About
My work reflects my own personal experience in packing/unpacking and organizing my own homes - as I've moved over 15 times during the past 35 years! Our family was in aviation and this caused frequent job and location changes; each move presented a new opportunity to purge, pack, unpack and sort our lives into new spaces! I will address your belongings with practiced care. Being organized has always helped me to feel like I am in control of a little part of my environment :) I enjoy sorting and organizing others homes to share that feeling of accomplishment and to provide you with more stress free zones to relax! Can I help you with: Closets you are afraid to open? Storage units that have been left alone and forgotten? Airbnb Guests - not sure if you need to restock? Pantry and medicine cabinet out of date? Relocating? Packing and unpacking services and organizing your new spaces! Library out of order? Let's get your bookshelves organized so you can locate and delve into your treasures! Loving your fur babies while you are away? Assistance in packing your and your loves ones home as life changes dictate. ♥ Pet sitting Services: I love how funny animals can be and the joy they bring to our lives! With three feline fur babies of my own, I’ve cared for a wide variety of other critters in my lifetime, including dogs, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, cichlids, tree frogs, horses, chickens, geese, rabbits, cows, and even donkeys! While you’re away from home for work or play, let me provide personalized daily care for your furry/hairy friends in your home. Options include drop-in visits, bed-and-breakfast visits, and even overnight care when needed. I’m available in Greensboro and throughout the Piedmont. Compared to kenneling and similar settings, my rates save you money while keeping your pet safe from the physical and emotional risks inherent in group care. Travel over 50 miles will incur a travel fee. Here are my standard packages. Need something a little different? Let’s talk! • S&P ($18): One 15–20-minute drop-in visit (early morning, midday, or early evening) to check on your pets, give them a snack or meal, administer medications/supplements (no injections), take the dogs out for a potty break and clean the cat litter box(es). • PAL ($27): One 30-minute drop-in visit (late morning, midday, or early evening) to check on your pets, give them a snack or meal, administer medications/supplements (no injections), take the dogs out for a potty break, clean the cat litter box(es) and change any other pet bedding as needed. • Dinner Reservation ($37): One 1-hour drop-in visit (either 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM, 8:00 PM to 9:00 PM, or 9:00 PM to 10:00 PM) to provide water and a meal, medication/supplement administration (no injections), playtime, potty break, outdoor walk (weather permitting), and snuggles to prepare your pets for bedtime. • B2B ($65): This includes a 10 to 12 hour stay (7:00 PM to 7:00 AM, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM) to provide care and companionship for your pets, including meals and water, medication/supplement administration (no injections), potty breaks, playtime, snuggles, and sleep. Housesitting services, such as placing trash bins out, bringing in mail and packages, watering plants, and turning lights on and off, are available on request at no additional charge. • Two-Fer ($77): This includes both a 2-hour evening visit (either 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM or 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM) and a 15-20 minute drop-in visit the next morning (6:00 AM, 6:15 AM, 6:30 AM, 6:45 AM, 7:00 AM). I’ll provide fresh water and meals, administer medications/supplements (no injections), , take your pets for a walk or let them out into your secure space, and give them playtime and snuggles to help settle in for bedtime and wake up for the new day. I’ll also bring in your mail and packages. • Round-the-Clock ($120): Same as the B2B, but with 24-hour care (preferably starting at either 7:00 AM or 7:00 PM; other arrangements can be made). I can come in and out while staying in your home or remain in the entire 24 hour period with your pets.

Penelope did a great job pet sitting for us. We have a very reactive GSD and large Great Dane. She was patient and did great with the GSD. Unfortunately, she was here during a muddy period and did a great job dealing with big muddy dogs and extra mess. She was on time and reliable which allowed us to enjoy our vacation.

Details: Dog • 2 pets • Providing companionship • Giving food and water • Overnight visit (10-12 hours) • A few times a week • My home, venue, etc.

I hired PSPSS for two projects: pet-sitting my finicky cat while I was away for two weeks, and unpacking and reorganizing my bathroom and kitchen after my move. When I got home, my cat was very happy, and my home was spotless and organized. Five stars all the way! I'd hire Penelope again in a heartbeat for either of these tasks or any other service PSPSS offers. She's very responsive, thorough, inventive, and thoughtful. My home has never been so organized—especially my bathroom. In fact, thanks to her work, I found out I had multiples of things I'd either forgotten I owned or replaced because I couldn't find them! In that sense, using PSPSS doesn't really cost—it pays for itself in the long run! Worth every penny!

Candy, thank you so much for your gracious words and the opportunity to work with you! I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent in your home with your 'finicky' cat who is such a funny little girl! I am so glad to hear that you are reaping the benefits of organization: I really feel it is a love language :) I look forward to assisting you again in the future as your needs arise. Thank you again!
