Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, my focus is on providing a safe, comfortable, and enriching experience tailored to each pet’s needs. By discussing the pet’s daily routine, dietary preferences, and any specific instructions or concerns the owner may have. This ensures I can deliver consistent care that aligns with their usual habits. During my visits, I ensure that pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, which helps keep them relaxed and happy. I am attentive to their behavior, watching for any signs of stress or discomfort, and I address their needs promptly. Additionally, I maintain the home’s cleanliness by following house rules and tidying up after the pets. By providing care in their familiar surroundings, I help pets feel secure while their owners are away, allowing them to maintain their routines and feel loved until they return.

Information Penelope T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your furry friend has any special requirements I would need to be aware of. When pet sitting, I prioritize understanding each pet's special needs, including any medical conditions, medications, or allergies. I also consider behavioral traits, like anxiety triggers or aggression, to ensure a safe and stress-free experience.

A typical day

When pet sitting, I ensure pets have a fun and engaging time tailored to their needs. Activities may include walks, park visits, and indoor play with toys. For energetic pets, we play games like fetch while more relaxed pets get cuddle time and gentle brushing.

Penny is great. I had complete peace of mind while traveling. She is very attentive to schedules, needs and wants. The pets were relaxed and happy while I was gone and upon arriving home. It is apparent that Penny really strives to keep pets comfortable and loved during a time that is stressful for them. Penny is a blessing.

Penny was incredible with my pups! She stepped in for a last-minute drop-in visit and then, with just a few days’ notice, stayed the entire weekend with them. Her flexibility is exactly what I need, especially with my unpredictable work schedule and travel. Both of my dogs can be a handful, but Penny handled them with care and confidence. She kept me updated every day with messages and photos, played with them, and even took them on walks—something I’m usually hesitant about due to their reactivity around other dogs. I was really impressed by how attentive she was on walks; when she saw an off-leash dog approaching, she immediately turned and went the other way to avoid any issues. I felt totally at ease knowing they were in her hands, and when I came home, it felt like I had never left. I would 100% recommend Penny to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
