Pet care experience

Pets have been a part of my life since I was ten years old. It's the only way to live! I have owned and fostered many dogs over the years. In addition to volunteering as a foster mom for SC Sheltie Rescue, I fostered a senior Treeing Walker Coonhound, a young Min-Pin, and a 4-month old mixed breed herding dog. My Sheltie and I graduated from the Basic Obedience class at Greater Columbia Obedience Club.

Fran is simply exceptional! She cared for my three babies—Maverick, Dukie, and Lucie—with so much love, patience, and compassion. From the moment she walked through the door, I knew they were in wonderful hands. The visit summaries and pictures were absolutely priceless and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Fran took the time to get to know each of their unique personalities and made sure they felt safe, happy, and loved. Finding someone you trust with your furry family members is priceless, and Fran has earned my complete confidence. I am beyond grateful for her dedication, professionalism, and genuine love for animals. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an outstanding pet caregiver. Thank you, Fran, for taking such wonderful care of Maverick, Dukie, and Lucie. You are truly the best!

Absolutely! Here's a more personal version using "I": Fran has been an absolute blessing to me and to my dogs, Maverick, Dukie, and Lucie. She is dependable, caring, and treats them as if they were her own. I always have complete peace of mind knowing they are in her loving hands. My pups adore her, and I couldn't ask for a better caregiver. I highly recommend Fran to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional with animals! Or, if you'd like it even more heartfelt: I cannot say enough wonderful things about Fran. She takes such loving care of Maverick, Dukie, and Lucie, and I never have to worry when they are with her. She is kind, reliable, and truly has a special gift with animals. Knowing my babies are safe, happy, and loved means the world to me. I am so grateful for her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.
