Semi Retired Mom, Crazy about Dogs!

Pet care experience

I am currently semi-retired from working full time corporate jobs looking to stay active and spend time doing the things I love. I have had dogs and have been caring for dogs for many years. I currently help take care of my two grand-dogs. I am comfortable walking large dogs up to 70 lbs.

We’ve been working with Fran for three weeks now and cannot say enough great things about her! She is kind, prompt, flexible and a sweetheart with our Winnie. Winnie gets so excited every time Fran walks in our door. We couldn’t be happier to have met Fran in our new neighborhood!

Fran has been an absolute lifesaver for Monty and me! Having recently undergone surgery, I needed some help with Monty's walks, and I consider myself incredibly lucky to have found Fran. She's super reliable, friendly, and you can tell she loves what she's doing. Monty was crazy for her and was so excited to see her come back after meeting her the first time. She treats the dogs she walks as if they're her own, gives them so much love and care, and I felt at ease knowing my dog was well taken care of with her. Despite Monty's history of leash reactivity and resource guarding, which I had openly discussed with Fran, she handled these issues with the utmost professionalism and care. This made me feel entirely at ease entrusting Monty into her care. I've been on the lookout for a top-notch dog walker in our area for a while, and Fran is definitely it! I can't recommend her enough - we will be using her for any and all of our future needs!

LOL stands for lots of love when it comes to taking care of your pets. I am comfortable with utilizing a crate for giving your dogs their safe space if they need to calm down, or just rest. We had a Black Lab named Zoey while I was raising my two kids, and so I learned from experience the importance of keeping dangerous objects out of reach of the dogs, not leaving food out on the edge of tables, and being aware of their moods based on barking, whining, or requesting affection.

Information Fran W. would like to know about your pet

If it is good with children and adults and other animals. I also would want to know how well they walk.(pulling for example.) Most importantly if it likes me.

A typical day

I can play games such as tug of war and fetch. I can take them to a park and into the dog park if they are good with other dogs.
