Highlights
Pet care experience
Responsible and experienced dog sitter in Waterloo
I am a reliable and caring professional dog sitter who has been taking care of dogs for over 5 years. With my love for animals and extensive experience in dog sitting, I have become a trusted caregiver for many pet owners in my community. Known for my patience, attention to detail, and ability to create a safe and comfortable environment for the dogs I care for. I am well-versed in dog behaviour and know how to handle different breeds and temperaments. My goal is to provide the best possible care for every dog I look after, ensuring that they receive the attention, exercise, and affection they need.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Simon boarded and took care of our German Shepherd for a week in May. He took him for regular walks and took into account the hot weather, so in the evening on the local park and beach when it was cooler. We could tell as soon as we met Simon, he was a dog lover and our Max took to him straight away. When we picked Max up, he looked comfortable at Simon's place and we'll looked after. Would happily ask Simon to look after him in the future.
I am happy to provide a testimonial for Simon who is an excellent dog sitter and has taken care of my Jack Russell Ruari on multiple occasions. As a dog owner, I am very particular about who I trust to look after my pet, but Simon exceeded all my expectations. Firstly, he is extremely reliable and always on time. Simon are is also very responsive to messages and provides regular updates on how Ruari is doing throughout the day, which gives me peace of mind knowing that my dog is in good hands. Secondly, Ruari absolutely adores Simon. Whenever they see each other, Ruari runs up to Simon wagging his tail and jumping with excitement. It's clear that Simon has a natural affinity for dogs and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I would have no hesitation in recommending Simon for any dog owner.

Schedule
I am semi-retired so I'm at home most of the day. My clients appreciate my flexibility, reliability, and willingness to go above and beyond to meet their pet's needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced back garden but I also take the dogs out twice daily for longer walks in the park as well as frequent visits to Hall Road and Crosby Beach.
A typical day
Morning: Wake up early to attend to the dogs' needs, including letting them outside to use the bathroom and feeding them breakfast. Take the dogs for a morning walk or playtime to help them burn off energy and get some exercise. Mid-day: Spend time with the dogs, providing them with attention and affection. Take the dogs for another walk or playtime session to keep them active and engaged. Administer any medication or special care that the dogs may require. Afternoon: Provide the dogs with lunch and some quiet time to rest. Continue to monitor the dogs' behaviour and well-being. Evening: Prepare dinner for the dogs and feed them. Spend more time with the dogs, engaging in activities such as playing fetch or cuddling on the couch. Take the dogs for a final walk or play session before bed.
