Highlights
Pet care experience
A home away from home 🐾 🇨🇴
I have always had a special love for animals, especially dogs. To me, caring for a dog means more than just providing a place to stay; it’s about ensuring they feel safe, calm, and loved throughout their visit. I work from home, so your dog will have company and supervision for most of the day. I live in a home with a large, fully fenced yard where they can play, explore, and have fun, alongside regular walks and downtime tailored to their specific needs. I enjoy getting to know each dog's personality and respecting their routine—their schedule, their likes, what puts them at ease, and what might make them uncomfortable. Every dog is unique and deserves care that is thoughtfully tailored to them. I also understand that leaving your four-legged companion with someone else can be worrying. That’s why I like to keep families updated during the stay, sharing photos and videos so you can see how they are doing and feel at ease while you are away. I spent several years working in animal nutrition and wellness, collaborating with families and veterinarians—experience that complements my many years of living with and caring for dogs. I prioritize quality over quantity, which is why I host only a limited number of dogs at a time. This allows me to dedicate time, attention, and affection to them and truly get to know each one. My goal is for you to travel with peace of mind, knowing your best friend is in good company, well cared for, and enjoying their own little adventure. It would be a pleasure to welcome your dog into our home and make them feel like part of the family.

Ratings and reviews
After having very bad experiences with other pet sitters, I found this place where my dogs are happy, treated with love, and receive personalized care. I love that they only accept a few dogs and treat them like family
Excellent pet sitter! My dog was treated like part of the family and received lots of love, playtime, and attention. The daily updates were greatly appreciated, and I felt completely comfortable knowing my dog was in such caring hands. We will definitely be back!

Schedule
I work from home, so the dogs are naturally part of our daily routine. They have company, supervision, and time to play, rest, and go out into the yard during the day.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a spacious, fully fenced yard where they can safely enjoy time outdoors. Walks and activities are tailored to each dog, taking into account their age, personality, energy levels, and usual routine. I don't aim to fill the house with dogs; I prefer to host a small number so I can provide truly personalized attention.

A typical day
Every day is different because every dog is different, too. There will be time for playing, resting, going out into the yard, walking, and getting plenty of cuddles—always respecting their personality and energy level. I like to maintain a stable routine so they feel secure, but I’m also flexible when they need something different.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsSpayed and neutered dogs onlyNo females in heatCrate-trained dogs onlySHIRLEY can host up to 3 pets per night
- Before the stay, I’d like to know a little bit about your dog: * Their usual routine * Feeding schedule and diet * Medications or special needs * Allergies * Fears or situations that might cause anxiety * How they interact with other dogs or people * Their favorite games and activities * Anything else you consider important The more I know about them, the better I can care for them and make them feel right at home.
