Information Shirley B. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know if your pet has any special requests or needs, eg. allergies or a fear of loud noises such as thunder. If medication or a special diet is required, I would be sure to accommodate.

A typical day

We would get exercise and greet other dogs & neighbours on daily walks or go on adventures to the park or trails if your dog would enjoy that! If not so active we could lower the activity level to keep him/her happy & comfortable. Either way I will enjoy pampering your pooch!

Loving In-Home Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hi, My name is Shirley, my daughters & I recently moved to Stouffville and feel that no home is complete without a pet! We lost our amazing Nova Scotia duck toller last year and aren’t quite ready to get another dog but in the meantime i would love to care for your dog! As a long-time pet owner and dog sitter for family + friends, I have experience with many different breeds, shapes + sizes of dogs. I am energetic, caring & patient and look forward to welcoming + looking after your pet! In order to spend quality time with a doggy I only accept one at a time (or 2 if from the same owner). One of my daughters works from home on occasion, and the other gets up quite early for work so it would be preferable to have a calm dog that wouldn’t be bothered hearing early morning sounds!

Shirley was an amazing host to Finn! She provided so many wonderful updates throughout the stay and took her on many walks. She was extremely easy to communicate snd coordinate and we look forward to booking with her again soon!

Thank you so much for answering all my questions and concerns without hesitation. Shirley sent me pictures every day while explaining how Stella’s day was going. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog in her care. I would definitely do it again!!!

It was clear from the very start that Shirley was the perfect choice for Bella. We loved getting daily photos and updates, and she had a great time! She is already looking forward to her next stay.
