Animals are integral to my life and always have been. I wake up and go to bed with my cat, and the dogs fits into my every day. Whether I’m physically there or thinking of them, their health and happiness means the most to me. Currently, my schedule is very open, especially during the weekdays!

Safety, trust & environment

I listen to what they’re telling me. I focus on safety, patience, and trust in building a relationship, and I’m happy to start that at whatever distance or level they want to.

Information Simon R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know anything you think is necessary! I benefit from a lot of information, so nothing is too much! Ask away with any questions or concerns.

A typical day

With my cat, I've built cardboard tunnels, set up hidey holes and toy shelves, and toss him the misfit toys around. We also wrestle, when I have fluffy sleeves on, and nap all of the time. & Of course, many, many pets. With your pets, I'll give them as much affection as they want, or engage their particular play drive! Every one is different. I love making new friends and especially learning the range of personality in animals. Playful pets will get their fun in, affectionate ones will receive endless pets, and timid ones may keep their distance. I treat every animal with respect and accommodate what they communicate to me.

Pet care experience

My approach matches the energy of the animal and meets them on a level they’re ready for. I have specifically spent most of my time taking care of and learning more about cats. I’ve had animals my entire life, and have petsat for several years now! Safety and trust with your animal is my primary concern.

Simon is an incredibly attentive and caring pet owner who goes the extra mile to ensure your pet is happy and healthy. He has years of experience caring for cats and dogs in his home and has assisted me personally with my own booking as a dog sitter and walker through Rover. I've personally gotten to see him quickly befriend and comfort animals and how well he handles his own pets. If you want to make sure your pets are left in good hands, choose Simon!
