A typical day

A Typical Day Dogs enjoy a balance of free play, structured activities, walks, exploration, socialization, and one-on-one attention. When appropriate, they may also participate in supervised playdates with compatible canine friends. Because every dog is unique, I tailor activities to each pup’s personality, energy level, and preferences. Whether your dog enjoys fetch, tug-of-war, leisurely walks, or simply relaxing, I strive to make their stay both enjoyable and enriching.

Pet care experience

I’ve been providing in-home pet care since 2019, offering a calm, supportive environment where pets receive trustworthy and reliable care. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with disabilities, and anxious or timid dogs, including rescue dogs and those with a history of trauma. To help ensure a successful stay, please share any routines, triggers, fears, or special needs when booking. Short-term and extended stays are welcome. During their stay, pets receive structure, support, encouragement, loving affection, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I provide playpens and doggie gates to safely separate dogs during feeding times or to create a comfortable private space for pups who enjoy their independence. I am also happy to accommodate your pet’s crate, bedding, and favorite comfort items to help them feel at home. For small or indoor-only dogs, playpens can be set up as needed, and they are welcome to use pee pads provided by their owners.

Frances was an exceptional caregiver!🤗 Despite the short stay, we did leave her overnight. This was our first time using Rover, but Frances made it so easy because she frequently sent updates on her activity, feeding, and sleeping patterns. She sent many photos too, making us feel very tranquil about leaving her in good hands. We will definitely use Rover again thanks to Frances. We would definitely book her again. 🐾😻😁🫶🏻

Frances was amazing with my cat. She sent frequent updates and was very detailed about his day to day. It is very evident that Frances cares about the pets she cares for and their specific needs. She was great and could absolutely recommend!

Skipper won’t board with anyone else! Even though we moved out of the area, because he is anxious and is comfortable with Frances, we continue to board him with her. We get regular photos and check ins; she keeps us updated on his health and activities. It had been over a year, and she asked if there were any new medications or changes before we booked. Will keep making the drive out when our furry family needs boarding.
