Pet care experience

I love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I know every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you're away. Whether it's walks, playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company, I'll make sure they get plenty of attention and love. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, happy, and in good hands. I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I can administer oral and subcutaneous medications. I am happy to provide references from former Gilead and Genentech colleagues as well as neighbors. My best friend’s brother is a police detective who knows me well. I graduated with a BA from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, then went on and completed my MBA at Cornell University.

Frances is a loving, trustworthy, responsible pet caregiver. She will arrive at the designated time and care for your pet with kindness. She is great with both my cat and dog, and totally spoils them when I’m away. I highly recommend her!

I've known Fran for 12 years, and one of the things I admire most is how naturally caring and responsible she is with animals. She has had multiple cats since I’ve known her, and I’ve watched how she treats them like they are members of the family. She does literally everything for her cats in terms of providing great care… both medical and love. As her yellow tabby aged, she administered daily oral medication as well as subcutaneous injections for the cat for 3 years. I was a cat dad and was touched by how loving and caring she was to my cat. Any pet owner can feel confident knowing their furry family member is in such kind and dependable hands. Also, Fran’s integrity is unsurpassed. She is incredibly responsible, reliable and trustworthy.
