Pet care experience
I am a big lover of dogs since I was very young. I work with some animal shelters and rescue organizations. I fostered all different kinds of dogs including pregnant mama dog, mama dog with bottle babies, puppies, adults dogs, big and small, also kittens. I also volunteer at a local animal shelter on site and help with animals' vaccination and take in, pick up and drop off. I have two small resident dogs and both are "foster fail". One of them (Gem) came to my home very pregnant and gave birth to seven babies at my home. I am so lucky to witness the magic moment when these babies came to the world. It requires a lot of patience, enthusiasm, responsibility and love to take care of all these different kinds of pups. I feel blessed to meet them all and provide them a short-term harbour before they go to their furever home.
Reviews
My fur baby and I have the highest praises for Shirley. Her beautiful spirit is why my finicky feline loves her drop-ins, the pics says it all. I highly recommend Shirley for your pet services, I have been fortunate to have her care for my fur baby multiple times. Her kindness, obvious love for animals and attention to detail are a just few reasons that makes me happy my fur baby is in her care.
Mango loved walking with Shirley! Mango pulls on the leash sometimes which is something we are working on with him, but Shirley seemed to handle it just fine. I appreciated her timeliness and good communication. Will definitely seek to book her again!
Our meet and greet with Shirley went well! Shirley is very attentive and asks good questions about our dog to provide the best care.
Shirley dropped in for a visit with my puppy and took great care of him! She communicated well and let me know how he did with texts and pictures. Much appreciated!! Thank you!!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
The pets' safety is the most important thing. For dog walking, I will try to get to know about the dogs' personality and habits first (eg. if reactive to dogs, people, squirrels or moving stuff when walking? eat stuff on the ground? sniff a lot? etc.). I will also make sure they get enough exercise, sniffing and finish their business, keep it fun for them.

Information Shirley C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know during the walking: 1. If your dog is reactive to other dogs/strangers/squirrels/moving stuff; 2. If your dog likes to pick up food or other stuff on the ground; 3. Dog's walking habit: exploring a lot himself or walking beside people with loose leash; 4. Potty habit
A typical day
During dog walking, I will let the dogs have enough time to explore the environment, get enough sniffing and stimulation, breath the fresh air and enjoy the relaxation outdoor.
