🐾Experienced animal caretaker🐾

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Symon. I love all animals... big, small, rowdy, quiet... they are just the best! I have 3 dogs and 3 cats (that think they're dogs) and we live in a great Burbank neighborhood. The house has a huge fenced in backyard with a nice combo of direct sun light and shade. My dogs spend hours outside playing and chasing the mischievous squirrels in the trees. The backyard is fully lit so at night it's easy to keep an eye on everyone. Inside, the couch is THE hangout spot. It pulls out to the size of a bed and is perfect for lazing about, taking group naps, watching Netflix. There is also a doggy cam (that dispenses treats!) pointed at the couch which makes for ridiculous amounts of fun when away. The house is a 2 min walk to the Chandler Bike path, and short drives to various dog parks in Burbank. It's also just fun walking the back streets of the quiet neighborhood. I like to start the day early with a long walk down the bike path, followed by breakfast and then some backyard time. After that, everyone is usually is ready for a nap. Depending on how busy my schedule is (I work from home)... the day is more backyard play time and naps. I like to take the dogs for another long walk in the evening just before dinner and then its bed time where we ALL pile into the bed. I will never take you or your pet's needs for granted. You've done the trial and error so you know what works and what doesn't. The idea is for a seamless transition for your dog(s). I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your pup soon!

hi— i’ve known Symon in a professional and personal capacity for over 10 years. he has always been a dedicated, thorough and empathetic team member. our personal relationship grew out of shared interests, including love for our dogs. he has cared for our dogs (and chickens) and he will remain my most-trusted source, and first choice, for entrusting with the care of our animals when needed. he is a kind caregiver to dogs of all temperaments and needs. as a dog trainer myself, i recommend him highly to anyone looking for a compassionate and trusted companion for their dogs.

Symon has been an amazing chicken sitter for us when we are out of town, I don't know what we would do without him. Not only that, but he is also an amazing pet owner that goes above and beyond taking care of his dogs and cats every need. I trust Symon more than anyone else to come into my home and take are of my pets. <3

Symon inspired me to rescue a dog, the first dog I’ve ever taken in. As a personal friend, Symon has inspired many things in my life including, but not limited to: patience, honesty, sobriety, spiritual accountability, meditation and kindness to animals. Almost 20 years ago, Symon shared an apartment with me and my daughter, she was 1 and ½. Symon is the most trustworthy person I have ever met. He speaks 12 languages including pit bull, Chihuahua, LA Street mutt, and princess puppy. A truly inspired and kind human.

Symon is the ONLY one I trust with our fur babies. He has watched both of our French Bulldogs dozens of times,,anywhere from a day, to over a week. If you know the breed, you know they are very high maintenance in care and need a ton of emotional support. We always got them back as happy and healthy as we left them. He even sent us pics!! He has also checked in on our persian cat while we have been gone, going as far to not just make sure he had is basic needs, but also to just hang out with him and play. Also, our home has a lot of collectables, and he is the only one I trust to have a key to our place. Incredibly thoughtful and responsible. The only reason I would hesitate to recommend Symon, is because he will have less time for us. Hahahah. Can not recommend this guy enough.
