About
Hi, I’m Francois Smit, a remote-working marketing professional and passionate dog and cat lover.At home, we have a lovely cat named Chloe, who I adore, but I’ve really missed having a dog around. Unfortunately, Chloe isn’t very sociable with other animals.That’s why I started this business: to combine my love for dogs and cats with my flexible remote work schedule, so I can care for pets in Newbury, Thatcham, Wash Common, and nearby areas.I’ve had the pleasure of helping many clients with dog walking, cat sitting, and house sitting, providing loving, DBS-checked care that keeps your pets comfortable in their own home.I look forward to working with you and meeting your furry friends.
