Penelope did a great job walking my pup in the heat every day for two weeks! Very communicative and great with my dog who is normally nervous to walk with new people. Really appreciated her help!

Penelope was very easy to work with - communicative, sent so many pics, and spent good time with my cats when she checked on them! Will absolutely work with her again.
