Pet care experience

LA COUNTY ANIMAL SHELTER VOLUNTEER

I grew up with dogs, and watching them grow from puppies into seniors has been one of the greatest joys of my life. Helping my pets transition from this life has given me the skills to administer medication and subcutaneous fluids, and deepened my knowledge of senior care, not just in pets but in people as well. Since moving to LA from NYC, I immediately started fostering with ACE of Hearts, caring for dogs (from puppies to seniors) until they found their forever homes. When I became busier with work, I shifted to volunteering at Downey Animal Care Center. I hope to always work with animals, and my dream is to open a shelter in Puerto Rico for the satos.

Francis is a kind, loving, caring, responsible pet mom. She has a natural way with animals—dogs and cats, young and old. I know her and have experienced her to be truly passionate about giving animals the best care possible and I would not hesitate to put her on the top of my list for people I would recommend to take care of my pets. She's very communicative, active, and reliable. She follows instructions, is respectful, and can be flexible around others needs. I've seen her around animals and I can tell they love being around her as much as she loves being around them.

Francis is a pet's best friend! She is incredibly caring about her own cat and extends the same care and love to the pets she looks after! She's the first person friends and family reach out to when they are looking for someone to help take care of a pet or keep an eye on them while they're gone. No matter where I've been with her, if there's an animal, she's going to respectfully make their acquaintance and can likely guess the breed! With plenty of experience with her own family's dogs and years of shelter experience; I've seen her deal with all types and always come out with a new friend! Four legged, Two winged, or anything in between she understands their quirks and habits while listening to the instructions provided to make sure they are getting the same level of care and treatment they are used to without getting too spoiled while their Pawrents are away. I'd go with Francis in a heartbeat when it comes to making sure my little one is looked after. She cares so deeply about pets that I'm sure she won't disappoint because she sees them as creatures worthy of the same respect we give to each other (if not more!).

Schedule

I'm a writer, writer's assistant, script coordinator and writers' PA in Hollywood, but since the strike in 2023, there's been a significant contraction in the industry. Typically, I'd spend my time on hiatus writing and fostering dogs, but now that I have more time on my hands, I'm excited to shift my focus to animals on a more full-time basis. Since I do freelance from home, I'm almost always home and happy to spend it in good company—with your pet!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly building and have a cat who loves small and mid-sized dogs (the bigger ones take some warming up, but he always gets along with them if they're chill—see photos (he's the tuxy)). Since I work from home, I can give your pet my full attention, and I live in a very pet-friendly, walkable neighborhood with plenty of good sniffing spots. I'm comfortable caring for puppies and senior pets and can even train your dog to sit, paw, lie down, roll over and speak!
