Pet care experience

Your pup’s new best friend

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.

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.

specialize in dog walking, cat care, and drop-in visits since I can’t host pets in my home. As a mom, I understand the importance of trust and routine, and I’ll treat your pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own family. Whether your dog needs a good walk or your cat just needs feeding and some playtime, I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for.

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.
