Highlights
Pet care experience
WFH sitter, Velcro-dog approved 🐾
I've been around dogs my whole life — my family's first was a Jack Russell Terrier, followed by two Bichons, and my sister has two Bichons of her own. Dogs have always been part of my world, so I'm completely at ease minding them and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. This May, my partner and I adopted Nori, our gorgeous Italian Greyhound. Raising him has sharpened my hands-on ownership skills. Everything from house-training to managing his big personality in a small body. He's playful, energetic, and always up for making a new friend, so if your dog enjoys company, he'll be a great buddy for the stay. Italian Greyhounds are famously "Velcro dogs," so I'm well used to giving a dog my full attention throughout the day. I work from home full-time, which means your pet won't be left alone for long stretches — if they need someone around consistently, I'd love to help
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Simon is a wonderful pet lover. He grew up with Jessie our terrier and they were best buds for the 14 years of Jessie’s life. We have Coco now and she is very fond of Simon and sleeps with him when he’s home for holidays. He’s now a pet owner himself since Norie came into his life making him and his partner Abbie dog parents! I highly recommend him as a responsible pet carer!
Simon is fantastic with our dog. He's communicative throughout sends regular updates and photos. You can tell he genuinely understands dogs — attentive to routine, patient, and careful with any specific needs we mentioned. I came home to a happy, well-exercised pup and would book with Simon again without hesitation. Highly recommend!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my day since I work from home full-time. Mornings start with a walk, often down to Sarphatipark, followed by regular breaks throughout the day for toilet breaks, play, and outdoor time on my rooftop terrace. Evenings bring a longer walk or wind-down together. With my own Italian Greyhound, Nori, I've learned that frequent shorter outings work better than one long walk. Especially for high-energy or clingy breeds. Your dog won't be left alone for long stretches; consistent attention is just part of how my days already run.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I follow each dog's normal routine - feeding, walks, meds, wherever we are. At home, they join Nori and me around the flat. Never left alone for long. I also live with my partner Abbie who's just a trustworthy and similar lover of dogs so there will always be 4 eyes on your pet :)
