Pet care experience

Franny the Pet Nanny

Hi! I’m a dedicated pet sitter who truly loves providing calm, individualized care. I work from home two days a week, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. I walk dogs 3–4 times daily, adjusting pace and distance to each dog’s needs and energy level. I only take one client at a time, so your pet will never be competing for attention. This setup is especially great for reactive dogs, anxious pups, or scared/shy cats who do best in a quiet, low-stress environment. I live in a quiet apartment, perfect for pets who prefer peace and routine. I also have experience administering medications, and I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. When I’m not pet sitting, I foster both cats and dogs, which has given me experience with a wide range of personalities, behaviors, and special needs. I’m patient, observant, and always focused on making pets feel safe and at home. I’d love to meet you and your pet and provide the kind of care I’d want for my own!

Francesca was the perfect fit for our older nervous dog. Luna was happy and comfortable the entire 8 days. Francesca sent pics and updates each day. We would happily use her again.

Francesca was absolutely amazing! I tend to get really anxious when I leave Cher for a long time but I had zero worries with how communicative Francesca was and how quickly Cher warmed up to her. Highly recommend booking her! I will definitely book her again.

Francesca was fantastic! Great communication during booking and throughout the pup’s stay. Always nice to feel at ease with how the pups are doing while I’m away. I’d highly recommend!

Francesca was GREAT! She's friendly , reliable, and super accommodating! I regularly received updates and pictures and could enjoy being out of town because I knew my cat, Koto, was getting such great care! This was a last-minute booking and I'm so happy I went with my gut. Thank you Francesca!!!

Francesca was amazing with Clay! She gave him so much love and sent me adorable updates while I was away. When I picked him up, he was super happy to see me but also sad to leave her. He kept looking back at her until she disappeared down the stairs. I could tell he felt really safe and at home with her. I’d definitely book again!

Francesca was able to accommodate us last minute to take care of Mochi. She updated me twice a day with pictures and he was so happy and comfortable with her! I felt good knowing my pup was safe while I was away.

Safety, trust & environment

I always follow the pet owners instructions for care and follow-up with any questions or concerns I may have. I like to provide a peaceful atmosphere where the pets can feel at home. I also only feed them the food/treats you provide.

A typical day

Typically with dogs I will take them on 3-4 walks a day. We also play with toys at home to keep them entertained. With cats I let them lead the way on alone time or social time.

The more information you provide to me about your pet the better. Whether that's quirks, reactivity, or food sensitivity everything is helpful. I would also like to know if they do well in apartments.
