Pet care experience

Love is a four-legged word 💕Dogs

I have a lifetime of experience working with animals of all kinds. I’ve raised and cared for dogs, cats, horses, livestock, birds and exotic animals. I've been rescuing, fostering and had a farm for 18 years. I love working with animals and am very flexible with my schedule. I work from my home doing event planning. I have always had a love for animals of all kinds and am happy to be able to make extra money doing it. Thank you and I look forward to meeting your furry friend!

This was our second time using Penny and Freddie had a blast! We will continue to use her again and again for when we go out of town :)

My senior dog loves the family. And they take such great care of her.

Penny is the best. I don’t want to leave my dog with anyone else. She’s attentive to detail, communicates well, sends updates and pics and takes great care of our dog.

Penny took great care of Tate on his stay! Tate had a great time playing with Penny’s dog Bailee and the other pups that were there as well. We were very appreciative of the updates she sent letting us know how he was doing.

Schedule

I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I'm home most of the day to make sure your best friend is well cared for and gets the attention he or she needs. It also gives me the flexibility to do home visits.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in property in a gated community and it is immaculately clean. I am very attentive to all animals and they are never kept outdoors or in cages unless it's provided and instructed by you. Water & food bowls are cleaned daily. I treat all pets like my own.

Pets

A typical day

I am up by 6 am everyday. I usually feed the dogs between 7 and 8 AM. If your dog eats twice a day, please just provide the time for the second meal. We play with tennis balls and chew toys if supplied. They get lots of love and attention. I generally take them out every 2-4 hours depending on the dogs usual schedule. If you have snacks, they can also be given throughout the day. I'm happy to accommodate your dogs needs as I know how important it is for you and your dog to maintain their normal schedule. We are usually done for the day around 9:30
