Mindful and loving dog/home sitter
Pet care experience
Hi everyone! My name is Shirley, I’m 24 years old, and I’ve had a soft spot for animals in my heart for as long as I can remember. I have taken care of many friends, family’s, and neighbors animals for the past 4-5 years, and have provided excellent care and compassion to the needs of dogs big, small and in between and can’t wait to get the opportunity to get to know and love your pups as my own. I am also available as a reliable and conscientious house sitter, and am available to perform a variety of tasks as needed.
Reviews
Our dog loved his stay with Shirley and we were very happy with his stay! Shirley is reliable, communicative and sent us multiple updates and pictures during our dogs stay. She made sure to care for our dogs specific needs and I would highly recommend Shirley to any of my friends!
This was our first time having our dog do a Rover stay or boarding for anything more than an overnight; this trip both of us were traveling out of the country and would be gone for 10 days. Needless to say, we were extremely nervous about leaving him and being unavailable for such a long period of time. Shirley was quick to respond and put our fears at ease. She set up a Facetime meeting initially with us just to chat about our dog and what our expectations were. A couple weeks later we went to her apartment and did a meet and greet. We again were able to talk about our dog's schedule, quirks, etc; we felt much better about leaving him after meeting Shirley, as opposed to just dropping him off with a complete stranger. From what I can tell, our dog had a good time. Since Shirley works from home, he had someone around the entire time. She does not have any kids or other animals around (an essential thing for our dog, and what makes finding boarding tough for us). He came back healthy and happy. My only very minor complaint would be better proactive communication. Shirley was very good about answering our texts/messages, but we did have to keep asking for updates about how he was doing. I would absolutely trust Shirley to watch our dog again in the future.
Hands down Shirley is the best!!!! She is kind and patient. Excellent communication. Her home is clean. She is very professional and make you feel comfortable with your fur baby in her care. If you want someone that will handle your pet with care hire Shirley!
Shirley is so sweet and treated my dog like her own. I felt completely at ease leaving my fur baby with her and would use her again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
I am a firm believer in open communication, and would value some time to meet you and your dog to get a vibe of how we all interact with each other and also be able to get a full scope of the type of care your dog would need straight from the source, based on your dog interests and personality. I thrive on meeting new people believe that this would be a great experience for all of us involved, and get a clear understanding of your needs as well. I live in a spacious pet friendly apartment, and have access to plenty of parks and open green space around me. I can’t wait to make friends with your pups and warm connections with new clients!
