About Francis

My name is Frank and I'm a Teacher and Residential Support Worker who grew up with pets and a love for all creatures great & small. I am responsible for the safety and welfare of children every day so I'm very aware of safe and empathetic practices.

I currently work 24hr shifts and would prefer yo look after pets at your residence. I sleep at work and hostels so this is very much a perfect opportunity to look after animals while having a place to stay. I am happy to arrange discount rates for longer term stays and random evenings - as this suits my current living situation.

I grew up with a beutiful, loyal Turkish Van cat and a Jack Russel dog who each had their own charismatic personalities. While spending time with friends and family, I'm the one who will be drawn to the animal in the room straight away. I understand patience with animals and gaining their trust through a delicate and considered approach. Of course, some animals just love people and that also makes me very happy!

I have looked after dogs and cats at home while my friends and family are away, and I thrive off having the company of a non-judgemtnal animal by my side. The companionship of a pet, with it's unique personality is something I yearn for, whilst I don't have a pet of my own currently.

I have a fully enhanced DBS and I am a kind, caring, reliable and trustworthy indivdual. Whatever your pet needs, I am happy to oblige. Whether that's lots of belly rubs and scratches behind the ears, or a neutral approach and walking/running. I'm keen on exercise, with my PE teaching background, so would love to take dogs on long walks, runs, and play time.

Francis took amazing care of our cats. He was kind, considerate, followed instructions and sent regular updates including videos and was always polite and considerate. He also watered my plants and left the house clean and tidy. Would highly recommend 😊 Thanks Francis!

Specific Skills

I speak English
+5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I have owned three family cats who all had very different personalities. One was very much a house cat and required attentiveness and awareness on safety. Another spent a lot of time outdoors and would be very independent. The other was somewhere in the middle! This taught me an understanding of different approaches. I have owned a Jack Russel dog who was a rescue, suffering with the mange, and had some behavioural issues due to neglect. I was able to treat her with oral medicine and specialised bathing treatment. After months of medication and treatment, she began to grow her hair back, regain regular pads on her paws and become a well trained dog that would listen to instruction. Moreover, she enjoyed her life and was able to live free with lots of play, care and attention. I have learnt through much patience, repetition and reward that even the most disobedient dogs can gain some level of training and can enjoy being around people and other dogs a lot more.
