Availability
I and my husband, Chris, are at home all week so your precious furry friend will never be left alone at any time so will always have human company as well as that of our calm Springer Spaniel, Jazz. We do not plan days or evenings out when dog minding. Walks are twice a day (more if needed) as we live by Epsom Downs and have woods at the end of our road. Our home is air conditioned and in hot weather walks will be early morning and early evening with toilet breaks and plays in our secure, back garden in between (as required). In hot weather, walks will be early morning/early evening in the woods at the bottom of our street. Our home is air conditioned so ideal for cooling off during the day.

Safety, trust & environment

Home
Information Shirley W. would like to know about your pet
Ideally your dog will be well socialised with good recall (off lead) and sociable with other dogs. Confidence around children is essential as occasionally my grandchildren visit. My grandchildren have been brought up with dogs, cats and various small animals and they are well behaved and respectful to all pets.
A typical day
Two walks daily on Epsom Downs (unless owner restricts). Play time in the garden - games of tug, fetch and catch if your dog likes to play. Attention and cuddles - on the sofa if your dog is permitted on sofas. Your dog will be treated as our own for the day/boarding and will receive lots of TLC.

Loving family home for your precious doggy
Pet care experience
I have had pets all my life since childhood - dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs. I have a Springer Spaniel called Jazz who is calm and well trained who loves other dogs, people and children - she is well behaved and very affectionate. Your precious dog will be welcomed into an air conditioned home (for hot weather comfort) with lots of attention, play and long walks in the woods and the downs nearby. My house is roomy with a secure, fenced garden with lots of space for sniffing around and play time. I am fully insured and have a Level 3 Advanced Certificate in Animal First Aid, an up to date enhanced DBS check and years of experience with animals of all ages/sizes and temperaments. Your special girl or boy will receive lots of TLC and will never be left alone in the house. My husband, Chris, also a massive animal lover, works from home and if I need to go out for a few hours, he will always be here to provide consistent care and attention.
Reviews
Amazing sitter, our dog has stayed twice and we’ve been very happy both times. Great communication and very accommodating. So helpful to have a reliable sitter.
Shirley and Chris have been great as always. We received updates and the communication has been fantastic throughout. Thanks again. We’ll be back in October 🙂
Another great stay at Shirley’s for our dog, she always settles well and is very happy to be there, which is testament to how well Shirley and Chris look after her. Would definitely recommend them and will definitely be booking again for our next holiday.
Another wonderful stay for Lottie, thank you. Lottie just loves to stay with Shirley and Jazz. She has plenty of lovely walks on the Epsom Downs and is looked after beautifully. Lots of photo updates for us too! Thank you for taking such great care of her and providing a home away from home
