Pet care experience

Experienced-Reliable-Trustworthy

I'm returning to Rover after retiring from the human world! I'm an experienced "Dog-Grammy" who has been house/pet sitting for 15 years. I've owned and loved more varieties of animals than I can name, and I'm old! I provide loving care and conscientiously follow special instructions. I send pictures and videos (if desired). I leave a detailed report for pet-parent. I'll also care for indoor plants and light watering if you're away and need that service.

Safety, trust & environment

I come to your home for a meet and greet and to learn specific instructions. I spend daytime hours with your pet/pets as desired by you. I love exercise so walking your pet is a welcomed task. I strive to be a good and kind human at all times. I do not allow visitors into your home during my stay and I promise to treat your home and animals with the utmost respect.

Our dogs just loved Penny! I think they were sad when we returned home! She gave them such good attention and kept us updated the entire stay.

The best pet sitter I’ve ever had. Truly. Penny is a ball of energy and light. She loves animals and it shines through. For the first time, I don’t worry about my pets at all when I’m on vacation. She sends frequent updates and some of my favorite pics of my pets are ones she has sent me. I would highly recommend her with zero reservations.

Penny took care of our three dogs a number of times over the past few years and always went above and beyond our expectations. She cared for our dogs as if they were her own; walking them, making certain they were combed/brushed, fed on time, making water always available, giving medications when needed, but most of all...giving them lots of love. She seems to have a natural and innate sense with animals and our dogs were never nervous around her or hesitant to have her at our home instead of us. Penny also 'house-sat' for us, as well, and was conscientious and respectful of both our home and our practice of limiting the dogs to only certain areas of it. She also would not hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns, if necessary. Sadly, our dogs have all "crossed the Rainbow Bridge", but we have some wonderful photos that Penny took and shared with us of each of our dogs. I recommend Penny without reservations.

Penny cared for two of my dogs over a period of years. She was caring and wonderful with them. She stayed in our home and was a welcome guest. She left the place sparkling and the dogs loved her so much. She always sent us fun pics and videos while we were gone. We were so sad she moved and can unreservedly give her a 5 star recommendation. You and your pup will be happy to have her.

We have been using pet sitters for 15 years. We had 3 different house/dog sitters during the first 7 years. We found Penny through a friend. We have never considered anyone else for the last 8 years. We now have 4 rescue dogs and a cat. Penny takes the dogs for walks, plays with them and loves them. And they love her. She leaves our house spotless. Penny has become family to us and our animals. I have only good things to say about Penny. She is an excellent pet sitter.

Schedule

I'm returning to Rover after retiring this year so I'm now available most of the time. I'm now available everyday since I'm working only close to home. I'd like to be counted on and known by the dogs living within my own community.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Penny can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I just need to know if there are special needs—during storms for example. I’d like to know if your dog is good with car rides and if there are special treats for certain behaviors and what they are allowed to have for treats
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
