Dogs are girl’s best friend

Excellent experience. She took great care of Milah and was very kind from the very beginning. She kept me updated on how Milah was doing, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Milah seemed very calm, comfortable, and well cared for. You can tell she gave her lots of love and attention. I would definitely leave Milah with her again and highly recommend her. 🐾

Shirley was absolutely wonderful! She was able to watch our Goldendoodle, Cleo, on very short notice, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment we dropped Cleo off, Shirley provided updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that Cleo was well cared for, happy, and in great hands the entire time. We truly appreciated the love and attention Shirley gave our sweet pup. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. Thank you again, Shirley!

Shirley is the best with my pet! She’s always loving and caring for any of my needs I wanted for my little fur babies! Always easy to coordinate with anytime I need & over all amazing.

Shirley has shown incredible compassion and dedication as a dog foster. She’s cared for three foster dogs, giving each one a safe and loving home during their time of need. One special black lab stole her heart—and became a permanent member of her family. Her kindness and commitment have made a real difference in the lives of these animals.
