Pet care experience
I've grown up with dogs of all sizes and breeds, loving them as my best friends, and I also have the softest of spots for cats too. I am the "petsitter" for my friends and family and had started dog & cat boarding during 2020, which I found the incredibly enjoyable and gratifying. Many of my fluffy "clients" have been returning to me over the past 5 years and I have found it very rewarding that my "non-fluffy clients" (owners) have trusted me to care for and build bonds with their pets. I have experience with: Small dogs Medium dogs Larger dogs Cats Related experience: Administering Epilepsy medication & other medications A pregnant dog Specialised diet eg. Raw food only, cooked foods Nervous dogs Dogs that are not friendly with other dogs Elderly dogs (poor eyesight, slow-walking) Post-operative care

Reviews
Simone made sure Hugo felt comfortable around her and her flat by offering a free intro session. She sent regular updates when he stayed with her and we were happy with communications.
Hamish definitely enjoyed staying with Simone and her partner. She kept me updated throughout with updates and pictures and was very accommodating of Hamish's new needs regarding his old man nappies :) Will definitely book again in future 🐶
She had lovely energy, so my dog loved her. She looked after Charlie really well, he was so happy from the start when he met Simone. She is definitely someone I can recommend. 5⭐️ From me and Charlie. Thank you one more time.
Simone was fantastic with our cats; I would recommend her hands down. She was accomodating and understanding before, while caring for them, and afterwards. I won't be going to anyone else!
