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!

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.

Penny always provides daily photos and updates. Her home and yard were perfect for Cru to feel right at home. And it's a bonus that Cru can hang and play with Penny's dogs! Cru has stayed at Penny's a few times and can't wait to get in the door and comes home as happy as when she arrived. Strongly recommend Penny for your dog sitting needs!

Penny did an amazing job taking care of my dog for 10 days. She sent daily updates and pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that my dog was well cared for, happy, and getting plenty of attention. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and I truly appreciated the extra effort she put into keeping me informed. I would absolutely trust Penny again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable pet sitter.

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
