felt very comfortable leaving our Golden Retriever for a week. We are very grateful and fortunate to have found Simon and completely recommend his services to anyone. We are new to the area and it is a blessing knowing there is someone we can trust.

We do not take last minute bookings if we have never had a meet and greet for safety and health reasons. Is your dog okay being around other dogs or animals? Have they ever shown aggression or bitten another dog? What special need and medication do they require? We only watch dogs that are on Flea and Tick prevention!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
