We do at least 3 walks a day, dog parks after work, and fun adventures on the weekends. Normally we eat breakfast around 8:30, go for a potty walk, and play. During the weekday, I take them out every 4 hours and do mental puzzles at home. If the weather is nice, we will go to a nearby dog park. On weekends, we tend to go out for outdoor adventures if the weather is nice

Information Shirley C. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to learn about your dogs personality and any quirks. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requires special attention to. Anything I need to look out for in terms of the environment or dislikes.

A typical day

I like to give them treat puzzles and take them out for walks. I have a mix of DIY frozen treats and also sniffing mats. If weather is nice, we will go to the dog park and on weekends, we try to do hikes.

Pet care experience

I've pet sit for my friends dogs and have raised a corgi puppy from 10 weeks old! I love dogs and will treat yours like mine. I have a playful and friendly corgi who plays well with all dogs. Plus I give excellent scratches. I will send a bunch of photos, as long as you don’t mind me spamming you with them!

Shirley watched my dog over a holiday weekend and she was amazing! I was so worried because I had never left my dog with anyone else before. But she was very caring towards my dog and made her feel comfortable. She took my dog outside several times a day. She also constantly sent me update photos which I loved! I'm so glad to have found her.

Shirley and Ben were very communicative and responsive. They asked detailed questions and seemed attentive to my dog. I’m appreciative for their care!
