Pet care experience

Your dog's bestie!

Hi, I’m Francisca! Originally from Chile, I work as a curator and writer now based in South East London. While I love the arts, my biggest passion outside of work has always been animals—especially dogs! Growing up surrounded by pets, caring for them with patience, affection, and intuition is second nature to me. Now settled in Nunhead / Peckham, I’d love to lend a helping hand to local pet parents. Whether you have a bouncy puppy who needs active play, a rescue dog who needs a calm touch, or a gentle senior who prefers long naps and quiet strolls, I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. COVERAGE AREA & SERVICES I'm based in Nunhead/Peckham (SE15) and travel everywhere by bike, covering nearby neighbourhood areas within a cycling distance (including Peckham, Nunhead, Camberwell, New Cross, Brockley, and East Dulwich). - Dog Walking & Exercise: Fun, safe neighbourhood walks tailored to your dog’s specific age, energy level, and mobility needs. - Drop-In Visits & House Sitting: Feeding, fresh water, medication administration if needed, continuous companionship, and plenty of belly rubs while keeping your home safe and tidy. - Tailored Attention for All Ages: Experienced with everything from high-energy puppies to delicate seniors and anxious pups needing a gentle, quiet presence. - Your dog’s happiness and safety are my absolute priorities. - Daily Photo & Video Updates: I will send regular photo and video updates with every booking so you never have to wonder how your pup is doing. - Free Meet & Greet: I always insist on a free, no-obligation Meet & Greet prior to any booking to learn your dog’s unique personality, home routine, and medical/dietary needs. Send me a message with your neighbourhood and dates—I’d love to meet you and your four-legged bestie!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a luminous flat where I spend most of the time, as I work from home. With several parks nearby, I have good access to many green areas.

A typical day

I provide a balanced environment of low-impact fun and soothing companionship. Whether it's peaceful strolls around the block, gentle playtime, brain games to keep their mind sharp, or simply lounging nearby while receiving lots of affection, your dog will feel comfortable, loved, and right at home.

Francisca can host up to 2 pets per night
To provide the best possible care, I like to know a few details about your pet in advance: their daily routine, dietary needs or food allergies, medication schedules, behavior around other dogs or strangers, and any triggers like thunder or loud noises. Knowing their favorite comfort items, house rules, and vet details ensures a seamless, safe, and stress-free stay!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
