Penny

I'm a sensible practical person who loves pets of all descriptions. I grew up with dogs and cats and have volunteered at rescue centres and walked dogs for friends and family. However, as I currently work full-time and have minimal outdoor space I can't have a dog of my own. Also my two senior cats, Olive and Dora, would have a collective heart attack if I dared to introduce a canine presence. Luckily if I go away, Olive and Dora have their own fan club amongst my lovely neighbours, so I am free to come and look after other people's pets!

Currently available mostly for long weekends long weekends only.

I'm a keen walker and member of the Ramblers so would love to help dogs and their owners by providing a loving sitting experience with plenty of attention, play and long walks.

I'd also be delighted to provide a lap for cats, and to look after any other animals - I've had chickens previously. I'm a nonsmoker, reliable, self- sufficient and pretty unflappable.
