Pet care experience

Where every pup feels home!

Pet Care Experience: As a devoted dog owner for over 30 years, I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’ve raised energetic puppies, cared for senior dogs with special medical needs, and everything in between. My background includes administering medications, helping with post-surgery care, and supporting dogs with anxiety or mobility issues. Whether your pup needs playful interaction or quiet companionship, I provide calm, loving care tailored to their needs. What Sets Me Apart: I don’t just watch pets—I care for them like family. I specialize in overnight stays, offering a consistent presence and a comforting environment for your dog while you’re away. I understand how important routine and trust are, especially when you’re not home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I bring a deep understanding of dog behavior, basic obedience training, and gentle senior care. Clear communication, attention to detail, and genuine affection for animals set me apart. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities

I love that you took my baby boy in last minute and with great care. She sent pictures of him and also, let me not worried about him too much. My baby boy had issues prior to his foot, before drop off. I asked if she was ok with accommodating him and she said yes. She did an amazing job at the care and came back with no issues with his foot after. I really appreciate it. I see I have found my number 1 sitter for my out of town meetings or vacation. Thanks again for taking care of ghost for me. 😊

I was so grateful to find Simone over the holidays, and even more relieved to learn she had already met my dog through her previous sitter (who was her sister). Such a small world! Simone and her family are wonderful, loving, and clearly experienced with dogs. I felt confident knowing my pup was in great hands, and she had an excellent time. Highly recommend!

Derby was happy, healthy, and well cared for at Simone’s. The only suggestion I have is more frequent communication throughout the stay.

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—and truly one of the most rewarding. I structure my day around walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of one-on-one attention. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, consistent care, whether it’s early morning potty breaks, midday walks, or overnight stays. I treat every pet’s routine with care and attention, ensuring their needs are met on time and with love. Your dog’s comfort and consistency are always top priorities in my home and schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in your home, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and familiar environment to help them feel at ease. In My Home: Your dog will enjoy a secure, fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks. I also have a friendly resident pup who loves to make new friends and help keep your dog entertained! My home is calm, clean, and pet-friendly, with plenty of cozy spots to relax. I stick to your pup’s usual feeding, walking, and sleeping schedule to maintain consistency and reduce stress while you’re away. In Your Home: If I’m staying in your home, I follow your dog’s daily routine closely—from meal times to walk schedules and special instructions like medications or bedtime routines. I treat your home with the utmost respect and offer light house-sitting services as needed. Your pet gets personalized, loving care in the comfort of their own space, and you can relax knowing everything is in great hands.

Pets

A typical day

When watching a dog, I love to keep them active and engaged with a variety of fun activities tailored to their energy level and personality. We’ll go on walks or explore a local park for some fresh air and exercise, and if they’re playful, we’ll enjoy games like fetch or tug-of-war. I also like incorporating simple training games with treats to keep their minds sharp and build positive behaviors. If they enjoy water, a splash in a kiddie pool or a gentle hose play session can be a blast. Of course, downtime is important too, so we’ll have cuddle time or just relax together after all the excitement.

I’d love to hear all about your pet! Please tell me everything you think I should know—what makes them happy, any special routines or quirks, their favorite toys or treats, and anything else that helps me care for them just like you would. Whether they love belly rubs, long walks, or a cozy spot by the window, the more I know, the better I can make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away.
