Pet care experience
I’ve looked after my friend’s dog in his old age when he needed care and was on special diet and medication. Also Been dog sitting and tending to my ‘dogson’ since a puppy either for the odd days, weekends, or a week, and was trusted by his parents to implement on my own the rules from his puppy training. Gave him his first bath which I’m told created our special bond from the beginning. I have a natural affection for dogs and can ‘talk’ to them and gain their trust fairly quickly. I work part time from home and I am flexible. Can take breaks outside when needed to many green spaces around the apartment. Available Weekdays and some weekends. Light-filled dog-friendly apartment for roaming around and also for relaxing. Will have its own bed (and blanket for sofa if allowed on) for the dog to relax I’m working part time from home and have time for outdoor toilet breaks as needed and fun in the local parks as I can manage my own time. Dog friendly apartment with plenty of light, space to rest (heated floor) for the dog bed or on special blanket for the sofa or ottoman. Will keep objects or food for temptation out of reach
Reviews
I cannot recommend Fabrice highly enough. I have a Staffordshire Bull Terrier called Charlie who, other than being my only 'child', is high-energy and requires lots of attention. Fabrice has known him since I got him at 11 weeks and has been looking after him from that date onwards. Fabrice is kind and loving and always thinks of Charlie's needs. His patience was also proven to be exemplary when he took care of Charlie at only 12 weeks old and he decided to use his lovely rug as a toilet ! I felt terrible, but Fabrice was calm and understanding, and could only talk about what a good time they had had together. He even managed to rescue the rug. Whether it be for a week or an afternoon, Charlie always returns from his visits with a smile and in very good condition. Fabrice has upheld all the training ethics we have and his behaviour therefore never changes (unlike when he visits others who might disregard the usual rules). He also obliges any dietary requirements Charlie may have at that time, and understands generally the appropriate nutrition for dogs. I also get little updates and love to see the fun times they have together. Fabrice is thoughtful, caring and fun. His deep love of dogs shines through when you see them together and Charlie couldn't be luckier to have him in his life.
I have known Fabrice since Ben, our border terrier, joined our family in 2000 Fabrice was tutoring my family in French and Ben quickly learned that, although he would not learn French, he would still have a happy time with Fabrice. Over the years Fabrice looked after Ben in London and Paris, house sitting for us at the same time. I cannot recommend Fabrice highly enough. He is very professional in anything he does. He is always on time, is totally trustworthy and loves dogs. He has patience, kindness, and a good imagination so dog walking with Fabrice would not be mechanical plodding along, but an adventure. Ben, who lived to be 16, would have recommended Fabrice too.

Information Fabrice B. would like to know about your pet
As much information as possible would be ideal. Not only the breed, size, age but also their dietary requirements, needs for exercise (or rest), behaviour with other dogs or humans, things to avoid etc
A typical day
Always happy to entertain the dogs with its toys at home and stimulate them as much as allowing them to sit next to me whilst I work and they want to rest. Equally keen to go out to the local parks to let them run around and play with their balls and toys (I’m pretty good at throwing balls very far!) as well as interact with other dogs (though keeping a careful eye on him/her) and allow them to sniff around at their leisure. And making sure they keep hydrated throughout and fed according to their needs
