Your new paw pal...

Pet care experience

I have grown up around all kinds of animals. I love them all--big or small. I am available to care after your furbaby for daily dropin visits, walks or housesitting (including pet meals) while you are away during daytime or overnight. I generally do not stay overnight in homes of new customers. After our meet and greeT, i may feel differently. Housesitting includes 2 and possibly 3 visits a day, depending on meal schedule. Since your pet's circumstances may be unique to that of others, please feel free to discuss options...I am flexible, schedule permitting. Please check out photos of pets I have cared after and contact me to discuss further.

Shirley is the best. Not only is she an amazing person overall, but she’s the best pet sitter I’ve ever had for my 4 kitty cats. I was shocked that my one cat, who is usually terrified of new people, let her pet him on the second day! She really has a way with animals. You can tell she loves and cares for them deeply. While I was gone I got daily updates and pictures most days. Shirley really went above and beyond to care for my cats. She went over twice a day and hung out with them, let them out on the patio (which is their favorite thing ever). She even helped take out our trash and brought our mail in, which she didn’t have to do. I’ll definitely be a returning customer!
