Pet care experience

Life long dog lover!

As a lifelong pet lover and dog owner, I've had pets since I was 8. I've owned all types of pets, reptiles, birds, rodents, cats, dogs, you name it! I am attentive and respectful to each pet's needs and wants. Does your dogs like to cuddle? Cuddle session! Active ? Let's jog and play games! Need alone time? Let's relax on the couch! I have walked, boarded, as well as trained dogs for friends and families. I am a very active person so if you have a high energy pup, I'm your gal! I trained my dog who currently understands 15+ commands in two languages! He's not perfect, nor anything out of the ordinary but with lots of patience and positive reinforcement, he has been learning and improving everyday. Hopefully, he can be a companion to your furry loved one as well!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 02, 2025

This was Bedie's third time with Shirley and like the last two times, she was well cared for and came back happy. Shirley is very attentive to Bedie's behavior and needs and I appreciate her detailed reports and insights.

Doggy Day Care • Mar 28, 2025

It was Bedie‘s first time in daycare away from home, and Shirley took excellent care of her! She was very understanding of Bedie‘s quirks and accommodating with my last minute change of schedule. Shirley‘s dog is also wonderful and I‘m happy Bedie made a friend.

Shirley has been our go-to person for our dog! She is kind, patient, and communicative. She was very understanding when we had to reschedule during one of the bookings too. Highly highly recommended!

Pets

A typical day

I love stimulate dogs mentally and physically. I typically go for a long walk or jogs , depending on the dog's needs. I have three parks within a 1.5 mi radius. I let dogs explore, play, and sometimes train at the parks (I sometimes bring a long lead and treats for training). On longer walks, I will go to the grassy parks where there's lots of room to run and explore! Indoors, I provide toys, play tug and hide and seek treat games with dogs to keep them mentally stimulated.
