Pet care experience

Hello, fellow pet parents! I'm a devoted animal-lover with a passion for providing reliable, trustworthy, and professional pet care services. As a dedicated dog walker and sitter in Newbury and surrounding, I work tirelessly to ensure your pets receive the love and attention they deserve when you can't be there. 🐕‍🦺 About Me: I work remotely in Marketing, which offers me the flexibility to care for your pets on both weekdays and weekends. Growing up in a household with four dogs and two cats, my love for animals blossomed early on. Currently, my partner and I share our home with Chloe, our adorable and playful 2-year-old cat, who has become our furry child. 🏆 Glowing Reviews & References: I'm proud to have accumulated numerous positive reviews and references from satisfied clients who trust me to care for their pets during house sits. My experience with a variety of cats and dogs means that I can confidently look after any pet, ensuring their comfort and happiness. 💼 Professional & Detail-Oriented: I understand the stress of finding the perfect person to care for your pets while you're away. To ensure a smooth and stress-free experience, I value clear written instructions to guarantee a flawless job. As a non-smoker who embraces a healthy lifestyle. 🐾 Your Pet's Happiness, My Priority: I can't wait to meet your pets and provide them with the same love, joy, and entertainment that Chloe brings to our lives. Let me be your pet's best friend, offering you peace of mind knowing they're in the best possible care. Book my services today, and let's create some paws-itively wonderful memories together!

Not only was Francois was absolutely wonderful with my two wild weims, but he was super flexible and great at communicating with me too! He sent picture updates, tracked their entire walk, and kept me in the loop throughout. We can’t wait to book him again :)

Francois was fantastic! He looked after our precious cat who is not a big fan of strangers but Francois really got her to warm up to him quickly. She was well cared for and given all the attention she could ask for while we were away.

He did such a good job on the last booking, that I had no hesitation in booking him again to look after our 2 cats. Polite, friendly, professional and kept us well informed on how the visits were going. Would highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety & Trust: Your Pet's Well-being Comes First🔒 To ensure your pet's safety and well-being, I prefer to look after them in the familiar and comfortable surroundings of your home. Our own cat, Chloe, doesn't get along well with other animals, so in-home care guarantees a stress-free environment for all pets involved. 🏠 Proven House Sitting Experience: I have successfully completed several house sits, earning great reviews from satisfied pet owners. You can trust me to provide excellent care for your pets and maintain a secure, clean, and orderly home during my stay. 📣 Open Communication: I firmly believe in the power of clear communication as the key to a successful pet sitting experience. I'll make every effort to gather all the necessary information about your pet's needs, preferences, and routines. Additionally, I'll provide regular updates and be easily reachable to address any concerns or answer questions during my time with your pet. By prioritizing safety, trust, and communication, I aim to create a harmonious pet sitting experience that puts your mind at ease, knowing your beloved pet is in capable and caring hands.

Here are some essential details I'd like to know: Special Care Requirements: Please inform me if your dog has any medical conditions, allergies, or specific care needs, such as medication administration or special grooming routines. Favourite Toys & Playtime Preferences: Let me know about your dog's preferred toys and play activities, so I can engage them in the most enjoyable and stimulating ways possible. Energy Levels & Walk Distances: Understanding your dog's energy level helps me plan appropriate walks and exercise routines. Please provide information on their preferred walking distance and pace.

Additionally, please provide their regular eating schedule to maintain consistency during visits or stay-ins. Emergency Contact Details: For your dog's safety and well-being, I'll need your veterinarian's contact information and any relevant pet insurance details.

A typical day

A Typical Day: Fun, Exercise & Quality Time? My goal is to make every day a delightful experience for your pet by catering to their unique needs and preferences. Here's what a typical day with your pet might look like: ?‍♂️ Morning Walk: We'll start the day with a refreshing walk, exploring the local area and enjoying the fresh air. This helps your pet wake up and get their muscles moving, preparing them for an energetic day ahead. ? Playtime: If your pet is a fan of playing fetch or chasing after a ball, we'll spend some time engaging in their favorite activities. This not only keeps them entertained but also helps burn off excess energy. ?‍♂️ Long, Fast Walks (optional): For those pets with boundless energy, I'm happy to go on a more intense walk or run to help them burn off steam. As an exercise enthusiast myself, I appreciate the opportunity to keep both your pet and myself active and healthy. ? Customized Activities: Each pet is unique, and I'll adjust our daily routine to suit their individual needs, whether it's extra playtime, cuddles, or simply some quiet companionship. By providing a balance of physical activity and mental stimulation, I ensure that your pet has a fulfilling day while in my care.
