About Shirley

We have a house where your pet will be one of the family. Our home has a large enclosed garden and there are wonderful parkland close by for walks.

Our own pets have ranged from many cats to two mini-poodles. Our last fur-kid, our little chocolate poodle, Pippi died this year, aged 17.

We have been a regular dog sitter for a spoodle called Purpie. Each year she comes to us for the Christmas holidays while her owners go overseas. But now that we have no animals of our own, we would be open to looking after other pets as well.

Owning cats and dogs now for over 30 years, I have experienced many different personalities in animals and seem to have an affinity with most. We have only had animals that are inside animals and we

enjoy letting them share our home.

There are extensive parklands near to our house where a dog can enjoy either on-lead or off-lead exercise. We would walk your dog in these parklands. Any pet staying with us would be treated like family.

Our dog had the most wonderful stay with Shirley and was spoiled with affection! We got lots of great photos while we were away, and we know he had a great time as he was a bit sad to come home haha

Shirley took very good care of our senior dog who has arthritis. She took the time and effort to understand our dog’s many quirks and in a few short days knew Milo almost as well as we did. Thanks again, Shirley.
