Responsible & Patient Pet Parent

Pet care experience

Summary: My goal is to create an environment based on your dog or cat's needs. I understand that each pet is unique, and my approach is to treat your pet in a way that respects and values their special personality. With over 6 years of experience working within a veterinarian clinic as front desk assistant I've helped pet owners receive the best care needed for their pets. Within this position I also transported pets to and from home & clinic. From this experience as well as caring for friends and neighbors pets, I've worked with multiple breeds of dogs and cats, including puppies & geriatric animals. Medication & Medical Care: Experience administering medications to cats & dogs in liquid and pill form as well as injected medications. Experience trimming nails, bathing, and bandaging. 4x Greyhound rescuer and involved in GPA (Greyhound Pets of America). I've also spent time helping with pet search and rescue.

Fran is the biggest dog lover I have EVER met. Her love of animals goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend her! The BEST!

I have known Fran for many years and have adopted her pups to her. She is a very responsible, caring and loving pet owner in which other pets would benefit from her skills and knowledge. Needs of the pet always come first and foremost. I would highly recommend Fran as a pet sitter and walker.

I’ve been friends and close by neighbors with Fran for years! She has lovingly cared for my cat, dog and fish while I traveled. My dog adores her and I trust her to care for my pets. She is a kind, compassionate, and very responsible animal lover and owner. I would recommend her to care for your pet! Becky

I have known Fran for several years and have witnessed the heartfelt care and adoration that she has for animals of all types. She is always patient, loving, and thoughtful of their needs (she has even shoveled through several inches of snow to provide a walking path in the backyard so the dogs could easily meander throughout the space). Our dog loves seeing Fran and knows he will always get a warm welcome and lots of love. She is trustworthy and your pets will love her too!

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pets as I would my own. I walk dogs during non peak heat times of day for their safety. Currently I'm not caring for client pets in my own home.

Information Fran K. would like to know about your pet

Information that's important to me to know is what foods allergies they may have. Any challenges with sounds or food aggressive behavior. Their interests and likes such as toys, treats, riding in cars...

A typical day

I love to play with dogs with their favorite toys and treats. I like to take them on walks in their neighborhoods or other natural areas that allow for them to explore and feel safe. I can give then a good muscle massage and petting based on what they like most too :)
