About Francesca D.
Communication
Skills
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.
Home
Information Francesca D. would like to know about your pet
Any health issues/food sensitivities If they are familiar with children - my son respects boundaries but he may start shouting randomly. If they have been around cats or small animals? My cats handle themselves and I typically have a dog on a leash until I see how they interact with each other. If the cats can simply go to another room, they will. If your dog wants to chat and eat them, that would not be ideal and would keep them separated obviously
A typical day
Playing in a fenced yard, some long 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

5+ 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 was an absolute pleasure. She made our trip way less stressful with her timeliness and perfesonalisim. She is now my pet lady. I won't be using anyone else. I may even reschedule my travel plans in the future so I can make sure she's available to come by. 10 out of 5 stars!
Francesca is awesome…my furbabies are taken care of and I have peace of mind always when she comes for drop ins and walks and feeding ! They are happy and content with Francesca and always happy!! And so am I !!
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.
