Shirley goes over and beyond - has loved on our golden retriever like she is her own! Our dog cries when she sees her she’s so excited. She is tidy, prompt, friendly and responsible! She has watched our pup over Christmas holidays when we were out of the country and when we had our son. You can rely on her in any situation!
