Home Full-time fur mom-DOG/CAT etc

Well, hello there! My name is Penny, and I’m the proud (and very lucky!) fur momma to a wonderful French Bulldog—otherwise known as a Frenchie. I’m home full-time and realized I could spend some of my extra time helping my neighbors care for their beloved pets. There’s nothing more rewarding to me than making sure your fur babies are happy, healthy, and loved while giving you peace of mind. I currently offer drop-in visits, dog walking, cat care, and care for a variety of other pets. I’m always happy to care for dogs and cats, and I also have experience caring for rabbits, chickens, fish, gerbils, hamsters, birds, reptiles, and many other small animals. All I ask is that you provide their care instructions so I can keep their routine as consistent as possible. The only pets I don’t care for are snakes and spiders—they’re simply outside my comfort zone! I treat every pet as if they were my own. Don’t be surprised if I chat with them, take adorable photos, or refer to myself as “Auntie Penny!” I especially enjoy working with shy dogs, helping puppies build confidence and good manners, and reinforcing basic training and commands. Spending time with animals doesn’t feel like work to me—it’s truly one of the greatest joys in my life. Every pet and every family is different, so I customize my services to fit your needs. Whether you’re looking for a daily dog walk, a play session, drop-in visits, vacation care, medication reminders, training reinforcement, or occasional help when life gets busy, we’ll create a plan that’s perfect for you and your pet. My goal is simple: to take one more thing off your to-do list so you can relax, knowing your pet is receiving loving, dependable care. I believe you should never have to worry while you’re away. As a full-time stay-at-home fur momma, I keep my schedule as flexible as possible for my clients. Communication is very important to me, so I provide detailed updates, photos, and messages that help you feel like you’re right there with your pet. During our meet-and-greet, I’ll take detailed notes about your pet’s routine, personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions. I follow those notes carefully because consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable. If anything changes, I’m always happy to update my notes so I can continue providing the best care possible. If you’re looking for someone who will love on your pets, treat them like family, and care for them with patience, kindness, and lots of affection, I’d be honored to help. Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I can’t wait to meet you and your fur baby! Thank you for stopping by! – Auntie Penny 🐾

Penny is such an amazing, warm person and we are so thrilled to have worked with her! 10/10 will be working with Penny again. Our 19 yr old man cat that just wants to be left alone was cuddling with her within a day...he doesn't do that with anyone! She followed our detailed walk through conversation notes to the T which are pretty high maintenance for such an old cat, and even watered my husband's new trees he was all panicked about while we were out of town. She asked very thoughtful questions before our departure and while we were out of town. We received lots of pictures and good updates so we knew he was doing well and in good hands. Thank you Penny!

Penny is great with my little Oreo. He’s a shy cat at times and he’s warmed up to her very well in the short times she is there with him. She always leaves a little note about how my cat is doing and is great with communication. I always book with Penny!

I will definitely use Penny again for my next trip! She asked all the right questions and I felt very comfortable with her coming to my home to feed Luna. I loved seeing the pictures, they gave me peace of mind she was well taken care of.

Does your fur baby have any allergies? Is it okay to give treats? How is your dog around kids? Other animals? I have a list of questions I generally ask during the meet and greet and can go over those then, rather then a general answer and can get a more in depth conversation if there are questions and make sure nothing is missed. I have been involved in taking care of animals my whole life: cats, dogs, gerbils/hamsters/guinea pig, chinchilla, fish etc.
