Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time and attention to each pet. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so walks, playtime, feeding, check-ins, and keeping them company are things I’m happy to build into my day. I’m used to caring for pets consistently at home, including my 3-month-old puppy and two cats, so I understand the importance of routine, supervision, patience, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether a pet needs active play, companionship, or a calmer pace, I’m able to adapt to their needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I believe pets do best when they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for, so I always focus on creating a calm and loving environment. In my home, I care for my puppy and two cats, and they coexist well, which has taught me a lot about supervision, patience, routine, and respecting each pet’s space and personality. I also have a backyard for safe, supervised outdoor time. In a client’s home, I carefully follow their instructions and respect the pet’s routine so they can feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for.

Information Shirley R. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to know their behavior during walks, home and other situations if needed. I also need to know what they like and enjoy, if they have some training. Also their triggers, and if they need some medication.

A typical day

Depending on what your pet likes, we can go hiking, take a drive to the store, or simply stay at home. I'm also flexible to adapt to new routines and activities!

Pet care experience

I’m a caring and reliable pet sitter with experience looking after both dogs and cats. I grew up helping care for family dogs, including walks, playtime, and giving them lots of affection and attention. I’ve also been around cats since I was young, and currently live with two cats, so I understand their different personalities and how to care for them with patience and respect. Having my own puppy has also helped me build practical experience with routines, basic training, supervision, and the patience that young pets need. I know how important it is for pet owners to feel that their animals are in loving and trustworthy hands, and I always do my best to provide calm, attentive, and affectionate care.

Shirley is amazing! I got tons of pictures of my pup and he was able to play all day long with her puppy. Excellent communication and super reliable. Will definitely be booking again in the future.

Shirley was absolutely amazing as a sitter for my girl, Piper. She was incredibly communicative and sent photos every day throughout the day, along with thoughtful updates on Piper’s eating, energy, and overall vibe. I always felt completely at ease knowing exactly how she was doing while I was away. Piper came home so happy, and I could tell she really enjoyed her time there - especially playing with Shirley’s dog. It honestly felt like the perfect place for her to stay. It’s rare to feel this comfortable leaving your pet with someone new, but Shirley made that possible right away. I feel so grateful to have found someone so reliable and close by, and I will absolutely call Shirley first in the future. I truly appreciate the care, attention, and love she showed Piper the entire time.
