Pet care experience

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.
