Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet Whisperer & Shy Pet Specialist
I’ve been a passionate dog and cat lover since childhood, dedicating my time to animal shelters and rescue organizations. Over the years, I’ve fostered all kinds of dogs—from pregnant mama dogs and bottle-fed puppies to adult dogs of all sizes, as well as kittens. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, assisting with vaccinations and animal care. With extensive experience handling pets of all personalities, I have a special talent for working with shy and nervous animals. Many timid cats and dogs warm up to me quicker than usual, thanks to my patient, trust-building approach. I let them set the pace, respect their boundaries, and create a stress-free experience that helps them feel secure. Whether your pet is outgoing or reserved, I ensure they receive the care, affection, and playtime they need while feeling safe and comfortable in my care. I’m happy to accommodate special care requests, such as administering oral medications, applying eye drops, and giving injections. I can also help with light home tasks during visits, including taking care of plants, bringing in mail/packages, taking out or bringing in trash/recycling bins, and checking that doors/windows are secure. If you have any other specific requests, feel free to message me in advance and I’ll do my best to help. Your furry friend will be in loving and experienced hands with me. I provide regular updates and plenty of TLC while you're away, so you can have peace of mind knowing they are well cared for. I look forward to meeting them! 🐾💕 I also have two small "foster fail" dogs who became part of my family. One of them, Gem, arrived at my home very pregnant and gave birth to seven beautiful puppies under my care. Witnessing their arrival into the world was a magical experience, and it reinforced my patience, responsibility, and deep love for animals. Providing these rescued dogs and cats with a short-term safe haven before they find their forever homes is truly a blessing.

Safety, trust & environment
The safety and well-being of your pets are my top priorities. For drop-in visits, please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs or care instructions, and I will strictly follow your guidance to ensure they receive the love and attention they need while you’re away. For dog walking, I take the time to understand each dog’s personality and habits—whether they are reactive to dogs, people, or squirrels, have a habit of eating things off the ground, or are enthusiastic sniffers. I make sure they get enough exercise, mental stimulation, and potty breaks while keeping each walk fun and stress-free. 🐾 New to Rover? Use promo code SHIRLC81016 for $20 off your first booking! 😊
Ratings and reviews
Shirley's always so attentive to our boy Habi, and really went above and beyond when she ran into an ant problem while we were away! We know Habi is always grateful to spend time with her.

Highly recommend Shirley! She followed all instructions and went above and beyond taking care of our 2 cats. She noticed little details that would make them more comfortable during her visits like rotating their dry food so they always had fresh food on top and took the time to get to know each of them and what they enjoyed whether it be playing, brushing, or just sitting quietly with them. This was our cats' first time with Shirley and they quickly grew to love her and look forward to her daily visits!


Thank you again Shirley for being Habi's friend, and making sure he is well taken care of!

Super nice and communicative! She was great with Zuko!

Shirley is very professional and always takes care of my cats with passion and love. I appreciate all her efforts!


Shirley goes above and beyond every single time she cares for my pet. She is clean, communicative, considerate, and really cares about the wellbeing of my pet. I highly recommend her for any services.
