Pet care experience

It's A Dogs Life!

I've grown up with many different animals including dogs and my very own one and only beloved soulmate dog I had for 18 years. She went everywhere with me! I've worked alongside dogs and have taken care of my work bosses, family and friends beloved dogs whilst they are away on holiday or just out for the day. A dog is an animal and I am passionate about animals! I'm very used to having dogs of any size and age around me, all with different attitudes, abilities, characters and personalities. I love being with dogs and I love dog walking, I'm a hiker so I love the exercise and nature. I walk for the dog too, it's the dogs time not the walkers! It's allowed to sniff and will not be pulled on! Dogs bring me immense happiness.

I couldn't recommend Shirley enough. She was brilliant. She couldn't do enough for our cocker spaniel Honey. So loving and caring and constantly updating us with pictures. Next time we need a dog sitter we'll be ask Shirley.

Shirley is a wonderful dog sitter. She came to us for a meet and greet and was keen to understand all of our routines, the dogs likes and dislikes etc. Shirley arrived promptly for the dog sit, kept us up to date on the dogs' well being and sent lots of photos and videos while we were away. She looked after our home beautifully (left the kitchen cleaner than we left it)!! and was respectful throughout. We would not hesitate to ask her to sit again - she did a great job! Thank you Shirley!

Couldn’t recommend Shirley enough. She was so good with Zazu and he clearly loved his time with her. She was so great at keeping us updated and sharing photos. Thank you so much Shirley :)

It's important to know what your dog likes and dislikes are and if it has fears or allergies of any sort. Any medications to be given. What health issues if any and has your dog any disabilities. What are it's energy levels. How does your dog react with other dogs and other people including people it knows! Your veterinarians full details are also most important to tell me!
