Pet care experience
Ask about my FREE TRIAL PERIOD FOR FIRST-RESPONDER PROFESSIONALS (Medical, Law Enforcement, Military). Early-retired and flexible, love to walk dogs, and I am mobile to come to your pet's comfort zone! I used to watch dogs for friends during my working years and now that I have more time I can do it through Rover. One of my fondest memories of dog-sitting was when a friend had just moved to a farm and had to be at work right away. I was able to be there during those first few days so his elderly Lab wouldn't be alone. I would walk the Lab around the property on his leash close to me, inside and outside, with plenty of time to sniff in every nook and cranny. I talked to him and petted him along the entire route. That first night I laid down on the floor next to his doggie bed and played lullabies softly on my phone for him while my hand was on his back so he could feel me near him for comfort. I had my own dogs for 17 years, a Beagle and an English Cocker Spaniel. I trained and cared for them both from the age of 6 weeks on. I dealt with a couple of surgeries and nursed them back to health successfully--experience with drops, pills, etc. My dogs and I moved all over the world with the U.S. Army. I designed a successful weight-loss program, that was commended by my veterinarian, when my Beagle was having too much of a good thing! I like to cuddle, play fetch, or just let a sleeping dog lie. I love snapping pics on my phone, so you'll have a virtual Doggie Diary each day.
Reviews
This was our first time using Penny to house sit our two rowdy Standard Poodles. She was very punctual, kind, and followed all of our instructions for them to the letter. We highly recommend her and will use her again.
We have been looking for a dog sitter since moving to this area six years ago. We finally found a perfect one. Penny is awesome in many ways. She loves animals and the first time she came to get acquainted with the condo, and our two dogs it was obvious she loves animals. She is very professional, responsible, neat, and honest. When watching our dogs, she stays in daily contact with us. We would recommend Penny as an animal sitter.
Penny is by far our first choice when we need a dog sitter for our two dogs. In fact, we have checked with Penny’s schedule first when planning a trip. Penny is trustworthy and we are very comfortable having her stay in our home with the two dogs. She is meticulous, detailed, and honest. Most recently she watched our dogs for 12 days. During that time she kept the house, neat and tidy, and always stayed in communication with us.
Penny stayed at our house and took care of our yellow lab. It was at short notice that we asked her and we are thrilled that she could accommodate us. We really liked the pictures of our dog that she sent to us while we were away. I highly recommend Penny.
