Pet care experience
Peace of mind while you’re away
So you need a safe, loving, and familiar space for your fur baby while you’re away? That’s where I come in—I provide in-home pet sitting so your pet can stay comfortable, stress-free, and happy in their own environment. Here’s what I offer: • Care right in your home, where your pet feels most secure • Daily walks (including park strolls and plenty of time to sniff every blade of grass!) • Playtime, enrichment, and mental stimulation tailored to your pet’s needs • No crates—your pet can sleep wherever they’re used to sleeping • Endless snuggles, kisses, belly rubs, and attention • Treats (like Pupachinos or pupsicles, with your approval!) • Thoughtful, daily updates with photos and heartwarming videos so you never feel out of touch I understand how hard it is to leave your furry family member behind. Sometimes bringing them on trips isn’t possible, but that shouldn’t stop you from taking that weekend getaway or long vacation. Let me give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and in the best hands—right at home.

Safety, trust & environment
Some pets feel most secure in their own familiar space, and I completely understand. I’ve provided in-home care for clients across New York—from Astoria to Roslyn Heights—who have trusted me not only with their pets but also with their homes. I treat every home with the utmost respect, leaving it just as clean, safe, and secure as when I arrived.
Ratings and reviews
This is our second time booking Shirley. She sends photos and helpful updates, and she is responsible and friendly.
Shirley was wonderful. She went above and beyond to make sure our cat was happy and safe. She was very tidy and clean, great with communication, and updated us often with photos. She has an obvious love for animals, and I always felt our cat was in responsible hands. I recommend her very highly.
Shirley took great care of our older dog and our home while we were away. She is a kind and responsible person. We highly recommend her.
Shirley C. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Shirley has been giving walks to Remy and boarding him, since he was a puppy. He loves her and gets so excited when we drop him off. She goes above and beyond. Highly recommend.
My dog had a great time playing, walking and hanging out ! ☺️

Schedule
Your fur baby is never left alone—that’s my top priority. I work remotely, which means I’m home and fully present throughout the day to provide constant care, companionship, and supervision. Whether we’re going for walks, playing, or just relaxing, your pet will always have my full attention. I also genuinely love capturing their personality through photos and videos, so you’ll get plenty of sweet updates while you’re away.

- Let me know the following: - any allergies? - can your fur baby have any human food? - What does your fur baby dislike? - feeding schedule? - potty trained? - does your fur baby wear diapers? - any special requests? No request is too big to ask of me. I have had pups who need to be hand fed and watched as they eat all the way to pups who need a diaper change in the middle of the night along with a special pup who needed to watch 101 Dalmatians to go to sleep
