Quiet writer bloke

44, Writer and script reader

I'm a writer and script reader looking to save money whilst moving out of my caravan for the winter. I have written for theatre, Radio Four and a bit of tv.

I lived in London for many years and working from home became a go to person for looking after dogs and cats. I have dog sat at a kennels for both the owner's dogs and the kennel dogs. I have a basic DBS check with me for the recent dog sitting and can provide contact with referees.

I am a dog and cat lover and will happily look after them and spoil them. I will follow your instructions to the letter. I don't drive but walk everywhere and will happily walk your dog as much as you like.

I have never smoked and I don't drink bar a very occasional beer a couple of times a year if that.

My idea of a good evening is a string of good documentaries on BBC4, a good film of any vintage or a book or a puzzle. I am very quiet.

Simon arrived the evening before I left very early the following morning. This gave me time to introduce Simon to my dog Jonas and answer any questions about the house and village. I was very happy and totally relaxed to leave and for Simon to look after my dog and the house. On my return, Jonas was happy and well looked after. Everything in the house was clean and in perfect order. Jonas had introduced Simon to some if my friends in the village, when they saw him with my dog and I had only ... MORE

Simon was a super sitter. Was only a short sit, but house was clean and tidy, and the cats were well looked after. He sent messages / photos to keep us informed, and the cats definitely enjoyed his company, obvious with the way they interacted with him affectionately even after our return. Would definitely recommend, and won't hesitate to call on him again should the need arise.

HARRIET (London England, Feb 2024 - 1 week 2 nights)
This was my first time ever having a stranger live in my house. I was a little anxious about it. Simon kept in touch regularly sending photos and emails and the house was left how I left it. I would definitely recommend this service and Simon again.

ELAINE (Eastbourne England, Jan 2023 - 1 week 1 day)
Simon was a delight, we already felt the utmost confidence in him as we'd seen all his amazing pet sitting reviews and he definitely lived up to them. Communication was excellent, Simon emailed us every day, usually with photos of Charlie, our cat and it was obvious they bonded with Simon happy to let Charlie sleep with him. We even acquired a new hedgehog visitor that Simon fed and watered in our absence! The house was spic and span and we came home to a very relaxed happy cat. Simon is ... MORE

Simon was a fabulous sitter, inspiring confidence on our first time using the service at quite short notice due to a change of our plans. He is lovely person and our dogs were very well taken care of and responded well to Simon. Highly recommended
