Dogs make my soul happy

Pet care experience

As a caregiver for dogs, I am very patient, loving, enthusiastic, respectful, communicative and responsible. In my day to day job, I am a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, so I care for children and in my spare time, I would love to care for dogs! I have cared for my family's dog for 10 years and for many of my friends' dogs. My responsibilities included going to dog parks, feeding the dogs, cleaning up after them and housesitting in the dog's/family's home. Dogs feel at ease with me as I do with them! I am looking to regularly care for the same dog 1-2 times a week, either for the day or overnight as well. I would prefer if the dog lived in my neighborhood (Bushrod), which would make pickup and drop off very convenient. At this time, I am not able to have a dog of my own due to my schedule but would love to help care for your dog. Looking forward to getting to know your dog and discuss further details!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Shirley for many years, and can say confidently that she is one of the kindest, most compassionate and caring people I know. She adores animals, is patient, knows how to interact well with them and read their behavior, and is very responsible and trustworthy. I am confident that she will be an excellent addition to the Rover team, and will be loved by owners and dogs alike!

Shirley is the absolute greatest. She is wonderful with both humans and animals alike. She grew up with dogs and has also put up with my crazy dog many, many times. She is an avid walker and hiker, and would take dogs out on the best, healthy walks. She is also incredibly friendly and responsible, and will make anyone feel better about having to leave their pets. I highly recommend her!!
