Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal-loving Grad Student
I’ve always been an animal lover, and found my first pet (an adorable orange tabby) on the streets when I was in elementary school. Since then, I’ve volunteered for my local MSPCA animal shelter and gotten a dog of my own. My own dog has struggled with some behavioral issues, so I have plenty of experience and training in that area. I can offer engaging walks and play sessions, and am also available for house visits if your fur baby just needs some extra TLC when you’re gone. As a pet owner myself, I fully understand the concerns and stress associated with trying to find someone to pet sit. I can guarantee that I will give your pets the same care and attention that I give my own.

I’m always happy to spend quality time with animals, and can adapt to whatever they need most, whether that’s a long walk or some hangout time on the couch.
Ratings and reviews
Francesca was amazing! She was very easy to communicate with prior to walking our dog, and provided plenty of updates and pictures during the walks! We wouldn't hesitate to have her walk our dog again.
Francesca was great, very communicative, good with our dog, and trustworthy. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!
Francesca took care of my dog Nellie for two nights. Nellie is an active dog who does not get along well with other dogs. Francesca kept her safe, exercised and happy, and kept us informed with lots of pictures. Would recommend! She did a great job!
I highly recommend Francesca as a dog caregiver. She used to take my golden retriever Charles out for walks when I was working. Charles is a bit feisty so it takes some time to warm up to him. However, Francesca knew what to do right away. She was very patient with him and I always trusted that Charles was in the best care with her when I was not around. She has a great passion for animals in general, especially for dogs. She is very caring and has a great amount of knowledge in regards to dealing with all different types of dogs. Francesca will exceed expectations and be an amazing dog sitter and walker for Rover!
Francesca is one of the best people I know! She is a true animal lover and has lots of experiences taking care of many types of pets. She is responsible and kind and would make a great pet sitter for your pet! I would trust her with my own dog in a heartbeat! If you choose her, you can be confident that your pet will be taken care of!
Francesca is an experienced dog owner and caregiver who takes animal care seriously and responsibly. She has been a volunteer at the Angell animal shelter for years, and has extensive experience handling dogs who are nervous, high energy, and have aggression concerns. When dog walking, she is always aware of other animals and people in the area and is consistently careful in ensuring all interactions are safe. She is meticulous about care at home, whether that means maintaining pets on special diets or keeping up with specific care after medical procedures. She also communicates regularly and can work with any specific instructions you have. She is an avid animal lover and will do everything you need to make you feel certain your pet is in safe hands. I've seen her work with dogs of all temperaments and ages, and would trust her with anyone.

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule, but I do like to plan a few days in advance. For that reason, I’m not able to take same-day bookings.

- I’d like to know in advance if your dog has any behavioral or medical concerns. I’m very familiar with reactive dogs, but this helps me prepare.
