Caring with love and respect

Pet care experience

When I commit to your family with your fur babies, my time and care will be dedicated entirely to them bringing personalized attention, care and time, reducing the stress on parents and fur babies. A brief pet history. At home, we always have pets between dogs and cats, since a young age, my parent has teach us to treat our pets with respect and love. After I left my parents' house, it was difficult for me to have a pet due to work and living arrangements (not all places are pet friendly) which had me volunteering for local shelters such as PAWS, BSPCA Animal Welfare Center, Dogfather Animal Rescue, Rota Animal Welfare League – RAWL. As soon I was able to adopt, I got my boy a sweet tabby cat name Midori, and two years later, I got another tabby, Julie, they both are my life. Midori and Julie had been with me for over ten years, hoping for more.

Francis was amazing! During her wonderful stay with Chubbs, there were some parking problems and she was r a really great sport navigating the issue. She took care of our baby so well and sent photo updates and messages! She is a super caring person and easy to reach! If you’re considering Francis, choose her!

Francis is a gentle and patient person. On our Meet & Greet, our dog Farah--who is very nervous around new people--jumped at her and would have bit her during an evening walk, but she was muzzled. Nonetheless, Francis came for a second M&G inside the house, and with the offering of treats, Farah warmed to her very quickly. I also like the fact that Francis is in the military, as this makes me feel more confident leaving her lone in the house. She sent us photos and promptly reported on a minor issue during the evening. Highly recommend!

Information FRANCIS I. would like to know about your pet

I love to meet with the parents before starting to care of your fur babies. I believe is important to get to meet with parents to understand their house rules and their needs during their care.

A typical day

For dogs and puppies I love to take them on a healthy walk accordingly to their needs and limitations. Keep the active and healthy during their care. For cats love to stimulate their curiosity reducing their anxiety due to environmental change
