Doggy Day Care • Aug 10, 2020

Hi - my Yorkshire terrier puppy Pebbles was looked after by Penny and her husband for three days while I was in the area. Pebbles enjoyed his days at their place so much that after the first day, the next morning,he was happy to see them again and stay at their home. They were also very flexible and accomodating with pick up/drop off time. Highly recommend Penny and her husband!

Boarding • Mar 23, 2019

We selected Penny Z for boarding for our Golden Retriever because she was a previous Golden Retriever owner. Couldn't have been happier with her care of our beloved dog. Penny sent daily updates and photos our of dog while we were on the road for 4 days. Definitely would recommend her to anyone in the area.

Penny is an excellent pet sitter. She has taken care of our two cats 6 or 7 times over the past year. Not only is she fantastic with animals, she is also responsive to emails and texts. I know that my kities are well taken care of when I go out of town, which really sets my mind at ease. Penny is exactly the kind of person I want caring for my pets!

I have known Penny for several years. She has a heart of gold and the sweetest disposition, and is an animal lover through and through. She is very conscientious and caring, especially when it comes to our four-legged family members!

PENNY Z HAS ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF OUR TWO DOMESTIC HUMANE SOCIETY CATS WITH RESPONSIBILITY AND DEVOTION. She followed our instructions very well as to feeding our cats, cleaning their litter boxes, removing the required litter from the floor, brushing them, playing with them as well as being attentive to our two cats with care and love. We highly recommend her as a pet sitter. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. T
