Halley has had another amazing stay with Shirley, she settled back in well. Shirley has been amazing at accommodating Halley at short notice and rearranged her plans multiple times to help out which I really appreciate. Halley gets 5 star treatment with Shirley, I always receive updates and photos of her having a fabulous time.

I found Shirley through Rover. She is very local to me. My dogs thoroughly enjoyed them self’s. Shirley is very friendly, adores dogs. She looked after my two babies like their own. Kept me up to date and sent me lots of pictures. I am very happy with her service. Will definitely use her again 🥰 Thank you so much 😊 xx

Luna has stayed with Shirley a few times now and loves her visits….so much so that she drags me there every time! She sends me regular updates, videos and photos. She gives Luna both attention and time out whenever she needs it. I have no hesitation in recommending Shirley and will contact her the next time I’m away. Thanks again

Shirley has been absolutely fantastic with my dog Halley, she stayed for a week and has loved her stay. Shirley kept me updated everyday with messages, photos and videos of Halley. I would definitely recommend Shirley, she has gone above and beyond to make Halley and me feel comfortable.

Shirley was brilliant from start to finish. I have 2 miniature schnauzers who have always stayed with family when we have gone away so I was quite nervous about leaving them. Shirley gave me loads of reassurance, I was regularly updated with pictures and messages. The dogs were settled and happy. Would not hesitate for Shirley to look after my dogs in the future.
