Services

Penny can care for

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Availability

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.

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.

Information Penny m. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I play frisbee and toss tennis balls for my lab.She loves to fetch and is pretty skilled at returning. She loves to run and most of the time likes to lay in the sun.

I'm Mrs. Grandma for your fur baby!

Pet care experience

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!

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.

Miss Penny was so professional and personal right from the beginning. She took such great care of our pups and sent tons of pictures. I will absolutely ask Miss Penny to watch our doggos again, and I would recommend her to anyone confidently.

She really is the grandma of your pets! My girls are older and loved her at the first meet and greet. My oldest is almost 100# and she didn’t even balk. Penny is communicative, attentive and kind. My house was just as clean as I left it and I can’t be more appreciative. Thanks Penny!! We’ll be using you again!!
