Loving dogs more than anything

Pet care experience

Hey there! I'm a photographer (specializing in music and documentary) so I work from home for the majority of the time. I have fostered over 10 dogs from PAWS and have been a volunteer there for over 6 years so I have gained a lot of experience from this. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, multiple personalities, disabilities, and I'm very comfortable with dogs that have anxiety or fears, as well as working with puppies on training. I will gladly stay at your home to care for your dogs (and any other pets you may have! I have two guinea pigs myself and can quickly learn how to care for any other cute creature you may own). I work from home for the most part and will only be gone for a few hours at a time—I will let you know if I have to be gone for more than 5 hours. I can provide exercise or lazy days while you're away, and will always provide photos so you know that your babies are in great hands. My goal is to provide your pets a comfortable time while you're away, give you some peace of mind so you can enjoy your time wherever you may be, and to keep your schedule consistent. DOG WALKING / CHECK INS - Please let me know what time frame you'd like me to visit your pet as well as the neighborhood you reside in DOG SITTING / - I am able to walk your pup 4 times a day (if more needed please let me know!) - Please be aware that I do walk a few other pups in the afternoon, but I will always come to walk/feed/spend time with your pup and keep your schedule consistent while you're away - If you have any questions about my schedule please don't hesitate to ask!

I've been super busy since we got back from our vacation and this review is a little late. We judge the dog sitting service by watching our dogs' spirit when I got back from my vacation. If our dogs were depressed when we got back, we knew our dogs didn't get enough attention, love or even were not treated well. But, this time with Penelope, our dogs were happy with high spirit! We are glad that we found her. We will definitely use her service again. Thank you Penelope!

Penelope is amazing! Our cat is very shy, but as soon as she met Penelope she was all over her for pets and play time. We have Penelope watch our cat every time we go out of town.

Penelope is hands down the best sitter on Rover. Believe me, I’ve been through quite a few and she is the first I feel comfortable sitting my dog. Communicative, extensive experience, and a true love for dogs.
