Pet care experience

Experienced sitting by qualified dog psychologist

I’ve owned dogs my whole life, am a qualified dog psychologist and a big belly rub enthusiast. I recently lost my elderly sassy dachshund Ruby who lived to 14. It’s been too quiet without her so I would love to look after your pooch while you’re away. I regularly sit for dogs but would love the opportunity to meet more. The pet parents I work with would be happy to share feedback should you need the extra reassurance. I know it can be nerve wracking finding someone who will take care of your pup as well as you do. I absolutely adore dogs and will treat your pup like my own. I am happy to care for all ages and have trained puppies. I have a real soft spot for senior dogs so am very happy to look after them and provide any extra care they need. I also recently completed a pet first aid course. I’ve also worked in a rescue centre so have plenty of experience with any type of behaviour.

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve stayed in my clients homes when they have been away, my priority is care for the pup while taking care of your home. I’m very clean and will make sure the place is ready for your return. Changing the bed and cleaning the bathroom, etc. Will take care of plants, wait for deliveries, pretty much anything you need to make sure things are ticking along while you’re away.

A huge thankyou! After being let down last minute Penelope took over and looked after the house and our our pets as if it was her own. Constant updates and excellent communication between myself my partner and her. I know my partner was a lot more at ease and hugely greatfull for how Penelope was. Thankyou again and will certainly use again in the future!

Excellent sitter. Very caring and capable. Bella the Airedale seemed very relaxed and content when we returned after a long hot day.

Penny looked after my dog who’s just had knee surgery so well. Unfortunately my dog got quite sick on the day and she dealt with it fantastically. Cannot recommend highly enough

My work is flexible and I can work from home whenever I need. I’ll be available to take your pup on regular walks and snuggle with them in the evening. I’ll give them the structure they need to feel comfortable with me. I’m happy to adapt to any routine your dog is used to.
