Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Sitter
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.

Ratings and 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.
Francesca was great- she looked after the hound and even helped keep up the house while we were gone. She sent us frequent updates with pictures to let us know things were going smooth. We'll definitely go to her again in the future, she's a genuine young woman that truly cares.
Francesca stayed in our home with our two spoiled Weimaraners while we were away for 5 days. We have 1 very healthy, very active boy, and 1 "special needs" girl who needed to stay on a medication schedule. Francesca handled it all with confidence, responsibility, and compassion. Francesca paid special attention to the details of our normal routine and did such a great job to make our doggies feel secure. Our dogs enjoyed walks every day with her and it was so comforting to know that Francesca was so capable of handling our Weims on their leashes. Both our dogs and our home were well cared for by Francesca. I absolutely recommend Francesca for your pet sitting needs!
