Information Fran L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about your pet in advance, do they have any quirks, special needs, some food allergies or preferences, any favorite toys or activities?

Pet care experience

I started dog sitting and cat sitting for friends and family over the years, I've also taken care of guinea pigs and parrots. I used to have two cats at home I took care of them as they were getting older, then passed away last year. I have been volunteering for an animal rescue for about 15 years so I've experience with all kinds of cats. I love cats and small dogs and I'll take the best care of yours while you are away. I'll keep them fed, well petted, loved and entertained (I love playing with them!). I can also give medications, brush them as needed.

Fran is wonderful and I felt at ease with her checking in on my cats. She made their treat time more exciting/stimulating by adding toys to a treat maze and always tries to engage my shy kitties. I appreciate that she takes notes and asks good questions about care preferences.

Fran was very responsive and a great communicator. We had a good initial meeting where she took notes and asked questions about my kitties likes and needs. She sent excellent photos and was really patient with my shy cats. When I returned, everything was clean and orderly and my cats were calm and happy.
