Pet care experience

I'm Mrs. Grandma for your fur baby!

I have been house/dog sitting since the mid 1980's ( I know, a whole other century)! I have no problem staying at your place and taking care of your doggies, collecting the mail, watering your plants, or whatever keeps strangers at bay. I do have allergies to cats which is a bummer as I am a new cat-grandma but can do feedings or litter changing ( I wear a mask)- I just can't stay over. I have always had dogs in my adult life, and would love to be the "Mrs. Grandma" to your little fur baby!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

My dog (Winnie) has graduated to not requiring her cage during the day and a fenced in yard which she loves chasing the frisbee and tennis balls. We live near a park and Winnie loves to explore the trails. We also have a rabbit (Chip) who was originally a gift for my son and quickly became mine. Chip has an area where he resides inside but loves to be hopping around the living room.

Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Arlie! She means the absolute world to us, and knowing she was in such good hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. We really appreciated your attention to detail, the updates, and all the pictures. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our girl was happy, loved, and well cared for. We can’t thank you enough! 🐾❤️

Ms Penny is hands-down the best sitter I have known! She sends such cute updates which really puts me at ease, especially with my aging pups.

Penny took amazing care of my Nala. Sent pictures every day, which made me feel so much better about leaving her while I went away. I couldn’t have asked for a more perfect person to take care of my fur baby. I would recommend Penny for anyone who’s looking for a pet sitter.

Schedule

I work during the day Monday-Friday but evenings and weekends are free of work obligations. I do love to stay busy and explore fun things to do in and around the city or I can snuggle at home with my Winnie and a good book. I have had double knee replacements so walking dogs can be a tad difficult if it is a long journey.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Penny can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your dog(s) have any special needs, circumstances or areas of concern you may have and I’ll try my best to accommodate them.
