Active, experienced, + WFH!

Pet care experience

I am an experienced dog owner with a range of personal experience in animal care, including animal first-aid and medication administration. I have extensive pet care experience, including aquatic animals, rodents, small mammals, cats, and working dogs. I have cared for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I have no breed preferences and have experience working with reactive dogs. For my main job, I work from remotely for a local non-profit and am home full time 4 days a week. I conduct in-person meetings every Friday morning. In my free time, I enjoy active adventures with my friendly, 3 year old GSP. I maintain training boundaries with my dog (no begging, no jumping, etc.) and am comfortable keeping basic maintenance of pet-training goals that you have. For boarding services, we must schedule a meet-and-greet in advance to ensure that your dog gets along with my friendly, 3 year old GSP. This is not a requirement for other services. Typically, I am unable to stay overnight for house-sitting requests as I have my own pup at home, Depending on the needs of the animal(s) and client preferences, I schedule regular drop ins and walks throughout the day. My home includes a private, fenced-in backyard. I always supervise outdoor time regardless of fencing. For boarding services, we must schedule a meet-and-greet in advance to ensure that your dog gets along with my friendly, 3 year old GSP. This is not a requirement for other services.

Frances Marie was an outstanding sitter for our two pups over the holidays. She was the ultimate professional and set us at ease immediately. She has great expertise with dogs. She made sure our very two different dogs needs were met (including giving our energetic one lots of playtime and walks!) and she was an excellent communicator. We’d love to use her services again and highly recommend for others!

Frances Marie was the perfect choice to look after our cats while we were out of town. She always came to scheduled visits reliably, was very attentive to our instructions, and sent us pictures of our cats to let us know they were doing well while we were away. We definitely plan to contact Frances Marie again!

Frances Marie was wonderful! She sent text/photo updates and dealt with my dog’s separation anxiety issues with grace and compassion. We really appreciated her sitter services!

Safety, trust & environment

As a dog owner who has committed significant time and resources to my own pet's training, I understand the stress of trusting a new person to care for a member of your family. For owners seeking support with behavior maintenance during boarding, it's important that we discuss a plan for care prior to your dog's stay.

Information Frances Marie P. would like to know about your pet

Please share if your dog has any known behavioral struggles, including resource guarding, counter-surfing, lunging on leash, fence jumping, etc. Please share if your dog has ever stayed with another dog overnight before and how they normally interact with other dogs. Please share what your normal routine with your pet is, including meal, exercise, and bathroom routines.

A typical day

Mental and Physical exercise combined with adequate rest is an important part of any day. I enjoy exploring new parks and trails on walks. On days without lots of physical exercise, mental exercise can be supported through frozen meals, puzzle games, and familiar, basic obedience training.
