I do my best to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of when you are gone / unavailable. I am available for walks, drop-in visits and doggy day care. And because I love animals so much it’s not uncommon for me to go above and beyond and I always give them a little extra love, cuddles and treats (if that’s okay with you of course).

Safety, trust & environment

Firstly, I will treat and love your fur baby like my own. I adore animals and enjoy taking care of them and spending time with them. They bring us so much joy and I love giving it back to them as well. I will ensure your pets safety and happiness when they are in my care. For our drop in visits I will make sure they are cuddled, pet and spoiled to their little hearts contentment. I will make sure they get the fresh air and exercise they need. Also, I will follow your instructions as far as mealtimes and treats go to make sure your pet gets the same structure and schedule they are used to. If your fur baby is with me, I’ll be home all day to make sure they are safe and happy and very well taken care of while you’re away.

Information Simone A. would like to know about your pet

Is your pet current on flea meds and vaccines? Please let me know your pets personality. Are they hyper or more chill? Do they love to nap, play, run, go on long walks, cuddle, etc.? Do they have any injuries, allergies, special needs/preferences? Do they have any food restrictions or bad habits? What are some of their favorite activities? Most importantly, What can I do to make them the happiest while their owner is away? For cats- do they like to snuggle and cuddle or be left alone? Do they like to play and run around? Do you take your cats for a walk?

A typical day

I am open to any and all activities that your pet enjoys. Whether that is running around in the yard, going on nice long walks, playing, tug-of-war, or with any toys that he or she may like. going to the dog park if that’s what your dog is into. If you have a pool and your dog likes to swim totally down for that too. ☺️

Pet care experience

I was fortunate enough to have my own fur baby to take care of for almost 14 years. I have also helped my friends and neighbors with their pets when they need to go out of town or are unexpectedly able to take care of them. I can do it all, feed, bathe, walk and give meds. I am good with senior dog care, taking it slowly for them and administering medicine since I had to do this with my own dog.

I’m worry-free when Simone looks after our dogs. She’s reliable, consistent and easy to communicate with.

Simone took excellent care of our senior dog. She asked good questions and was gentle with our high needs dog. I felt totally at ease knowing she was in good hands!

I needed someone to help us with caring for our adult dog and puppy while I recovered from surgery. Our adult dog Winter doesn’t warm up to everyone but Simone is one of the few exceptions! Simone cared for our dogs just as we would have, and was great about communicating the details of her visits with them back to us. Highly recommend!
