Pawsome Pet Care with Shirley!

Hello! I'm Shirley, a full-time project engineer with a passion for pet care. On weekends, you’ll find me hiking with my dog, Roller, exploring the great outdoors. Having grown up with both cats and dogs, I bring a wealth of experience and a genuine love for animals. I’d be delighted to take care of your beloved pet and ensure they feel safe and cherished. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need more information—I’m here to help! :)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets at your home, I prioritize maintaining their usual routine to minimize stress. I will follow your instructions for feeding, exercise, and any special care requirements. I also keep your home tidy and ensure your pet feels comfortable and loved while you’re away. Regular updates and communication are key, so you’ll always be informed about how your pet is doing. Feel free to let me know any specific preferences or needs your pet has—I’m here to provide personalized and attentive care!

Shirley was fantastic-- she came for a meet and greet on her own time even though we only had a one night booking and took care of both of our aged pets, giving them meds and dealing with an incontinent dog. She did it all with a smile! Highly recommend if you are looking for a nice, detailed oriented and responsive sitter.

Schedule

Pet care is a seamless part of my routine. During the workweek, I’m fully engaged as a project engineer, but I make sure to spend quality time with my dog, Roller. With sufficient notice and if you're nearby, I can offer weekday walks for your pet. My weekends are more flexible, allowing me to dedicate ample time to provide top-notch service, care, and attention. Don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or special requests!

Shirley can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, from Chihuahuas to American Staffordshire Terriers. To provide the best care, please let me know if your dog is leash-trained, house-trained, or has any specific habits or needs. If possible, I’d love to meet your pet in advance so they can get to know me and feel more comfortable. This will help ensure a smooth and stress-free experience for both you and your furry friend!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
