has appreciation for all dogs

Pet care experience

I have 3 years of experience working at a dog daycare and boarding facility (Island Aardvark's) so I know the ropes of handling and caring for all dogs. I absolutely love working there and I have learned so much. I have cared for a range of breeds and ages, so I can look after any kind of doggo. If there are multiple dogs in a home, that is no problem -- I would just like to know the number I would be looking after. My schedule is flexible so days and times can easily be arranged. I have experience looking after other animals, including cats and bunnies, so I'm available to care for all types of pets if that is the case in your home.

Highly recommend! Over the years, I've had a different people come in to feed my shy kitty. It turns out that Patsy comes out when Simone is here. During my out of town trip, I stopped home and saw that Patsy's bowls were clean and had the appropriate. amount of food in them. I'm persnickity about the litter box and it checked out. Communication with Simone was effortless. I'll absolutely hire her again!

We had Simone stay at our house and we were so happy we met her. Our 2 dogs loved her. She cuddled with them, took them in walks ans sent us photos. We could see that Simone has a live of animals and felt at ease having her stay for the week we were gone. She also brought in the mail and watered plants. We came home to happy dogs and the house looked great too! We highly recommend Simone, she is a sweet natured student who works and is saving for school.

Simone shows genuine care and concern for animals. She is intrigued by the science of their behaviors and is attentive to their needs. Simone treats her summer job like it's her profession but is focused on her academic and life goals. Dog walking is a means to that end. I would highly recommend her to walk your dogs!

Simone is very responsible! Always goes the extra mile with every task given to her. She’s loving and most defiantly caring for all the different dogs out there and all other animals as well! She’s amazing !

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure there is always fresh water available in multiple areas in the home and/or property, and that their beds are not filthy from dirt or odors. If there’s a litter box for a cat, I make sure it is well kept along with the area around it. I follow whatever type of schedule for feeding and walking/exercise that exists for all the animals.

Information Simone B. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences in particular but it would be nice to know the type of breed before pursuing anything. Also, I would like to know if interaction with other dogs is good. In other words, the doggo behaves well and is friendly with other dogs. I have experience with dogs that do not particularly like others so it would not make a difference to me! I’m more concerned about the comfort of your dog or dogs.

A typical day

Living in Benicia, there a few great places for walks! These include the Community Park off of Rose Drive, the State Park off of Military West, along with First Street. If there's a particular place the owner takes their baby, I can visit there as well.
