Ratings and reviews
Shirley is the best. We just love working with her! She sends the cutest photos and our dog is obsessed with her.
Shirley is amazing! She took the best care of our pup, and sent the cutest pictures of him having a ball.
Amazing!! Shirley is a dog whisperer, incredibly kind and you can tell she absolutely loves dogs and treats your pets like her own. ❤️
Shirley was amazing with our puppy! She sent updates with pictures and Herbie seemed very happy with her. We would love for her to watch him again in the future
Shirley is so fantastic with our boys ! We were so nervous due to a poor experience with a different sitter for a prior trip so Shirley was a breath of fresh air! We didn't bat an eye or worry once while away!
Shirley was very prompt and professional. She sent me updates and did some training with Barney. I felt safe leaving Barney in her care and will be using her when we go back to NYC.
