Loving Pet Care

If you need caring, compassionate, reliable, loving service for your furry sweethearts I am available to make them the center of attention. With me they get a bit of a holiday themselves. My work takes me oceanside for extended periods: so when I’m available to house/pet sit for you, I am devoted to all their needs. Presently I am auntie to several cats and dogs that for more than a decade I have been house/pet sitting. I have also cared for horses, goats, chickens, geese and peacocks. I love learning animal’s individual personalities and ingratiating myself in to their familial pack.

This is my first time using Rover. I definitely picked the right person to stay with my boy! He doesn’t warm up to just anybody. But he certainly warmed up to Frankie after his initial barking at a stranger! Frankie definitely is in your home for one thing, taking care of all your dog’s needs! She walked him several times a day. And took care of any other needs. She sent a daily report with pics. My house was just like I left it, she even washed the sheets she slept on! I would definitely book Frankie again!

Frankie is the best Pet sitter we have ever had. On a scale of 1 to 10, definitely a 10+. Frankie is punctual, friendly, loves animals, and goes above and beyond to make sure you and your pets are happy. We look forward to utilizing Frankie's pet services again. We highly recommend her. 😊

Seriously, having Frankie as my dog sitter is a lifesaver for my furry friend. It's like they have a special connection, and my dog absolutely adores her. I always feel so reassured knowing my dog is in such good hands. It's a huge relief to find someone so reliable and caring. Honestly, it's one less thing to worry about. Thanks a bunch Frankie you are the best😁🐕

Schedule

In my life I have owned a German Shepherd, a Malinois and a Husky as well as numerous cats. I grew up walking the dog, so I prefer to exercise the canines regularly. Playtime for everyone will include some brushing. I have no problems giving oral medications or injections. And I have cared for sick animals of my own as well as others.

0 to 15 lbs

Frankie can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
I feel you can never tell me enough about your baby[s]. Stories are a window not only in to their personalities, but also about their history: both emotionally and physically. Obviously give me their feeding preferences, habits, schedules and medication dosages. It's much better I know their delights, anxieties: good and bad behavior they typically show before hand. I truly love connecting with each animal on their terms: and since I lack their olfactory advantage I appreciate you giving me all the insights you can.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
