Pet care experience
Hi there, my name is Molly and I can't wait to meet you and your dog. I've been a dog owner my whole life. From Labs to Pitties to Dachshunds, I adore all shapes and sizes. I currently have a Wirehair Dachshund named Winston who is the center of my world (you understand what I'm talking about!). I'm proud and excited to say that I am enrolled in Animal Behavior College's Dog Obedience Program and will be a Certified Trainer this fall. I am also certified in pet CPR and First Aid. I know how to read dog body language and can assess if they're feeling comfortable or uncomfortable. I've been a member of Angel City Pit Bull Animal Rescue here in Los Angeles since 2013 and continue to assist in activities such as foster-dog pack hikes, adoptions, fundraising events, daily visits and foster-dog transportation and care. I love working with these animals and watching them go from frightened shelter pets to happy beings that have found their forever homes. I wear my heart on my sleeve and have a lot of love to give for both animals and humans alike! I know how much pets mean to their families and have the utmost respect for the tender love and care, and the relationship you have with your pets. That's why I'm happy to help you while you are on vacation or just at work and would like your furry friend to have a visitor a few times a day. Nothing is too odd over the top, I'm here and happy to help. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! Let's set up a meet and greet!
Reviews
Molly recently stayed at our apartment with our two pretty active dogs, one of whom has some special eating and medicine requirements, which she managed just perfectly well. Not only did the dogs love her, but she communicated well with us during our trip and made us feel very comfortable leaving them in her hands. This was the first time we've had anyone stay at our home with the dogs (rather than boarding them) and we really appreciated that Molly was able to keep them to their own schedule! We came back to happy, healthy (and tired) dogs, and a perfectly clean apartment. We had a great experience with Molly and will definitely be using her again!
Molly is my go to sitter. This was her first time sitting for our new (second) dog, who is very weary of strangers and a shy guy overall. Jasper LOVES Molly (I mean, who cannot?) and I am so relieved that we have someone to watch him while we travel. Makes life much easier for us. Five stars, as always!
Molly is the biggest DOG LOVER I've ever met... she very often has her own doggie entourage! Molly has taken care of my dog (a large great dane/black lab mix) many times, and is always my first choice of dog sitters. She shows my dog the same love and care that she give her own terrier mix, Winston. I've also seen Molly with other dogs in her care on many occasions, and she treats every dog as if they are her own. I think Molly sees dogs as tiny people, and after seeing how they all respond to her, I'm beginning to think she may be right. If you want your dog to be loved, as well as cared for, then Molly is your girl. As long as she is still always available for my dog ;)
I have a hard time leaving my pups with anyone when I go away but Molly has made me feel at ease each and every time by sending frequent updates and photos. Our pups love when she comes to stay because they get to go on fun trips to the dog beach and on hikes. She always leaves our home spotless and you can tell the boys had a good time and were well taken care of because they don't have the high anxiety we used to see when taking them to a boarding facility. I would highly recommend Molly to other dog owners. You won't be disappointed!

Information Molly F. would like to know about your pet
I've found it's always good to know allergies (food, environmental, medications in case of emergencies etc), things that scare or overwhelm the pet, things that have made the pet aggressive, and what are the favorite toys and relaxing activities.
A typical day
I like to head towards the nearest park. Even if there are leash and/or dog restrictions, there are always plenty of fun smells around the perimeter and the sniffing is a natural action and calming behavior for all dogs. Let me know what your dog's schedule is like so I can stick to it and keep them comfortable.
