My name is Frances and I am the founder and proud owner of Four Paws. I started my business simply because of my love for dogs, combined with my love for walking and the great outdoors.
I understand how important it is to know that your pet/s are safe and cared for by someone that you can rely on and trust completely.
From very early childhood I grew up with dogs being part of the family and had various small ‘furries’ including Chinchillas, Guinea Pigs, Rabbits, Hamsters and more. I currently share my home with ‘Ella’ our 5 year old Border Terrier who is the most wonderful companion and ‘Spike’ my son’s Bearded Dragon, who is amazing!
I moved to Wimborne Minster as a teenager and on finishing my education I trained as an Estate Agent. I then had my family and started my own business helping people (mainly elderly) to manage in their own homes. After the couple I helped sadly both passed away in 2010,
I began walking friends’ dogs and it went from there in 2013 
Fours Paws was started 
For your peace of mind, I hold the following
Pet Business Insurance
DBS Certificate
Canine Psychology
I have attended APDT Residential Foundation Course
NARPS membership
Dog First Aid Emergency Canine Care certificate
I feel extremely lucky that my job is my passion!
