Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog and cat sitter
I’ve grown up around animals my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. I have 19 years of experience living with and caring for cats, and I’ve regularly looked after my mum’s and dad’s dogs while they’ve been away, including feeding, walking, playing with them and keeping them company. I’ve also worked in stables, where I cared for horses and learned the importance of following routines, being reliable and putting animal welfare first. I’m confident with pets of different personalities and understand that every animal has their own routine and needs. I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy and well looked after.

Safety, trust & environment
I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, stick to your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I have experience caring for dogs, cats and horses, and I’ll treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates for peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
Francesca was absolutely brilliant- Henlow took to her immediately and I was reassured Henlow was in good hands. I’d book Francesca again in a heartbeat ☺️
I’ve seen how naturally patient and caring she is with dogs through the way she interacts with my puppy, Arrow. She’s always calm, playful, and genuinely enjoys spending time with him. One thing she introduced me to was wrapping his kibble up in a blanket so he had to sniff and work to find it, which was a great form of mental enrichment and kept him happily occupied. She’s always thinking of little ways to keep him stimulated rather than just entertained, and she’s very attentive to how he’s feeling and what he needs. Arrow absolutely loves her, and I would trust her to look after him without hesitation.
I cannot recommend Francesca highly enough. She has been caring for my two dogs, Woody and Mac, for the past nine years, and throughout that time she has been nothing short of exceptional. As any dog owner knows, trusting someone with your pets is a huge decision. Woody and Mac are part of our family, and leaving them in someone else's care has only ever been easy because of the complete confidence we have in her. She is reliable, professional, compassionate, and genuinely loves animals. From the moment she walks through the door, it's clear that their wellbeing is her top priority. What sets her apart is the way she treats every dog as if they were her own. Woody and Mac absolutely adore her, and seeing how excited they are whenever she arrives speaks volumes. She takes the time to understand their personalities, routines, and individual needs, ensuring they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. Over the years, she has consistently gone above and beyond. Whether it's providing updates and photos for peace of mind, accommodating changes in schedules, or noticing the little things that only someone truly attentive would pick up on, she has always exceeded our expectations. In nearly a decade of relying on her, she has proven herself to be trustworthy, dependable, and incredibly caring. If you're looking for someone who will care for your pets with the same love and attention that you do, I would recommend her without hesitation. Woody and Mac are healthier, happier, and more relaxed because of the wonderful care she provides, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. Ryan Proud owner of Woody and Mac

I’m currently flexible and can work around your pet’s routine. Whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays or looking after your pets while you’re away, I’m happy to provide reliable care. I’ll always make sure your pets get the attention, exercise and companionship they need while you’re away.
