Pet care experience

I love animals, dogs especially! My dogs are part of our family and my home is theirs as much as it is mine, to include having them warm, cozy, and comfortable (furniture and beds). They get plenty of TLC and safe living conditions. I am completely comfortable with giving medications and treatments. I have a clean home and can provide them with toys and lots of activities including playtime with my dogs. We are always up for a car ride or neighborhood walk weather permitting. Always a lap to lay in, hands free to rub a belly or scratch an ear, or just a cheek ready to be slobbered on with a wet kiss. I LOVE furbabies!

Penny is great with my little chihuahua. I’m so happy I have somewhere I can take him where it feels like a home to him. He is very timid and is scared of people but he warms right up to Penny and that lets me know he feels safe and comfortable with her. Thank you for taking good care of my little guy Charlie.

Nessie loved her time at Penny's and enjoyed having lots of other doggies (and kitties!) to play with. Penny was prompt and upfront in her communication and provided a full check-in and check-out report so I felt in-the-know! It was clear Penny is experienced and intentional in her work as a dog sitter and we appreciated the care she gave to our dog.

My little chihuahua is very timid. He doesn’t let any strangers hold him. I was surprisingly shocked at how fast he warmed up to Penny and cuddled with her even when I was standing right there. We have found our little guys sitter. Thankfully. Penny is an animal lover and my little fur baby could feel it. We will bring him back.
