We enjoy hearing about their experiences! Here are some of the things said about us and if you would like to know our story, click below.
I've really enjoyed working with Simona. She's helped me so much on the correct ways to communicate and teach my pup. Over the course of our lessons we've improved on recall, leash walking, heel, and so many other things. Thanks to her I have a good foundation on my dogs training for the coming years.

I was honestly very impressed with not only her deep knowledge of canine behaviors, but her skills in EXECUTING on behavior modifiers once a training regiment is set is simply amazing! If you follow what she says and how she says to do it, she has a recipe for successful and well behaved dog, she is the only option when it comes to knowledge and professionalism!

I can’t say enough good things about Simona! First of all her response time was incredibly prompt, which is extremely professional! When we had our meeting with her she was very attentive and kind and focused on our pet/puppy and our needs and our hopes for her. She spent some time with our puppy at this meeting and then graciously took her right away that evening which helped us out so much with our schedules! Also we got a chance to experience her with her own pet
(A dog named Oliver) and his demeanor and his style and her commands that he listened to were just so impressive and that made us feel so excited about what she could be doing with our dog! After she took our dog that evening, we of course as new parents were concerned and missing our puppy but the entire two weeks that Simona had our sweet Silvie she sent videos and pictures daily and kept us posted on all of her training and her well-being!! Simona practices positive enforcement and not forceful training and I just think it makes animal lovers feel so much better about leaving their pets with her! I am a huge fan of Simona and her training and her approach! I recommend her immensely!!
She is the REAL DEAL!! ♥

Simona was awesome with Bella. Bella was out of control and I was having a hard time with her. I found Pawsome & fit and that changed mine and Bella’s lives. Simona got Bella where I needed her to be in order to keep her as she would not listen to me. It’s great to walk with Bella in public and she does not bark, running after ppl and cars nor jumping on furniture and ppl. I’m very happy with the services. Simone abs her family are the best. Will definitely have her working more with Bella ans keeping Bella. Very reasonable in price and very caring and polite.

Such a great place for dog training. Our pup has learned so much from Pawsome and Fit and is so excited every time he is going! Probably the only place we trust to take amazing care of our dog.

Simona did such an awesome job with my Golden Retriever, Oakley. She loves the dogs like her own and Oakley learned so fast from her. Would definitely recommend Simona for any type of training your dog might need.

I am a breeder of Shar-Peis (kennel Magic Sonet) since 1980. I am also an international judge for dog shows, a president of European Federation of Shar Pei Clubs and a president of Shar-Pei club Slovakia as well.
Simona worked with us for about 10 years as a dog trainer, dog sitter, and dog walker. During this period we were very satisfied with her work. She has demonstrated her skills and expertise in the field of cynology:
- Training sessions (obedience and guidance of adult and young dogs)
- Everyday basic care
- Health and nutritional care
- Dog show handling
During her work she took care of individuals of various ages (puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs). She demonstrated both crisis response and responsible decision-making in our absence. Since her work also required staying in our house alone, sometimes for a long time, I can confirm her high personal moral responsibility. She had our utmost confidence that we never doubted.

We own the kennel of boxers Fender Edda, established 1985. Our dogs live all over the world, and in the last few years many of them have been shipped to the USA, Canada, Thailand and many European countries. As we are very competitive people and want to show the qualities of our dogs to other breeders and owners, we attend many dog shows which means to be out of the house for a couple of days. We always have to find someone for pet sitting the rest of our dogs currently not competing. I knew Simona is a petsitter and we decided to ask her if she would be able to take care of our treasures (you know, boxer is not a very easy breed and we own more than just a few, plus we are also owners of slovak national breed - A Slovak wirehaired pointer which is a very temperamental breed). Luckily, Simona answered the call and our first co-operation started. Our dogs loved her! We loved the way she worked with them! Aside from all the things she had to do (feeding them, cleaning them up, etc) she also spent her free time by walking them in the forest and socialising them! Amazing work, amazing petsitter! We co-operated more times, such as during our wedding weekend. Then she started living in the USA and we lost her as a petsitter, but not as a friend. We miss Simona so much! We have never had a better petsitter than she was for us.

Simona worked for 2 years as a dog walker/sitter of my dogs. At that time, I had three Labrador Retrievers, two of whom were working lines and were being trained for trials and hunting. Simona's job was to pick up the dogs twice a week at my place of residence and, along with her other clients´ dogs, take them in a group of usually 6-9 to some nature to walk, run and interact with each other. At first, I entrusted her to the two oldest dogs, while the youngest I took with me to work. Later on she took care of all three. She cared for my oldest dog several times when I was traveling abroad for a long period in a competition or for training with my younger dogs. A few times this lasted for a whole week.
From day one, Simona understood and respected all my habits and the system my dogs had learned. She managed to easily call them, walk them by heel, and other practical things, although during their whole lives no stranger could do the same. She regularly sent photos, videos, and messages from every walk. I always knew what they were doing, where they were and what dogs they were with in the group. I didn't ask her to do this, but I was glad she did. Although they were dogs of different ages and breeds, there was never any problem with aggression, injury or other unwanted events. If there was an unpleasant situation, she could always cope. I could totally rely on her. The price for her work has always been fair and accommodating. I can recommend Simona for any work with dogs. She understands them and their needs, their mentality, and she is able to interact with them as they require.
