Playtime with Friends!
Pet care experience
**UPDATE** As of Aug 2021, I will be relocating to Thornton (120th and Colorado area). Hello Rover! First, can I say that my pups are really excited about sharing their fenced backyard with new friends! Even though Axle is a tripod, he still has more energy than his little sister, so having a play friend would be really cool! I am a business professional who works from home Mon - Fri, and loves to spend the weekend taking care of pups. My house is rather spacious, with a fenced back yard, is dog-proof and dog friendly.... meaning there are beds and blankets everywhere! With Axle being a tripod, I am comfortable in administering special care and/or medication, as we went through 3 surgeries to fix his leg. I have done both oral and injectable medications, as well as high level care such as administering medication multiple times a day. If your furbaby needs special care, please let me know what those needs might be and we can accommodate. Let's introduce our furbabies!
Reviews
Excellent with everything. She is kind, knows how to deal with dogs and changed her personal schedule to deal with my early riser dog at 5:45 AM
Francesca was so great to our pup. We haven’t left him often and she was very accommodating to his separation anxiety and gave him extra care. She sent us pictures each day and we could tell he loved his stay with her! We will definitely use her services again for our pup!
I can’t rave about Francesca enough. She’s by far the most dedicated and accommodating dog sitter I’ve ever used! She made my dog feel right at home even when he was going thru a little separation anxiety. she had my dog figured out and made sure he was as comfortable as can be and I can’t be grateful enough for her knowledge of dogs and her ability to make every dog feel right at home! 10 stars
My pup was returned to me happy and tired! Lots of photos and updates. Francesca and her fury friends will be our first consideration for next time!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is the precedent in our household. I keep food and trash put away, as well as keeping the door closed to the downstairs. On initial visits, I like to do slow introductions to both of my dogs to ensure everyone gets along. I monitor my guest's eating habits to ensure their is no food aggression as well. One other thing I am really conscious of is opening the front door, as some furbabies are quick to get out!
Home
Information Francesca C. would like to know about your pet
Before sitting your dog, it's important for me to understanding a few things. Does your dog have a routine or training you would like continued while at my house? What are your dogs commands/tricks? What bad habits should I watch out for? Does your dog have dietary restrictions and/or need special attention? You know... basically how do I best take care of your dog.
A typical day
On an everyday basis, the dogs and play outside in the greenbelt area where I throw one of Axle's favorite toys. He can do this for what seems like forever, so is great exercise without leaving the house. When we go on walks, there is a nice trail (Toll Gate Creek), park, and open space just on the other side of the street. We do go to Lowry dog park but more often find ourselves at Cherry Creek bc I keep an annual pass. If your pet is comfy with a car ride, I would be more than happy to bring them to play in the park and swim! Of course, your pet would get a bath afterwards. Over the summer, there are chances that your pet could be included in a hike. Axle really only enjoys hiking for about 4-6 miles, so that is what we would likely be doing on a day like that.

Availability
Pet care is a consistent activity in our household! We go out several times a day, and spend our afternoon playing fetch in the backyard. There is a wonderful bike trail just two houses down and we will take walks through the park. My entire schedule revolves around my pets, so I am often not gone for extended periods of time.
