Pasadena-area dog walker/sitter

Pet care experience

Hello! I've been taking care of dogs (and all kinds of animals!) for practically my whole life. I'm passionate about dog training, safety, and making sure that all dogs get to have a full and happy life. My experience is primarily with large and medium breeds, and I've rescued and rehabilitated a fantastic bully mix. My childhood dog was a Westie/Bichon mix and the cutest dog in the world, and I grew up taking care of two labs (Woody and Scout), a golden retriever (Shadow), and a dalmatian (Missy) who were all terrific dogs I always loved getting to look after. I volunteer with a rescue based in Pasadena and am CPR certified. I'm very experienced at working with dogs of all sizes, ages, and dispositions, and am comfortable dealing with leash reactivity and/or high prey drive. If you have an active dog, I can provide hikes or runs. If you would like to have me care for your dog, please get in touch!

5 Stars for Francesca, she has taken care of my 2 cats for over two years. Francesca is always dependable, spends quality time with Oliver & Cole, and sends me great pics & summary of her visits. My cats simply adore her, she is a fantastic sitter.

Information Francesca W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know general temperament, energy level, any allergies or relevant medical conditions, and any issues of leash reactivity or guarding so I can plan the best and safest routes for us. I like to be prepared! **Please read! I'm happy to provide house sitting services, but because I have my own dog I will be unable to spend the night. Frequency of visits, walks, and other house-care tasks you might need (bringing in mail, newspaper, etc) can be set up during the meet and greet. Thanks!

A typical day

Walk routes are usually neighborhood based, and I'm happy to share them! Local hiking trails are always fun for high energy dogs. Am happy to play fetch or tug of war, or take them to a local park to play in an enclosed space.
