Happy pet, happy life

Pet care experience

Animal lover that grew up with two dachshunds (Otto & Blume), an Irish Setter (Mac), and a Gordon Setter (Maisie). My partner and I frequently petsit and have taken care of many friends' and strangers' animals in the past. Your loved one will be in great hands!

Francesca is a sweet, very accommodating, fantastic sitter! My dog Loulou had the best time in her good hands! She shared with me a number of photos, which showed me how my girl was totally relaxed and happy with her and her boyfriend. I felt safe and my dog felt the same, and I would certainly book her again!

Francesca is an AMAZING dog sitter. Our flight back was canceled twice and Francesca was able to accommodate staying two extra days — it was a stressful trip and we were so grateful our baby boy was in such great hands. She communicated with us throughout the trip and sent many photos. We feel so grateful to have found such a lovely dog sitter — Francesca is on "speed dial" for our next getaway!

Francesca was super welcoming and flexible with my schedule! I was very nervous about leaving my furry baby with a stranger for the first time ever, but I am now confident in the care she receives with Francesca.

Information Francesca S. would like to know about your pet

Please review and answer questions these prior to me accepting boarding requests to save us both time and make sure there are no issues during your pet’s stay: 1. Any allergies, injuries, or health conditions I should be aware of? If so, how are you currently treating? Please provide emergency contact and pet hospital information in your profile. 2. What are their favorite games, toys, + entertainment? 3. Are my own treats allowed? If not, can provide the specific treats they like/ can eat? 4.

Any behavioral issues I should know of (i.e. worrisome interactions with humans or other animals)? 7. Do they have separation anxiety? How long can they stay by themselves? If they do have anxiety, how do you deal with it? 8. Are they fully vaccinated, ok with staying with other animals, and able to go to the dog park? 9. Are they potty-trained? Do they have accidents at home? What is their pee/ poo schedule? 10. Do they bark/ are they noisy? (i.e. do i need to warn my neighbors…) 11. Do they go through the trash, chew on household items, steal food, try to escape, or dig holes? 12.

A typical day

I’ll make sure there are lots of walks and playtime throughout the day! Please make sure them come with all supplies and please let me know if they are ok with all other animals. They should be tired at the end of the day :)
