4+ yrs vet assistant/dog sitter
Pet care experience
Vet assistant for 5+ years throughout NY, Aspiring vet tech taking classes online, Experienced dog walker and was an in home pet sitter prior to moving to FL. I have 4 cats. (My Chihuahua recently passed due to heart failure) I love all animals and am comfortable handling any size or shape. I prefer friendly animals (of course!) But I have dealt with aggressive dogs and succeeded in gaining their trust and building a great relationship with them. - I was the only walker, besides the business owner, who could tend to the Australian Shepherd. After figuring out how to leash him, once we got outside of his house he was a huge mush! We would picnic and exchange kisses (picture included in my photos)! As for cats... I owned an aggressive, biting cat. I don't think I could experience a worse cat. Without warning she attacked me and bit my hands, arms, and legs.. after medication with our vet she continued to live with us without incident until she passed from cancer in 2019. I love cats and would gladly check in on your cats and home while you are away: clean litter boxes, feed cats, play with them, etc. Kittens are welcome to stay at my home, but I feel adult cats would be more comfortable at their own home. I will no doubt treat your pet like my own furry family member.
Reviews
Francesca is a mature, down to earth, flexible, kind and a truly attentive caregiver to our two cats especially regarding our much older kitty who was approaching end of life. We have no qualms about having her help us again with drop-in care! She is first rate!
Francesca was great! You can tell she loves dogs and gives them lots of attention. Zoey (cavapoo) was nervous at first but Francesca made her feel right at home. Zoey was very well cared for and I wouldn’t hesitate using Francesca again.
Francesca is very kind and trustworthy. She communicated with us to let us know how our 12 week pup was doing throughout the day. She responds quickly to your messages and very flexible. I highly recommend Francesca to any pet parents out there looking for someone trustworthy.
Francesca is always reliable and takes excellent care of our dog! Recommend 100%!!!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard and live on a fairly quiet street. To ensure animals, including my own, don't get out, we typically only go through the garage so no risk of animals running out the front door.
Information Francesca D. would like to know about your pet
Any health issues/food sensitivities If they are familiar with children - my son learning to respect boundaries and is always supervised for your pets protection.
A typical day
Playing in a fenced yard, some walks, and Iots of play time if they want or they can sleep most of the day like my 15 yr old Chihuahua. Anything goes here

Availability
I can be home 99% of the time but whenever I do need to leave my husband works from home, so your pet will never be completely alone.
