Highlights
Pet care experience
Safe and loving care for your furry friend!
With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic large breeds to affectionate small ones, I have developed a deep understanding of the unique needs of each dog. As a dedicated pet owner myself, I've had the pleasure of raising and nurturing dogs of all breeds, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. My passion for animals, combined with my commitment to providing safe and enriching environments, makes me a reliable and caring companion for your furry friend. I currently own a 10-month-old husky/shepherd mix named Loki, and he is such an adorable boy with the sweetest temperament.

Ratings and reviews
Simona was very loving and cared my pet like her own. She kept me updated every day with photos and messages. She is amazing and will definitely go back to her if I go on holidays and highly recommend her. The reason I selected her from Rover app is due to her attention to detail about the things she needs to know about your pet. I can't thank her enough for taking care of my pet.
Simona was so wonderful taking care of my beloved German Shepherd Lucky. I couldn’t be happier with the care my Lucky received! It’s always nerve-wracking to leave such a large, energetic dog with someone new, but the attention and love he got made all the difference. From long walks/runs in the park to engaging games that kept him both physically and mentally stimulated, I could tell he was having the best time. Simona also took the time to make sure his grooming needs were met and even offered extra cuddle time in her bed, which he loved! He was not well when I dropped him off at Simona's but she was well versed in giving dog medication orally and sending me regular updates on Lucky's health. By the time I picked him up he was back to his old happy 'Lucky' self. I felt completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands, and I’ll definitely be using Simona's services again. Highly recommend!
Simona has been our regular pet sitter for just over 4 years now and we haven't looked back since. We were fortunate to find her through a local recommendation and she has been an absolute godsend. Our Dobermann might even love her more than he loves us at this point 😭 We have nothing but good things to say about Simona as both a pet sitter and a person. She is a lovely girl that gives our dog so much love and attention that we never have to worry about leaving him with her. She was able to bond with him so quickly and now he gets so excited when she comes over as he knows he'll be spoiled with all kinds of treats and adventures. We also appreciate her excellent communication and how she sends us regular updates even though we trust her wholeheartedly at this point. We could tell how much she loved dogs when we first met her as she can't hide her enthusiasm and our boy knows it too! Would highly recommend her to anyone as she has consistently shown an exceptional standard of care to everyone we know that has used her. Thank you Simona for making our lives easier and putting up with our menace :)

Schedule
I work from home most of the time, which allows me to be present for your dog throughout the day. Even on the occasional days when I need to go into the office, there is always a family member at home, ensuring that your dog will never be left alone and will always have companionship and care.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a 10ft fenced backyard with a nature reserve close by to take your pup on engaging walks in nature. I also have my own pup Loki who loves playing with other dogs of all sizes and is extremely welcoming to new dogs and people within the household. Loki is crate trained and sleeps in his crate at night if you need your dog to be crated if needed.

A typical day
I aim to stimulate your dog both physically and mentally through a variety of engaging activities. If your dog enjoys running after balls, we’ll play plenty of games like fetch. We can also explore new environments, whether it’s checking out the nearby nature reserve or going on adventures in a large park close to my home. Walks are a key part of our routine, giving your dog the chance to safely explore and take in new scents while enjoying fresh air. To keep their minds sharp, I’ll incorporate food-based puzzle toys, offering a fun challenge while they enjoy their treats. I also love bonding through grooming and affection. If your dog enjoys it, I’m happy to brush or bathe them when needed. Whether it’s petting, brushing, or simply lounging together, I believe in making time for relaxing, quality moments that strengthen our bond.
