Hello, I am Shirley and I have always been lucky enough to have animals in my life. From a very young age there have been more animals in the house than people, we even had a bath tub full of rescued ducklings once! Our pets growing up varied from: rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, budgies, cockatiels, cats and dogs.
Since childhood I have always viewed our pets as part of our family. As an adult, my husband and I have always had Boxer dogs and have raised our daughters to respect and be responsible animal lovers too. I believe pets add an extra layer of life, love and of course laughter to any home. We now have a rescued English Bulldog named Bobby who is such a character and fills our days with joy!
Being a pet owner myself, I understand the worries and anxieties that can be associated with leaving your pet when you are away which is why I can assure you that your beloved pet(s) will be well cared for by myself in your absence. I will always send you photos/videos and detailed updates after each visit to help ease those pet parent worries. I am happy to do up to two visits per day which can include: changing of litter trays, changing water, feeding, dog walking and of course giving them lots of attention and affection (if they like this). I have looked after many house cats in the past so I am conscious to be cautious when opening/closing doors when entering and leaving.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Hope to hear from you soon :)

this was the 2nd time we have worked with Shirley - and again she was great! great communication, trustworthy, timely, gives us updates about the animals and they also really like her. thanks Shirley, we'll be in touch!
Shirley was great with our little cat, Tigs! She sent video & photo updates that reassured us he was doing well. We had to change feeding plans last minute, and she handled that beautifully, and looked after him when he was a little poorly. We're definitely happy to recommend her.
