Licensed Veterinary Technician
Pet care experience
Hi there! I am a licensed veterinary technician and a sub permitted wildlife rehabilitator with 10+ years experience and a lot of love to give to your furry friends. I have experience with dogs, cats, fish, chickens, horses, goats, lizards, rodents & rabbits. I am currently employed by a local veterinarian. Previously I worked in Ohio at a mixed & exotic animal practice & did doggie daycare or in home overnights for several years. I graduated college with an animal science & veterinary technology degree in 2010 but worked with various groomers & veterinary hospitals before & through my schooling. I own a farm in Jacksonville where I care for 70+ chickens, 2 small dogs, 1 big dog, a couple cats, lots chickens & goats and occasionally wildlife in my animal hospital in a separated room of my house . In the past I've owned and cared for horses, goats & reptiles. I enjoy working with all animals & am not limited to ONLY dogs & cats. I am trained in caring for the young & old, so medicating animals is not a problem. Since I work at a local veterinary clinic it will be easy for me to handle any emergency situations that might arise during your pets stay with me. I am open to care any type of animal and look forward to meeting you and them! **Please remember to bring your pets' food & crates if they use them for sleep I work during the day at a vet clinic. I generally get up around 5am for feeding and playtime outside. During the day I have a doggy door for everyone to go in & out as they please. I get home a little after 5:30 for feeding and more play time. Most pets prefer to sleep inside but if they want to go outside they can. Because of my work schedule drop off and pick ups will need to be before 6:45am and after 5:30pm I have a fenced in back yard and a doggy door for easy in & outs. I use baby gates inside as needed for separate feedings. My pets are super friendly and get along with everyone!
Reviews
Did a wonder job and sent photos and updates regularly
Frankie always takes great care of our pets. They enjoy being able to go in and out of the house as they like throughout the day. They are always worn out when they come back from her house.
Sweet lady but my pup came back super dirty and stinky. Also came back with runny poop as if she ate something other than the food I sent. Also had to ask for updates on my pup instead of just receiving pics and videos like the last lady I used. I will just make that long drive to the previous sitter next time. Once again super sweet lady but I will not use again.
My dog had a great time. There were lots of other dogs for him to play and hang out with. Frankie was easy to get in contact with and kept me updated throughout the week.

Information Frankie B. would like to know about your pet
Do they get along with other dogs/pets? I have 3 dogs who get along with everything & love to play chase & fetch. I also have a couple that stays in my bedroom most of the time. On some occasions when doing home visits, I may ask if I can stay at the house the day to save myself from driving back & forth. I can usually entertain myself by watching TV and using my computer. When boarding it is important that you provide your pets normal feed & the crate or bed they sleep on.
A typical day
I enjoy geocaching, which is like high tech hide & seek. It involves hiking most of the time & is easily combined with dog walking. I have a 9 acre farm with chickens, goats and 3 dogs of my own who love to play fetch in my fenced in back yard. My home has a large doggie door that opens into the back yard. My dogs are crated at night and my chickens roost in their coop at night. All the neighbors have fenced in yards where their dogs are safely kept.
