Pet care experience

Friendly, reliable, trustworthy animal sitter.

I have had pet dogs and cats since the age of 10 and have also spent lots of time caring for friends and family pets. For 15 years I ran a smallholding with goats, pigs, sheep and various types of poultry and also farm sat on a regular basis at a 100 head goat farm. Experienced in milking and kidding. I love all types of animals, love spending time with them and treat them all as if they were my own. I'm happy to house sit and care for your animals throughout the UK and Europe.

Our first booking with Rover and we couldn’t be more impressed with Shirley who was super professional, very easy to get on with and clearly loves animals. Our very elderly dog was so happy to be able to stay at home with such a kind carer Would recommend Shirley to anyone

We had such a wonderful experience with Shirley looking after Enzo overnight in our home. From the very beginning, she was warm, professional, and clearly a genuine animal lover. Enzo settled with her straight away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Shirley took fantastic care of him, keeping to his routine, giving him lots of attention, and making sure he was happy and comfortable the entire time. It was such a relief knowing our home and our dog were in such safe, capable hands. We came back to a relaxed and content Enzo and a spotless house — it honestly couldn’t have gone better. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Shirley again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet sitter. Thank you so much, Shirley!

Shirley absolutely adores animals and is so knowledgeable about their care. She dotes on my greyhound Fergie who is always delighted to see her (and he can be picky!) I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone capable and loving to look after their furry friends.

What a lovely person! Shirley looked after our house and Springer Spaniel, Millie, for 10 days this September while we went on holiday. Within mintues of her arriving, Millie was eating out of Shirley’s hand (literally) and by the time we got home they were fully bonded. Shirley is genuinely a kind, thoughtful and fun loving animal lover. She is a perfect house and pet sitter. Shirley walked Millie at least twice a day, took her out on trips and adventures, introduced her to doggie icecream, bought her biscuits, snuggled up on the sofa with her for evening cosies and generally loved her to bits. We got text updates, photos and videos everyday so we could see how they were getting on. It was clear Millie was having the time of her life. So reassuring! On our return, Shirley had hoovered, mopped floors and dusted. Such a treat to get back to a pristine house! I feel I have made a new friend in Shirley. she is welcome in our home any time - whether we’re away or not! She will certainly be my first port of call when I’m planning another trip. Would I recomend her? In a heartbeat.

I’ve known Shirley for many years and can confidently say she is a devoted animal lover. She has cared for a wide range of pets, including cats, dogs, birds, and more. Shirley has also looked after my own pets in the past, from cats and budgies to a snake, always with patience, kindness, and reliability. Her genuine love of animals and responsible nature make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy pet caregiver.
