My name is Fabrice, and I am both American and French. I have lived in Florida for over 10 years and moved to Sarasota in late 2023. My motto is that it is my responsibility to ensure that every dog in my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I am with your baby, I keep this motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important pets are in our lives, so it is my duty to ensure that your baby receives the same kind of love and care that he is accustomed to at home. I'm a huge pet lover, so making babies as happy as possible can be second nature to me! Although I have always been a pet lover (my mother was a veterinarian), my experience with pets is much broader than that. I have more than 6 years of experience in full-time Home/pet care in North America and in France, I have been part of a dog and cat boarding and daycare association, including in an animal no-kill shelter. I have worked with hundreds and hundreds of pets and I wouldn't trade one for a second! I have worked with dogs big and small and loved taking care of them all equally. I have also been trained in dog first aid and CPR and am a certified animal behaviorist. When I take on a new client, I usually like to schedule a meeting. It’s a great way to make sure we’re all a good fit for each other, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to discuss your puppy and your care expectations face-to-face. No one knows your dog better than you, so it's always good to talk in person with owners about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I love meeting new dogs, new pets! I like to get down on their level to show them that I'm a welcome presence here to make friends, and I'm sure we'll be best friends in no time. I know how hard it is to be away from your best friend, so communication is my watchword. I will be sure to send lots of regular updates with photos so you can see how much fun your puppy and I are having together. I'm happy to send you detailed updates with information on everything from meal times to behavioral signs, so you can feel completely happy and at home. I'm also completely open to any questions, so don't hesitate to ask me if any concerns or questions arise! Going the extra mile is part of the job! >And for those looking for a dedicated home-pet sitter for their babies, I always accept long sits while you are on vacation.
