Highlights
Pet care experience
Conscientious, genuine, trustworthy animal lover!
My main aim when caring for an animal in any capacity is to make them feel loved, comfortable and safe. I believe a genuine relationship (with both pets and their owners!) is vital to encourage trust and harmony and I will always put the wellbeing of each animal at the top of my list. I have walked, sat and cared for dogs and cats for many years now, covering a huge range of breeds, ages, sizes and temperaments. I also volunteered at my local RSPCA shelter for some time. I am in the very lucky position to be incredibly flexible with regards to days and times that suit the need of the owner, whether that be for walking, sitting or drop-in visits.

Thank you for looking after Reggie at such short notice. He had a lovely time
Nala had a great time again, she looked very happy in the pictures. Frances made her feel very at home, thankyou!
Fran and Darren are a really lovely couple who Toby loved being with - Toby is quite an anxious dog but he took to them immediately, I would highly recommend! Thank you Fran and Darren! 🐶
Thank you so much to Frances and her husband for looking after Sticky, we could tell he felt right at home and was so well cared for 😊 They were very accommodating considering he can be a very excitable and vocal dog! Sticky would love to see you both again 🐾🐕
Frances looked after Mowgli beautifully and he was keen to go back for a second day. Clear communication too, thank you!
Thankyou very much to Frances and Darren for looking after Nala so well. She definately enjoyed herself! We got some lovely updates of Nala, pictures and videos of her fast asleep, chilling in the garden and learning a new trick which really put our mind at ease. She almost looked like she didn't want to come home!! I would definately recommend Frances and I'm sure Nala would love to go back for more fun! Thankyou again xx

Schedule
I am luckily very flexible with regards to scheduling and can be home - or out and about - whenever and wherever I am needed. This means that fortunately I can very much work around you busy pet owners! I am free mornings, afternoons or evenings, weekdays and weekends - just let me know what suits you. :)

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I believe that the key to an effective relationship with both pets and their owners is honesty, trust and integrity. I will always endeavour to put yours and your fur baby’s needs first and create a warm, loving and safe environment to make them feel as comfortable as possible during their time with me. I believe in creating a ‘home from home’ experience by recreating as much of their usual routine as possible, whether that be through sitting within my own home, walking, or dropping in to visit where they live. I currently do not have any dogs or cats within my home and so can easily accommodate shy or nervous pets who sometimes struggle with sharing their space with others; however, I am just as happy to accommodate mixed groups at one time for those sociable furries who prefer the company of others, where all owners are amenable. :)
A typical day
I aim to simulate a ‘home from home’ experience when blessed with the company of your little paws, and will spend the day doing whatever they love the most. From snuggles on the sofa to playing games in the garden (throwing a ball, tuggy rope - whatever makes them happy) to long (or short!) walks through the park or on the beach - I completely adapt and tailor my day to your pet’s needs and wants.
