About Francine

Hi! I’m Fran — a full-time, professional house sitter, pet sitter, and dog walker based in Surry Hills. I’ve been working with animals since 2013 and have over a decade of experience caring for pets and homes across Sydney.

I live a calm, quiet, sober lifestyle — and I treat every home I stay in with respect, care, and gratitude. I'm someone people trust with their keys, their animals, and their space.
I can care for your pet(s) in their own environment — and bring my dog, Roxy, along with me.

What I Offer:
Overnight house sitting in your home

Includes pet care (feeding, walking, cuddles, enrichment)

Daily updates and photos if you like

Light cleaning, plant care, bringing in mail, general house upkeep

Your home stays secure, peaceful, and loved while you’re away

Dog walking (Surry Hills, Redfern, Darlinghurst only)

1-hour minimum walks

Roxy often joins me, if your dog is cool with her

Enrichment, sniffing, mental stimulation — not just a loop around the block.

Cat Sitting (Pop-In Visits):

Feeding, litter changes, affection

Energy check-ins and photo updates

Calm, reliable care — I know how sensitive cats can be when their humans are away


About Roxy:
She’s my rescue dog — part Border Collie / Staffy / Ridgeback. She’s funny, emotional, well-behaved in homes, and loves most small, relaxed dogs. She’s house-trained and has been my partner in city life for years.
If your dog is cool with other dogs, this will likely be a chill, joyful arrangement.
I always do a meet-and-greet first to make sure it’s a match.

Why You’ll Love Working With Me:
10+ years of experience in pet care and house sitting

Known and trusted in the Surry Hills community

Reliable, warm, clean, and drama-free

Clear communication and genuine love for animals

References available

If you're travelling and want your home and pets cared for with honesty and love, I’d love to connect and meet in person. Let’s make sure everyone — human and animal — feels good about the vibe.
