I work Monday–Friday in a flexible role (mostly remote), with occasional office days where dogs are welcome too. That means your pup will rarely be left alone for long stretches. Weekends are usually free, and I love bringing dogs with me for relaxed park walks and playtime.

Information Shirley L. would like to know about your pet

It’d be great to know a bit more about your pets personality and tricks they know. Please let me know if they have a particular diet to adhere to so I’ll make sure not to give them my own treats if not suitable!

A typical day

I love having an excuse to be outside so would always bring the dogs out for walkies! When the weather is nice especially in summer, I like to bring dogs to an enclosed park to play fetch with.

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I grew up with a German Shepherd at the age of 5. I have alsolived with my sister a couple years ago and helped raise and train her miniature dachshund, and remaining a trusted dog sitter when she’s away. I work flexibly (mostly remote), so your dog will have plenty of company, attention, and care throughout the day. I live in a cosy apartment ideal for small to medium dogs, and I’m close to a local park for daily walks and playtime. I’d love to care for your pup like they’re my own!
