Highlights
Pet care experience
I love every second with animals!
There has never been a point in my life where I didn't have an animal in the house and they have all been the best part growing up, now that I've moved away to Salt Lake for school I can't believe how much I miss my dogs and it would be such a privilege to be able to get more time with animals in my university career. My family has always elected to adopt rescue dogs in all shapes and sizes, my first dogs were a Husky mix and Chocolate Lab who both passed when I was fairly young, then we got an Icelandic sheepdog with the most amount of energy ever along with an older Boxer, then we got a two Pitbuls, one a mutt, with polar opposite personalities; and finally most recently we got a Belgian Mallinois, German Shepard mix who has been amazing to train and watch grow in the past year. I am a rising sophomore in college and for the past two years have been dog sitting for friends and family.

Safety, trust & environment
When home I take my dog for hikes regularly and try to get at least three miles in with each one, even when I'm not specifically playing with him he is always getting some sort of attention. I would much rather throw a ball around in a yard then sit on the couch and if your dog wants to play then so do I!
Ratings and reviews
I have known Simon for almost a decade and there is no doubt in my mind that he is the right man to leave your animals with. He is such a caring person and animals seem to take to him more than anyone else I’ve ever seen. Personally, my dog does not do well with strangers, but upon meeting Simon it’s like a switch flipped and they got along very quickly. I highly recommend him and would trust him with my pets any day of the week!
My German Shepard loves Simon! We felt very comfortable leaving him after seeing how he greeted our dog with love and kindness, while at the same time being respectful of the rules and training we have in place. Simon is punctual and followed all the instructions we left for him; the communication and pics of their fun day together was great. He shared that he has grown up with dogs and it shows! We are glad to have found him and look forward to using his services again soon.
Simon has taken care of my two dogs on many occasions and they both have specialized needs. He has housesits when I go away, and has watched them for a couple of hours. He takes them on long trail runs and has taken it easy with my elder dog that requires medication. Whatever the need of the dogs are at the time have always been fulfilled responsibly. I strongly recommend Simon!
Simon was great with my extra high energy hound! She took to him right away and loved her weekends with him. It was such a relief to know she was in good hands, getting lots of attention and walks, while I was away. Highly recommend!
I have known this young man for quite some time now, and I can say that if given the opportunity to have anyone watch over my pets, I would choose Simon 100 times over. Every time I see him with either my pets or his own, he is always so gentle and has such a warm energy about him. It is almost as if he cares for the pets as though they were his own. So I would recommend that anyone who has the opportunity to have Simon watch their pet should highly consider taking it, especially if they want their pet in a safe, caring, and gentle environment.
