Dog + garden lover, experienced sitter

More information about this house sitter

Lots of experience house sitting.
Professional working in sustainability and social impact in the corporate sector.
I grew up surrounded by fur and feathers. Caring for animals is second nature and I learned a lot from my dad who was a dog trainer.
I love dogs as my own lagotto Parker will tell you. (Parker doesn't come with me on house sits, he has his own separate holiday.)
My garden is my happy place. I grow as much of my own fruit and veggies as I can.
A few references:
'Penelope pet sat our Chow Chow Furphy at our home for 3 weeks in 2023. Furphy loved her and we came back to a sparkling, clean home and happy dog. We highly recommend Penelope as a pet/house sitter.' - Pierre & Janet

"It was our first time needing a house/pet sitter and we weren’t sure where to start. After looking on Aussie House Sitters, we came across Penelope who was local to our area (Melbourne Inner West). After meeting with her, we instantly knew that our Schnoodle Billie (and our house!) were in safe hands while we were away for a week in Vietnam. Penelope was very considerate and a wonderful communicator and we came back to it absolutely spotless! We received lots of updates of Billie and we would happily have Penelope stay again. Thank you!" - Ally & Tom

"Penelope sat out dog (14) and cat (12) last year for 3 weeks while we were in Europe and did an absolutely brilliant job!
We received photos and the occasional update which was lovely as we could really enjoy our trip knowing our beloved pets were looked after and having a good time too.
The dog is a senior pet and needed medication, which Penelope handled very well.
Penelope also looked after the garden extremely well so it was all around a great experience and I would highly recommend her, your pets are in good hands!" - Inger Read more...
