I work from home, which means your pup will enjoy plenty of companionship, attention, and supervised time throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of love. Like any family, I occasionally step out for errands or appointments. If your dog experiences separation anxiety or isn’t comfortable being left alone for short periods, I kindly ask that you provide a crate or let me know their specific needs in advance so we can ensure they stay safe and comfortable while I’m away. My goal is to make every pet feel at home while giving owners complete peace of mind.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I care for both dogs and cats, and I treat every furry guest like a member of my own family. For dogs staying in my home, I provide frequent, structured potty breaks and exercise throughout the day. Since I don’t have a fenced backyard, dogs are taken on regular walks every 2–3 hours and again about 40 minutes after meals to keep them comfortable, active, and on a healthy routine. My home has an open-concept layout, and all pets remain safely on the downstairs level with a baby gate blocking access to the stairs, creating a secure environment where they can relax and play under supervision. For cats, I provide a calm, low-stress environment that respects their unique personalities and routines. Whether they’re playful or prefer their own space, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving them the attention they need on their terms. For dog walks and drop-in visits, I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, relaxed pet—and to have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

Information Francesca S. would like to know about your pet

Before Your Pet’s Stay 🐾 To make sure your furry family member has the best experience possible, please let me know: * Does your pet have any allergies or dietary restrictions? * Are they taking any medications or supplements? If so, what are the instructions? * Are they friendly with other dogs, cats, and children? * Have they ever shown signs of aggression, resource guarding, or separation anxiety? * Are they crate trained or comfortable being left alone briefly while I run essential errands? * Are they fully potty trained? * Do they have any fears or triggers (thunder, fireworks, loud noises, etc.)? * What is their normal feeding schedule and daily routine? * Has your pet ever escaped from a leash, harness, crate, fenced yard, or home? * Is there anything else I should know to help them feel safe, comfortable, and happy? What to Bring: I keep extra food and water bowls, as well as spare leashes and harnesses, so you’re welcome to use mine if it’s more convenient. I do ask that you provide your pet’s own food, treats, medications (if needed), bedding or blanket, crate (if needed) and any favorite comfort items to help them feel right at home during their stay.

A typical day

Every day starts with morning potty breaks or walks, followed by scheduled feedings and plenty of one-on-one attention. Throughout the day, dogs enjoy regular walks every 2–3 hours, playtime, enrichment, belly rubs, and lots of affection. I also take them out again after meals to keep them comfortable and on their normal routine. For my feline guests, I provide meals on schedule, fresh water, daily litter box cleaning, and a calm, stress-free environment. Whether your cat loves to play or prefers quiet companionship, I respect their personality and let them set the pace. One thing you can count on is communication! I love sending photo and video updates so you can see how much fun your pet is having. In fact, the only complaint I’ve ever heard is that I send too many cute pictures—so just let me know if you’d like me to slow down! My goal is for you to feel connected and reassured while your furry family member is in my care.

Every Dog Gets VIP Care 💜🐾

Pet care experience

🐾 Your dog will be treated like family from the moment they arrive. I know how hard it is to leave your furry best friend with someone else, which is why I make it my mission to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment where they feel right at home. I’ve spent over 20 years caring for dogs of all personalities and sizes, and I genuinely love every minute of it. Whether your pup enjoys playing fetch, going for walks, exploring the yard, or getting plenty of belly rubs and attention, I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and cared for throughout their stay. You’ll receive regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is in great hands. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I’d love to meet you and your four-legged family member, send me a message and let’s see if we’re the perfect match!

Francesca treated my fur baby as a part of her family. I could tell from all the photos that he was having the time of his life.

Emma was taken care of very well, seeing pictures of her in the park was great. I highly recommend Francesca.

Francesca, was amazing with our high energy Malinois. We boarded our boy for 3 days. She sent tons of photos and videos, took him on several walks, and was genuinely interested in ensuring he was well taken care of. Book with confidence!

Francesca did a great job watching Emma, and gave updates for the hurricane that passed close. Francesca has done a great job every time, and I am already booking for the next trip .
