Fur babies back home with a smile!!

Pet care experience

Hello lovely pawents! Welcome to my profile. I have been away from this app for the entire 2023 year due to being busy with work and have just reactivated it again as of January 2024 and I am very excited to see returning customers again as well as meeting new fur babies! I have tremendous amount of experience through other platforms, apps, and in person returning clients and I’d be looking forward to you returning to me as well! 🙈 WHAT MAKES ME DIFFERENT FROM OTHER DOG SITTERS? 🐶 I PROVIDE MORE THAN JUST A STAY FOR YOUR FUR BABY. READ ALONG!!! 😊 About me: As we all hear the most about “the crazy cat lady”, I am “the crazy dog lady!!” Ive previously volunteered at SPCA adoption center and love to spend my free time helping animals find new loving homes! That given, I also have plenty of dog walking experience prior to the rover app. I have been dog walking on my free time as a side job the past 10+ years!! I have experience with all different breeds/size/age of dogs. I also assist in oral medication for dogs that need supervision and extra monitoring or senior dogs that need vitamins and supplements. I will provide pill pockets if needed for oral assist!! (Please let me know if your dog has any allergies since I have different flavor pill pockets!) WHAT DO I PROVIDE DURING YOUR DOGS STAY? • FREE BATH for your fur baby! (Stays for 3 nights or more) Unless you decline this service! (Veterinary Formula Clinical Care Hypoallergenic Shampoo for Dogs and Cats – No Harsh Ingredients – Pet Shampoo for Allergies and Sensitive Skin, Promotes Healthy Skin and Coat) so this will be the best way to prevent any allergy reactions! Additional options if your dog doesn’t have allergy or sensitive skin (These services are all FREE no matter what option/scent you pick!! No hidden fees) -Oatmeal and Aloe -Lavender Calming formula -Berry and Coconut • Frequent photo/video updates to let you know that they are having a blast while you guys are on vacation or small getaways!!! 📸 • Occasional treats (Please let me know if which of the following you’d do not want me to feed your fur baby: Chicken, Beef, Lamb, Apples, Peanut Butter, Sugary biscuit treats, Dental Chews • Administration of medications, if needed: Pill pocket flavors: Chicken, Peanut Butter Banana, Cheese, Hickory Smoke flavor • Doggy Playtime!! (I usually take them to the park nearby my house and have some running exercise with them! They can also meet new friends at the park! I usually have them on leash and only let them interact with around the same size dogs to prevent any unsafe situations. Feel free to let me know if you don’t want them to interact with other dogs! • Home Playtime Games: I have a huge fenced backyard where they can run around and play freely! (Tug-of-war, Fetch, I have Kongs that I sanitize and put treats inside to entertain them. •Things I need to know before your fur baby’s stay. Please read carefully the following. ⚠️ ANY triggers e.g. Seeing other dogs, seeing people during dog walk, birds, squirrels etc. please explain how they would react and how to calm them if applicable 🥜 ALLERGIES AND FOOD RESTRICTIONS 🍽 💩 Feeding and potty times 💤 Where do they usually sleep? I do allow dogs to sleep with me in my bed. If you don’t want your pup to sleep on beds please let me know and I have plush beds for them or you can bring your own! They will not be crated unless you request!

Shirley is caring and attentive, and provided ongoing updates, photos and videos. We appreciate and feel lucky that Shirley also provided a bath for our dog. I look forward to booking with Shirley again and fully recommend!

Shirley is such an amazing host for our puppy Alice. She sends regular updates and was so sweet and patient with Alice who had a bit of anxiety upon their first meeting, but with love and patience, Shirley quickly won Alice over and they were best buddies over the weekend. Thanks Shirley for being such a great host. We hope you’ll be available next time Alice needs some company!

Shirley went above and beyond to make sure our Yorkie had a great stay with her for 10 days. She was in communication every day, followed all of our instructions, alerted me with any change in behavior and sent lots of photos and videos everyday. We haven’t been away this long from him and were nervous but in the end, we had nothing to worry about. Whiskey played with Shirley dogs, got lots of play and exercise and affection. He came back very happy!! You can 100% trust Shirley to take care of your beloved dogs. We will definitely book her again!!

I am currently working from home so I have plenty of extra time to care for your fur babies! I can take them on frequent potty walks, lots of entertainment games with me, fun engaging with my pets and meeting new ones at the park and most of all they will be yearning to come back here when your family is on vacation and need someone to dogsit again!
