Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Shirley… I am currently a part time student in the maplewood/SO area and have a love for all animals! I’ve always had animals growing up, from reptiles to rodents, cats and dogs. I’m a TRUSTED pet sitter because I am experienced in prioritizing the safety of you and your pet. I’m very flexible with dates and will make sure your pet gets the BEST care! I have excellent and years of experience with both dogs and cats and will cater to your pets’ needs. Trust that you can be relaxed and happy knowing your pet is safe and sound with me. :)

Shirley helped us with our new puppy acclimating to a new home. She is thoughtful, consistent, compassionate and on time. We felt so lucky to have found her, and that it was she who was able to help us. She clearly loves and understands animals. Highly recommend!

Shirley did drop-in visits for our cat while we were out of town for Christmas. She was a conscientious and communicative pet sitter. We would gladly use her again.

Information Shirley W. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

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.
