Pet care experience

Animals R my best friends 💕🐕‍🦺🐈

I am a long time animal lover. My mom was raised on a farm and she raised us in a home filled with dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs, fish. As an adult I have most often had animals. My children were raised with an amazing Rottweiler, and in spit of my allergies I have had cats. I am good with small dogs and large aggressive breeds. I'm retired now and dedicating myself to full-time pet care. My home is set up for dogs. I have crates available if needed. I have a fully fenced backyard that provides space to run and play. I believe in feeding a healthy diet and proving outside exercise for dogs. If you need a responsible dog lover to care for your family pet, I may be able to help. Call me ....Shirlee With my flexible schedule I have the ability to make your pet cat or dog special needs my priority. All pets are special and deserve love and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a five year-old husky who loves company. She is great with all dogs small or large. I have a fully fenced backyard. I have multiple dog beds in back rooms in the living room, and I have crates for when they are needed. I've also recently started using pet aromatherapy throughout the house to create a soothing, relaxing environment for dogs.

This was my first rover experience with my two pups and I could not have had a better experience than Shirlee! She was absolutely incredible. She came over for a meet and greet with treats and my dogs absolutely loved her. She was on time, super communicative with videos and photos and checked in regularly! She was an amazing house guest and if I was not moving, I would book her again in a heart beat!

We are so thankful to have found Shirlee. She loves Lady as if she were her own. I can always rest assured when I leave my dog with Shirlee. She even brought her a cute Christmas toy!

Shirlee was very sweet to my pups and, most importantly, they absolutely loved her. I have two older, large dogs that are my babies! They were completely happy when I got home and we’re so excited to see Shirlee when she came by the house (forgot a water bottle). Highly recommend her and really appreciate her taking great care of my pups.

What a relief to have found Shirlee!!! I was nervous to leave my dog alone since she's got a touch of separation anxiety but Shirlee made Lady Bug's care a priority. She took great care of her, as if she were her own dog. I got lots of updates, videos and photos while I was gone and felt much more relaxed knowing she was taking care of Lady Bug. Not to mention I came home to a clean house, dishes done, laundry going, etc. What a treat! Will definitely use Shirlee again for any pet sitting needs.

Shirlee was wonderful. I received several videos and pics of my pups while I was away. Everyone was happy and well taken care of. I will request her services again!

Schedule

I'm retired. So I do a lot of boarding here at the house which is set up for dogs. I will accept one or two drop ins or walks during the day that are a reasonable distance. If I get an order, I pop out and then I return home to my dogs who are here, including my own first thing on the list potty break. I have the ability to create a dog or keep them in a room to themselves or with a buddy. I always leave them with Water.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Shirlee can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Let me know what your pet requires. I want them to feel happy and loved when you are gone. They should be happy when you get home. I have a database set up to track information about your Pet, including the other dogs that have been buddies with them while in my home and any special needs. I do a drop in check list and pick up checkout list to make sure what you brought your dog with returns home.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
