“🐾 Penny was a fantastic dog sitter for my two German Shepherds, Jango and Loki, while I was away. She was consistently punctual and incredibly communicative throughout, giving me peace of mind that my boys were in great hands. I really appreciated how attentive she was to their well-being—she kept a close eye on them and made sure they were happy and healthy. Couldn’t have asked for better care! 🐶✨”
