Doggy Day Care • May 02, 2026

Shirley was a great sitter, even if it was only for a couple hours, she took her on a long walk and made sure that our Daisy was well taken care of. We would recommend her!

Shirley did a fantastic job looking after our three kitties. She was very responsive and communicative. I highly recommend her, and I would absolutely use her again.

This is our second time having Shirley watch our pups. She is fantastic. She is affectionate, caring, and detail-oriented. She kept us updated throughout the stay and followed our instructions to the letter. Although we miss them dearly while we are away, we are comforted to know they are in good hands.

I’m very flexible with sitting, walking, and drop ins. Im a student and have class for about an hour a day in the late morning and will be very flexible with you. I can take your dogs out for multiple potty breaks and park walks because I’m home almost all day! I don’t mind waking up extra early to accommodate your pet. Just let me know when is the best time for you.

Safety, trust & environment

I love playing with dogs and cats, and can provide your pets a lot of stimulation when you’re busy. I make sure all needs are met. I make sure all poops and pee gets cleaned thoroughly and clean all my animals at home daily as well. Im also very attentive and will keep a keen eye on your pets well-being. I will send lots of updates and photos upon request and will always prioritize your pet’s safety through communication.

Pets

A typical day

I can play with your dog and walk them for a period of time in the neighborhood parks or dog parks near my house. I’m very responsible and will pick up any poops and dispose of. I will also be able to play with your cat with toys, games, and chasing objects. Your dog or cat will be tired after the mental and physical stimulation and won’t bother you in your sleep haha.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs

Shirley can host up to 8 pets per night
Let me know if your pet has special needs if they get along with other animals and people. You must be honest about your pets behavioral issues or if they are untrained/unsocialized. I have the right to cancel on a aggressive animal that will put me or your pet in danger. Please provide a very detailed feeding schedule and preferences for play time/walks. You must let me know if they have bathroom issues as well, or other medical issues that require medication or extra care. Failure to disclose these information will result in cancellation :( this is for the safety of your pet.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
