Your Pups New BF/Personal Trainer
Animals are my life! They literally flock to me and I've always had a way with my furry friends. In my childhood my German Shepard, Flash, was the love of my life and always loved energetic play, beach runs, and playing in the dunes. I handle dogs both big and small and my current client has a tiny teacup mix, Riley, who despite his ten years of age, will play fetch for hours on end. He does have a heart condition and problem with his trachea, so being careful during walks (not letting him pull the leash too hard) and making sure he doesn't overwork his little heart are two safety concerns to always be mindful of. I also regularly dog sit Riley for weekend stay overs and make sure to stay with him in the bed so he is comfortable. Having grown up with all kinds of pets like parakeets, dogs, and guinea pigs (just to name a few) I've literally learned to "talk to the animals" and it's easy for me to familiarize with new pets and their needs very quickly. I'm very high-energy and can take your dog for an energetic walk at a comfortable based based on their health or general needs. And If you want your pup in tip top shape I can jog with them for hours and incorporate other fun games and exercises in the mix.

Ratings and reviews
Penny was amazing! We were in town for a wedding and needed a sitter for our beloved Toby last minute. She immediately responded, came to meet him and she was on time. She was professional and flexible. Toby loved her. We highly recommend Penny.
I’ve used penny in the past for stay over visits. My dog loves when she comes.
Penny loves my dog Henry! He is afraid of his own shadow, but Penny has been able to comfort and take care of him. I love when she sends me pictures of the two of them out. She is responsible and caring! Diana G.

Penelope is very caring and playful with my dog (my dog is very energetic). I have had her pet sit at my house on several occasions. She has been reliable and loving towards my dog. She is good at keeping food, Medicine schedule , walking and plenty of play time attention. When I leave I know my dog is well taken care of.

Schedule
I'm currently a full time "Rover" so my schedule is fairly open. I'm flexible in terms of last-minute bookings as well. The same flexibility applies if you would like to book a day or overnight sitter.

I live on High Ridge Rd in Stamford near the Merritt so I'm only about 10 minutes away from the Mianus River State Park and 7 minutes from the Stamford dog park
A typical day
No walk will ever be the same when your pup is with me. I find that energetic younger dogs enjoy fast paced high energy walks/jogs and love going on new adventures, whether it be a new trail or just a different turn. I’m also experienced with older dogs that have special medical needs so I no when to take it easy and how to make their time enjoyable without overexercising them (like playing a game of fetch or frisbee). Also expect silly photos and regular updates throughout the walk. I like to document every experience for my own memories and for the owner to know their pet is having a great time and in great and loving hands.
