Your dog will have FUN !

Pet care experience

Hello, I am Penny, and I want your dog to feel COMFORTABLE !!!! The BEST way is for me and my dogs to meet yours during a meet and greet. I have undergone advanced screening, and my home has been inspected. I am home full time. I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals! I was a Zookeeper for 29 years and have also worked with horses , dog rescue and Doggy Day Cares and the Colorado Division of Wildlife. My B.S. in Zoology also included many credits in Animal Behavior. There has never been a time in my life that I did not have a dog. I also founded the Weimaraner Rescue here in Colorado. Now I am home full time. I currently share my home with my 2 Weimaraners : Hope 10 and Nellie 1. They've been doing this with me as well. They prefer dogs that are smaller than they are. They also defend smaller dogs. Nellie is energetic and Hope is an ex-puppy mill mom , both adopted. We have a large grassy fenced back yard. There is plenty of room to run and play or just relax in the shade. And evil squirrels to bark at! I have no problem administering medication. Having worked as a zookeeper for years I have experience administering medication. I just ask that you give me specific instructions. We have plenty of dog dishes, beds and blankets. I only ask for enough food for your dog's stay. I also ask for an emergency contact not travelling with you. updated December 2020.

Penny and her sweet pups Hope and Nellie never disappoint. My dog is a rescue and he is VERY timid in new spaces, especially with other dogs. But Penny has all the remedies for that! Highly recommend!

Penny is amazing and a great host for my shy/nervous rescue dog, Ralph! I hope everyone can find a dog sitter as good as Penny!

Penny is just absolutely fantastic! My dog Ralph is a nervous pup and doesn’t do well at doggie daycare facilities at all. I am so thankful for Penny’s caring nature and the love she shows Ralph each time he stays with her.

It was a pleasure working with Penny. She is very passionate about animals and kept us updated with pictures of Bentley. I would gladly work with her again.

Information Penny S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know whether or not your pet gets along with my two dogs. I also need to know the size of your dog and the breed. I prefer not to take dogs larger than mine, just because my two dogs get along better with small and medium dogs than larger canine pals. I also have a small house but a big yard.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks There is a wonderful, grassy dog park nearby our home. My two dogs love running around and playing there, while meeting new furry friends. We make an effort to visit the dog park every day, getting plenty of exercise. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your canine friend will be allowed to sleep wherever he please, whether on the couch or snuggled in bed with me. Feel free to bring your furry pal's favorite dog bed or blanket from home. Time I'll spend with your dog I'm home full time, so how does 24/7 sound? I will give your dog all the love and affection he deserves all day long.
