Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog is my top priority.
I have had dogs for more than 15 years now and during these last 15 years, I have worked as a groomer and a sitter for many dogs. As a groomer, I am trained to access the well being of dogs. I also train my dog during walks and while being around other people and dogs. I will interact with your dog using basic commands so it will feel secure, safe and confident in my care.

Amazing!
Shirley was great! Our dogs got along great. I was worried about Sadie having separation anxiety but she settled in fine, and had a great time with Shirley!
I have been using Shirley for dog sitting services for over a year now and I couldn't be happier with the care she provides for my furry friend. From daily walks (Usually a 45 mins to an hour of walk, everyday) to overnight stays, Shirley goes above and beyond to make sure my dog is well taken care of and loved while I am away. Her communication is always prompt and thorough, and I appreciate the updates and pictures she send me while I'm gone. I have complete peace of mind knowing that my pup is in good hands with Shirley. I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. Thank you, Shirley, for taking such great care of my furry family member!
I am delighted to provide a recommendation for Shirley as both a dog walker and dog sitter. Shirley's extensive experience in dog walking, and her training as a pet groomer and basic dog training skills, make her more than qualified for anyone looking for a dog walker or dog sitter. However, what really sets Shirley apart is how kind she is and the peace of mind she provides. Whenever Shirley has cared for my dog, Allie, I never had to worry. Leaving behind a pet can be difficult, but knowing Allie was in Shirley's capable hands put my mind at ease. I feel like Shirley also went above and beyond to make sure Allie received plenty of exercise during their time together. If you are looking for someone who is dependable, kind, and truly cares for animals, I wholeheartedly recommend Shirley.
I’m very protective of my dog and I trust Shirley 100% with my husky. She’s punctual and professional. I’ve observed her on training walks and manage more lively and energetic puppies. She even has a background in dog grooming!
I highly recommend Shirley for all your pet sitting needs. Her responsible and caring nature made me feel at ease leaving my furry friend in her care. Not only did she ensure my dog's needs were met, but she also went above and beyond to provide love and attention. With her reliability and dedication, I never had to worry while I was away. Trust Shirley to take excellent care of your beloved pet!

Schedule
I work from home and so that means your dog with be with me 24/7. We will start the day with a relief first, then followed by breakfast. An hour or so later, I will take your dog out for a poop walk. Then in the afternoon around 3 or 4 pm, we will head for long walk or to a dog park if your dog likes it and is good in it. South Pawsadena is my choice. For walking, I usually go to these places: The Rose Bowl, the Arroyo, Silver Lake or Elysian Park. After that we’ll come home rest a bit and then have dinner. I will take your dog out one more time before calling it the day.

Safety, trust & environment
I love dogs and I’m very sweet and gentle with them. When your dog is with me, you can be sure I'll treat them like they're my own. I will put its safety and well bring first before anything. I have knowledge in basic training and I will use it on your dog and through that your dog will feel safe and secure and eventually becoming a more confident dog. But I also like cuddling and hanging out with dogs to relax and enjoy beautiful moments.
