Domestic & Exotic animal experience
Pet care experience
Most girls grow up babysitting. I grew up pet sitting. Domestic: I have taken care of 4 cats, 1 dog, and 2 birds multiple times in the owner’s home. Exotic: I’ve taken care of a farm with 2 donkeys, 4 goats, 4 dogs, and some chickens. I’m very flexible with schedule, pet needs, traveling distance and am more than willing to do any extra work like grooming or meds if needed. My sister is a veterinarian so I’ve helped in surgeries and general pet check-ups, and I grew up around exotic (snakes, lizards, horses, cows, goats) as well as domestic animals. I also have experience with a lady who’s 4 dogs all needed to wear doggy diapers and each needed different medication from the others.
Reviews
Francesca took excellent care of our fur babies while we were out of state on vacation! She stayed in touch with messages and pictures while we were gone, so we were able to enjoy our time away without a single worry about how our babies were being cared for. Her ability to house sit while we were away saved us the hassle of loading up, dropping off, and picking up our dogs, which always turns into a huge headache!! Francesca was very caring; we would highly recommend her services!!
Francesca is a dependable, hard-working and smart individual who would make an excellent pet caregiver. The experiences regarding animals that Francesca and I share deal mostly with our family dog that we had growing up. However, more recently while Francesca was visiting me for the holidays, I was on call at the clinic. (I am a mixed animal general practice veterinarian.) When I was called in for a cesarean section in the middle of the weekend, Francesca gladly volunteered to come help revive the puppies as they were removed from the mother's body. She listened well to the attending technician and helped bring 4 puppies into the world that day, and continued to stay and help with the emergencies that followed that one; all during a holiday weekend. Based on this experience (from just 3 weeks ago), I highly recommend trusting in Francesca as a pet caregiver.
I have known Francesca since she was born. She has had dogs her whole life and it has always been very clear that she loves them. She is a very responsible and trustworthy person in all aspects of her life, she is athletic and has a lot of energy, she'll walk with your dog for hours. There is no one I would trust more to take care of my dog than Francesca.

Information Francesca F. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know breed, weight, fixed or not, how much they shed, any medical information, and anything else pertinent.
A typical day
If you have certain preferences for activities I’m all ears, otherwise I will typically take dogs on runs/walks with me on the trail by my complex or to the park. Tennis courts or dog parks are great areas for them to roam free without leashes.
