Top rated Shirley cat sitters
“Zachary helped take care of my kitty Zeus while I was away for an extended period of time. Zachary sent me updates with each visit to keep my mind at ease. He is a dependable sitter and I recommend him for your pet care needs.”
“We had a fantastic experience with Miqelle! She is an excellent communicator and is incredibly attentive to detail. From the moment we met her, we felt 100% confident that our kitties would be in great hands. Miqelle sent us adorable pictures during each visit, which always brightened our day. She promptly made us aware of any potential issues, ensuring that we were always in the loop. She even helped us reset our router after a power outage! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommended and we'll book again!”
“Angelita kept us updated with what she did during the visits and how our cats were doing. She spent some time with the obe that was hiding, and made sure the one that likes to hide was doing well. She took pictures and kept us well informed.”
“I scheduled Kelly at the last minute and she was more than willing to take care of my cat, Domino, for 3 days. She sent pictures at each daily visit to reassure me that my furbaby was well taken care of. Much appreciated Kelly!!”
“Sharleen was wonderful and went above and beyond to help our cats feel comfortable while we were away. She is a true professional and it’s clear how much she loves her work. We are grateful for her care.”
“Colin went above and beyond for our kitties. Literally sent so many photos and videos. Made sure to repeat back all of the info and gave us great update! 100/10 we love Colin and so did the kitties!”
“Bonnie did a great job watching our cat while we were away for a few days. Our cat is an aspiring escape artist and Bonnie was able to keep him inside and safe and very happy during our trip.”
“Kat continues to take great care of Kira during her visits. She has great communication and is quick to answer messages. Kat is on time and most of all Kira loves her time with Kat.”
“Rebecca is our go-to pet sitter for our two cats when we are out of town! She always takes such good care of them and sends the cutest pictures to keep us posted on how they’re doing :)”
“Stef was a total lifesaver with a last minute drop-in visit for our two dogs! They were both really happy to see her and had a great time. Stef did a fantastic job with them both and I would recommend her to anyone in the area who needs a good walker!”
About: Grew up with both dogs and cats and learned to read the little ways they communicate. I'll be sure to treat them as my own but under your specific guidance and instruction, making sure they're comfortable and cared for while you're away. I can get them moving, tucker them out, or just give them belly pats until you're home—either way, I'm sure they'll have fun! I'm a writer by day, which basically means I'm 'unemployed.' But this is great for you because I'll have plenty of time for your pets! (Not so great for the gas bill however...) It also means I have a very flexible schedule and can bend to your scheduling needs. I'm certain we can work out a time that works for both of us. I was in the Navy and the NSA and held a Top-Secret Clearance for over six years. (They don't just give those things out to anyone.) But if that's not enough to get you to feel safe, I'm also CPR certified, was an EMT, and have experience watching pets of family and friends for years and nothing bad has ever happened.
