Highlights
Pet care experience
reliable & experienced dog lover
Hey, I’m Frances, a York/Selby local! I’ve grown up having many pets – dogs, birds and guinea pigs. ☀️ Being around animals has always felt natural to me. Throughout my life, I’ve lived in a home that has always had dogs, including many Boxers, so my love for dogs grew from there. We adopted Isla, a 10-year-old White Boxer, who still has lots of energy! She’s a strong, energetic girl who requires longer walks and a solid routine, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs with plenty of energy and personality. I’m the main person who will be caring for your dog, and I’ll sometimes be accompanied by my partner, Charlie. Charlie has also grown up around dogs and has lots of experience with them. He’s naturally very good with animals and, like me, absolutely loves getting out for long walks. We both enjoy quiet, chilled weekends and spending time outdoors, so having a dog to join us on walks and relax with is something we genuinely love. 🐾 Clear communication is really important to me. I’ll always respect your instructions around training, routines and care, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and little check-ins so you know your dog is happy and settled. 🐶

Safety, trust & environment
I’m happy to care for dogs in their own home and will always make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well looked after. I love taking dogs on walks and exploring different routes, parks and green spaces so they can get plenty of exercise and enjoy lots of new smells. I’ll follow their usual routine, give them plenty of attention and make sure they’re happy and settled before I leave.
Ratings and reviews
Frances was absolutely amazing with my dog while she was dog sitting him! He’s normally very shy and takes a while to warm up to people, but he absolutely loved Frances and was so comfortable around her. It was such a relief knowing he was in such caring and safe hands. I honestly couldn’t recommend Frances enough and would definitely trust her with my dog again!
Frances has been taking care of my cat for the last year or so. When I’ve been away with work, she has been amazing with my cat Doug. When I informed her about how Doug can be with new people around she was understanding and went in with caution. Within the first 3 sessions with Frances, Doug had come out of his shell relatively quickly. I cannot recommend her enough. 5/5 ⭐️
France’s was amazing with my two dogs, very calm and caring. She took them on some really lovely walks and updated me with photos. She was very polite and professional. I wouldn’t have any hesitation in recommending her.
