Pet care experience

Full-time pet care in your home!

I personally have a little over 20 years of experience caring for animals. Aside from the normal walks and feeding, I often like to take them on car rides to go hiking or to the park. I have experience administering medications as needed and will follow any instructed ongoing training. Certainly open to caring for cats and other animals as well as dogs. I do have experience caring for birds, chickens, lizards and turtles to name a few! Cuddling, playing fetch, lots of love and attention are number one. I work away from home during the day however I stop home for lunch. I travel to throughout St. Louis County for my job so it’s convenient for me to stop by the house and check on your pets throughout the day to meet your pets needs. I usually will be home from work between 5 and 5:30. I sometimes work a little bit on the weekends, however in the late fall and winter months I have full weekend availability. Currently I cannot have any animals where I live so this is why I chose rover. Also, I do believe it’s important for your fur family to be in their most comfortable environment. Absolutely always enjoy having a dog or cat in my presence. I have family members who have helped me out in the past if for some reason I cannot be home. A lot of extra love to go around.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I provide services directly in your home, I am strict about following the routine that is up to you and your pets. Such as the eating schedule, medication‘s, and daily walks and any ongoing training. I will also communicate with the client and the vet as necessary if any health issues or injuries should arise. I’d like to keep daily communication with the client as well as pictures on how everything is going.

Frances was amazing! She stayed with our little guy during the big snowstorm and even shoveled the snow on our driveway and back patio! She took great care of Rocco and our house! We will definitely be scheduling her again!!

If you are in need of an amazing, professional and reliable pet and/or house sitter, Frances is your girl. She sat for us for 4 days over the Christmas holiday and we couldn't have been more pleased with her. She sent updates and pics and warmed right up to my two senior dogs (one of which is very shy and timid). When we returned the house was clean. She had stripped and washed the bed sheets and towels used during her stay. We will definitely use Frances again for our future pet/house sitting needs. We wish we could leave more stars!

Frannie did a great job pet sitting for my puppy Leo and bird Sammie. She took very special care of them, and communicated with me often. I will definitely have her sit for me again in the future.

41 to 100 lbs

Frances can host up to 1 drop-in per day
No breed preferences! Knowing your pets daily routine allows me to learn their personal needs. I would like to know how your pet behaves around other animals. How old they are and if they are able to still go on long walks or runs. Training and medication needs! And overall what your pet Prefers!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
