Safety, trust & environment

Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Information François D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is afraid or aggressive with cats, other dogs or wild life. Let me know if they tend to run away or need to stay on leash at all time or if they have special needs such as medications etc...and how they do in cars as I go explore different natural areas to walk in everyday and I take my car to get there.

A typical day

I go on long walks in the conservation area every day and dogs love being able to spend time in this preserved environment full of scents and interesting wild life. I also love playing and cuddling with animals at home, giving them lots of attention and treats (if allowed by owner).

Hazel is always excited when she realizes that she is going to stay with Francois and always very tired and happy when she gets home. We enjoy the photos and updates and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Francois to our friends and family.

Francois was excellent! Our first time leaving our dog with someone and Teddy seems very happy!! Thank you Francois for the ease of dropping Teddy off and picking him up and coordinate the visit. You will look forward to seeing you in the future.

Our sweet Golden was relaxed and calm when we picked her up- a reflection of the comfort and security she felt staying with François. François quickly responds to correspondence. And he sends thoughtful, regular updates and photos. Georgie especially loved his deck, walks and good company!

Our 4 yr. old Jemma had a delightful first Rover overnight with François. She was happy with her walks in the forest and chill time by the couch. She gave François 5 stars.
