Pet care experience

I am an experienced pet sitter and dog walker, and am just starting out on Rover. I grew up with 2 sweet rottweilers, and have been walking and taking care of neighbors' dogs since I was 10 years old. As an adult, many of my friends have trusted me to take care of their pets, homes, and gardens in their absence. In recent years, many friends of friends and neighbors of friends have started reaching out to me for pet care as well. This keeps me booked and busy whenever I'm in my hometown, especially during the summer months. I have lived with roommates who have cats on and off for 3 years and desperately want a cat of my own. I'm in college, and I'm not allowed to have pets at school, so taking care of other people's pets is a joy. I have a soft spot in my heart for big dogs and "bully breeds". They can be a handful, but they are some of the sweetest angels on the planet if they have a loving home.

Fran took wonderful care of our animals as usual. She’s extremely attentive and conscientious. We will definitely plan to hire Fran for our next trip.

Fran was wonderful — knowing she was caring for my cat gave me a much better peace of mind while I was away. I’d 100% book with her again!

Fran is amazing and took great care of my dog! I got texts from Fran throughout my trip letting me know what my dog was up to! Highly recommend!!

Fran was great with our dog and chickens! I was a bit concerned with our lengthy instructions, but she had everything figured out quickly and was excellent with communication.

Safety, trust & environment

I live on a college campus and am not allowed to host pets in my home. I have a car and am more than happy to come to you.

Information Fran M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is not leash trained, or is aggressive with other dogs. This affects my approach, and helps me figure out when/where it's best for me to walk them. If your dog weighs more than me and is not leash trained, I will either have to decline or talk through other options with you.

A typical day

I love to hike, and I love bringing dogs on the trail with me. Let me know if your dog would be up for an adventure! I also love leisurely walks in beautiful places. I'm especially fond of lakes and rivers with trails alongside them.
