Safety, trust & environment
I mainly care for pets in your home, using guidelines you provide me with. I’m open to boarding requests but do not currently offer this service on short notice.
Information Francesca G. would like to know about your pet
1. How long do you want my stays to be? 2. Does your dog need more than a 30 minute walk per day? 3. When does your dog prefer to be walked? 4. Do you have other pets, how do your dogs get along with them? 5. Any health issues, chronic illnesses, or allergies? 6. What medications does your dog need and on what schedule? 7. When is mealtime, and how many times a day does your dog eat? 8. Is your dog afraid or reactive towards children, other pets, or anything in particular? 9. Has your dog ever run away/escaped, and how was he/she retrieved? 10. On a scale of 1-10, how much affection does your dog prefer? All breeds are welcome!
A typical day
Our walking route depends on what the owner is comfortable with and what the usual routine is. This can be a familiar route, or anywhere nearby that would be enjoyable for your dog - parks, trails, big grassy fields, etc. We can take a slow and leisurely walk, or go for a run if your dog likes to "zoom". My stays include a 30 minute walk per night. I normally do not take your dog outside without a leash on (unless it's in your secure yard). We can also play in the yard if you have one, with a ball, frisbee, or whatever your dog's favorite toy is. I have a spare ball if you would like me to bring one. If you are comfortable with me taking your dog in the car, we can also go on optional beach trips or hikes - always with a leash secured! Your pup can look forward to lots of cuddle time while I'm studying and doing homework, so lap dogs and cuddle bugs will be especially happy with me staying over. Belly rubs are an absolute must! At night, your dog is welcome to sleep in a bed with me, or in their own bed. Please let me know what the usual routine is, and I will follow that.

Experienced Sitter
Pet care experience
I don't just love dogs; I know how to take care of them responsibly. As much as working with animals is enjoyable and fun for me, I am aware of the responsibility and skill level required to maintain a safe and healthy environment for your dog (or cat). I also know how hard it can be to leave your furry family members behind with a new person, so I'd love to reassure you with daily texts and photos of how our visit is going. I'm a former animal care professional with experience as a vet tech, pet store assistant manager, and groomer, and truly have an interest in the health and well being of your pet. I'm the type of person that double checks and will pay attention to the small details in your pet's behavior and appearance. And of course, I absolutely love dogs. My favorite thing about them is their ability to break up the seriousness of a moment by being absolutely silly! I've had the chance to meet dogs of all types and temperaments, and am comfortable walking energetic, leash aggressive, or nervous dogs. I understand how important exercise and quality time are in making your pup happy. My resume and references are always available upon request.
Reviews
Francesca did an excellent job of taking care of my Italian greyhounds. She communicated well, took extra care to make sure they both ate well, gave their meds, and kept my house very tidy. I look forward to her caring for them again in the future.
Francesca is a wonderful dog sitter. She did a great job with my three dogs and kitty. Nothing fazed her. She kept in close contact sending pics and notes regarding the animals. She is efficient and kind and prompt. She took excellent care of the house and animals. I highly recommend her.
Wow!! We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter than Francesca!! She was so good with our dogs & their anxiety issues. She knew exactly how to handle each situation & was very good about communication with us on our trip. Lots of pics of our happy puppies were comforting to receive on a daily basis. The house was also cared for very well!! We will definitely have Francesca back again.
We loved Francesca's care for our two puppies. She consistently updated us with messages and pictures and was quickly responsive to our messages. She remembered all our special instructions and seemed to really enjoy our dogs. The puppies were very happy when we came home. When we met her we could tell that she is friendly, dedicated and responsible, and we like that she is studying to be a vet. I have found a new person to trust with our dogs and I can now feel more relaxed when having to leave our puppies at home, knowing that they are happy too.
