If the dog has medication that it needs or allergies to watch out for. I would also like to know how they get along with other dogs, and if they are friendly to people!

A typical day

I'm passionate about providing engaging and enriching experiences for dogs in my care. Our walks are tailored to each dog's needs, allowing plenty of time for sniffing and exploration, which helps them burn energy and satisfy their natural curiosity. I also incorporate fun games and activities to stimulate their minds, keeping them happy and well-balanced. Whether it's a game of fetch, hide-and-seek with treats, or puzzle toys, I ensure each dog receives the mental and physical exercise they need to thrive.

Pet care experience

Throughout my years of experience, I've cared for many dogs and cat while friends were on vacation, demonstrating my trustworthiness and reliability. My certification from the Butte Humane Society, combined with my volunteering with both cats and dogs, is where I also gained valuable hands-on experience. Additionally, I've provided professional dog-sitting services for several years, consistently receiving high reviews from satisfied clients. This combination of personal, volunteer, and professional experience has equipped me with the knowledge, skills, and compassion necessary to provide exceptional care for any dog or cat entrusted to me!

Highly recommend hiring Penny! She's clearly an experienced animal lover and took such great care of my baby. She was also very flexible with my schedule. We will come back to her!

Penny is a great choice to care for your cats, dogs, and other pets. She has cared for our cat and dog while we were out of town on numerous occasions. She was also helpful in collecting the mail, taking out the garbage, watering plants, changing the litter box, and other things as needed. She clearly loves animals and gives them lots of attention and love. She is conscientious about ensuring food, water, medications, and other care as well as lots of snuggle and play time. She has familiarity with both outdoor and indoor cats and a variety of dog breeds and personalities. I highly recommend her!

Penny has been caring for our cats and dog for years. She is dependable, responsible, trustworthy, and in my experience, the most doting and attentive animal person I've ever met. She can even manage our leash-reactive, 95-lb dog on walks (!!) I highly recommend Penny for animal care without hesitation!
