BFFs with your pets!

Pet care experience

I've been house sitting and taking care of my friends' pets while they are traveling. I'm experienced with both cats and dogs. You can count on me to take care of your high energy pets with daily exercise. I only accept one client at one time so your pet will get full time attention. I pride myself on great communication and will make sure to read any and all pet care instructions before entering your home.

Shirley is absolutely incredible. She took such good care of my dog, communicated with me nonstop and left my place spotless. 10/10 recommend her and will 100% be hiring her again. I am so impressed and so happy with how great of a job she did!!!

Shirley took great care of Auggie! She provided regular updates, followed all care instructions and most importantly, picked up on all or Auggie's cues and quirks! He was a happy boy when we came back home

It’s always hard leaving our cat for days at a time, but we knew Shirley would take great care of her. She was super professional and communicative, and our cat seemed to have a great time. We’ll definitely be booking her again!

I don't have any pets myself and my apartment is not pet friendly so I am happy to come to your home. While house sitting and caring for your pet, please share with me any schedules and rules your pet is accustomed to, pet food or treats, harness/leash, pet toys, compatibility with other animals, emergency contacts, etc. I maintain established meal and walk schedules. I am happy to bring in the mail, packages or deliveries, and water your plants (if any). I will make sure you return to your home just as you left it. I will be in constant communication with you over text messages (or preferred method). Happy to send pictures, videos, and frequent updates.

Information Shirley H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advance if there are any special needs or instructions when caring for your pet. Please share any schedules and rules your pet is accustomed to, pet food or treats, allergies, harness/leash, pet toys, compatibility with other animals, emergency contacts, tricks or triggers, etc

A typical day

I love to play frisbee, fetch or tug a war with dogs. I'm athletic and have a lot of energy so can take your pet out for longer walks or runs if your pet is up for it. I also give great tummy rubs!

I am a health tech sales professional and currently taking a career break, so I have a flexible schedule. I have ample amount of time to focus on your pet any day of the week. I am also an avid runner and outdoor enthusiast, and I'd be thrilled to take your dog out for long trail runs, frisbee or fetch in the park, or easy walks around the neighborhood.
