I work from home and love to spend time with animals because they bring me extreme joy. I adopted my dog, Army in July 2023, and my cat Luke found me in March of 2024. Since then, we have kept our home warm and welcoming to all pets in need of a place to stay.

Safety, trust & environment

I always ensure all my pets are given their vitamins and groomed and fed as needed. In any situation where I am hired to watch over a dog or cat I make sure to keep the house cleanly, feeding the animals when it is time pre-discussed with the owner, and I love playing and cuddling with them if they consent.

Information simon f. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know whether or not the pet is friendly with other animals or other humans that it doesn't know. Also, the best way to interact when the dog is feeling anxious or hyper, as well as some commands that the owner uses that the dog is already trained to obey around the house. For cats, any sensitivities they have or warnings of their more destructive habits (ripping up carpets/pillows/blankets) or chewing tendencies (plastic, hair, paper). Also, for both, any routines for the animal.

A typical day

I like to play with the cats and dogs using their favorite toys or however they are best to interact based on owner instructions. Also, going on walks with the dogs at the parks that my dog loves. I always make sure they have food and filtered water, and if they were good on the walk they 100% get a treat.

Cat care experience

I have a great amount of space for the scaredy cats to hide and the happy cats to play. I love cuddling with the furry ones if that’s what they prefer and keep my place cat friendly so there is nothing they can do to hurt themselves.

Simon was a great host for our cat over our vacation, lots of great photos and kept us updated throughout her stay. We were very happy to have peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands

I have worked with Simon for over a decade and consider him a dear friend and colleague. He is extremely organized, focused, and driven and I have seen him home grow professionally on a rather large scale. He addresses new positions with determination and an open mind. I would highly recommend him for this position

Simon is one of the most, if not the most empathetic and loving animal-ally I’ve met in my 28 years. I’ve entrusted him with my dog on multiple occasions and never had a single problem, only one very happy girl who wants to keep being around him. He is also wonderful with his turtles and cares for them in a wonderful hands on manner, they never go without!
