Pet care experience

Pet lover, friend, and former owner

Experienced in: Puppy/kitten care, elder dog/cat care, special needs dogs, administering medications (oral, eye drops, topical creams), multiple animals at once, house sitting. The first 18 years of my life, I had 4 fish, a turtle, 2 chickens, 2 dogs, and 4 cats. I have previously helped friends acclimate with their rescue dogs, dog and house sit my bestie’s elderly doggies and my cousin's cat, and I’ve only ever met 2 dogs that didn’t like me (in my defense, they were both skittish rescues). Unfortunately, I am not in a place to have pets of my own due to my travel for work, so I like to live vicariously through others to scratch my missing-pets itch 😁

Safety, trust & environment

I adjust to the environment pets are used to. Are your pets on a schedule/routine? Happy to follow it! Do your pets need meds or a bath? No problem, just point me in the direction of what they’re used to in your home and I am happy to oblige :)

Penny was amazing. There were thunderstorms while we were gone and she did a great job of making sure our dogs got extra attention to help keep them calm, and she kept us updated the entire time.

Penny has helped us out several times on short notice and is great with our three kitties!

Penny took great care of my two dogs and my home. She sent lots of updates and kept my mind at ease. It was so nice to come home to happy pups and a tidy home. Will definitely be booking Penny again and would certainly recommend.

Having Penny as a petsitter helps us vacation without worry about the care and well-being of our two dogs. Penny provides regular updates and photos of them and we know they are always in good hands. We are grateful to have a trusted, loving caretaker in her.

Our two dogs loved having Penny stay at our house for the weekend and took care of them. She gave us daily updates and photos! It was nice to have an ease of mind while we were away with someone who we could trust, especially with a 6 month old puppy who can be a trouble maker at times. We appreciate how communicative Penny was with us the entire time. We will definitely be using Penny again in the future!

Schedule

I own a business operations consulting firm and am a home owner, so I exclusively work remotely from my home. My schedule is pretty flexible throughout the day, and I’m trying for be more intentional about actually going out into the world - ha! My daily and weekly schedules are quite conducive to pet care outside of my home office!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Penny can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your pet has special commands, needs, routines, or idiosyncrasies that would be helpful to know. If they have a favorite toy or park or walk path, I would love to know that too!
