Pet care experience

For 15 years I ran a successful dog walking business outside of Boston, and have now returned to the northwest to help my mother age in place. I'm missing my animal friends, and am ready to help with yours! I'm experienced and mature, conscientious, reliable and careful, with the same high expectations for myself that you have. I understand the importance of good relationships with anyone you bring into your pet's life - both for your pet and for you - and building relationships and community is what I most loved about my dog walking business.

I will never be able to put into words the comfort we felt in finding Penny as the walker for our dog, Chips, so I will give an example. When our dog was neutered, he was too small for any cone, so we had to put him in a cat onesie. On a walk with Penny, he soiled the onesie. Penny washed it and made sure the incision stayed clean (aka babysat and played with him) while it dried. This is just one of many examples of how Penny was the greatest. We always knew our dog would be safe with her and that she would care for him as if he were her own. We were heartbroken when Penny made the decision to leave the state, but even then, she found a wonderful replacement as she wanted to make sure all of her dogs were taken care of in her absence. You would be so lucky to have Penny walk or care for your pet in any capacity.

Penny is an exceptional dog walker. She walked my cockapoo 2-3 times a week for eight years and was consistently reliable and very communicative. Never a no show! Penny was truly in tune with my dog's needs, and I couldn't have asked for a better person to walk my dog!

Penny was my loved and trusted cat sitter for over 10 years in the Boston area. She was incredibly dependable, caring, and came on countless occasions last minute. She spent quality time with my beloved four felines, graciously agreed to give them their meals, fresh water, medications and scoop litter boxes with amazing willingness and ability. Penny would sit with my cats, watch tv shows with them, brush and play with them. Every time I was away I returned home to the happiest cats, like I never left. She is a remarkable pet sitter who also became a dear friend. I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone who adores their pets and wants the very best care for them! She has since moved out West and I miss her so much. Truly, no one can replace her!!

Penny was such a great dog walker for our dog from the time he was a puppy until she moved away last year so 10 years. She was extremely organized and communicated well in advance for any days she would not be available (rarely!). She knows dogs and how to handle them. My dog loved her. She provided notes and updates and we always knew our dog was in great hands. Penny is the best! A great person. I would trust her wholeheartedly with any dog.
