Experienced Bully XL Owner & Caring Dog Sitter You
I’ve always had a deep love for dogs, especially big and energetic breeds. I grew up with an XL Bully, so I know exactly how to handle powerful dogs with patience, confidence, and care. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or calm cuddles, I adapt to each dog’s personality and needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and always focused on keeping your pet safe and happy while you’re away. From playful puppies to older companions who need a slower pace. I treat every dog like my own

Ratings and reviews
Francis really helped me out at the last minute after someone else on here let me down. My dog, Creed, was instantly welcomed by Francis and his housemates. After a good sniff round Creed seemed to like the place. Francis is experienced with looking after energetic dogs, which gave me comfort, as this was my first time leaving my dog with a sitter. Francis kept me updated with photos and videos on the two nights Creed stayed with him. When I went to pick Creed up again he appeared happy and well looked after and calm in Francis’ company. Very grateful for Francis helping me out last minute and would definitely use him again.. Would fully recommend Francis to anyone else looking a dog sitter.

I was desperately searching for someone to look after our beloved dog of 10 years, Willow, and I can honestly say there couldn’t have been a more perfect fit than Francis. From our very first interaction, he was friendly, approachable, professional, punctual, and incredibly reassuring. Entrusting someone with your dog, especially one with very specific needs, is never easy, but Francis immediately put our minds at ease. I explained in detail that Willow is a very anxious dog who has never been left alone with anyone other than us. Naturally, we were extremely worried about how she would cope. Francis listened carefully to everything we said, took all of Willow’s needs on board without hesitation, and handled the situation with complete understanding and confidence. He never once made us feel like our concerns were too much, quite the opposite. He embraced the challenge and absolutely delivered. What truly amazed me was how comfortable Willow became with him. I personally had never seen her so relaxed and at ease with anyone else before. Francis was instantly welcomed by her, which speaks volumes about his calm, caring nature and natural way with dogs. Throughout the entire time, Francis went above and beyond to keep us reassured. He sent pictures and videos multiple times a day, without us even needing to ask, just so we could see how Willow was doing and feel connected while we were away. That level of thoughtfulness meant the world to us and made such a difference. Francis is patient, kind, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs he looks after. He didn’t just “watch” Willow, he truly cared for her. He ticked every single box we were hoping for and so many more we didn’t even realise we needed. I would highly, highly recommend Francis to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and exceptional dogsitter to care for their loved one. We are beyond grateful to have found him and will absolutely be asking for his services again in the future. Thank you, Francis, for taking such wonderful care of our Willow!

Francis was absolutely fantastic. Firstly, he visited in my home a week prior to the sitting to see Mase and spend time with him before the official booking. I took Mase to Francis‘s home and immediately he felt welcome; He seemed to like the place instantly and I could see he was going to have a really good time. What made it special was Francis kept me updated throughout the day with videos of Mase having fun sleeping and when I came to collect him this morning. He looked well taken care of. I didn’t think he wanted to actually leave. He really enjoyed his time with Francis and I would definitely book Francis again for future bookings.

“Francis took care of my two dogs while I was away, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He’s reliable, caring, and clearly understands dogs — even my larger one, who can be a bit stubborn, bonded with him right away. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind. When I came back, both dogs were relaxed and happy. I would absolutely trust Francis again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly loves animal

Schedule
I work part-time and often from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for pets throughout the day. My schedule allows me to take regular walks, give attention and playtime, and provide a calm, consistent presence for your dog. Whether it’s morning cuddles, midday walks, or evening feeding time. I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious home with a fenced garden where dogs can safely play and relax. The neighborhood is peaceful and perfect for calm walks. I always make sure each dog feels comfortable, secure, and loved whether they stay with me or I care for them in their own home. Safety, trust, and genuine affection are my top priorities.
A typical day
A typical day starts with a nice morning walk to get some energy out and enjoy the fresh air. During the day, I make sure there’s plenty of playtime, cuddles, and mental stimulation, from fetch in the garden to short training games. In the afternoon we usually go for another walk around my quiet neighborhood, followed by some time to relax. My goal is always to keep your dog happy, active, and calm while you’re away.
