Dog Home Away From Home with Simone
I've grown up around animals my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. Now living on my own in Bolnore Village, Haywards Heath! I'm lucky to be surrounded by beautiful fields, parks, and a huge open space right next to my flat, perfect for walks, playtime, and outdoor fun. I genuinely have to have animals in my life - spending time with them brings me joy and calm, and I make sure they feel that same comfort and attention in return. I’m home most of the day, so your pet will always have company, care, and cuddles.

Ratings and reviews
Simone was absolutely brilliant - from the communication beforehand to the updates and photos whilst Angus was in her care, I felt happy that Angus was in good hands. Simone clearly loves animals and went the extra mile to ensure she knew all about Angus so that she could give him the best holiday, and he clearly loved his time there. I can't recommend Simone highly enough!
Simone is a fantastic dog sitter. I went away for the week and Simone came to stay at our place to look after two dogs (aged 7). She was so great at communicating throughout, even suggesting a pre-meet beforehand. I was able to fully relax knowing they were being so well looked after, with regular pictures and videos. Simone also left the house spotless (infact it felt tidier than we left). Thank you Simone.
Simone was amazing with Stanley. He's always nervous at first with new people but seemed to settle in with her very quickly and was happy to cuddle up on her lap!
Simone was fantastic! She kindly agreed to look after Buddy at the last minute, and he had such a lovely time. She kept me updated with photos, which was really reassuring, and Buddy came back happy and well cared for. I’d definitely recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!
Simone is an absolute star. My sausage dogs had the best time with her. She was very kind and helped a lot. One of my dogs has a heart condition she was happy to give him his medication and take care of him. I came home to two very happy dogs and a very clean house. Thank you Simone for everything you did. Fabulous
One super happy dog returned to me after over a week. Thanks Simone!

Schedule
I work remotely from hove full-time. I rise early and enjoy staying in watching tv or finding another incredible spot around West Sussex to walk!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether caring for pets in my own home or in a pet owner's home, I always aim to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable, just like they would with their family. In my home, I provide a calm, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I live in Bolnore Village, surrounded by nature and open fields, so dogs get plenty of outdoor time, stimulation, and exercise. I'm home throughout the day, so pets are never left alone for long and receive constant attention and care. When I care for pets in their own home, I respect their routine and space while offering the same level of love, company, and attentiveness. I stick closely to feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions from the owner, including administering medication if needed - I also used to be a live-in carer :)
A typical day
Scenic parks, peaceful forests, sparkling lakes, and beachside adventures or just down time together listening to music! I am up to hear what the owner recommends too!
