Lots of references and level 2 back

Pet care experience

I owned a pet store in Colorado for several years. Since I've moved here in 2014 I have done quite a bit of pet sitting. I come with many references and a copy of my level 2 background check. I am experienced in all animal type from livestock to caged animals. I enjoy spending time with your babies. My goal is to keep them in your routine and adjust to how you want things done. I'm very flexible with hours and what all you need done. I don't mind doing the extra stuff( ex. Bringing in trash cans, watering plants, cleaning up). If you need something special feel free to ask me. Thanks for reading my profile. I look forward to spending time with your loved ones.

Penny is great! Pays attention to detail and follows everyone’s exact schedule. Kept us up to date and made us feel at ease while away.

Penny took our babies with just a few days notice (she doesn't normally have openings). She is kind, laid back, and seems to know animals very well. It was Rocky's first time away from us with someone he hasn't met, and everything went well. Both dogs were well cared for, and we appreciated the daily update.

Penny was absolutely fabulous staying with my dog & 2 cats at my home. She is reliable, flexible and communicative & sent me daily text with pics. I am new to the area so was nervous leaving my fur babies but after meeting Penny i knew my kiddos were in good hands. I will definitely be using her whenever I need pet care whether it be for a day or several days. Thx Penny!

We felt very comfortable leaving our babies behind with Penny! Now we can travel without worries and know that our kitties will be taken care of. She was very communicative and thorough. We will be using her again :)

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.
