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 once again has been a pleasure to work with and took such great care of my cats. She’s thoughtful and takes super pictures and sends detailed descriptions of her visits. I’m so glad we met Fran!

Fran is so thoughtful and caring with my cats. She takes wonderful photos and leaves thorough comments about each visit. I never worry about their care with Fran.

Fran took excellent care of our cat while we were away on vacation. Would give us real time updates, noted any different than normal behavior, and sent is tons of cute pics after her visits! Would highly recommend her to anyone who needs some to do drop in checks for their cat!
