Dog-Loving WHF

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Frances. I'm an opera director currently working at home. I'm looking to have more dogs in my life and to get outside and enjoy the outdoors while I do it. I have quite a bit experience dog-sitting for friends and family, but I'm looking to branch out. I would be so excited to meet your furry family member and give them love and care you would. My current schedule is flexible, so I'm happy to take your pup out for playtime or a walk at the time they prefer. I’m so happy to send you updates and pictures of our time together.

2nd time booking with Frances and unfortunately it will be our last. Such a stark contrast in the feeling of care from the 1st day to this one imo. Now after a few days to gather some thoughts about this booking, I don’t think she liked Gizmo very much and fear she didn’t do much to engage him and it’s my feeling (not that I’m right, just a feeling) because he is shy she just ignored him all day. At pickup I felt rushed and she acted like she couldn’t hand Gizmo over to me fast enough for us to leave. But you’re not gonna gel with every sitter you book and I’m sure others feel the exact opposite about her care. It’s really just trial and error.

Frances is the best. Took Gizmo kind of last minute and was very accommodating. Her home is quiet, safe and very cozy. Everything a scared little Pomeranian needs to feel safe. She communicated throughout the day which I appreciated being a 1st time “Roverer”… we already made plans for day 2 with Frances. If you come across her profile (which obviously you have); don’t hesitate to reach out, you’ll be glad you did!

Frances ROCKS!! This was our first time using Rover. Our little Peach has lots of energy and can be quite reactive, but I had no worries with Frances! Peach seemed to really enjoy her time, got lots of treats and walks, and was perfectly happy.

Our little old lady Lilly loves Frances! Frances goes at Lilly's speed, and gives updates or asks questions if anything is out of the ordinary. It's such a relief knowing our pup gets a relaxing vacation when we're out of town.
