I work a hybrid schedule (in office Monday Wednesday & Thursday)- as such I find I am the best sitter for fellow in office workers or for a long Friday-Sunday weekend trip where I can stay with your pet the whole day. I am big into getting my 10K steps a day so I’d love to have a friend come along with me! Whether it’s a morning walk, a midday play session, or a relaxing evening cuddle, I’m home and available to give your pet the attention they deserve.

If there is anyone who likes to take photos of your pet more than you it is me. I LOVE to send updates throughout the day & frequently check in on the fun we’re having. I am a neat freak in my own home & I always strive to leave your home spotless and ready for you to come back!

Information Francesca M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog experiences any separation anxiety, and if so to what degree. While I do intend to stay with pets the entire duration I stay with them if I can help it- I do have to go into the office a few times a week. For Friday- Sunday stays this is not an issue. If dogs cannot be left alone for periods of 4 hours, I may not be the best match. 🥲 As a note: While I love chatty dogs, I do have to be mindful of my neighbors. I have gotten complaints in the past for particularly noisy stays and as such I no longer offer pet boarding.

A typical day

I am big into play, running and napping😴 While I may not be the best rug of war competitor (I try my best)- I meet pets where they’re at.

Raised in a 6-Dog Home

Pet care experience

I grew up in a lively household with 6 dogs and 3 cats, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the last 15 years, I’ve pet sat for nearly everyone in my life- friends, family, neighbors, you name it. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, medication for seniors, or playtime with energetic pups, I bring patience, attentiveness, and genuine love to every animal I care for. This path felt inevitable. So here I am

Francesca did an amazing job watching Rooster! She kept him busy all day playing and going on walks, he is now home tired!:) He has some seasonal allergies and anytime she noticed him itching, she put his cone on when necessary:) We will definitely book again!

Francesca was wonderful! She was very communicative and made it easy to leave Henry for the night. I highly recommend her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
