About Francesca
Hi!
I am Francesca from Italy, I am 32 years old and I work as a Data Scientist in Utrecht. I have to go to the office 2 times a week and my work is pretty flexible, so I am generally available when I am in town, as long as we don't live too far away from each other :)
I have always loved animals and I have always had pets since I was a kid (lots of cats, some birds and fish) and now that I live abroad I really miss having them around, so I decided to work as a pet sitter!
I am very experienced with cats because I have had a lot of cats of different kinds, but I also love dogs and know how to take care of them. I am the kind of friend that typically gets asked to look over pets when the owners are on holiday, which means that through the years I have had my fair share of dog sitting too, both with trained and untrained doggos.
Taking care of your pets and spending some quality time with them would really make my day!
SERVICES I OFFER:
- Dog Walking: I will walk your pups according to their usual schedule.
I don't do dog walking for dogs that live more than 15 minutes away from where I live anymore, after doing it a few times I realized that it's not worth the hassle, sorry! If you live in Nieuwegein, Overvecht, Zuilen, or further away, that would be too far for me.
- Home visits: I will visit for at least 30 minutes and send you updates. I will happily help with watering plants, picking up mail, and anything house-related if needed. It can even be more than twice a day, depending on your pet's (and my) schedule. I don't do home visits outside of Utrecht city or in neighborhoods like Zuilen, Leidsche Rijn, etc. for essentially the same reasons why I don't do dog walks too far from where I live anymore.
- House sitting: I will take care of your pets and your place and spend the night in.
- Unfortunately I am not allowed to keep pets in my apartment, so I can't host your pets, but I can always come for visits or to stay the night if that suits you :)
