Information Simone D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet requires any special accommodations! I have a lot of experience with a variety of animals and am more than happy to make adjustments for your pet.

A typical day

Typically I take dogs out four times a day for walks (of course can be adjusted for the specific needs of your pet). Additionally I love to provide mental stimulation through playing with toys, facilitating playtime with my dog (if your pet is interested), and lots of cuddles ☺️.

Thank you, Simone for watching our dogs. I loved all the check-in updates and photos. Everything was great at the house when we got back and dogs were happy!

Our puppy Sophie is a bit of a handful, but Simone is wonderful with her! Very patient with all the instructions I gave her (nervous mom!) and took great care of our girl. I look forward to working with her again!

Simone is excellent! Really appreciate how reliable and communicative she is, and she takes Archie on nice long walks. I can tell she really loves dogs! 😊

Simone is the absolute best with my two very large, energetic pups! I know they look forward to seeing her and she has a special skill to get my youngest finicky eater to finish his food. She’s kind, loving and super considerate.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
