Information Francis B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog likes to go running with you as I am a keen runner and they can join me for a run if that's a normal thing for them to do.

A typical day

We're up early every day getting ready for the school run. Dogs get a morning walk either on the nearby field or a 30+ min lead walk on the school run. I also do another walk depending on the weather in the early afternoon. At the weekend the routine is similar but in the afternoon we'll do a walk to a local park or along the canal. In the evening we cuddle up with our pets on the sofa to relax.

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Albus loved his time with Francis and his family and it was lovely to come home to a relaxed, chilled puppy. Thank you

Francis was excellent, Luna had an amazing 2 days, and was loved by all the family. Meds were done ok, and their own dog was lovely and playful. Highly recommended.

Francis is a very friendly person and a fantastic dog sitter! Our cockaliar Leo loved staying with him and his lovely family. We were kept updated often and daily on Leo's activities and all the fun he was having with the family dog Bonnie. Leo was well fed and had plenty of walks, meeting new dogs which helped boost his confidence. I highly recommend Francis and I will most definitely use his service again.

We would recommend Francis to anyone! Looked after our dog Angus so well and we would be more than happy to have him looked after again. Went for plenty of lovely walks and seemed to have a great time! Thanks!
