Flexible Last Minute/Big Backyard!

Pet care experience

Hello there my fellow dog lovers! My name is Penelope (although everyone usually ends up going with Penny, so that works too! :) ). My husband and I are currently in the Columbus/Phenix City area since he received orders to Fort Benning with the Army. We live in our wonderful home with a big fenced in back yard for pups to have lots of room to run and play and I'm usually flexible on hours and last minute needs! We also have a neighborhood duck/goose lake right outside our back yard. Your pup will be staying in a super pet friendly place :) I care for just 1-2 dogs max at a time so that I can give them the best care and attention possible. I love pet sitting because it gives me the opportunity to provide a great alternative for my pet parents to leave their babies in a personal, home atmosphere as opposed to the crate/kennel you would get at a typical boarding facility. We have two doggos of our own - - a super friendly and spunky Yorkie named Carson, an amazing German Shepherd pup that is highly socialized and loves all living creatures alike, and cats that think they're dogs and have become best buds with every dog I've ever had over! We also have 1 little 8 month old boy named Gabriel that makes friends with all the critters:) I have been pet sitting for years prior to Rover, dog training, and have even trained cats to sit, stay, come, etc (yes, cats really are trainable!! :-P ) I'd love to love on and watch your fur baby while you're away and care for them just like they're my own! My main goal is for YOU to feel confident and ensure that your pup is in the best care and environment possible while you're away, so please be sure to let me know any and all of the unique details and special quirks about your baby!

Sweet and loving person who'll take good care of your animals. Penelope is very responsible and will not let you down. I trust her completely.

Penelope has always been very friendly and welcoming to our puppy. She has pets of her own and you can tell she is a true animal lover. Her house has a nice sized yard and my puppy loves running around and playing with her dog. Penelope charges fair prices and is accommodating to my hectic work schedule (she lets me drop off early or pick up late). She is flexible and so kind. She gave my puppy a bone to keep when he loved it! I can tell he really loves her by how he acts when we pick him up. He acts stressed and overwhelmed at daycare, but very happy and laid back coming from her house. I really recommend her!

Information Penelope F. would like to know about your pet

How house broken is your dog? PLEASE let me know this ahead of time. If your pup has any sort of marking, excitement, submissive urination behaviors, I need to know ahead of time so I can make sure they are in a tiled part of the house so if there's any accidents, other doggies don't make themselves at home using the carpet for their bathroom :-) How well does your dog get along with other friendly dogs and cats? Does your dog have any serious allergies, health conditions, or medications? What does your pup love and what do they hate? Any notable personality traits/habits/anxieties your dog has. Please make sure your baby is current on flea/tick treatment.

A typical day

One on one time and attention; when the weather is nice out, I usually take a walk, so if your pup enjoys those, it's great for high energy dogs; while of course having a big backyard allows for plenty of play-time outdoors with doggie toys and balls that I provide here! Overnight stays are based on a 24 hour period. When pick-up time extends several hours beyond your drop-off time, I assess an additional daycare fee. If you need drop-off before 7:00AM, please book for the previous night. If you need pick-up after 9:00PM, please book for an additional day (which I will pro-rate to a lesser fee.)
