Peace of mind while you’re away

Pet care experience

So you need a safe and happy space to leave your furry family member while you’re away? That’s where I come in and provide you with the following: - a fun, safe, open home with a fenced in yard - lots of walks throughout the day. Park walks and mandatory sniffing of every blade of grass your fur-baby wants. - sleeping whenever and wherever your fur baby wants - No crates - lots of playtime and mental stimulation - constant snuggles, kisses, scratches and pets - treats galore (Pupachinos, pupsicles (if it’s ok with you, of course) - daily communication with pictures and Videos that i create from the heart for you and your family so that you can rest assured that your fur baby is happy, thriving, safe and under the best care and love possible while you’re away. I know how important it is to be able to rely on someone to take care of your furry family member. Finding pet friendly hotels and stressful plane rides are sometimes not a viable option for your fur baby but you still deserve to take that weekend trip or long extended vacation. Let me help you.

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.

Shirley was an awesome host for my cat Junie. I was very nervous and afraid at first because this was my first time using rover however, Shirley assured me that everything will be fine and that Junie will have a blast. She updated me and sent me pictures of Junie during the whole stay. Seeing Junie’s happy face definitely helped me calm down and enjoy my vacation. Thanks a million Shirley! I would definitely recommend booking with Shirley and wouldn’t mind having Junie stay with her again in the future. ❤️

Safety, trust & environment

I have provided my services at clients’ homes and my own. My home: I have a fenced in 30x17 yard with faux turf for your fur babys’ comfort. (See pictures) In the summer, I have a small puppy pool to cool off and free reign of my home. Your home: sometimes pups prefer to be in their homes. I can provide references of other clients who have trusted me to stay at their homes from Astoria to Roslyn heights.

Information Shirley C. would like to know about your pet

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 bed time story.

A typical day

Much like the pups, I enjoy long walks too and aside from my fenced in yard, there are several parks that I enjoy walking that are within a 5 minute walk from my place. I enjoy playing mind stimulation games with the fur babies and their treats. I hide the treats in the couch, scattered in the yard and It is soooo much fun to see them get so happy when they find It. Their nose and mind get a workout. There’s lots of ball throwing and tug of war to be played throughout the day

Your fur-baby is never alone in my home. That is a priority. We never leave your babies home alone. My household consists of my husband and I. There is always someone home. Feel free to take a look at my schedule and ask me any questions you’d like to know about me and my experiences with the fur babies.
