Introduction
First of all I love animals. I have 19 years of experience taking care of other people's animals and a lifetime of taking care of my own. I have a senior dog and ten cats, many special needs. I'm patient with shy animals. I have lots of experience medicating, both pills and shots. I can give fluids. I can syringe feed. I know how to check blood glucose. I will spend time playing with your pet or if they are scared just sitting on the floor reading in a soft voice so they get used to me. I also have experience walking dogs, including large more difficult ones. I'm willing to accommodate your pet's routine so your time away is as stress free as possible for them.

My rabbit and two birds are my children. While I was fortunate to have had neighbors and friends pet-sit in the past—this time I didn’t. I interviewed several Thumbtack pet sitters and chose Francesca, because she radiated honesty and a genuine affinity for animals; she also asked the kinds of questions that only a responsible and motivated person would. She stayed at my home for nearly a week while I was away on business. The animals were happy, she kept my apartment tidy, it couldn’t have gone better—and birds are tough customers. I recommend Francesca without hesitation. She's lovely.

Francesca is absolutely one of the best people you could hire to take care of your pet. She was incredibly responsive from the very beginning and throughout, she came to visit my cat and discuss everything about my cat’s schedule for feeding, her personality, and the fact my cat is very timid and shy at first. Francesca was a not only very good with my cat, but earned her trust and took extremely good care of my cat and the place while I was thousands of miles away. She is a true gem and do not hesitate for one second on choosing her to care for your pet. I will continue to hire her whenever I go away and she is available. I came back to a clean place (just as I left it) and a cat that was extremely happy and well cared for more than 12 days! It really made me feel great having Francesca there. And she was amazing with a very socially timid cat.

Francesca knows a lot about pet care and put me at ease about her watching our cat. She also completely changed our litter box without asking which we greatly appreciated. She kept in touch and sent us photos while gone too.
