Shirlene took wonderful care of my dog, Barnaby, while we were away. She was great about sending updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. 🐶 I came home to a house that was actually cleaner and more organized than when we left! Barnaby was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I returned, which says everything. Shirlene went way above and beyond, and I would absolutely book with her again!

Shirlene was a perfect match for my tow boys! This was her first overnight and the boys clearly weren’t onboard with my travel. One is elderly with medications and quite frankly can be a bit snippy now and resource guards. Her care and professionalism shined through with concern regarding giving Thor some of his meds and his less than willing attitude. She reached out to discuss and was successful with the meds. But the thing that struck me the most was that she understood that Thor and her have not had enough time to create a solid trust bond, hence some of his snippy attitude. When I look for someone to care for my dogs, I don’t want them to just show up, I want them to care enough for my dogs that if something isn’t right or something happens, that person is there to figure it out because they CARE about the dogs, they aren’t in it just for the money. I could tell that Shirlene cared about my dogs and is willing to create a bond with them that leads to me feeling solid and assured when I am away.

Shirlene was absolutely wonderful with Barnaby! She was incredibly responsive, sent regular photo updates, and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. Barnaby looked so happy and well cared for, and I could tell he was in great hands. Highly recommend!

Where oh, where do I begin? Shirlene was nothing short of amazing. My friend who had the pleasure of meeting her during this day actually said she was a Mary Poppins 😊 Shirlene was so generous to spend quality time meeting me and my pets before our first trip. I could tell right away it would be a great fit! Shirlene paid attention to every single little detail with our dog and cat - and they are not low maintenance. We got so much communication, many wonderful pictures, and reports, and she even got our little pup some of his own Halloween treats. I threw a curveball and had her get my dog to a friend on our last day, since we were arriving home very late in the night, and she was more than happy to help with that as well, I didn’t even ask her to pack up things for him, but she packed him up a little bag for the handoff and went above and beyond making sure that he would be happy. Shirlene also cleaned up the house in a way that I would have never expected and was a pleasure to come home to!

Shirlene was amazing!! Shirlene stayed at our house and looked after Mogul while we were away for a long weekend. She was very communicative and sent pictures throughout the day. It made us feel very comfortable and happy knowing she was taking care of Mogul. We came home to a very happy dog and a clean home 😊 highly recommend Shirlene and look forward to booking with her again. 5+ stars

Highly recommend Shirlene! This is the 2nd time I’ve booked her to stay in our house and watch our pup. Not only did she (and her dog Shelby) take amazing care of our dog but she somehow leaves the house cleaner than when she arrived! I will always use Shirlene!!!
