Safety, trust & environment
I’m all about creating a calm, safe space where pets feel loved and relaxed. I have experience handling different pet personalities and making sure they feel at home , I treat every fur baby like family with lots of love, play, and attention to their routine and comfort.
Information Shirley C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, routines, or quirks so I can keep them comfortable. I want to know about things like feeding instructions, medications, favorite toys, or any shyness around new people. The more I know, the more I can make our visits stress free for both you and your pet.
A typical day
For dogs, I like to make our time active and engaging walks with plenty of sniffing, potty breaks, and a chance to get their energy out. If it’s a drop-in, I’ll make sure your pet gets fed, watered, played with, and given lots of attention before I leave. For cats, I’ll scoop, feed, and spend time playing or cuddling, depending on what they enjoy. My visits are about making your pet feel loved while you’re away.

Pet care experience
I’ve been around dogs my whole life growing up, we had family dogs like beagles, goldendoodles, and a Shih Tzu. While living with my dad in New Bedford, I helped care for his pitbull and spent time with our goldendoodle, too. I’ve also helped friends with their dogs, including caring for a Chihuahua while my friend traveled. I’m confident with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I always treat them with patience, love, and care.

Reviews
Shirley C. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
I can’t recommend Shirley enough! She has a natural way with animals and always makes them feel safe, loved, and cared for. Shirley has looked after my pets many times, and I’ve never had to worry because I know they’re in the best hands. She’s responsible, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond to make sure both pets and their owners are happy. Beyond being amazing with animals, Shirley is kind, dependable, and one of the most thoughtful people I know.
Shirley is very responsible and shares a real love for animals. Her nurturing spirit makes everyone around her feel loved and at peace. She will do whatever she can to ensure pet parents feel comfortable and safe to leave their pets with her.
