All Sorts of Pets Care

The very best pet sitter. Responsive, responsible and reliable. Francesca has been watching our cats and chickens (and fish) for a few years and we are so pleased. We have had a couple of issues of our cat being sick or problems with the alarm and in each instance, she was on top of it immediately. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Francesca is so sweet with my cats. She is a great communicator and sends pictures while I’m gone. One of my cats has a medical issue and she is able to administer medication without any problems. I feel very comfortable leaving my fur babies with Francesca when I’m gone.

Francesca was amazing, and took such great care of our two cats while we were away on vacation. She sent me daily pictures of our cats, and you can really tell she is a true animal lover. The whole process from start to end put us at ease. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pets, we highly recommend Francesca!

I’m a dog trainer and own a pet services company… I know good pet care and animal skills, and I’m picky! We have three challenging rescue dogs who need care when we manage to get away. Our pet sitting needs are heavy — multiple visits per day — so we need more than one person. We recently asked Francesca to join our «dream team» of pet sitters, and we’ve been absolutely thrilled with her! She clearly loves animals, does whatever it takes to care for them, and has an incredible attitude. She truly lives up to being part of a dream team! Thank you, Francesca!!!

Francesca has been taking care of our cats for several years now, and we always know we are leaving them in good hands. Our cats are very elderly and while doing well for their ages we worry that something will come up while we are away trying to relax on vacation — but with Francesca looking after them we can relax. Francesca is a pro at giving meds, trained in animal CPR, and very observant and diligent about care. Our cats love her, too!

It’s been a while since I reviewed Francesca… But I just returned from a trip and she once again went out of her way to take EXCEPTIONAL care of my kids.

Francesca really helped us out in our time of need. I was recovering from surgery and unable to walk our dog. This had to be done 7 days a week at a consistent time for a month and a half. Francesca was there, rain or shine, without fail. She has a wonderful and friendly personality and our dog loved her. She genuinely loved our dog, who looked forward to seeing her each day.
I am very satisfied with Francesca’s pet care and enjoyed dealing with her.

I already wrote a review a couple of months ago but wanted to add additional information after our Christmas vacation time. In addition to our indoor cats, we have 2 outdoor cats that are also cared for by Francesca. One of them, Inky, was lethargic and not hungry one of the mornings Francesca came for her visit. She immediately contacted me and spent much time trying various things to see if it might help. That evening (Christmas night), Francesca had a couple of extra hours between appointments so instead of going to her own home, she stayed at our house to hang out with Inky – warming beds, trying to stimulate his appetite with warm food, and being in contact with me. She offered to take him to the emergency but he seemed to be a bit better. Over the next day, Inky improved and Francesca kept me updated. She thought he might have a bad tooth based on how he was eating. We came home off to the vet that same day. Inky had a tooth extraction and the vet thought maybe he had had a mild pancreatitis. Inky is back to his wonderful self and I am so thankful Francesca was observant to recognize he wasn’t feeling well and was there to help him through. She put his care on Christmas night above her own free time.

Francesca is a super reliable and wonderful dog walker. Our Boston Terrier is shy around people, but she LOVES Francesca, wagging her butt frantically and snorting when Francesca enters our apartment. And she notices and reports potential health issues or problems, like a rash on my dog’s chin or snout or changes in her bowel or bladder habits. Francesca is super proactive, reaching out to us before major holidays to verify whether we need coverage. And she willingly handles last-​minute requests, e.g., when I’m stuck at work and will get home later than usual.

I’d like to recommend our conscientious, caring pet-​sitter, Francesca Lord, to anyone who needs help with pets. She’s looked after our birds and beasts for a year and a half of frequent business trips, often a couple of times a month.
Francesca takes meticulous care of our three cats (each with different, complicated dietary needs) and our flock of hens. She emails us while we are away with updates on their status. On occasion she has come up with good ideas about feeding, medicating, and logistics, because she is an excellent observer. We never have to worry that our pets won’t get the care and supervision they need. She is intelligent, personable, and highly professional; her rates are reasonable; and she’s completely trustworthy. Absolutely the best!

For years, I had boarded my dogs at the vets. When I got a puppy who was too young for boarding, I immediately contacted Francesca. I was so pleased with how happy our dogs were, now I wouldnt think of using anyone but her. she even house sits when it works with her schedule which is perfect for our attention craving dog. Each evening when I am away she sends a text message letting me know how things are going. When I first started using her pet sitting services, she had her hands full with our puppy and geriatric dog who required medication. Her compassion shows and I could tell she was just as upset as we were when our older dog passed away in her sleep many months later. I highly recommend her services, she’s licensed (and many providers are not), professional and reliable. I feel so lucky to have found her.

Francesca is great! Our pets (dogs, cats, and fish) are part of our family for us and we are very picky on whom we have looking after them when we are away. Francesca, who we feel like she is also part of our family, has been outstanding. She has always been there for us and have been extremely reliable. Francesca is the only pet sitter that we can count on for worry-​free trips. She is wonderful with both pets and people. Our pets love her! Even our cat who doesn’t warm up to just anyone loves Francesca.

Francesca is an outstanding and caring pet sitter. She has been taking care of our two cats when we travel for several years. She made a great effort to get to know one of the cats, who used to hide under the bed when a pet sitter came in, and now they’re good friends. She always emails or texts us when she visits, sometimes sending pictures of the cats. She’s very knowledgeable about pet care and has given us lots of good advice. She’s also good with giving medication, and even came to our house to give us a lesson on how to give pills to the cats. Francesca is extremely responsible and I definitely trust her with our cats and our house. I recommend her very highly.

Francesca is the absolute best. She takes care of our cats when we are gone and has always done a fabulous job. She is extremely wise in the ways of pet health. I trust her completely.

Francesca is and has been a life saver for us. She has taken our dog to the vet when we can’t, spent the night, taken care of our dog like he belongs to her and has generally been involved with our lives since our kids were born (and our dog became a second class citizen). She is warm and caring and probably takes better care of our dog then we do. We are moving out of the area and if we could take her with us we would. Her attention to detail, her kindness and her professionalism is rare to find. She is someone who cares so much about pets AND people.

I have to update my review… while we were recently away, our dog became ill. Francesca not only cleaned up the mess, went to the store at 4 am to buy (and then cook) chicken and rice. She ended up taking him to the emergency vet a couple days later in the middle of the the night, and then to our vet during business hours… and then cleaned up more mess! Of course, we hightailed it home, and she has been calling daily to see how the dog is doing. I am so thankful Francesca was here to handle it all until we got home!

We’ve been so fortunate to have Francesca serving as our very energetic dog’s «personal trainer» for years now. She’s reliable, a great communicator, and scrupulous about ensuring Harper’s safety. He’s always clearly delighted to see her. As a bonus, Francesca’s rates are reasonable and she’s gracious and accommodating about special requests and schedule changes.
