Pet care experience

I'm your dog's new best friend

I've grown up with dogs my whole life up until I moved down to Florida. Since living in St. Pete for the past two years I have been dog sitting for my friends' dogs every chance I get. I'm excited that I can now watch their dogs in my quiet neighborhood home and let them roam free in my fenced in backyard. I treat all dogs as if they were my own! I make sure to give them plenty of attention, belly rubs, walks, and high fives. It's hard having to leave your dog home alone to go to work or find someone trustworthy to watch him or her while you're out of town but I'm excited to become your new trusted dog sitter! Whether it's a quick check in, a walk around the block, or a weekend hang I'm ready to become BFF with your pup.

We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our 10-year-old Walter! Being a bit of a mama’s boy, he usually gets pretty anxious when he’s away from home, but Francesca made him feel right at ease. She was wonderful about sending us regular updates, which gave us such peace of mind. Walter absolutely loved playing in her backyard, and it was so comforting to see him settle in so quickly. We highly recommend Francesca to anyone looking for a caring and attentive sitter!

Francesca was amazing! She provided consistent updates and pictures during my dog’s first time boarding with her. Would book again! :)

I always feel guilty leaving Zoey but there was no need for that. I I felt so comfortable with Francesca watching her. We got photos and updates throughout the stay. I know Zoey felt perfectly at home. Couldn't be happier with Francesca's care of Zoey.

This is the 3rd time we have had echo stay with Francesca and she is always so good with her! Always keeps us up to date with how our crazy pup is doing and sends lots of pictures. We of course will be using her again!

We -landed our vacation based on Francesca’s availability. We trust her completely with our Zozo. Thank you Francesca for taking such good care of her. ❤️

Schedule

I'm currently self employed and work from home so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the week. I have some evening activities I'm apart of but I am happy to figure out a schedule that works best for both of us!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is on a quiet street with a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room inside and lots of windows for your pet to find the perfect napping sun spot. I am also available to come to you for day visits and/or walks. I prefer doing a quick meet and greet with you and your dog (no charge of course!) before providing services so we can make sure we all get along together.
