Your dog will be my best friend!

Pet care experience

I’ll probably be more excited to hang out with your dog than they are! I have over 7 years of pet-sitting experience with animals and breeds of all kinds, but predominantly dogs. I’ve also worked at a pet hotel in the day care center, and have supervised 30-40 dogs at once. Currently I have a 60 lb, 2 year old Samoyed named Koda who’s incredibly excited and full of personality! We definitely appreciate having buddies for him to play with :) **NOTE: At this time we can only accept gentle, leash-trained larger breeds as a safety precaution. I live with my mom who is retired and appreciates the company of dogs just as much as I do, but unfortunately cannot handle strong pullers. Small & medium breeds are welcome! Your dog will never feel neglected or bored with me as their caregiver. I'm flexible with rates and scheduling as well as assist with other special requests you may need if you are gone (cleaning the house, for example). There is always at least one of us home! The best way to reach me is email or phone, either calling or texting. I usually reply to everyone within a few minutes or no longer than a few hours.

Thank you to Francesca and Auntie Mary Ann for being so kind and loving to Milo! We did a meet and greet prior to daycare just to make sure he would get along with their dog Koda. It’s best to say that Milo adjusted well to his size on the day of his daycare! I couldn’t be happier! Photos were so adorable! I can’t wait to book Milo with them again!

Francesca was a very sweet person and cares about the dogs she watches! My dog came back clean and happy. I would definitely book with her again!

Francesca was a great boarder for our dog Milo! She quickly learned his personality traits and made him feel at home. She regularly updated us and took him to the park. Also she’s just a warm person, the day after the meet and greet when we dropped Milo off he spotted her and ran up to her tail wagging. If someone can make an impression like that after a quick introduction you know they’re a great dog person. Thanks Francesca, will definitely board Milo again next time we travel!

Francesca was super responsive when I needed a last minute place for Perry because another caretaker cancelled. She sent photos and a video of my dog playing with hers. When we picked Perry up, she watched Francesca and her mom walk away like she was sad to see them go.

Information Francesca M. would like to know about your pet

We please ask that your pet is up-to-date on shots and be notified upfront have any health conditions/allergies, fears, a violent history, and behavioral issues with other people and animals.

A typical day

I'm a very outdoorsy person; I live next to a large open park and a river so your dog can go on jogs with me or take a dip in the water, and occasionally go for hikes for longer, more extensive fun and exercise for your dog. For more relaxed days I'm happy to take dogs along for errands (where they're allowed) or settle in and watch a movie.
