Pet care experience

Pet lover since 1985

I’m Shirley and I live for pets :) I take care of dogs since I’m little . I trained my first doggy Oliver by myself at 8 years old :) Then I worked for a rescue company for few years and later I became a volunteer at the Miami Dade shelter . I had training regarding safety at walking dogs . I love dogs but I’m also really careful and organized. I care a lot about safety . I live in a house and have very big yard where your furry friend can run as much as he wants to. I love to organize day trip to the park or beach! I also help local rescue and foster dogs❤️❤️. I would be glad to take of your best friend , play with him and teach him some tricks 🐶🐶 can’t wait to meet your furever friend ! 😊 I offer free pick up and drop off in 6 miles radius.

Shirley was an amazing host, we had our dog Kira with her for a week and she loved being there, Shirley made sure to send us videos and updates of Kira and we could see she was super happy there, I would book her again without a doubt!

Shirley was extremely kind and loving to my baby!!! she made my vacation stress-free by taking such good care of my Baby girl who gets pretty bad separation anxiety from me. They are true dog lovers and took care of every issue Baby had, with kindness and love!! Highly recommend to anyone in Miami!!❤️

Shirley was incredible 😍 she instantly made me feel comfortable leaving my dog with her, and she was super communicative & sent pictures throughout my trip. When I came to pick up my dog, he didn’t even want to leave!! He had the best time ever there, and so thankful for her & her space! Thank you- Milo loves you! 🫶🏻

Shirley was great! She met us and our pup Kona for a meet & greet before we booked a 5 night boarding stay with her. She has a nice private yard. She sent daily video updates. Kona seemed very calm with her, and wasn’t overly excited to leave when we picked her up 😄. We will book with Shirley again!

Shirley took care of Bodhi boy while I was out of town visiting family. She sent updates everyday including some pics and videos with all of the pups at the beach :) I highly recommend Shirley if you want your pups to be in good care and good company. Thank you so much Shirley!!! 😊

Shirley was absolutely amazing! She took our dog Coconut in at the last minute, which was such a lifesaver, and made the whole experience completely stress-free. She was incredibly communicative throughout, sending lots of updates and photos that really put our minds at ease. One of the best parts was that she had other dogs there, and Coconut was so happy having friends to play with. It really felt like a home away from home for her. She came back happy, relaxed, and clearly very well cared for. Shirley even came to pick Coconut up and dropped her back home, which was so convenient. We also had to extend Coconut’s stay, and she was more than happy to accommodate us without any hassle. We’ll definitely be using Shirley from now on whenever we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!
