I work from home, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. They won't be left alone for long periods and will receive regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of love. I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable, safe, and right at home while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, your pet will be treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy outdoor time, along with plenty of playtime, attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. I'll follow your pet's usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and at home. For drop-in visits or care in your home, I'll make sure your pet has everything they need during each visit. This includes feeding, fresh water, potty breaks or walks, playtime, lots of love and attention, and, of course, plenty of cuddles if they enjoy them. I'll also follow any specific instructions you provide and send updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

Information Shirley L. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me as much as you can about your pet! I'd love to learn about their personality, daily routine, favorite activities, any medical needs, and anything else that will help me provide the best possible care. I also have a friendly 3-year-old who has grown up around dogs and is very gentle and respectful with them. To ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience, please let me know how your pet does around young children.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I tailor activities to their personality and energy level. We can enjoy walks, games of fetch or tug-of-war, puzzle toys, treat scavenger hunts, basic training practice, playtime, cuddle sessions, and plenty of belly rubs. If your pet prefers a slower pace, I'm just as happy to relax with them, provide companionship, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. My goal is for every pet to have fun, stay active, and return home happy and tired!

Shirley and her family were wonderful to my dog, Lucy! She sent me lots of photos and Lucy got lots of cuddles and seemed to be right at home. Definitely recommend!

We've had a wonderful experience with our dog walker & Cat sitter -Shirley. What we appreciate most is how accommodating she is. Life doesn't always go as planned, and she's been incredibly flexible with adjusting walk times and accommodating last-minute schedule changes whenever possible. Her ability to pivot on short notice has made a real difference for our family. Her years of experience caring for pets are evident. She cared for her Beagle for 17 years and her dog, Shya Lynn, for 16 years, and has hands-on experience caring for senior and sick pets, including administering insulin. She's also comfortable caring for cats, which reflects her well-rounded experience with animals. We always feel confident knowing our pets are in her care.

First and foremost Shirley is an amazing human. She's kind and compassionate which makes her a good caretaker for our fur babies. My 2 babies Ronnie and Mateo adore her and look forward to seeing her. I know I can always count on her even last minute she will help me out. I can't say enough about how grateful I am to have someone I trust to care for my babies.
