Pet Boarding Shirley

About: My love for animals shines through in every moment I spend with them. I’ve had pets my entire life and began walking neighborhood dogs as a kid, quickly realizing how much I loved caring for animals. I’m experienced with pets of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments — including dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, reptiles, and aquatics. Whether furry, feathered, or scaled, your pets will be cared for like family. I’m also fully insured, giving you extra peace of mind while you’re away. Offering trusted, personalized care right here in your community. Currently providing services in The Brio, The Reserve, Country Point, Whispering Pines, Colonial Woods, Station Yards and beyond. Pet care is my full-time passion! I’m dedicated to providing superior care when you need it. Every service is thoughtfully curated to address the care your pet requires. Walks and Drop-Ins are scheduled with plenty of dedicated time, allowing me to be fully present for both my Day Care and Boarding guests. Every visit also includes supervised enrichment and social play activities. I take a flexible approach to pet care, tailoring my attention to meet your pet’s individual needs…whether they’re high-energy and adventurous or laid-back and easygoing. My goal is to provide a loving, safe environment where your pet is always my priority. You’ll receive detailed daily updates, complete with photos and videos, so you can feel confident knowing they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

“Lisa and Michael are wonderful. Their love of animals is clear and they immediately put us at ease. They watched our dog for 10 nights, and we received photos and updates several times each day. We could tell that he was well cared for and happy. We are so glad that we found them!”

About: For the comfort and safety of every pup, I only host one family’s dog at a time. This allows me to give your dog my full attention and maintain a calm, low stress environment. My care goes beyond the basics. it’s rooted in genuine love and experience. My journey caring for Kayne, our special needs dog, taught me how to handle medical routines, provide comfort, and stay attentive to every detail. That experience shaped my approach to every pet I welcome. I understand that each animal deserves patience, respect, and love. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or needs a little extra care, they’ll always be treated like family in our home. We’re CPR and First Aid certified, giving you extra peace of mind while your pup is in our care. Pet care is woven into my daily life and something I genuinely love. As a stay at home mom, I’m home full time to give every furry friend constant love and attention. Our days revolve around walks, playtime, and snuggles. Caring for our late dog, Kayne, who developed a spinal injury and heart condition, taught me that true care takes patience, compassion, and adaptability qualities I bring to every pet I meet. In our home, every animal is treated like family. I provide a clean, safe, and active space with multiple walks, a fenced yard for play, and individualized routines. Through my experience caring for Kayne, who required special medical attention, I learned how to adapt to any level of care whether it’s energetic puppies or older companions needing extra comfort. You can feel confident knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands that treat them as one of our own.

“Kellie was amazing! She communicated great the whole time, and sent updates about our dogs throughout the trip. Couldn’t have asked for a better person. Thank you!”

“I read Matt and Kirsten’s reviews when I needed to board my dog in a pinch, and I thought these reviews may be overstating how wonderful they are. The truth is, they are UNDERSTATING it. I’m not sure nicer, sweeter, more attentive dog sitters exist. They were so true and genuine in their caring of my 2 yr old lab - maybe even more than I am and I’m a pretty crazy dog mom. I felt so at ease on my trip because I knew how happy my hound was and M + K communicated with frequency and love. My dog had THE best time. Thanks so much for an amazing stay for Danny and incredible peace of mind for me.”

“Amber is a great sitter I felt very comfortable leaving my girls with her. Definitely would recommend and I will be use Amber's service again.”

“Kerri and her family took great care of our big Newfoundland mix. Her dogs were friendly and played well with my dog all week. I appreciated getting photos every day which let me know my dog Juneau was happy and safe! Looking forward to booking with her again in the future. Thanks again!!!”

“Colleen is THE BEST! We left our baby, Tako with her for 15 days and we already had a good feeling after meeting her and visiting her impeccably clean and dog friendly home. We received the MOST wonderful pics every day of our boy playing with the other doggies, enjoying the back yard, the sun room (his favorite I think) and of course cuddling up to Colleen and her husband on the couch and bed. Things we LOVE about Colleen....only small/medium size dogs, great space for doggies to roam and find their favorite spot, great communication and MOST of all, her wonderful manner and love of dogs. We know that she cared for our Tako as if he were her own. Thank YOU Colleen, we will be back again and again and of course recommend you highly to anyone needing your service.”

