Who is walking your dog?
Hi I'm Francesca, born and bred in York. I have always loved the great outdoors whether hiking or mountain biking, I'm happiest being out in nature. I also have a passion for dogs and regularly take part in canicross races with my little superstar, Dougie the cockapoo. Staying active with him has inspired me to turn what I love most into something I can share with others.
Our Services
Solo Walks
Perfect for dogs who prefer one to one attention or need a quieter more tailored experience. Great for nervous, reactive, elderly dogs or simply ones who like their own space.
Group Walks
All about fun, exercise & social time for your dog. With each walk lasting an hour it gives your dog plenty of time to run, play, sniff and burn off energy.
Home Visits
Playtime for puppies, toilet breaks or feeding; how can we help you? Some dogs just need that extra care, company or can't do walks anymore.

Sadie
Fran helped me with Sadie almost from day one, she did puppy visits whilst I was in shifts and made sure Sadie had company, fun and was happily settled and safe. When she was old enough Sadie started having walks and adventures with Fran and she always returns happy and sleepy - exactly what you want for a happy dog! I can't recommend Fran enough, she's a genuine dog lover. She puts dogs, their safety and happiness first. She's the only person I'd trust with my dog. Sara T
Athena is a bit weary of some people but not Fran. She is straight to Fran as soon as the door opens, with her 'prancing puppy move' which shows she is very excited. Its always a new adventure for Athena and we have complete confidence in Fran to keep her safe and come home tired but happy. We have know Fran for a while and she is a genuine dog lover. Colin H
