Pet Whisperer & lover of dogs !

Pet care experience

*I have a small 12 lb non-shedding, house broken dog, who takes about 15 mins or so to get used to other animals and dogs. She can sometimes be ok with cats, too, but she comes with me everywhere I work and travel. She is never left alone at my home or yours. ****If you have a pet that does not like other dogs, then my services are not for you, because Peña is with me almost all the time...**** I have owned dogs, rescued dogs, and cared for elderly dogs for 40 years. I have taken care of standoffish pets and velcro pets, in the end they love me. I have owned and cared for cats, horses, goats, ducks and chickens. I have not met a bad dog in my life, just some owners that might not know how to control their dogs. Something seems to be missing in my life, when I don't travel with my dog, so I don't do that anymore. I feel like I have a special bond with most pets and can communicate with them. Remember that Rover charges me 15% for you to do booking through them because they provide Vet phone services and insurance. ++++Don't forget New Rover Customers get a $20.00 discount on their first stay !

Fran was very good with Apollo. He loves going to stay there and I enjoyed Fran myself. I would recommend everyone to contact Fran if you want your friend to be loved they you love your friend. I would love to have Fran keeping Apollo

Fran took great care of our poodle, Heston. She accepted him last minute, was flexible with our meet times, but most importantly she treated our dog like her own! She was well equipped with tasty treats, toys, and several walks during the day. Very trustworthy and kind. Will try to use her again in the future!

Fran has been a dog lover since the day she was born. In her lifetime Fran has had over 15 dogs and all of them have had a substantially longer than normal lives due to the fact she goes the extra mile to nurture and take care of the pups. Whether it be the food they eat or the activities she does with them, dogs live a very healthy and active life when they are with her. If anybody was suitable to take care of the dog you own it would definitely be Fran! ??

Fran is a wonderful surrogate dog parent when my husband and I are away. We travel multiple times throughout the year and Fran is the only person that we trust with our dogs. She is wonderful at administering medications and makes sure that our fur babies are always returned in pristine shape!!!! Shes even taken our one problem angel to the vet since our vacation days were the only days that we could get an appointment. She is truly a life saver with our animals and could not imagine or recommend anyone better to care for them. She makes sure they have at least three walks a day, feeds to our specifications, and loves on our angels as if they are her own. Sometimes they are more excited to see her than us!!!!! She also watched our home for us when we need her to. Everything she does is flawless and we do not have a single worry when she is in charge of our animals and our home. Please use Fran, not for her, but for your animals because they deserve it. JUST DONT USE HER WHEN WE NEED HER!!!! :)

Information Fran C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the pup's/pet's allergies, any special needs, also commands that they can follow. Their fears: mine is afraid of thunder storms and fireworks. I want to make sure the pup/dog is potty or crate trained.

A typical day

In Fredericksburg our community has walking trails, but it can be nice just walking around our neighborhood, too. I like to throw balls and play fetch. I have many dog toys in my house.
