I understand schedules vary and sometimes life presents surprises where we need to find someone to care for our beloved pup at the last minute. I work remotely with a flexible schedule. Let me help you when you need it most. Every day, I plan activities to engage their brains and exercise their bodies, often involving adventures through the neighborhood, trips to the fenced dog park, and visits to the river on hot days. At the end of the day, we enjoy healthy treats that I prepare myself, which also engage their brains and senses.

A Typical Day with Fran 🐾 Belly rubs and morning love start the day, followed by breakfast and a tail-wagging walk—through the neighborhood, to a fenced dog park, or along the river (on leash, of course!). Afternoons are for cozy naps and dinner, topped off with healthy homemade frozen treats in the summer. Spontaneous play and lots of love guaranteed!

Your Dog’s New BFF

Pet care experience

Hello, I’m Fran—a devoted dog lover and experienced guardian offering a highly personalized, in-home care experience for a select few dogs at a time. When you’re away, I offer your dog more than just care—I provide a true holiday of their own. Each dog is welcomed into a calm, thoughtfully held environment where they are not just looked after, but genuinely known, understood, and cherished. I believe we don’t own our pets—we’re entrusted with them. My role is to ensure every dog in my care feels safe, happy, and deeply loved, with a sense of ease and belonging. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. Each one arrives with their own story and personality, and it’s a joy to watch them settle in, open up, and truly thrive. Because I work with a limited number of families, I’m able to offer an experience that is unhurried, intuitive, and deeply personal—something both dogs and their people can feel completely at ease with. If you’re seeking a more intentional, personalized experience for your dog, I invite you to get in touch and explore availability.

Dusty was a tired happy dog when he came home. Fran took Dusty on long walks, took him to the dog park and provided him with lots of love while we were away. We really appreciated that she sent frequent updates and pictures while we were away.

Frances was so amazing she went above and beyond for us, she came and picked up Dolly to work with our schedules. She also took her on a walk and then later to the dog park. Just when I would wonder how they are doing she would shoot me a video or a picture to let me know how their day was going. I would 100% recommend Frances to friends and family who love their pets and need a reliable human to care for them. Francis next time we are in need you will be my 1st call!!!!!! Thank you so much! Side notes~Great communication, her home is lovely and clean.

Fran really took her time and attention to understand and care for my 1 year old Catahoula who is a handful! She sent great updates and made him feel very comfortable and loved while I was gone. Great sitter

Thank you Fran for taking such good care of our fur - babe; also a handful of extra treats to Murphy please , he was so sweet and welcoming to Jackson! Both of you put our minds at ease seeing the genuine connection and care you showed him ‘out of the gate’ ….. we will catch you next time we are back in the area, and need to leave Jackson overnight. This is truly your calling, cheers!
