Pet care experience

*they'll have a good time*

Hello there! I've been caring for dogs since I can remember. I used to take care of my three family dogs back home and dog-sit for others in the neighborhood. I kept doing this as a pastime through graduating from college and my free time afterward. I enjoy taking care of others' furry children. I am ready to walk, run, and play as much as they want. I will love and care for them as if they were my own.

Shirley took good care of our Loverboy. We will definitely use her again. She and her husband was very welcoming. I would strongly recommend her. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It was such a pleasure to have Shirley watch our dog. He is a senior dog and requires additional attention. Shirley was amazing and keeping us up to date on how he was doing and he honestly was on vacation himself. He had so much fun!

Shirley was great! She catered to Daisy's needs, sent pictures and updates daily. She took great care of my fur-baby.

Shirley Is a Great Sitter. She is patient and dedicated when it comes to taking care of our 2 girls. Her picture/video makes you feel comfortable that they are happy and safe. I would highly recommend Shirley!

Shirley was amazing! First time boarding my dog with her and she helped me to feel so reassured that Ella was in good hands. I got lots of updates and Ella seemed comfortable there too!

Shirley and her husband Will did a great job to take care of my dog while we went away for 3 weeks. My dog had a great time staying with them. Shirley keep us updated of my dog Toto daily, make us worry free during our trip. Highly recommended!

Safety, trust & environment

FOR BOARDING: My husband, William, and I live in a spacious house with a great, fully fenced yard (perfect for zoomies and for those who fancy themselves escape artists). We don't currently have any pets of our own :( but that just means more space and attention for your furry children. --- __ (\, -------'( )'--o (_ __ _ _ / ~" (_)_) (_)_) - - - It's meant to look like a dog 😅🐶 WHAT TO BRING: 1- poop bags! 2- their leash 3- water and food bowls 4- food (and treats) 5- their fav. toy 6- day bed (if they use it a lot at home) 7- sweater / rain jacket / booties (if they really need it) and 8- your furry children, of course.

A typical day

- - - We could walk or run around the neighborhood, but we could also hang out in the backyard and sunbathe. They will also enjoy some petting, hair brushing, and even showers if needed.

Shirley can host up to 2 pets per night

Would you be comfortable with them sharing the space with other dogs? 2- Are they reactive to anything specific during walks or while at home? 3- Are there any bad habits your dog does that I should be aware of? 4- Can they eat table food? 5- Are they allowed on the furniture? 6- Do they sleep in your bed? 7- ???
