Pet care experience

Dogs are sensitive (And so am I)

I've always loved animals. I think I've had an animal that I at least helped to take care of everyday of my life. I've always been able to understand animals emotionally a lot better than people and have been comfortable around dogs of every breed, cats, lizards, fish, snakes, and any other animals that you can think of. I can't wait to see who your pet is, and make a new friend!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for your pet in whatever way that they need. I understand some animals need lots of physical affection and attention and others want to be left alone entirely. The scale ranges enormously so I won't press your dog to pay attention to me or leave me alone, depending on what they prefer. I find it best to let the animal lead the way in terms of how we communicate/interact (within reason of course)

Francine loved our kitties, even the one that's kind of a jerk. ;) She was super considerate about staying in our space while cat-sitting, and very communicative.

Schedule

My schedule is fairly open at the moment so I'm available for whatever you need, whenever you need. I also have a large van for Transportation for your baby (if necessary, or desired) so if they need to go to the vet, just want to go to the park, or meet up with a friend for a playdate, I've got it covered!

Francine can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
Im really interested in your pets mind. What they like, dont like, and how they feel about things . Do they need cuddles to feel safe when your gone? What does that make them uncomfortable? Or uneasy? It's also definitely important to know about any allergies, medications, routines, any behavioral issues, and of course their personality. Favorite toys, blankets, snacks, places to visit, and excersize habits would also be good to know.
