Loving Dog Care with Penny

20 years experience of owning and loving dogs we have a lovely home and garden in a quite cul de sac for them to relax and play in safety. We have been looking after clients dogs for the past couple of years part time as well as taking on a rescue dog for end of life care last year. I am at home most of the time and able to provide one to one time with your treasured dog as well as play and interactive toys.

Max had a lovely time with Penelope. He went to a different park every day and was tired out in a good way. He enjoyed the garden and all the attention he got. I was very pleased with the care that Max received and will be booking again.

From Buddy Penny and Martin are my new BFFs. They learnt very quickly about how to spoil and indulge me with the attention and playtime I love. I can’t wait to go back to see them again. They are kind and lovely humans. Xx

Doggy Day Care • Jan 01, 2026

Poppy and Harley were very happy to stay with Penny and her husband and were really well cared for. They have a beautiful house and garden and the dogs loved the wood burner. We would definitely recommend them and would book them again when we are in the area. Penny gave us constant updates and photos so we could see how happy the dogs were. It meant we could enjoy our outing to the Panto knowing the dogs were happy. Many thanks to you both for the care you gave our fur babies.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 28, 2025

Penelope has looked after Howie several times and always does an amazing job. He gets excited as soon as we turn into her street because he knows what a great time he’s going to have. He always comes home a very happy and worn out fella from all the playing and love he gets. I can’t recommend Penelope highly enough, I know she looks after him so well and cares for him as if he was her own. Thank you Penelope!

Penelope was amazing! She looked after our dog Hudson for 3 nights and took such care of him. Hudson can be anxious but they were so accommodating and made him so comfortable so quickly we had no worries about him being there. We had lovely updates and photos. Thank you Penny for taking such wonderful care of Hudson for us ❤️

Safety, trust & environment

Our house is set up with a dog flap and a secure garden. Our house is in a cul de sac and our dogs loved it here while they were with us.

A typical day

We will take our visitors on daily walks dependant on your requirements and their usual routine as well as playtime / interactive time and of course plenty of time for cuddles and watching the tv together. Our garden is secure and we have a medium size dog flap for them to go in and out as they please.

0 to 7 kg
No females in heat
Takes only 1 client at a time
penelope can host up to 2 pets per night
We only take on smaller dogs up to about 9kgs and prefer not to have any dogs that are particularly boisterous and strong. We have a woodland outlook and there are foxes living there that are used to having dogs in the garden and know when to make themselves scarce. The fence is secure and we have never had any issue to date. We have insurance through Pet Business Insurance.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
