I’m a graduate from Boston University currently here for the summer. I’m a social media intern for a small dog toy brand and work remote so I’m flexible with my time and hope to fill my free time by caring for pets! I’m openly available and ready at the whim to help in case you need a hand spontaneously!

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet owner, I would treat all pets as my top priority just as I would for my own fur babies. I’ll be sure to send detailed updates, communicate thoroughly and be as helpful as possible to clients that could use an extra hand with their pets.

Information Penelope O. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know about any behavioral habits ahead of time so I can be sure to keep an eye when passing other dogs or interactions. I’d also love to know their favorite toys!

A typical day

I love to talk pets on walks and play with them! I’ll be sure to visit local dog parks/parks and keep a close eye to ensure safe play. As for cats I love to play with them and provide lots of pets! To me, a pet is a friend that I simply love to spend time with and provide fun experiences.

Pets Treated Like Family!

Pet care experience

Growing up my home had all kinds of pets from bunnies to fish, but most importantly dogs and cats! I’ve grown up with various dog breeds from small to big. I’ve also helped care for dogs with anxiety, handled dogs with behavioral issues and familiar with walking large dogs. I’ve handled puppies and smaller breeds as well with bottle feeding and medication. I currently work for a dog toy company focused on making dogs happy! I often foster and volunteer when I can at local shelters. My love of animals goes beyond pets to fueling my mission to care for pets/rescues.

Penelope did an awesome job taking care of my dogs! She was very communicative and helpful. Thanks to Penelope, my dogs are happy, healthy, and taken care of.

Penelope is a truly caring, dependable, and responsible pet caregiver. She treats every pet as if they were her own, providing plenty of attention, affection, and thoughtful care. After working with Penelope, I can confidently say she is a reliable, communicative, and dependable worker. Also, having her take care of my animals, I’m certain that any pet owner can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in safe, loving hands.
