Pet care experience

I ❤ dogs, and dogs ❤ me!

Hi there, If you are looking for a Reliable pet sitter that will spend Quality time with your babies, look no further 🤗. I am an experienced pet sitter. I love animals, I've owned several of them in the past, but don't own any at the moment. Therefore, I am very much looking forward everytime I get to pet sit, it's so exciting for me! I will take care of your pet as if they were mine, including snuggle time in bed :) I Only take 1 family at the time ❤️❤️❤️, my philosophy is quality over quantity. I can bathe pets if needed and/or take care of any special needs (administering oral meds, etc). I also prefer not to crate dogs when Im not home, but if that is your preference I will do that. Your little ones will get plenty of excercise, as I like to go for walks or runs daily am/pm for at least 30 min. I work fully remote from home, so pups will have constant supervision and flexible pick up/drop off schedule. Don't worry about anything during your vacation, your pet may not want you to come home haha 😂. I will send frequent updates and pictures to keep you posted on how your furry baby is doing ✅✅✅. I live in an apartment complex downtown Orlando, pets must be comfortable using elevators. There’s a dog park a few blocks away a from my complex! Dogs are allowed in furniture 🛋️ Any questions feel free to ask 😊. Have a nice and blessed day, Shirley I work fully remote, so there will be a lot of 1:1 time spent together 🥰, including morning/evening walks and breaks as needed throughout the day. My preference is to only pet sit one family at the time, it’s safer for me and your family ❤️. Hope this gives you additional peace of mind.

Doggy Day Care • Nov 20, 2025

Our German Shepherd, Mabel, just spent 5 hours at Shirley’s house, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the moment we dropped her off, we could tell she was in great hands. Shirley spent real, quality time with Mabel and sent us a bunch of videos throughout her stay — something that means the world to us when we’re away from our girl. Shirley’s home is absolutely beautiful, and her huge backyard was a dream for Mabel. It was clean, safe, and full of space for her to explore and play. We felt completely at ease the entire time. Monica and I are incredibly grateful we found Shirley. We can’t wait for Mabel to return — and now we can finally plan a vacation knowing our baby is not only safe, but also having a genuinely good time. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pet like family, look no further. Shirley is truly amazing. 🐾❤️

Doggy Day Care • Nov 08, 2025

I cannot say enough about Shirley and how wonderful she treated my dogs. I was nervous because it would be my first overnight away from them insomeone else’s home and she was fantastic so many updates, I felt I was there. 5+ stars from a nervous doggy mama, thanks so much 😀💙

Shirley took very good care of our Lucy. She was quick to respond to any and all of my questions, and sent daily pictures and videos. It was a great experience and we will definitely be using Shirley again.

Shirley was a big hit with our two pups! They (and their indulgent owners) immediately felt comfortable with her and her pup-friendly home. We received lots of updates and cute videos that helped us relax, knowing that our babies were being well cared for. We highly recommend Shirley and look forward to using her every time we travel to Orlando.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is number one! I always walk dogs on leash, I am very careful when opening the doors for those famous scape artists lol. When I see another dog being walked I prefer to cross the street just in case!

A typical day

I am a pretty active person and when I’m pet sitting I enjoy going on long walks and dedicate doggies play time and cuddle time!
