Pet care experience

Will care for your dog as if my own

I’ve been caring for dogs for over a decade, and for the past three years, my partner Mervin and I have been professionally dog sitting on Rover. We’ve had the pleasure of looking after dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, building wonderful relationships along the way. With one of us typically home, your dog will get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. As a student with a flexible schedule, I have lots of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, and personalized care. Living right across from a park makes daily outdoor adventures easy, and our pet-proof, clean apartment is a safe and welcoming space for your pup. Let us know if your dog has any special needs or preferences, and we’ll make sure they feel right at home with us.

Franchesca and Mervin took excellent care of our Cavapoo pup. They were attentive, kind, and excellent at communicating. Our pup came back happy and clearly well cared for. Will happily book with them again and highly recommend them!

Franchesca and Mervin took such good care of Waffles! We received photos and updates regularly and they sent her back to us freshly bathed and with treats! I highly recommend them.

Leaving my precious Tilly with an experienced caretaker like Franchesca is a treat. Tilly has the best time on walks and playing in the park while I have confidence that Tilly won’t be mad at me when I come back from being away at work.

“Excellent Care for Our Two Small Dogs — Highly Recommend!” We’ve been relying on Francesca and Mervin for years to care for our two small dogs, and we couldn’t be happier with the service they provide. They are loving, reliable, and always go the extra mile to make sure our pups feel safe and comfortable. From daily walks to overnight stays, we have complete peace of mind knowing that our dogs are in such capable and caring hands. If you’re looking for trustworthy, dedicated sitters, Francesca and Mervin are the best — we highly recommend them!
