Hi!
I'm an avid animal lover, and my passion for the wellbeing of animals is what drives me.
I grew up in a family of animal lovers, and had the privilege of growing up with the companion
of dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits to terrapins. I currently live with an adopted Singapore Special and have been fostering for private rescuers for more than 4 years. I take care of dogs for friends and relatives while they go for vacation too. At the same time, I take care of the community cats around the neighbourhood, and also (within means and resources) rehome them whenever possible.
I do have experience taking care of sick dogs as well, I took care of a terminally-ill foster till he took his last breath.
My working hours are flexible, and I will try to accommodate your schedule when arranged in advance.
House visits
I will spend a minimum of 45 mins to 1 hour at your place. During this time, I will feed, pet, engage and interact with your pet to keep them mentally stimulated. I will also clean up their toileting area and play some simple games with them so they don't get bored. Lots of photos and videos will be sent via Whatsapp to you so you don't miss them too much during the day.
Doggywalks
A minimum 45 mins walk around the neighbourhood. I believe in the importance of sniffing during walks for mental enrichment. Hence, I like to take the dogs out on a slow unrushed walk, allowing ample time for the dogs to explore with their noses so both physical and mental needs are satisfied.
For every house visit assignments, I will arrange for a complimentary visit prior to understand your pet/s a little bit better as well as to take note of any special instructions that you may have.
If you think I'm what you're looking for, do have a chat with me!

My partner and I hired Shirley to cat sit while we were both on holiday, since our usual friends were unavailable.
Shirley provided us the assurance that our cat was safe and happy by going the extra mile. Not only did she send us photo updates of our cat, she made the effort to spend time playing with our cat. She also checked on our cat’s poop/pee status each visit. Additionally, she diligently cleaned our cat (our cat’s eyes are prone to tear stains and eye gunk), which we appreciated.
Overall, Shirley is a great cat sitter and it’s evident that she loves and cares a lot for cats. Highly recommend!
We left our cat and 2 chinchillas under Shirley’s care for 11 days, this was the first time fur-kids were home alone and our first at engaging a pet-sitter. Turns out Shirley delivered much more than what we expected. During her twice daily visits we were kept updated promptly with videos and photo, which really put our mind at ease. House was kept clean & tidy, furkids were well taken cared and our cat loves her!
Besides being great at caring for furkids, Shirley also assisted with things that required immediate attention such as resetting a trapped robot vacuum, bringing in a parcel that was left outside the gate, removing a wall-mounted shelf that dropped etc. We felt so lucky to have such an amazing pet-sitter for our furkids :)
