Hi there my name is Francesca! I have been actively involved in the dog world my whole life and started professionally when I was 16 years old! My mother has been owning and training dogs for 40+ years. I am blessed to have shared the same passion with her & follow in her footsteps. Growing up, I was around breeds as small as Frenchies, to as big as Saint Bernards! Dogs have been a major part of our lives for as long as I can remember. It’s more than a hobby, it’s a lifestyle! I currently work from home as a dog trainer & dog photographer. I competitively train my personal 3 German Shepherds in a high precision obedience sport. My dogs also star on the NBC TV Show Chicago PD! We have been signed on as K9 and Handlers since season 2! Working from home gives me time to show love, exercise, and care for your pets! I am very experienced with all sizes, numerous breeds, ages, energy and drive levels. We can do walks, hikes, playtime with safe dogs and even swimming on those hot days! I live in a bi-level home in Mazon! We have 5 acres to run & play! We have a fenced in deck attached to a pea gravel potty area! Our home is designed to be dog friendly. We have numerous dog beds that are routinely washed & dried! Feel free to bring your pets favorite toys or allow them to pick from our box of miscellaneous novelties! We supply fresh water in clean bowls that are washed every night. We strive to provide your pet with a safe, comfortable, fun and clean environment! If your pet enjoys other dogs we are happy to allow them to play and hang out! If not, we are more than willing to adjust and give your dog their own freedom where they are stress free! I am trustworthy, flexible & incredibly reliable. Any and all instructions given to me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your best friend happy!

I want to thank francesca for watching my 11 week old cane corso puppy. We had my sons wedding this past weekend and i did not want him to stay in a kennel. She was amazing. She sent us pictures and videos daily. The communication was great. Niko did not want to leave. Lol. I will bring him back again and again. Thank you so much.. ken .

Francesca was absolutely amazing with our pitty! She sent pictures and kept communication when needed. I felt extremely confident and comfortable leaving my dog with her. It made our vacation that much more enjoyable knowing Maverick was well taken care of. We will definitely be using her again! 5 stars- Highly recommend!

We have never left our boy, Hank with anyone other than family. We could not have found a better fit for Hank. Francesca treated him like one of her own. She took him for walks, out to swim, and just treated him like part of the family. She sent us pics, videos, and texts to let us know how he was doing. I would recommend Francesca 100%! If we ever need a sitter again, we will for sure call on Francesca!

Francesca gave my dog her medicine twice a day, worked to get out her energy and made her as comfortable as possible in her home. Truly appreciate everything she did while I was away!

Francesca does well with my dogs. She provides daily updates like pictures and videos of my dogs. She makes sure they have daily exercise. Francesca is one of few people I trust my dogs with. 10/10 would recommend using Francesca for your dog sitting needs.

I have watched Francesca interact with many different dogs. She has an amazing heart and a lot of patience for even some of the most difficult dogs. She treats every client dog as if it was her own. I would definitely recommend her services.
