Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Francesca! I’m currently a fourth year vet student at the Royal Veterinary College. I am happiest when spending time with animals, and I would love to provide pet care services for your dog/cat! I have been looking after pets for almost 2 years alongside my studies, and I have absolutely loved getting to know the personality of each and every dog I have cared for. As a pet owner myself, I understand that it can be daunting leaving your pet with someone else, which is why I aim to make the process as stress free as possible: I provide a (free) initial meet and greet, as well as regular updates with pictures as often as you would like! I have experience caring for my own dog, Daisy, a Springer Spaniel cross, who has plenty of energy and needs lots of stimulation. She has recently lost her vision almost entirely, and so I welcome any dogs with visual impairments as I feel confident in being able to manage this. I have experience with energetic dogs who require lots of play and interaction, as well as more laid back dogs who may require a slower pace. Just let me know what your dog needs and I will adapt my services to suit them. My goal is always to prioritise the individual needs of your pet to keep them happy and safe! I also have experience in owning cats, and I have previously been a volunteer at Freshfields Animal rescue (back at home in Liverpool) in the cattery, so I am used to following different dietary requirements and also administering medicine in food. I would love to help look after your pet, and love them as if they were my own! Please don’t hesitate to message me if you have any questions or requests, thanks for reading!
Reviews
Lovely friendly and alli took to her right away
Milly had another wonderful walk with Francesca who always gives absolutely perfect service. She is kind, friendly and kept us up to date with adorable pictures and updates. We will continue to use Francesca and highly recommend her services!
We love having Francesca look after our little one. She is honestly so good with him and we trust her completely. She is just the best!
Francesca did a fantastic job sitting Maple overnight. She understood the peculiarities of our special dog and sent regular updates. We hope she can watch Maple again in future!

I will follow any instructions given by the owner, such as keeping dogs on leads at all times, or keeping them out of certain rooms in the house. Can also do small household tasks when house sitting if required, such as watering plants, taking in mail etc.
Information Francesca N. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special requirements or behaviours I need to be aware of, such as how they interact with other dogs/people, any allergies or any other need to know information.
A typical day
Long, fun walks to local parks and green spaces, or anywhere your dog would like to go! Playing fetch with a ball, jogging with high energy dogs, and interaction with other dogs if allowed by the owner :)
