Testimonials

Thank you for sending Kelley to us, while we were away both in August & last week. She is just great with giving Toby & Charcoal fluids for their kidney insufficiency. I had peace of mind knowing she was caring for my cats while I was gone. What a great service you provide, and I\'m happy to have found you. Thank you again for all you do.

We picked up Maxwell and Murphy on August 21st, and Aunt Penny's began coming over August 23rd. With 2 puppies on our hands, the energy level can get a little crazy sometimes; but the boys are much more manageable in the evenings after having walks with Robin. It's obvious that they play, go outside, and are cared for. It's the little things that add up with Aunt Penny's: notes when we come home on how the boys were, the dog toys are always neatened up, and we are always able to get a hold of someone from Aunt Penny's if we have a question. We are so glad that we chose Aunt Penny's as our pet sitting service, and it's obvious that Maxwell and Murphy love them too!

I had a wonderful trip and I could not be more pleased with the care that “my baby” received. On prior trips he has been noticeably upset when I returned. This time I was met at the door with a health, happy, exuberant and enthusiastic lab!

I really appreciated the daily notes and reports that your staff left for me. Each one showed that they took time to get to know my pet and that he was well cared for according to my instructions. I also appreciate that they were so willing to work with my mother and the last minute change in Jester’s health. My mother’s ability to stay with Jester on a few nights was one of her first activities after her recent cancer treatment and neither my trip nor her gift to me would have been possible without your wonderful service and caring staff!

There seemed to be a very personal touch to Jennie and Jake's care. Jennie is going through a period of extremely finicky eating. She's on one day and off the next. Brenda took the time to figure out how to encourage Jennie to eat. She slightly warmed the food and eventually did some spoon feeding to encourage Jen. In my book, that kind of care is really going the extra mile and I'm very appreciative.

I was a relatively new client of Aunt Penny's during the blizzard of 2010. I was out of the country for 10 days, starting the day the snow began. The roads were virtually impassable, parking was impossible, but Penny made it to take care of my cat. She sent me daily emails on the condition of my cat (fine) and my house (not so fine). She assured me that emergency plans were in place to evacuate any pets from homes that lost power. She also cleaned up from the leaking ceiling. In addition, she let me know that my very shy cat was starting to come out for her and that they were playing a hunting game together. Needless to say, the daily emails went a long way towards easing my anxiety.
I have used Penny's services many times since and always come home to a content cat and a clean house. Thanks Penny.

I just wanted to say that Kelley did an excellent job taking care of Stewie while we were away. He looked fantastic when we returned and I almost think he wants us to go away again (Or at the very least, the dogs can go away again). I would highly recommend this service to anyone looking for someone who will take excellent care of their pets while they are away. I look forward to utilizing your services in the future and I know Stewie can\'t wait to see Kelley again.
Thanks so much!

When a company performs in an exemplary manner, I believe it’s nice to let them know just how much that is appreciated!

From the time I contacted your company, Aunt Penny’s Pet Sitting, in November 2009, to discuss your company caring for my two dogs while I was away on vacation, I have been and continue to be so impressed with it! Your professionalism, thoroughness, and commitment to providing the best care for Shorty and Jordan is appreciated more than I could ever express! For over 10 years, my dogs have been and continue to be my loving, loyal companions and finding someone I have complete trust in to be there when I cannot is a blessing! It is so wonderful to have your company there whenever the need arises. Thank you so much, Penny…oh, and Shorty and Jordan say, “Thank you, too!” God Bless!!

I have known Penny Layne for years and I know her pet experience to be extensive. She is able to care for all types of pets and her training back ground makes her particularly well suited for pet sitting especially for those dogs that may have some special needs or if you have a multi-pet home. I will be using Aunt Penny’s service when I attend a conference in April and I trust them to take excellent care of my four dogs. I know that Aunt Penny’s service will be able to read my pets behavior and respond since one of my dogs has severe separation issues and he can be “difficult” while I am away.

