Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I am home most of the time. I have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to be fully present wherever I am caring for your pet. Whether that is in your home or mine, I am never rushed or running in and out. Because I am available throughout the day, I can spend real quality time with pets during drop in visits, walks, or longer stays. I am able to follow feeding schedules, provide playtime and enrichment, give medications if needed, and offer calm companionship. Pets get my full attention rather than quick check ins. I structure my days around the needs of the pets I am caring for. This allows me to be consistent, attentive, and flexible so your pet feels comfortable and well cared for in their normal routine.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or in your home, I focus on creating a calm, clean, and secure environment where they feel comfortable and safe. With my background as a veterinary technician, I am attentive to health, behavior, and any changes that may signal stress or illness. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding routines, medications, mobility needs, and training guidelines. I am careful with doors, leashes, and surroundings and always supervise pets appropriately based on their temperament and energy level. In a client’s home, I respect your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal routine. I make sure pets have fresh water, a clean feeding area, safe walks, and plenty of attention. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident that your pet is doing well while you are away. In my home, pets are treated like family. I keep a safe and pet friendly environment and provide structure, enrichment, and supervision. I am mindful of introductions, play styles, and rest time to make sure every pet feels comfortable and secure. My goal is always for pets to feel relaxed and cared for and for owners to have complete peace of mind knowing their pet is in capable, compassionate hands.

Information Simon W. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful for me to know a little about your pet’s personality, favorite activities, routines, or any special care needs, including medications, but it’s totally up to you how much you want to share. Even a few quick details can help me make their time more comfortable, fun, and stress-free. Whether your pet loves long walks, short play sessions, cuddles, or just calm companionship, I can adjust my care to what they enjoy most. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind.

A typical day

I provide personalized care for every pet based on their individual needs and your preferences as the owner. Whether that means walks, playtime, training reinforcement, administering medications, cuddles, drop-in visits, or overnight stays, I am happy to do whatever makes your pet feel comfortable and happy. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, senior pets, and cats of all personalities. I can follow routines, provide structured play, encourage positive behavior, or just offer calm companionship depending on what your pet enjoys. I am also comfortable handling special situations like pets with anxiety, medical needs, or unique routines. Ultimately, my goal is always the same: to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and cared for in a way that works for them and fits your instructions. I tailor every visit to your pet’s personality and your expectations so that you can feel completely confident leaving them in my care.

Caring for Pets Like Family

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my hands on experience and genuine love for animals. I worked as a veterinary technician for three years, so I am very comfortable handling pets safely, noticing when something seems off, and caring for senior pets or animals that need extra attention. I stay calm in stressful situations and always put your pet’s comfort first. I also spent two years working at a doggy daycare and training facility, which means I have cared for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I am especially comfortable with puppies, basic training reinforcement, potty routines, and keeping dogs engaged in a safe and structured way. I have cared for countless dogs and cats and take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality. I know every animal is different. Some want to play nonstop while others just want a calm presence. I adjust my care to what your pet needs. I also have a sweet golden retriever of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I treat every pet the way I would want my own treated. If you are looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely invested in your pet’s well being, I would love to help.

Simon was attentive and reliable. He made sure my dog got plenty of walks and exercise, and he kept me updated with frequent photos, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dedicated sitter.

Simon took great care of my dog! I can tell she was happy with her stay and she had a great time playing with Simon’s dog, Winston. I will be booking with Simon again!
