Academic dog sitting is pure blessing

Pet care experience

As an academic lecturer, most of my work is carried out from my home. I am a passionate animal lover and would welcome the opportunity to enjoy the company of a pet while also generating a second income. My house is conveniently located at a few steps from the beautiful Knighton park and - being a keen outdoor and active person - I enjoy taking dogs for at least two refreshing walks in the park daily. I have also at my disposal a very spacious secure garden which your pet would be delighted to explore. I have a long experience caring for animals. In my travelling days - year 2002 - I've even managed my own dogs sanctuary in Zipolite, Mexico, where I used to care for 12 dogs rescued from the street. Similarly, I have been a happy & proud owner of 3 cats in the not-so-distant past and have a true passion for our feline friends. To make sure your pet's stay will be as pleasant and enjoyable as possible, I always like to arrange a (free of charge) meeting with clients and their pet/s at first, so that I can familiarise with their pet/s and get detailed information about their main needs. I collect all this info in a "personal pet card" that will be stored in my archive for future reference - as most of my clients come back again and again. The meeting is also a good way to make your pet/s settle more easily when they come the second time to stay with me for their "holiday". As a picture and video fanatic, I like to post regular updates via email (or other handy application such as WhatApps) so that the owners can watch and enjoy their pets having fun during their holiday. I can offer excellent references and I am available for all types of pet-sitting: daily/vacation, regular or one-off thing. To conclude I will give your pets an unforgettably pleasant holiday with plenty of treats, love & fun!

Really amazing experience using Francesca to look after my dog Winnie (8 nights boarding). Great communication, and felt very reassured to be leaving Winnie with someone who has lots of experience with dogs. I would absolutely recommend, and will definitely be using Francesca again in the future! 💛

We had a stress free time leaving Winnie with Francesca , on first meeting she was friendly and helpful with all the information needed ! Then the long weekend we left Winnie we was sent photos and videos which kept us happy that she was ok ! Will definitely use again when we have to !

Francesca is clearly very experienced with dogs (more so than us!) so we were able to leave Poppy with her for the afternoon/evening confident that she would be well looked after. It was great to get the video updates where we could see Poppy was having a great time. I have no hesitation in recommending Francesca. Thank you so much x
