I cannot say enough good things about Shirley and how well she took care of Pono. He got a ton of exercise, was given loads of attention, and she sent plenty of updates about how he was doing, which made our travel completely stress-free. 100% Recommend!!

Shirley was a fantastic host for our 5-day boarding reservation. She was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up, gave frequent updates with pictures and videos, and was very accommodating of all care instructions. Shirley asked a lot of good questions to make sure we were aligned with our expectations. It's clear she has a lot of experience with dogs, and her house and yard were perfect for our large, somewhat active dog. We will definitely be going back to Shirley with future dog sitting needs!

Shirley is the best dog sitter ever! Our pup Leilani had such a great time with her, and it was so clear she cared for her like she was her own. We felt completely at ease knowing Leilani was in such loving and responsible hands. 100% recommend Shirley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and amazing dog sitter!

Schedule

I have a very flexible schedule. I miss the interaction and company dogs bring to me. They make me happy and I absolutely would treat them as if they were my own with excellent care and love.
