Fran has been a godsend to me. I work full time and unexpectedly found myself with a 7 month old Chinese Crested puppy when his owner sadly died. With 2 housecats in an already full flat, I needed support to not only exercise Rudy every day, but make sure he and the cats wouldn’t kill each other. I didn’t just need a ‘dog-walker’ (who are ten a penny) I needed someone who really cared about my animals and understood my anxieties. A ‘pet-Nanny’! Rudy is a funny little dog and doesn’t take to everybody, but from our first meeting I knew Fran was perfect. She didn’t crowd him, she let him come to her and now she is part of his (very honoured) inner circle. Two years on, the cats and Rudy live in harmony in a much more spacious house with a garden, but Fran remains integral to their day. She visits for an hour a day to walk Rudy and give the cats some love and most of all, removes any guilt or anxiety from me, knowing they’re having attention and stimulation whilst I’m at work. I couldn’t have kept all my pets AND worked the hours I work without Fran. She’s is trustworthy, kind, flexible and worth her weight in gold.
