Penny's Playhouse & Pet Services

Pet care experience

EXPERIENCED • INSURED • PET APPROVED Your dog deserves to be well cared for in a loving home. Not sitting in a kennel with limited human interaction and no exercise. Carol will take excellent care of your dog with our 24/7 petcare services. Whether you need doggie daycare or overnight boarding, our home and our hearts are open to your pup! We are lucky enough to own one special dog, Penelope Rose, aka "Penny". Our Penny is an active, cheerful, intelligent and affectionate English Springer Spaniel and she is the perfect host for your pup. I am certain they will become fast friends! We have been dog lovers our entire lives and will show your pets as much love as we do our own. We are active pet owners - with daily walks, parks and plenty of playtime. I will have your pup well exercised and happy. I also have a fence-in yard for safety. There are a couple of dog parks close to let our animal-friends run and play together - if you allow. How it works: • LET'S GET ACQUAINTED I like to start with an initial meet-n-greet Over the phone works too - if your schedule allows. Time commitment: Typically less than 30 minutes in my lovely home, but will be available as long as you need to be comfortable. • BOOK TIME ON MY SITE I am very flexible. Calendars book up fast because I only accept 2-3 dogs. I am transparent with my guests on the types of activities and breeds who will be here socializing together. Costs are: $28-35/overnight (typical 24 hours), $18-25/daycare (typical 8 hours). If your pet requires additional hours extra costs are: 1-4 hours ($10); 5-8 hours ($20). • THE 411 ON YOUR PUP I want to care for your pet just like he, or she is at home. Please provide clear instructions on diet, exercise and play time habits. This ensures consistency and safety for our most important companions. • DURING MY CARE I am home all day/night with my pups and will communicate regularly so you can rest assured your family member is well cared for and having as much fun as you are while you're away on your trip, or at work.

Lucy seemed to be very well cared for & I loved that Carol sent pictures each day. We miss our fur babies while away, so the pictures & communication really mean alot. Carol's dog, Penny seemed to adjust to having "hyperactive" Lucy around & it was very good for improving Lucy's social skills. Thank you, Carol & Penny!!

Carol has a warm, dog-loving home and was an excellent host. She was very easy going and flexible to work with our travel schedule.
