Down-to-Earth, Flexible & Reliable.

Pet care experience

Hello! I have been helping family and friends with their pet needs since I was in middle school. I have taken care of dogs as small as Pomeranians to as large as Bernese Mountain Dogs. (I have also helped exercise and care for multiple horses.) I understand that your dog is a part of your family and you need someone who you can depend on and care for your dog. I am more than happy to come to your home and care for your dog to keep his or her area familiar. I have helped others by tailoring to their dogs' needs. I have helped with young puppies to elderly dogs that may need extra attention. I work full time as a Safety Coordinator in Salem, Virginia and have a flexible schedule. I am usually at work by 6 AM and home by 3 PM. I am able to take long lunches to check in with your dog and give him a little play time in the middle of the day. Thank you for your consideration.

Simon did a great job of taking care of Meb over the Easter weekend. Meb enjoyed playing with Son’s two dogs and got plenty of exercise. I received multiple updates along the way, and Meb definitely got plenty of attention!

Simon was great and easy to trust with our pup. When he dropped her off back at our apartment she whined as he left, so that’s saying something! We highly recommend Simon to any pet owner considering a sitter.

I’m always nervous when leaving my dog with anyone new, but Simon sent pictures and kept in touch about the stay. I will be using Simon in the future!

Simon is a calm, reliable dog sitter. He is flexible about dropping off and picking up and our dog seems very comfortable and happy to be at his home. I will absolutely use him again!
