Penny and her family treated my golden retriever like she was their own. It is comforting to know that when we have to leave Molly when we go on vacation, she is comfortable and safe. Thank you Penny and Michael and boys.

Molly had a wonderful weekend with Penny and Michael. We appreciated the texts about how Molly was doing and looked forward to hearing that she was doing well. Penny was a conscientious host and we hope that Molly could visit again. Thank you again!

Our black lab had a great weekend with Penny & Michael. They sent lots of updates and made sure he got plenty of cuddles & play time in their big yard. Will definitely use them again!

This was the 2nd time I left my English bulldog with Penny + her family. My dog feels right at home! She was very well taken care of, and Penny was sure to send frequent updates. Will book again next time I need a sitter!

Benny always seems to have a great time staying with Penny and Michael and family! When I dropped him off this time, he couldn't wait to go in and say hello.
