Pet care experience

Your pet's new best friend

I love all animals, big or small! Schedule permitting, I am available to care after your furbaby for daily dropin visits, walks or house/petsitting while you are away. House/petsitting includes 2 or possibly 3 visits a day, depending on the pet's meal or potty schedule. Since your pet's circumstances may be unique to that of others, please feel free to discuss options, or schedule a meet and greet where we may discuss. Please check out photos of pets I have cared after and contact me with any questions or to meet up.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I will gladly care for your pet from the comfort of your home, by feeding them, playing with them, sending them to bed and returning for morning potty time and/or additional visits, as required for your pet. Feel free to discuss your pet's specific needs. In some instances, drop-in fees may be required for multiple trips per day. Note...unless otherwise arranged, I am unable to sleep overnight. For your safety, please know I have recently been FBI screened (for chaperoning), as well as undergone background checks at Rover, the local school, and Florida Bar (Paralegal).

Shirley was great with our dogs! She is very communicative and responsible. I would absolutely use her again! The pups were happy and well cared for.

Shirley was absolutely amazing! From the moment she met my dog, they were instantly obsessed with her. She gave my baby so much love and attention, provided regular check-ins, followed all of my instructions carefully, and always clarified anything she was unsure about to make sure she was giving the best possible care. I also received so many adorable pictures that clearly showed how loved and happy my furbaby was during the stay. I couldn’t feel more confident leaving my dog with her, and I know my pup is already looking forward to the next stay!

Shirley has been wonderful!!! She was so patient and communicative the whole way for our drop ins! Luna was very sketchy at first and ended up jumping on her lap for cuddles at the end of it!

Shirley is the best!! She always goes above and beyond for my senior dog making sure he is okay when I have to go out of town. She is so great with Hank - attentive, caring, loving. Everything you hope for when trusting someone to care for your pet when you have to leave town!!

Shirley was absolutely awesome with my pug babies. Each of them has a special need and the care rendered by Shirley was exceptional. Highly, highly recommend. Shirley sent pics of the babies and it warmed by heart knowing they were is such great hands.