“Catherine was amazing! Her and her husband were very sweet and knowledgeable! They took the time to do a proper meet and greet which helped my dog get to know them and made my experience so comforting to know exactly where my dog would be as well as get to know who my dog would be staying with. They sent updates throughout the entire time. My dog was so happy, well cared for, and felt at home. Highly recommended booking Catherine!”

“Thank you so much for taking care of Luna and for being so flexible with the hours.”

“I booked with Christina last year for few days and she was an excellent care giver. I would say the best pet sitter I worked with. When I picked up my pet he was clean and looked happy. I sure he had an excellent stay at Christina's. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Christina for taking good care of my buddy.”

About: Hi! I’m Jo, and I specialize in caring for small dogs who are used to being someone’s whole world. After struggling to find a sitter who truly only takes one dog at a time, I decided to become the kind of sitter I was searching for. I know how hard it is to leave your little one with someone else. Small dogs aren’t just pets — they’re shadows, cuddle buddies, emotional support systems, and family. They thrive on attention, routine, and feeling safe. That’s exactly what I provide. If the thought of your small dog feeling scared or lost among a pack worries you, you’ve found the safe place you’ve been looking for I work from home so will be able to give full attention. I understand small dog energy — from clingy Velcro pups to sassy little bosses. I’m patient, attentive, and very tuned in to their comfort and routines. Right now, caring for my own small dog is part of my everyday life. I follow a consistent routine with regular walks, feeding times, play sessions, and lots of affection throughout the day. I make sure my dog gets enough exercise but also has quiet time to rest, especially after walks or play. I’m very attentive to their behavior and mood, so I can quickly notice if something seems off.

“Axel loved his 3 day stay with Jennifer! She takes great care of her pups, and gives tons of 1 on 1 attention. We appreciated the photo/video updates during his stay. Highly recommend Jennifer and would definitely book again!”

About: My fiancé has been a pet groomer for 18 years and started a grooming business (Krystal’s Klassy Kutz) in our home a few years ago which has been thriving! Always being around the pups that come to our home for grooming services inspired me to also work with dogs. I started only with her clients but decided to branch out and offer my services to all. I can provide up to date references upon request. Your dog is never left alone. Someone is always home. I’m also available for home visits. You can contact me 24/7 I’m always available for you. Completely fenced in, private yard for your pup’s safety. Plenty of play time throughout the day. Paws n claws on TV all of the time!

“Great family. Hard working and very reliable. Plus has no problem working with whatever situation you might get stuck on during a vacation. Great job we will book again.”

“Catherine takes special care to accommodate each pet individually and follow any instructions . I have 2 seniors and they do very well at her home and in her care. They have stayed with her several times. She updates frequently which is a relief to me while away. This past stay was the longest so far and all went well. Great pet sitter”

Jeanne G.

“I couldn't ask for better care. Amanda has a big back yard with all sorts of activities for dogs to keep them engaged through the day so was more like camp for dogs. Very friendly and always available, plus lots of pics and videos though the day. Would never want to use a kennel again after the treatment Amanda gives her guests!”

James G.

“We had Jennifer watch our older GSD Dolly for the first time this week. Jennifer and her husband took very good care of our girl, were very attentive to her needs. She sent pictures of a happy, smiling dog to us, which we appreciated. Looking forward to using Jennifer for a much longer stay in the near future. They are definitely dog people.”

“Alejandro was great with our 5 month old puppy Shrek. He sent us lots of videos of Shrek on walks, and socializing with other dogs. It was our first time leaving Shrek and and the videos and frequent communication with Alejandro was very comforting. Bizcocho was a great playmate too. Since Shrek is a puppy and still learning it is important to us that he be around friendly dogs like him. The next time we need to leave Shrek with someone Alejandro and Bizcocho are our first choice. Thanks Alejandro!”

“Lauren was a kind and caring sitter. Great communication and flexible with traffic and drop off times etc when it was necessary. She even gave me a litter scoop to take with us on our road trip. Thank you Lauren! Appreciate you taking such good care of Sweet Pea.”
