SingleI have worked with Horses mainly, confident with ground work, long reining, lunging ect. I am confident on a small holding type of place with a few of each animal, or a herd which is out on grass.

Hi thank you for looking at my profile. I'm Si, I am a 35 year old animal person... Because animals are better than people! (No offence!) And I love traveling, which is why I'm here.
I have 15 years experience of caring for Horses, Dogs, Cats, Reptiles, Chickens, Goats and other farm animals.
I was a commercial horse drawn carriage driver for over 10 years, including breaking horses to harness. I have also worked in rescue with dogs and other animals.
I currently don't work full time due to health reasons. Nothing major which effects day to day life or being active.
I am autistic, which explains why I get on better with animals than people. I have a kind and caring nature, I am clean and tidy. If you leave clear instructions it will be followed to the letter! Again the joys of being autistic. 🙃
I drive, with my own transport, aswell as being trade policy holder so can drive your vehicles if required and love walking, traveling and being around animals.
I have a Collie aged 16, who is happy to go with the flow, she either stays home, or joins me. She is well behaved and friendly with all animals.
I also have Sox a Fox terrier cross miniture poodle. He is nearly 1. He is house trained, well behaved and loves to play with other dogs. He has met most farm animals now and cats, he shows initial intrest but shows respect and boundaries
Would love some mini get aways, help me do some exploring. I am currently a live in house sitter and enjoy looking after their pets when there home or away. But also love small breaks! I will likely be doing some creative small craft projects. So have a think what space you have. I can work off a tray on my lap, dining table or workshop!
Let's see if we can help eachother!
Si sat for us during a very cold snowy spell but was unfazed. All our animals were well cared for and happy. On our return he reported any concerns to us about one of the ewes and one of the horses. He also kept in touch whilst we were away. He had even baked us a delicious cake! We look forward to having him sit for us again.
Si did a fab job when he came to stay and look after our menagerie!! We had no worries at all. Si kept in touch with us while we were on holiday Sent photos of our pets and had a great time taking the dogs out to the beach and different places including the local car boot!! He was very thoughtful and did extra bits and pieces that was going the extra mile 😁. He bought his lovely dog Lillie who was a pleasure. Si is a very kind and friendly person and very good with animals we have no ... MORE
Simon is a great petsitter. He is very concientious and has a great affinity with animals of all sizes. He also has a very broad knowledge of animals from the smallest pets up to horses etc. He is also very friendly and approachable, easy to get along with and got along wih our near neighbours very well.
While we were away he kept intouch via whatsapp including photos. One of our dogs also needed veterinary attention while we were away and Simon dealt with that quickly and efficiently. We ... MORE
Si was a fantastic sitter, took excellent care of the house, dogs, cat and chickens. The pets loved him. Si took the dogs on long walks sending us lots of pictures and videos. The house was spotless and we even had beautiful home baked goods to return to. Would be a pleasure to have Si sit again. Thanks so much
Si was a pleasure to meet
A lovely man. Very caring and kind to the animals
Would definitely recommend him
And look forward to meeting him again

Simon is a great guy, I felt totally at ease with him looking after snowy my rescue dog with special needs. Simon is very experienced with animals and has a natural affinity. Snowy looked like she had a great time with Simon and his dog Lucy. The house was looked after and Simon even helped out painting a couple of rooms during his stay. I would totally recommend him to look after your house and pets and even some maintenance.
There is nothing more secure than having people at home while you're away. Get a house sitter.
