About Francis R.
Communication
Dog skills
Cat skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very responsible, patient, and kind with all animals. I understand that some pets may need more time or attention than others and I am willing to work to adjust my strategies depending on the individual animal.
Information Francis R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any specific needs or triggers. It also helps to know any commands they may know or are working on.
A typical day
On walks I like to let dogs sniff along the way, practice not pulling on the leash, and go to parks to run and play if they are good with other dogs/people. For cats, I cuddle or play with them during visits.

Experienced animal caretaker
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Francis (he/him). I've taken care of all kinds of pets since I was 15 years old. I've had cats my whole life and am very comfortable will all types, including skittish, disabled, and elderly cats. I also volunteered at an animal shelter with dogs for 3 years and was elevated to work with more reactive dogs, and have been dog walking since high school. I've owned and cared for other animals like rodents, birds, and reptiles as well. Hablo español!

Reviews


Francis was so attentive to our kitties. We thoroughly enjoyed his pictures and updates! He went above and beyond to take care of them too!! Thank you Francis!


Francis was great to work with, easy and good with the dogs. Would recommend!



Francis did a great job with our two dogs while we were away for our wedding day :) super communicative and everything went smoothly

Francis was a great help when we needed to find someone last minute to check-in on our rabbit, Max. They were very communicative and we felt at ease knowing Max was taken care of. Would highly recommend their services and will book again if the opportunity lines up!
