Absolutely brilliant Fran ! Highly recommended, She had our both dogs Manny & Frank for 15 days well we went on are summer holiday abroad . Lots of updates , photos & videos. Brilliantly priced. Can’t thank her enough, if you want good care for your fur babies she’s the best :) xx
We spent a lot of time looking for the right environment for Skye to stay in when we needed to go away. As a recent rescue it was really important it was somewhere she would feel comfortable and secure. It was obvious from the first time they met that Skye would be happy and well cared for while at Fran's. The regular photo and video updates really put us at ease, seeing our slightly nervous dog happily snoozing upside down on the sofa was everything we could have hoped for. Skye clearly has a great time and comes home happy and healthy. We couldn't ask for anything more!
Our young labrador Rex has loved spending time with Fran while we've been away. He clearly has a great time and is given lots of attention. We also really appreciate the photos and updates we get whilst he's staying there and it's great to return to him happy and healthy. We'll be continuing to use Fran's services as Rex loves it!
Fran looked after my fur baby Henry, the Dalmatian in the photos, while I was on holiday for a week. While he was at Frans he was very unwell and she came home to a mess that she had to clean up. I know that Henry was super looked after while he was so unwell and I really appreciated that. It turned out Henry had cancer and passed away shortly after 😪 We have a new fur baby now and will not hesitate in using Frans services again. If you want yours to be looked after how you would, then Fran is the lady for the job. So friendly and warm. They could not be in safer hands. It really is home from home. ❤
Dexter loves going to Fran, he gets a separation Anxiety when away from us, but loves being in Frans house, so it means we feel relaxed & he comes away very happy! This is important to us! Fran & her family are dog lovers & it really shows, coz the dogs love them too!!
