Dogs are happy here!
Pet care experience
I have been boarding dogs in my home since 2007 and have many very happy customers. I have two small dogs of my own. The dogs have access to my fenced back garden at all times. I am retired and spend my time training and competing in agility. My dogs have free access to the living areas of my home and are able to run in and out of the back yard. They are walked twice a day and I also take them to the park several times a week. About this sitter: Passionate about dogs. I have completed a pet first aid course with PetTech. Why I love dog sitting: I have been a dog lover all my life. I have had a dog of my own since adopting a rescue in 1980. I now have 2 rescues and enjoy training them in obedience and agility. Meet my pets: I have two small dogs which I train and compete with in agility. About my yard: The backyard is fenced in with a 6 foot wooden fence. It has paths around the vegetation for the dogs to run. There is access to the outside from my back door at all times. I also have a small pond which is fenced and contains several fish. I am retired and home most of the time so I am able to supervise and care for your pet, take him/her for walks and have playtime. I have a fenced back yard which is available for potty breaks. I work outside in the yard most mornings and the dogs like to keep me company while I'm there. The dogs are allowed on the furniture and can sleep anywhere they choose.`
Reviews
Shirley is great!!!
Shirley was excellent. I was anxious about leaving my pup for the first time but he had a blast and even seemed sad to leave! She’s a trustworthy sitter who clearly has a ton of experience with dogs. I will definitely be booking again soon.
Thank you again for taking care of Sonia :)
Shirley, as always thank you for taking care of Sonia. I know she had a great time making friends and I feel good knowing that you love her and take care of her like your own. 🤗

Your pet has access to the entire house, including the furniture, and back garden. They are fed separately from my dogs. They are also brushed if necessary. I can also trim nails if the dog will allow me to do this.

Information Shirley B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if the dog is spayed or neutered and whether it has any aggressive tendencies. I also would like to know how they react to thunderstorms. I do not take un-neutered males.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks: I walk my dogs around the neighborhood in the morning after breakfast and at night before bed. I usually walk the dogs separately - the boarding dog(s) and then my dogs. I also take them to the park for a run in the late afternoon when it is cooler several times a week. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Anywhere it wants. Time I'll spend with your dog I am retired from business and am at home most of the day. My clients' dogs are treated as if they were my own. They receive the same loving care and attention. I take them for walks around the neighborhood in the morning after breakfast and in the evening before bed. In addition, we go to a local park about 3 miles away for about one hour's walk 3 to 4 times a week. I am retired from business so I am at home the majority of the day.
