Pet care experience

Caring cat owner that loves pets!

I've been watching my neighbors dog along with cats and dogs of friends and family for 12 years now. I only work part time now and make my own hours so I have a ton of flexibility in my schedule.

Shirley took great care of our two dogs ( 4yr old and 12yr old) while we were on vacation. They came home looking happy and we were thankful for the good care and ongoing photos and updates she was providing us with.

Shirley, Watches my 3 dogs all the time both as a in-house sitter as well as in her home. My dogs are Australian shepherds and not low key by any means. Shirley takes it all in stride and they just adore her. Mind you all my dogs have different dietary needs and she is spot on with all of them. If your looking for a great pet sitter she is your woman. ❤️🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 friendly cats and did have a Siberian Husky for over 16 years who crossed over last year. I love walking dogs and do have a small yard and live on a nice walkable street.

Pets

A typical day

Most dogs love walks so I like to start my time with at least 30 minutes of walk time. Being outside with the birds and bunnies is always exciting. They love the outdoor smells and get exercise at the same time. With cats they love to play with toys they can chase and I have lots of those.
