Pet care experience
Over the years I have spent time learning how to administer medications whether it's orally, topical, or injections, while also learning to be patient, understand body language, and meeting animals where they are. I have more experience with cats than dogs, however I grew up with dogs in my family home and babysit my friends dogs for them all the time! I can walk, play, snuggle, love, and enjoy spending my days with your pup just as well as I can lounge, pet, play, and love your kitties too. :)

Reviews
Francesca watched my three animals, two young cats and an older dog. She was an amazing pet sitter keeping perfect care of all three of my fur babies. She kept them well fed, entertained and sooo comfortable. They love Francesca so much! She kept me update with everything regarding them and even provided multiple photos of my fur babies multiple times a day. I would trust Francesca again and again to watch them and would recommend her to any one else. She also is a great pet owner of her own fur babies.
Francesca has a genuine love for animals and it is clear in every interaction. She will go above and beyond to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and happy. Francesca is responsible, attentive, and incredibly intuitive when it comes to animals’ needs. She treats every pet as if it were her own, and I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust.
Francesca is the best possible choice for someone to watch any animal. She did a wonderful job watching not only my four older cats but also ensuing that my new kitten was treated just was well. She took care of my cats as if they were her own and I know she would do it for any animal she comes across. She followed all the (complicated) instructions I gave her for their care and sent me photos every time she was with them. I highly recommend having her take care of your animals, you will not be disappointed
I have known Francesca for over 4 years, and if she is anything- it's an animal lover. Not only have I petsat for Francesca and seen firsthand how loved and cared for her own animals are, but I had the pleasure of working with her at the cat-adoption center. She is very kind, dedicated, detail-oriented and attentive when it comes to caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. At the center we encountered cats of varied ages, temperments, and needs. Whether it be little kittens bursting with energy, shy kitties that need lots of patience, or old kitties with specific health/diet/medical needs, Francesca is able to handle it all! Before, she even worked at Pet Paradise- a dog boarding center. While I didn't work there with her, I loved hearing all the stories about the various dogs she encountered, and their quirks. She's an animal lover through and through. I can't reccomend her enough! <3
