24/7 love, care & play on 2 acres

Pet care experience

Full time, exceptional care and attention in doggy heaven :) I work from home. Freelance writer and designer who spends full time with the wonderfully spoiled dogs. I'm always with them. Outside is fully fenced yard to play. I'm a huge dog lover and especially experienced care giver to all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I have two sweet and goofy, friendly dogs of my own. Days here include outside playtime, as much excercise as needed and plenty of attention and snuggles. Supervision inside and out. No kids. Everywhere is dog friendly here. Including up on the bed with me if that’s where they’re most comfortable! Drop off and pick ups times to be arranged between 7am - 8pm. Please note: 8pm is new cutoff for pickup each night. I have tons of experience with separation anxiety. Whether your dog's a seasoned pro at time away or this is their first night away from mom/dad, I'm adaptable and adept at caring for all types. My home environment and level of individual care make this a special place for dogs to be completely comfortable and loved in a home away from home. I ran a doggy daycare and boarding service out of my home in Santa Monica for years. A few years ago I went freelance and moved from LA to find a perfect home and yard for more peaceful life with the dogs :) Success! I've also been a dedicated rescue volunteer since I was a teen. Meet my pup Maggie is my Pyrenees/mix. She's goofy and always ready for a romp, but equally ready to just flop down for a nap. About my yard My home is fully fenced and secure. My experience administering medication I have experience as a home nurse to many kinds of dog-related illness and ailments. There is no injury I wouldn't be comfortable caring for and consulting with my local veterinarian about. I have cared for dogs with diabetes requiring insulin injections on schedule. I have experience and background with a huge range of issues including: allergies, skin & ear infections, blindness, deafness, lack of mobility due to old age, hypoglycemia, gastrointestinal disease, incontinence, ticks, chewing compulsions, dehydration, anxiety, depression, regressive behavior, post-surgical patients and even heart worm are all conditions I have experience caring for. I have spent my life around medical professionals and veterinarians and am comfortable and confident I can give every dog I take in the absolute best, most loving and attentive care for any situation

Frances is the absolute best person to take care of your dog. Loving, caring and fun. Our dude was so happy staying with her for 20 days....a long time for a pup to be away, but Frances made it fun for him and gave him all the scritches he needed. Highly recommend!!! Thank you Frances?

We have used Frances’ services in the past for our Border Collie Bojangles but had never boarded our puppy (21 months) Maggie. She is always with us so we were concerned how she would do. Frances as always spent time getting to know Maggie and made sure she was comfortable with her new surroundings. Frances sent us pictures during our time away and Maggie was having her best dog life playing, running and actually was a bit homesick for her other new “besties” when we brought her home. One of the positive outcomes was Maggie used to be finicky when she would eat and was a grazer. Her first evening home she finished her meal as soon as it was put down!!! Frances spends quality time with each of her boarders. Her environment is so dog friendly, clean and welcoming. We highly recommend her for her loving care not only of her boarders but their people owners as well. Thank you Frances! Fred, Eileen and Maggie
