Pet care experience
The area where I live has got easy access to 2 different parks about 5-10mins walk away where I can take your dog easily and anytime. I’ve loved dogs ever since I was little, but sadly I never have had dogs of my own – so far! However I have had done work experience with Jerry Green Dog Rescue centre, I have walked lots of dogs before, both at my work experience and my friends’. I've been doing dogsitting for 3 years now and counting. I have recently started a new part time role as an advocacy worker, which is allowing me to be able to continue my dogsitting services again. My role is to follow the routine you have with your doggies at home, such as walking, brushing, and feeding, (if you provide the food) and day care which is done your place. Whenever I get a job from you, I will be asking you questions about the dogs, like how far can he/she walk, his/her regular behaviours, etc. I can look after a variety of dogs with extra/special needs as I have cared for deaf, blind, partially paralysed and elderly dogs before. Please bear in mind, due to my deafness, I will not be taking off the lead at any time during walkies, so do please provide a long lead for the dog to run around. If not provided or an issue, I am able to research and find places/parks suitable to take your dog to. I can drive so I can travel to further places or difficult to reach, take your dog to different new places to explore if suitable and I'm happy to go in any weather. Lastly, this isn’t just a job to me, it’s something for me to do to make myself and your dog happier, it’s also for me to gain more experience. I will and always have valued every single dog passionately and equally, so there will be no doubt that I will appreciate and take care of your dog!
Reviews
Frankie was a superb dog sitter and ensured our pups were well looked after and relaxed. Thank you!
Frankie was fab - kept me updated when she arrived and throughout the walk with pictures and videos of her and Tony having a blast! I had to book last minute so we weren't able to meet prior but Frankie was very flexible and understanding of this. Would definitely recommend and book Frankie again!
Frankie was amazing with Kylo. It was the first time that we left him with a dog sitter and Frankie looked after him very well. I was at ease about dropping Kylo with Frankie after our meet and greet. Frankie kept me updated throughout the day which was amazing. Kylo had an amazing day with Frankie, and I would definitely use Frankie again. Thank you Frankie.
Really happy! Sent me lots of updates of Rufus having a blast! Highly recommend

I would be taking your dog/s out regularly for loo breaks if needed. I do not leave any dogs on their own for long durations or out of my sight regularly. I also use lead at all times.
Information Frankie L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your doggies has a tendency to chase or have an high interest in prey animals so I'll know to keep an eye out for preys. Please also let me know if your doggies has any nervous tendencies or any other issues that I will need to keep an eye on.
A typical day
I tend to ask for and follow your routine you have for your doggies if any to limit their stress and keep them reassured. When not stated, I will play with your doggies with balls as well as their toys. Give them cuddles when they want it and allow them to sleep if they need it rather than pestering them. I work and play around your doggies' behaviour and personality, eg. if they're nervous I will keep walking the same route but if they're confident I will walk different routes to keep them entertained.
