Pet care experience

Compassionate, Responsible & Active

Hi! My name is Frances Irene. I joined Rover for my simple love of dogs and I enjoy nothing more than being outdoors with them. I have over 20 years of experience dog sitting, boarding and walking. I've cared for a variety of pets from dogs to cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, and even rats. Yes rats! I raised my own dog for over 10 years, so I understand the importance of keeping pets on a regimented schedule of food, water and walks as well as providing them with plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'm trained on proper leash and walking techniques and I have experience administering eye and ear drops as well as medications. I have a patient, loving and gentle demeanor. I'm also comfortable being assertive, giving direction and taking the lead. I have a playful disposition and I'm not afraid to get a little dirty :) I enjoy being active and playing fetch, running in the park, or playing tug of war. If your pups will join me I often take dogs for a little run, but if they prefer to lay around all day and get belly rubs we can do that too! From big dogs to little ones, from a lot of energy to low key, I enjoy caring for them all. I am compassionate, kind, respectful, honest, and hard working. Your pet's care and safety is my number one priority ❤. I look forward to caring for your pet companions soon! Frances

Safety, trust & environment

During my stay I can take dogs out for short and long walks, runs as well as let them out in a fenced in back yard. I can also take pets to the dog park or the beach if they are good listeners, gentle around other dogs and well behaved.

House Sitting • Jul 13, 2017

Frances was great with my two crazy dogs!! This was my first time using Rover and Frances stayed in my house to watch my two big and rambunctious dogs. It is not always easy to find a great pet sitter but Frances was very caring and responsible. She was available the last minute, even during 4th of July weekend!! She sent pics and texts daily to keep me updated on my dogs. I would definitely use her again to watch my dogs. Frances was awesome!!

Frances is my go-to dog sitter and walker. Whenever I go out of town, she's the one who takes care of my 75lbs lab mix. My pup is an only child type of dog, so, boarding is out of the question. She is a great listener and takes direction very well on how to handle certain situations when it comes to my dog. I'm very grateful for having a trustworthy walker for my pup. I know that he's taken care of while I'm at work, or out of town. I appreciate all the updates, with pictures and texts. She always leaves a fresh bowl of water for my pup too. Frances, also has been most reliable when I need someone in a crunch. I can't say enough good things about Frances, I'm just very grateful for having her in my dogs life.

Frances is a wonderfully compassionate person and intuitive with animals. My terrier is a nervous little man but warmed up to Frances instantly (a big deal for him) and wanted her to lead him on the leash. Pippin, (my terrier) can have leash aggression with bikes from time to time and Frances is able to compassionately and firmly handle his energy. Her energy is patient and I trust Frances 100% with my fur babies. Tiger, my cat enjoys her company and if we were still living in Chicago she would be my go-to person for our pets care.
