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 is the best! She is super communicative and shows our kitties so much love. We always know they’re in the best hands with her.

Penny is a very reliable cat sitter, she visited our cat twice a day and we received photos and updates twice a day. Zorro is a very shy cat, and usually hides from strangers, but Penny managed to get him out of his shell and he was coming out from his hiding spot for petting. We can highly recommend Penny and we will be definitely using her in the future.

Penny was amazing with our cat, very responsive and sent the cutest photo updates. We were able to relax for a few days away from home knowing that Barb was in good hands.

Penny was awesome with our two small dogs! She sent daily updates and pictures and our two high maintenance, attached dogs were happy while we were away from them for 11 days. It was so nice to be able to go away and not worry about the dogs! We will definitely be asking Penny to stay again the next time we are away!

Another great experience with Penny! She is super reliable and has come to know our cats and their personalities so well. She is very communicative and we know our cats are in great hands with her.

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.

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!
