I work from home as a booking agent, so I won't need to leave your pet unattended for long periods of time. I work on my laptop mon-fri from 10am - 6pm. My job is extremely lenient and I can take as many breaks as needed to take your dog outside to use the bathroom and for a short walk.

Safety, trust & environment

If you are going away on a long trip or you have a pet that needs extra care, I can stay with them while you enjoy a getaway. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, I’ll take them outside to potty when they have to go, make sure they take any meds if they need them, and give them attention throughout the day. Any other needs just let me know and I’ll make sure that they are met. I truly love animals and will give them beyond the best care!

Information Penelope R. would like to know about your pet

It’s important I’m told if they have any kind of disability or things like separation anxiety. Medications they need are also important if they need any at all. Do they need to be watched carefully when outside? Do they eat things they shouldn’t that I should keep an eye out for? Will they try to run out of the door when opened? Do they get upset around other animals? Information like this will ensure your dog stays safe!

A typical day

I won’t do anything with your dog that you aren’t okay. Anything outside of normal walks and playtime will only be done with the owner's approval. Typically I start the day with a short walk after taking them outside to potty. As I work during the weekdays, I'll take plenty of breaks to get some play time in with your dog! We can play tug-o-war, fetch outside, or just give them some belly rubs! However much attention your pet needs, they'll get. If there are any other activities your dog enjoys, let me know!

Pets

Total dog lover of all kinds!

Pet care experience

Not only have I grown up with dogs my entire life, but I also have 4 years of dog sitting experience. I've had the privilege of spending my time with breeds such as: pit bulls, german shepherds, english bulldogs, dachshunds, pugs, and yorkies! The trust I get to build with dogs is so special and I'd love to make a new friend out of yours! I have experience sitting for dogs with disabilities and dogs that require medication. Any additional care requirements while dog sitting is no issue for me! You can expect your dog to be treated with nothing but love, patience, kindness, and plenty of play time. I work from home, so I won't need to leave your pet for long periods of time and I ALWAYS leave your home in the same condition as when I arrived. No one wants to come home to a mess after a long trip. I'd love to schedule a time to meet your pet before the day of the booking! Feel free to ask any additional questions. (I also have a bearded dragon and a veiled chameleon. I'd be more than happy to take care of your reptiles!)

Penelope was awesome. I have a 12 year old German shepherd who takes a bit to warm up to new people. Penelope took great care of my home and my dog. She was patient with Stella while she warmed up to her and sent me updates on how she was doing while I was away. Will definitely hire her again :)

Penelope is awesome! She took great care of my fur babies while I was on vacation. She followed my notes and ensured medication was given on time. I was able to truly relax knowing they were in her care.

Penelope was great with my fur babies during the drop in visit. It was her first time with them. She did an amazing job.