TRAINING Praises!

IRIS was a rescue, completely untrained, and never had contact with people so we did our homework researching and in some cases, viewing, many of the local training seminars and trainers. We decided on Aunt Penny because of her extensive knowledge/experience and patience with dogs and their humans!

Aunt Penny’s training methods are wonderful!! She uses positive reinforcement, whilst being very creative, adapting to the dog’s learning capacity instantly, and is incredibly patient, calm, and gentle.

After the first training session, Iris was calmer, responding to verbal and physical training cues. Only a few sessions later, and Iris is incredibly well-behaved and has learned amongst other things, not to be afraid of people, not to tug on a leash, leave food, not jump and no barking! Also, Aunt Penny taught her not to run outside through an open door, to stop herding our cats and even two tricks!

Iris’s Mom has Muscular Dystrophy, facing daily challenges with muscular weakness, difficulty with fine motor skills and trouble with coordination and balance. Aunt Penny owns and trains service dogs and incorporates her expertise with Iris. This week Iris is going to learn how to retrieve a phone to help her Mom!

We have had so many positive comments about how well-behaved and trained Iris is (including the Vet and two training programs that we researched!) that we have to thank Aunt Penny for the difference she has made in Iris’s life … she has taken a scared, mistreated dog and turned her into a loving, responsive, and happy addition to our family.

We are so happy we finally have found Aunt Penny. We have been looking for a pet sitting and pet taxi service, but never found anyone we were comfortable enough to entrust our home and pets to such a service. We had a very thorough & informative interview with Aunt Penny. Her credentials speak for themselves. She was wonderful with our 2 golden retrievers and had great advice on specific health issues. She went above and beyond in her initial visit with us. We both felt comfortable and reassured that our pets would be in the best care possible with Aunt Penny. She taxied our goldens from the Cozy Inn Pet Spa to our home. It was great to have our pets arrive home just as we returned from our trip. She was prompt and handled everything beautifully. We expect to have a long future with Aunt Penny. We are thankful to have found her!

Sue & Darryl (Sonny & Scooter too!) Clinton,Pa.

Our first experience with Aunt Penny's was wonderful! Both of our kitties were incredibly happy with the attention and playtime they received while we were out of town. Joann, the sitter, did an excellent job! As first time pet sitting clients, Aunt Penny was very flexible with our Getting Acquainted meeting. She was able to meet in the evening and was extremely professional and organized. We will definitely be using Aunt Penny's Pet Sitting in the future!

Aunt Penny’s Pet Sitting is the best thing that ever happened to my two girls and me. I have complete peace of mind when I work long hours because I know that Penny is going to stop by the house take the girls outside and allow them to expend some of their energy. She actually wore out my two year old, which I only can do if I take her to the dog park for hours. Penny shares her wealth of dog/animal knowledge when it comes to helpful websites that provide dog toys that are for tough chewers and different ideas when it comes to correcting my overactive eater. She is even going to teach me the games she plays with the girls since they like them so much.

Thanks for everything, you are the best!!!!

We returned home from our trip late last night, Our dogs were very well taken care of and safe. Kelly took care of Freda and Brinks as if they were her own animals, She did a fantastic job and would recommend her to anyone we know that has animals. We really appreciate what and how she did her job. It made our trip that much more relaxing to know that our animals were in Kelly's care. We will definitely use your services again on our next trip. Again you have a great employee and person to represent your company.
Thank You

"I know I am not your "usual" household pet. But Aunt Penny takes care of me as well as all her dogs, cats, birds, and rabbits! She is always there for me every day. She opens my coop, gives me fresh water and feed. She even knows what treats I like. She brings me apples, lettuce and grapes. I don't have to worry when my Mom and Dad go away because Aunt Penny is just as caring and loving. Sometimes I even lay her a nice brown egg just to say...Thanks Aunt Penny - for taking care of me!!!"
