Highlights
Pet care experience
Fluent in side eye & dramatic sighs
I am the proud co-owner of a rescue cockapoo who is reactive on the leash. Because of her, I have hands-on experience managing dog anxiety, scanning the environment on walks, and using positive redirection. I don't just offer standard walks, I offer vigilant, safety-first care. If your dog is a bit nervous, hyper-attached, or needs a calm handler who respects their boundaries, they will be in safe, understanding hands with me. Because of this, I truly understand that every dog is an individual and their needs always come first. Whether your dog needs a high-energy game of fetch, a slow and sniff-heavy walk to decompress, or just some quiet space to nap, I am fully committed to adapting myself to suit your fur baby's needs. I want to know all about your dog’s unique quirks, favorite treats, and specific boundaries so I can mirror their exact routine and make them feel completely safe and at home. My cockapoo stays with her loving co-owner for half the week and will do so during any house sitting bookings. Please note: My house sitting rate (£30) reflects either day or evening sitting. Overnight house sitting requests will be adjusted to up to £50 per night.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
For your peace of mind, I am independently insured in addition to the standard coverage. I understand that letting someone stay in your home is a big deal. Your pet’s physical safety and the security of your property are my top priorities. I will strictly follow your specific instructions regarding locking doors, setting alarms, and securing gates.
Ratings and reviews
Francesca was fantastic. Toby felt really comfortable with her straight away. She engaged with toby, played with him and took him out when he needed, encouraged him to rest too. She was in time, and the house was left as we'd left it. Just fantastic, thank you

Schedule
House sitting: I know from experience how comforting it is for a fur baby just to have a reassuring presence around. While your pet is under my care, they will have my full supervision, dedicated attention, and all the cwtches they could possibly want! I completely understand how important it is for owners to feel 100% confident leaving their precious family members. I will treat every dog like a member of my own family, keeping their environment calm, predictable, and incredibly loving. I will also send you photo updates so you can see exactly how much fun they are having. I offer flexible house sitting with full availability on weekends. On weekdays, I am available to house sit as I work remotely. As long as you have reliable Wi-Fi, I can base myself at your home, meaning your pet will benefit from constant, all-day companionship and a normal routine. I will fit my day around your dog's normal routine including feeding times, play, walkies and rest. Dog walking: I will adapt walking routes to best suit your dogs needs, whether that be multiple short walks, long walks or sniff heavy strolls. Your dog’s safety is my absolute highest priority while out on the street. I will keep dogs on a secure, short leash at all times. Drop ins: I am able to check on your dog while you are away for the day. This could be to give your dog some companionship, a toilet break, provide some mental/physical stimulation or a feeding check-in. I will always send you a detailed update and photos immediately after the visit so you can see exactly how they are doing.
