About Penny
I am a dog lover, your baby will be loved and cared for like my own sweet girl. Dogs are treated like family. They are allowed on furniture, beds etc.
I have owned several dog breeds from large to small (Daschund, Hungarian Sheep dog's (Puli's) , Cattle dog/Belgian shepherd, kelpie/foxie, and now a Groodle.
I have taken them all through obedience school to ensure a lifelong bond and better communication.
I have volunteered at the Sydney dog shelter in the past, walking dogs awaiting their new forever home and have also fostered cared dogs from there to ease their stress. I was not very good at foster caring as my standards were a little high for new prospective fur parents - e.g will you let her on your couch, minimum 2 walks a day?
When your pup/s stay with me they would be part of the family, enjoying cuddles, play, and two walks a day.
One of us is always home and I wfh part of the week.
My fur girl has a pampered life, enjoying varied adventures in nature.
I am looking forward to a meet and greet with you and your pup on neutral territory (typically the Hall Showground as it is fully enclosed, & off lead), and if all goes well, caring for your fur baby.
Rest assured I will care for yours, as I do mine. I do this as a hobby as I love caring for dogs. There will be always myself or an immediate family member at home. I also have an Advanced first aid and mental first aid certificate.

* Drop off and pick up fee is for a reasonable distance from my place.
*WALKS: Are for a minimum of 30 minutes and include a pick-up and drop off (dependent on your location). Walks are typically conducted at Hall, Amaroo, or Nicholls and can be off lead in the enclosed oval or on lead through the reserves and other ovals, trails and parks. Water is regularly provided. Dogs are always secured in the car with a doggy seat belt attached to their harness (for safety, never their collar).

At the meet and greet feel free to chat to me about your needs and any particulars about your fur baby.
Our Place: We have a fully fenced yard with a grassed area, concrete area, and deck area with a raised bed and mattress. Indoors we have couches, several dog beds, and if there is space, even a human bed. During meal times, dogs will be fed separately and fed from raised dog feeders. We also have plenty of safe dog toys.
MEALS: Please also chat to me about your dogs meals, treats etc I am happy to accommodate most meals from simple dry food to other requests (hot meals, fresh bones, adding supplements or medications etc).

Thanks again Penny. We can always relax knowing the dogs are having the best time and getting the best care. We love our photos and updates of doggy adventures.

Our pooch had the best time with Penny! She kept us updated the whole time and was so loving and caring to our spoodle zante. They went to the dog park twice a day, he found a comfy spot on the couch and even made pupcakes.
We can’t thank her enough for treating our pooch like one of her own 💖 🐾

Our little girl Pippa stayed with Penny for 3 weeks and she (Penny) was fabulous! She had longs walks and ball play everyday, fun and games with other pups and lots of affection. Penny is an excellent Sitter and I highly recommend her. Thanks so much Penny 😊
