Testimonials
Shirley-ann takes her house/animal sitting role extremely seriously and ensures every aspect is covered according to the brief of the owner. Nothing was too much of task for her.
Had a great experience with Shirley Ann coming to look after my two dogs and horses, I would highly recommend!
Her communication from day one has been great, very responsive whilst we were planning dates and sorting out our contract.She is very professional, and also the most warm and caring person with our animals 🥰.
Shirley Ann provides first class live in animal care. I cannot fault her professional attitude and offering. I would 100% recommend her to anybody. (Except I wouldn't because she is already booked months ahead and I want to keep her a secret!!)
I cannot praise Shirley-Ann and Hoof & Hound enough. She understands how important our pets are to us and is more than happy to follow our routines exactly. She is highly professional and very understanding. After years of not feeling comfortable enough to leave my furry one with anyone, it's amazing to see him get so excited when Shirley-Ann arrives. Thank you
She’s extremely attentive and can be trusted completely and especially if things go wrong, she makes sound decisions. I would recommend if you want peace of mind, give her a call.
She’s amazing , your animals will be happy you did.
We cannot recommend her highly enough…I would trust my horses, dogs, cats and any other fourleggeds with Shirley Ann again and again and again.
A caring and knowledgeable professional who adapts to each character. Such peace of mind knowing they are in safe hands.
I cannot recommend Shirley Ann highly enough – when my four dogs don’t even bother to get off their beds to greet me when I get home after a week away as they are too cozy with Shirley Ann, what other recommendation is needed?
One of my horses is prone to abscesses and she was happy and able to handle the necessary (sometimes tricky) treatment of it when he developed one just before she was due here.
Such is my confidence in her that during her last few sits she has run my Kennel and Cattery business for me which means I am not trying to juggle a few days away in between client bookings.
We chose Shirley-Ann to look after our 6 dogs because she is always kind and considerate towards their needs. The dogs all love her and get excited when she is due to see them. I would recommend her highly to anyone.
Shirley Ann takes the time to understand the needs and routine of the animals along with their personalities and quirks. She is very experienced which was essential for me as the horses are both very large and one is a stallion. She is also a very genuine and lovely lady. Highly recommended!
She follows all instructions to the letter and is competent, caring and highly experienced. I’m a little ashamed to say that I barely give my animals a second thought whilst I’m away, knowing that they are safe, cared for and happy with Shirley Ann.
With the professional help from Shirley Ann, we can relax while we are away. Very importantly, my ageing horse with bronchial and joint challenges will be expertly managed and cared for. Knowing that Shirley Ann would know when and how to call a vet out makes all the difference to me.
